Major Topics and Key Takeaways

---

1. Charles Oakley vs. Patrick Ewing: Beef Among Legends

[03:19–13:07]

• Charles Oakley’s Beef: Oakley is publicly "drawing the line" with Ewing, citing Ewing not speaking to him at a Cleveland game (Oakley’s hometown), despite a decade of playing together and personal ties:

  • “For Patrick not to be a man enough to come and talk to me after having his back for 10 years… He's a coward.” — Shannon quoting Oakley [03:19]
  • “He might make money, all-star, dream team, but that doesn't make you a good person. Lord have mercy.” — Oakley as quoted

• Hosts Reactions:

  • “We not supposed to be beefing at our age.” — Joe Johnson [04:44]
  • Ochocinco and Shannon reflect that Oakley is notorious for holding a grudge, and has a zero-tolerance policy for disrespect.
    • “If you cross him, it's over.” — Shannon Sharpe [04:54]

• Oakley’s Reputation: Tales of Oakley’s intimidating presence and physicality, including stories of him confronting players who wronged him, even driving "ten hours" to do so, and not hesitating to slap a guy at shootaround [08:35–09:03].

  • “Hey, if you owe him money, he gonna knock…” — Shannon [07:23]
  • Oakley as the old school, street-enforcer archetype—respected but not to be trifled with.

• Michael Jordan is the Only Peacemaker: MJ could calm Oakley down when few others could [10:05].

• Memorable Quote:

  • “If you tell Oak you could borrow a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand… If you tell him you're gonna give his money by a date, have that man money on that date.” — Shannon Sharpe [11:31]

2. NBA Superteam Rumor: Steph Recruiting LeBron?

[13:12–17:19]

• Rumor: Steph Curry allegedly planning to recruit LeBron James to the Warriors for a final “title push” that could include Curry, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, and Kristaps Porzingis.

• Analysis: Panel is both excited and skeptical:

  • Chemistry concerns, age, and defense are questioned.
  • Ochocinco: “It's gonna depend on who they put around them… it's hard playing with some of these great players." [17:06]
  • Shannon: Defense is the biggest worry, especially with so many young wing stars in the West.

• Would it work?

  • Must-watch TV, but only viable with the right young complement.
  • Joe Johnson: “The chances are slim… as great as they are, they're not going to be able to run up and down with them young boys, man, coming out the West.” [16:29]

3. Houston Rockets Unveil Retro Uniforms

[17:34–20:03]

4. AJ Brown Admits Leaking Stories to Motivate Eagles

[23:36–31:30]

• Bombshell: A.J. Brown admitted to “leaking stories” to the media to motivate the Eagles [23:36]:

  • “It was done purposely to give us a push. It gives everything legs to push everyone to be better.” — AJ Brown, quoted by Shannon

• Host Disapproval:

  • Shannon is animatedly critical:
    • "I don't condone that… I'm not giving out any information about my team." [29:27]
    • “Don't show up your teammate, especially not the quarterback. Quarterbacks have the most fragile egos… They just do the best job of hiding it.” [30:58]
  • Joe: “He got that C on his chest… there's really no need for him to leak anything.” [31:30]

• Locker Room Ethics:

  • “Ocho… some things are better left unsaid.” — Shannon [25:52]

  • Others: Chiefs, Bengals, Cowboys, Bills, Ravens, 49ers, etc.

  • Discussion on the changing value of running backs: “The running back done diminished for real, ain’t it?” — Ochocinco [37:53]

---

6. High School Track Scandal and Storytime

• Explainer: Result of a disqualification at NC high school track championship reversed; two schools awarded co-champs. Shannon dislikes “co-champions” when one team clearly won head-to-head.

For Patrick not to be a man enough to come and talk to me after having his back for 10 years. He's a coward. Nah, nah, nah. The last straw was when we was in Cleveland, and he knows I'm from Cleveland. He knew I was at the game, and he didn't speak to me as many times as he's been to my mother's house. He can't speak to me. Nah, I'm drawing the line. I mean, I played with him for 10 years. He's just not a good person. He might make money, all star dream team, but that doesn't make you a good person. Lord have mercy.

[Joe Johnson]

What's going on with you? Hey, hey, hey, Jo.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't know. I didn't know. I didn't know he had to be. I didn't know he had to be with Patrick. You. Because, hell, if I knew it was gonna be the topic, you know me, I'd hit his ass up. Hell, I got to come on the damn. I gotta come on the show. Yeah, I know it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

O. I'mma tell you. Listen, I know Oak been knowing oak 30 years. Oak is the type of dude, if you cross him, it's over. Yeah, but that really like that.

[Joe Johnson]

It's just that crossing, you know, he didn't. He didn't speak to him. That's really nothing to be angry.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Well, I think it's more to it than that. Ooh, yes, I want to it than that. That was just. That was just one incident he probably pointed out, you know, considering the fact that he from Cleveland was at the game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, he know, you know, I'm at the game and you don't speak. But it's.

[Chad Ochocinco]

It's more that doesn't happen than. Than just being in Cleveland, you know? And that probably just took the icing off the cake. You feel me?

[Joe Johnson]

Right? Right?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I wish I'd known because I'd had Oak come on here and tell you

[Chad Ochocinco]

[Shannon Sharpe]

I report back to y', all, what he tell me, he'll probably want to come on and tell you his damn self so I don't miss, so I don't misconstrue anything.

[Joe Johnson]

Oak probably got a lot of pressure right now. He need to. Need to get off his chest. You know, the stuff with the Knicks, you know, at the Garden, James Dolan, now Patrick, he. And he probably just need to release some stress, man. Like, just. Just let it all out. Ask Oak if you want to fight.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Fight. Who?

[Joe Johnson]

Me?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Come on, man, chill.

[Joe Johnson]

No, I'm just.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah, he done chill now, so

[Joe Johnson]

you can release all that anger, man, and, you know, you just. Just use me as you point your bag and then let all bygones be bygones.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The. Oh, man, look, like I said, when everybody tell the stories, what do they tell? Did anybody say, man, dude, step the oak? Like, oh, people don't realize how big. Okay. Oak don't have a basketball body. Oak got a football body. Oh, strong. Listen, now, I'm talking about. I'm talking about physically. I'm talking about weight room strong. I'm talking about owns court strong. Oh, is a strong big ass, man.

He ain't gonna do no. He gonna ask you one time, you got my money, you eat. Hey, you either say, yeah, I got it, or if you say Clown. Before you say the. Oh, no, he's slapping firefly.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, hey, I, I've been.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm telling you, I. I know him. Like I said, I. I've been knowing him 30 plus years. Hey, if you. If you borrow money from him and you tell him you gonna give it back at a certain date, have that man money or go borrow the money that you borrowed from him, borrow from somebody else that you know can't whip you, and you can pay him when you want to, because if you owe him money, he gonna knock. 5.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, listen, I've been in the gym, bro. When I. I done seen it go down myself, Uncle Ocho, meaning here in Atlanta. We should play at this athletic club over here in Buckhead. I, I ain't, you know, I ain't gonna necessarily call out no name, but when he walked in, it was like a loose pit bull. You hear me? And he ain't say nothing. We was miss hooping in the midst of playing a game, got his ass up out of there to call them folks on him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah, I'm telling, I'm telling you, he's like that. People. When people say, oh, oh, he just go, no, he don't come. He don't calm down some. And, you know, that's why I like, hey, you're like, man, let's go. Nah, let's go to the restaurant, get something. We don't need to go to the club. Hey, let's go to the restaurant. Hey, let's go to the restaurant, get something.

[Joe Johnson]

Yo, he walked in there and put hands on somebody.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hell, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That man walked into another team's practice and slapped somebody just because he was on the phone with a chicken. And he came there and asking, who you talking to? He drove in the middle of the night. That man drove 10 hours to get at him. He couldn't find him. Guess what? They happen to be on the schedule. They had shoot around.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, what, the gym? Like, what you say? Five? Hold on.

[Joe Johnson]

He slapped somebody at their own shoot around.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You know, like a shoot around, Ocho. Like if it's one team that shoot around, like, soon as we getting finished, the other team will be kind of waiting right there. So they'll be walking on as we walking off. So we are running to each other. You know what I mean?

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's easy to.

[Chad Ochocinco]

It ain't nothing for you to touch somebody now, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, yes. He drove, first of all. He drove 10 hours, couldn't find him. He said, tell him I'm on my way. Hey, don't worry about it. Don't worry. Don't worry about it. He walked in the middle of their practice. Yeah. And then told, hey, man, you ain't slapped the dude? And told his partner, well, you should have helped him.

[Joe Johnson]

Yes, okay. Yes. I take back what I said. I don't wanna.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, man, like I said, I done hung with the dude at a lot of different places. I know. No, no, him.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, I only know one person who can cal down, bro, and that was mj. Yeah, I got a chance to hang out with him and MJ one night here in Atlanta after we played this softball game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, got into it with the damn. With the bouncer. The security at the club. Ocho couldn't get a he by jumping that boy like a cheap suit. You hear me? MJ had to come up. MJ had to come from back there and be like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. If it wasn't for that boy finna go down. Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, hey. Jump on him like a white joke.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Like a damn cheap suit. You finna jump on his ass?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, hey, hey. I'm like, bro, let's go. Let's go. Hey, we. We let the club. What? Not up here. He don't like to be touched. He don't. He don't like to be touched, and he don't like to be interrupted when he talking to somebody. Cause he said, that's disrespectful. You see me talking to somebody, man, Look, I don't, you know, we talking. Especially if you don't know that person.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He ain't.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He ain't to play with. He not to play with. So you see him a lot. Hey, throw your. Hey, throw your hand up. Throw your hand up and keep it moving. Just to actually tell you, but I

[Chad Ochocinco]

know all in all, though, he really a good dude, though.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, he ain't no good dude. He a great dude. Hey, he got eight. I could. I could come home because he used to have here. Hey. Oh, let me get your car. He a jimbo sharp. Say, you need my car, you have it at his house. You need some. Hey, you be somewhere. Oh, Let me hold 20. Let me hold 30. Let me hold 50 grand. No problem. He's a really, really good dude. And if he rock with you, but don't cross him. And if you tell him you're gonna give his money. If you tell. Oh, you could borrow a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand if you give him a date, say, oak. I'm gonna have your money at this date. Have that man money on that date. If you don't have his money, he gonna walk up to you, he gonna say, man, you got my money. And when you say no in, that's all you. That O ain't coming out. It's gonna be like, oh, it ain't gonna be no, no. It's gonna be, oh, hey, he.

[Chad Ochocinco]

The best thing you can do is not to buy no damn lump sum of money like that from nobody. Like, oh, hell no. Because it's the principle. It's the principle for him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep. That's how you stand on it. But, yeah, like. Like Joe said, he a good dude. He rock with you. He rock with you. He loyal. He really, really loyal. If. Look, if he. If he rock with you and somebody talking about you let it go down. He ain't gonna let it go down. He said, nah, I rock with Sharp. I ain't trying to hear that. So you want to talk about it? Take your ass over there. That's how he is. That's how he is.

[Joe Johnson]

I like. I like them old stories, man. I like that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh. Steph Curry is planning on meeting with LeBron James to recruit him to the Warriors. And Now Bleacher predicts LeBron James could finish your career with the warriors on a two year, $30.8 million deal. The hypothetical move would pair LeBron James, Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Kristo for one final title push. Joe, imagine LeBron and Steph actually ending up on a team. Not a. Not a. An all star team, not an Olympic team, but an actual NBA team. Do you think Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, and Christoph Brzingas, is that enough to make them a title contender coming out of the West?

[Chad Ochocinco]

I like that combination. I think Steph and LeBron would complement each other so well. Draymond as well, Porzinga as well. But it depends on the type of the other. The others. The other guys that they gonna surround them guys with. Uncle Ocho, but because, let's face it, those guys are up in age and to. And to think that they just gonna walk through an 82 game damn season. That ain't gonna happen. That ain't gonna happen. So you're gonna have to have some great young talent, guys who know their role, play stars in their role and are willing to sacrifice, because at the end of the day, you know it's gonna revolve around Braun Curry and Draymond. And you gotta have a lot of these young guys, bro, who be willing to accept that and. And enjoy their role. So I would love to see it, though, I think it'll change the landscape of basketball. I think they'll be great if they can stay healthy. I think they definitely can make some noise.

[Shannon Sharpe]

My, My thing is, like, who's going to play defense? Like you said, Joe, Steph Curry's not as known as a defensive guy. LeBron is 40, going to be 42 years of age, and he can't play defense like he once could. Christoph Brzinga can't stay healthy. Jimmy Butler is coming off a knee injury. Draymond complet. Hey, Draymond is Draymond. We know what Draymond can do, but like you said, okay, what are you gonna feel around him? Because you're gonna have to have three

[Chad Ochocinco]

or four guys and perimeter guys. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes. No, you. No, you don't need no bigs. You need perimeter guys, you need guards. You need guys that can guard wing players. Because guess what? The west got wings. Somebody got to guard Ant Man. Somebody got to guard Murray. Somebody got to guard Shay and J Dub and all those guys. Somebody got to guard him. I don't know who, but I'm just saying somebody has.

[Chad Ochocinco]

So if you're going to team all those guys up, you got to be willing to put the right pieces around them. But, I mean, I'm sure the basketball world would love to see those guys team up. Hell, I ain't going to lie. I know I would. You know, I think it'll be must watch tv, the way Steph shoots, shoots the ball, the way Bron can score and facilitate and make guys around him better. I think Draymond would be great in the roles that he'll play. He'll be that emotional leader, that intimidator. He'll be that point forward who. Who gets guys involved. And you. You already know, Draymond knows his role. They gonna play winning basketball because they all. Yeah, yeah, they all gonna want another title. You know, if they all get another title, they all will be at 5, so I'm sure, you know, they'll be ring chasing for sure.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, but.

[Joe Johnson]

But you got to think about some of the teams in the west, you know, and. And. And LeBron and Steph and Draymond, as great as they are, the teams that they had, you know, the 73 and nine season, having KD, having Clay, I think it's a little bit different. And thinking that they even have a chance to come out the west with them young boys, them young Bulls, you know, out there right now, I mean, the chances are slim. Great, great team. You know, collectively, you know, all together. You would think experience and veteran presence would kind of give them the edge, but they're not going to be able to run up and down with them young boys, man, coming out the West.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That's why. That's why. That's why it's going to depend on who they put around them, bro.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You know, you. You gotta have. You gotta have some young talent, you know, who. Who can play. And, you know, it's kind of hard because y' all know, man, it's hard playing with some of these great players. It's gonna be hard playing with.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, for sure.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, it's hard playing with Steph Curry, you know, when you ain't never been in those situations, playing with that amount of talent, you know what I'm saying? Understanding that, hell, if you're a young dude to some degree, you're going to have to sacrifice your damn game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I agree. Joe Ocho. The ketchup and mustard look, inspired by the uniforms of the Rockets Wore during the 94, 95 championship seasons, are returning. The team unveiled the three. The new three jersey set and revamp logos Thursday that reintroduced yellow into the franchise palette. Take a look at the video.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Damn. So hard, bro.

[Joe Johnson]

That's when Hakeem was playing, huh?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

to leaking stories about the Eagles to the media to motivate the team. It was done purposely to give us a push. It gives us everything. Gives. It gives everything legs to push everyone to be better. I feel it like it was okay to do. Hey, hey, hey, Eagle fan. How y' all feel about that? Because y' all feel. Everybody made stuff up. How y' all feel about that, Eagle fans? That the guy that was there that was leaking the story that people reporting on the stories. How y' all feel? Oh, let me guess. Y' all knew AJ was doing this because Ocho, you know what they do. Yo, that's what they do. Anytime somebody give a story. Oh, we knew that. I need. Hey, put a channel. Okay, let me put a channel right quick because I want to see how many Eagles fans are here that knew A.J. brown was leaving stories.

[Joe Johnson]

Listen, you. You never.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn. Hold on, hold on. Just a second, Joe. Just a second. Y' all ain't know that y' all do everything y' all do. The man was getting traded in October when you told me and Ocho, we created. We just trying to start stuff. Y' all just try to get clicks and like, hello, hey, Eagle fans. And I know y' all on here Ain't nobody saying nothing. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, he ain't. Don't do all that now. Don't do all that now. Don't do all that now. I want to know who knew that. Yeah, I hate Eagles. Whatever you want to say. I want to know y' all knew that. Because every time Ocho and I say something. Joe.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, we could tell, too. We know that he was gonna run the gold route on the left side. We. We know he running the override when he line up in the slot. Y' all knew everything that. Oo. And I was saying didn't never play the game and don't know a screen pass from a screenplay porch, but they knew. They knew. Damn. Ain't nobody knew this. Ain't nobody knew this.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm more concerned. Exactly what. What stories did he actually leak that he felt was going to help the team and push them to do better?

[Shannon Sharpe]

That. That the mere fact that it's a story that he admitted to doing, it don't matter. He could have said, you know what? We ain't got no pre wrap. We ain't had no Gatoraded practice. Yeah. The mere fact the man admitted it.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, it did it. Did it work?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't know, Joe. Ocho, I think I would have kept that one to myself. Some things better left unsaid. That's just me. Everybody do handle things differently, Joe. Everybody handles stuff differently, Ocho.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, hold on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Would.

[Joe Johnson]

It would have been for better context. What if the stories that he did leak. What if it was during the super bowl winning season?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't know when it. I don't think they didn't need no motivation. Oo. You got to realize how many games they won, boy, I think last year.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, them boy were cutting, boy.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, hey. Yeah, for me, after I'm done with the ex, bro, I ain't bringing her back up. I ain't talking about her.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Thank you, somebody. Hey, man, use today. Yeah, okay, great. I'm gonna say. I ain't gonna say no. I ain't got nothing negative to say. Yeah, that's just me. That's just. Hey, everybody don't operate like that, Joe. Everybody don't operate like that, Ocho. I ain't got nothing to say negative about my exes. Hey, it didn't work for us. She might be perfect for you.

[Joe Johnson]

Hello.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hello.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So ain't no sense in me salting her up. Ain't no sense in me saying, whatever she did, she did. He's happy. I'm happy, bro. Great.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm like you, Joe. I. What you want me to say? What was she like? I don't know. I mean, you dating. You'll find it. You tell me in a couple years.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Like I did.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, exactly. Cause ain't nobody tell me nothing.

[Joe Johnson]

In a couple of years, you're gonna get that call, man. Why you ain't tell me? Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey. I had to. I had to learn the hard way. You're gonna learn the hard way too.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hello.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I figured you gonna find out sooner or later. Hey, should the new Patriots teammates be concerned hearing something like this? That.

[Joe Johnson]

No.

[Shannon Sharpe]

We got another miles turn on.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[Joe Johnson]

You're gonna be all right. He finna go over there and cut a fool, though. I heard Booty. Booty asked for a trade, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Amazon ain't got no balls coming. You got. You got AJ making that money. You got Romeo Dobbs, what you got?

[Joe Johnson]

Listen, I want to compete. I ain't go. I ain't worried about that. I don't care who you got.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You ain't compete. You ain't AJ make. AJ making 30 plus and Dobbs making 27 plus. Who you competing with?

[Joe Johnson]

You compete for 30 by this, you. Let's say you don't want to go play with. You don't want to play with the Patriots number right? They got they one and a two. Where you going that don't have already have a one and a two now think about that. There are 31 other teams.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, they might not have those one and twos.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, man, better make the most of that damn situation over there. It's ain't always green on the other side, bro.

[Joe Johnson]

Who you telling?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm looking at the landscape of the NFL right now. Every team has one or two. We gonna go to the Dolphins.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That.

[Joe Johnson]

That's. That's the only place I can think. We can go in there and. And. And have his presence will be felt

[Chad Ochocinco]

right away and be miserable.

[Joe Johnson]

That. That too. Because they in a three year rebuilding stage.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hell no.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Look, I'm gonna do it like this. I've never. Now AJ did what he did. We making. I'm making a joke of it. I don't condone what AJ did because I don't want people to say, well, nightcap, Ocho and Joe and Unc was condoning. I don't condone that. I'm not giving out any information about my team. Whatever transpired, be it a team, be it somebody blowing the play, somebody overslept, somebody got Fired, Somebody got injured. I ain't telling you ish. Don't ask me facts. So I don't want people. Because you know, you know, hey, it's something about Nightcap, Ocho and Joe. We get clipped more than anybody.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, that's one.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And without even. And without even. Without even listening at the context, because people just kill a snippet and then people comment. Did you hear what I said? Did you hear what Ocho said? Did you hear what Joe said? Or are you just commenting based on the comment that was in front of your comment? Yeah, I don't agree. I don't agree with. I didn't agree with his behavior. All I said and all I've ever said. Ocho. I just wish he'd have kept that public. You want to have a discussion with the head coach? Look, look, I need more balls. I need to be involved earlier. I need you guys to get me to Bob earlier. Give me the ball earlier. You got me late. That's all I've ever said. Have a conversation with Petula behind closed doors. Have a conversation with Hertz behind closed doors. I never want to show a teammate up, especially the quarterback. Quarterbacks have the biggest egos. They just do the best job of hiding it. They have the most fragile egos. They just do the best job of hiding it. I've been with. I've been with. I've been around too many of them, and I ain't telling what somebody told me. I'm telling you what I know. Most of them have been what? Coddled. They play that position. Ocho in high school, you get coddled. You're playing in college, you get coddled. You get to the NFL and all of a sudden you become really, really good. Hey, there's a reason why he wear a different jersey. He the only one that wears a different jersey than everybody else. You can't touch. I don't agree with what. I don't care what type of motivation or what you think he was doing. I don't agree with that. I don't. I think there's other ways that you could motivate your team without leaking stuff. That's just me. That's just me. Each his own. Everybody doesn't do things like Shannon. Shannon doesn't do things like everybody else. But I. I'm just old school like that. Ocho. I just think there. I just think there's a better. There was a better way to try to get the message, to try to get his team to play at another level.

[Joe Johnson]

I just think when it Comes to that message too, Uncle. You have to think he got that C on his chest too. He got the C on his chest so there's really no need for him to be able to leak anything to the media. Being that you're the captain, they gonna listen to you first, right? They gonna listen to you first.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Unless. And that's the problem that you have. See, OO and Joe, when you get that C on your chest, you, you gotta behave in a matter that's different. All that pouting and moping and complaining. Ocho, you can't do that because you want people to follow you. Your best players, you want people to follow. That's why. And you know they're watching. That's why you come on time. That's why you had meetings on time. That's why you practice a certain way. That's why you do film study. That's why you try. You're not going to be perfect. So I don't want people to think that I've ever said that I was perfect. I tried to, I tried to be always on time. I, I tried to play, I practiced hard, I played hard. And when I made mistakes, I made mistakes going 100 miles an hour. But I know people are watching me. I, I want people to say, man, I watched our sharp do certain things, man, that's kind of watch the guy come in as a seventh round draft pick playing special teams mainly and become an all decade player, become a multiple time Pro bowl player, become a multiple time all pro player and eventually wound up in the football heaven hall of fame. I, I, I love when people like, man, hey, give them advice, try to help them out. They bro, just do it. Do, if I was you, I would do it like this. You gonna do it your own way. But I'm just saying, I just think there's a better way that you could do certain things. Okay, Shop, I take that on advice. But I'm surprised. Oh, I ain't gonna lie, man. I ain't never heard anything like this. Ojo. I'm not saying that it hadn't happened before, Joe. Cause it has, because I believe it has. But I don't think anybody would have ever admitted to that, Ocho.

[Joe Johnson]

I mean, you listen, I'm with you when you're right that, hold on, how

[Shannon Sharpe]

you go, this is, this is a classic example. You get with a new girl. Man, I've been cheating on the old one the whole time. The whole time. But I'll be going, hey, I've been going out. What?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, that's hey, Chat, y' all do what y' all want to do with that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, hey, A.J. sicker, bro. I I Hey, I I But, but, but, but. Dead serious though. I wouldn't be talking, I wouldn't be talking about the X team, bro. Move on. You got a fresh start. Just be great in that fresh start.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Everybody happy. Sports Illustrated released their best offensive triplets for 2026 quarter quarterback, one running back, one wide receiver, one tight end. The Chargers are in 10 spot. They got Justin Herbert, Omarion, Hampton, Lad Monkey. So you get a wide receiver or tight end. It can be one or the other. It cannot be both. In the eighth spot, you got Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Devonte Smith, the 49ers. You got Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle. The Chiefs are in the seventh spot because you have Travis Kelsey, Patrick Mahomes, Kenneth Walker iii. The Bengals are in the same spot. Joe Burrow, Chase Brown, Jamar Chase. The the Cowboys in the fifth spot. Dak Prescott, Javante Williams, Ceedee Lamb. The Bills are in the four spot. Josh Allen, James Cook, D.J. moore. The Ravens are in the three spot. L, Jack D. Henry, Zay Flowers. The Rams. Excuse me. The Lions are in the two spot. They got Jerry Goff. Somebody spelled golf wrong, but that's never here nor there. Jamir Gibbs, Almond Raw, St. Brown. And the Rams are in the one spot. Matthew Stafford, Kyron Williams. Okay, Joe Ocho. You hate it. Love it. Let the chat know. What did they get right, what did they get wrong?

[Joe Johnson]

The players that haven't played together belong a little higher. The deck. Deck in CD and Javante. Yeah, they should be a little higher because they got Kenneth Walker. They got Kenneth Walker is. It's two, it's two of them. I can't remember exactly.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Kenneth Walker, Patrick Holmes are in the seventh spot. So you got Patrick Mahomes, Kenneth Walker and Travis Kelsey. They're number seven. The fifth are Cowboys with Dak Prescott, Javonte Williams, who is four Josh Allen, James Cook, DJ Moore.

[Joe Johnson]

DJ Moore hadn't even played there yet.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Nope.

[Joe Johnson]

So I, I rather.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But I guess they're saying James Cook is substantially upgrade over Javante Williams. And they got Dak Prescott as a better Prescott.

[Chad Ochocinco]

How many yards Cook had?

[Joe Johnson]

Oh, he bought last.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cook had. He led the league of Russian. I think he had six.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Okay, I know Javante. Javante had about 1200 yards. He a thousand yard rush.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And then you got Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers. And then you had Jerry Goff, Jameer Gibbs, Almond Ross St. Brown. And then you got Matthew Stafford, Kyron Williams.

[Joe Johnson]

I can't argue with number one.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Number two.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What about Seattle?

[Chad Ochocinco]

They gave up their run game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You could just put any running back in there with. With jsn and what's complicated who's a running back? They gave up. They gave anybody. Me.

[Joe Johnson]

He's coming off an injury. What's his name? How you say his last name? I don't want to butcher. He coming off injury.

[Chad Ochocinco]

How they let him go. He was an mvp.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They weren't gonna pay him that kind of money.

[Joe Johnson]

What he wanted.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And it was because you got to realize I'm not playing a guy that kind of money to split the carries.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But damn, if it wasn't for him, Auger Ocho, they probably don't even win the damn Super Bowl.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, especially at the running back position. Unless you. Unless you. Christian McCaffrey. You know, I can

[Chad Ochocinco]

damn the running back then. Diminished for real, ain't it? Man, I remember that used to be half back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's making a comeback. It's making a comeback, though, Joe. But there was. There was a stretch there. The running back. They ain't want to pay a running back no damn money.

[Joe Johnson]

Gotta be special, though. Now making a comeback, but it's making a comeback for those that are actually special.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hold on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, y' all think. I think.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Y' all think the Jeremiah Love kids special.

[Joe Johnson]

Oh, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He got in that situation, that contract guaranteed. And so he got drafted third. What? Third overall. It is what it is.

[Joe Johnson]

He's special, though. He's special.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I just. It's just hard for me to see a guy just coming into the league that's never cared in NFL football, has never thrown, never caught one to make more than. Guys that's been doing this for a period of time. That's just me. Hey, it happens all the time. Because there are guys that come in into a new job and been making. Make more money as a new person on the job than somebody that's been there 10, 15, 20 years. So it is what it is. Yeah, it is what it is.

[Joe Johnson]

Timing. Timing. It's all about time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It is Joe Ocho. It is. Following a decision by an independent intercalactic. Interschalactic athletic appeals board administered by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Board of Directors convened in a special meeting on Tuesday to consider the matter involving the conclusion of the 2026 8Amen's track and field championship. The appeals board vacated the disqualification by the 4 by 400 relay after review and discussion. The North Carolina High School Associate Athletic association board of directors voted to declare Mallard Creek School and C.E. jordan as co champions of the 2026 8Amen's track and field state championship. The board also voted to recognize Mallard Creek High School and I guess it's saying how high school as co champions in the 4x4 meter relay. I agree with everything until the CO. I don't like the cold. I beat you now we got the same number of points. Oo we co champions. But I beat you in the race. So in other words, I don't want to take you out. And you guys celebrated. You guys were the champions. So I don't want to take that away. So I'm going to make y' all co champions. No, other than that.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, I don't like it. Yeah, I don't like it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But I'm not surprised because I almost got us disqualified doing the exact same. But I put the baton in the guy face. I wasn't in front of him. I pulled up beside him, Ocho. But it was my cousin, so I didn't think that county. It was my cousin, so I didn't think that county. Man, my coach. That's the madness. My coaching only two times. Coach Holly never been upset at me. I did something in practice. I did something in practice football. We was playing. I was linebacker, Ocho, and. And I hit. I. I made a tackle and I jumped up, said, yeah, graveyard baby. This graveyard. And he's like, yeah, you tackle like that in practice. I wish you tackle like that in the game, man. Something went all the way through me. I went in the cut huddle. I called 53 Red Dog. I said, I'm finna knock somebody out as a blitz. 53 Red Dog. Oh, ready? Break. Boy, they pulled.

[Joe Johnson]

You caught the guard.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I called the running.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah,

[Shannon Sharpe]

coach all say, sucker, you'll kill somebody like that. Go to the sideline. I told him. I say, the next person I hit, y' all gonna come get him. Go back and ask. It was 19. Ask him. Go back and ask Gimville High School. When I hit him, I ain't gonna call his name. I don't want to embarrass him. He probably got a wife. Kid probably got grandkids now. But he came and got it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You put that hat on him, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Did I? Oh, did I? I would like. Hey, I would like Reggie in a clump. Should I get.

Hello? Hello, this is Malcolm Glebel from Smart Talks with IBM. Today we're diving into a fascinating conversation with Stefano Pallard, head of fan development for Scuderia Ferrari hp.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Your pronunciation is. It's strongly American. It's more Scuderia Ferrari.

[Host/Interviewer]

I'm still working on rolling my R's, but what I was able to learn from Stefano was the importance of engaging the Tifosi, the Ferrari superfans in the digital age.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ferrari fans and super fans want to

[Joe Johnson]

be part of something, want to belong to something.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So they want to be part of

[Joe Johnson]

a community and ultimately they want to

[Shannon Sharpe]

be part of a winning team.

[Host/Interviewer]

You've got Ferrari, which has a long history, design history, and now you're interacting in a kind of digital space. I'm curious how you balance those two traditions.

[Shannon Sharpe]

When it comes to fan engagement, it's really digital technology. And digital channels, are they enabled to create a deeper connection with our fans?

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, yo, you too little to play linebacker, man?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man, look here. And then my cousin, I got a baton. Ocho Joe, four by eight. It was third leg, four by four. He probably had me about 15. About 15 meters.

[Joe Johnson]

You came and got him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I got that baton, the 4x4. I said, Cuz I'm coming. I just pacing. I just paced at three. At, at 300. No, probably about. At two at the two. I was about five yards behind him. Did I pass? I said, nah, I don't want to spend no extra energy. When we came out, we came out of the turret, we came out the cup curve. I said, I told you I'm the best sharp man. Coach hall came out that thing. Sucker. Don't you ever do that. You'll get us disqualified.

Them rules in track, strict, boy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But I was, I was dead ass wrong. But that was my, that was my. His granddad and my granddad were brothers. So he, he, Monty and Everett, they went To Reidsville. Me and my brother obviously went to Glenville. Yeah. Now once we graduated, I think like a couple years after we graduated, they merged the two schools. Had they done that when my brother and I and was in school, ain't no telling how many state championships we'd have in football, not basketball because we didn't have really big tall, really tall guys. But football and track, you, I mean you probably wouldn't be on a. There would be no freshmans on the relay teams. You'd probably have to wait till you a junior or senior to be on the relay teams. At least. At least. Oh, we had some guys that could run, but it was split up.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They know in football.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, you ain't start. Ain't no freshman starting.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, ain't nothing like going them track meets, boy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, dude, my brother probably would have been the only freshman that would have started because he started as a freshman at quarterback. But my brother ran like 10, 500 meters and they ran, they ran the veer so he got the edge. It was over.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, speaking of track, I got a question. We've been looking at all these, these, these, these track athletes in high school. You see the fast times running 98 and I'm confused. Noah Lyles ran a 98 today. So you trying to tell me. Yeah, these high schoolers would be able to keep up no allows. Even though he doesn't catch up to the field until them last 30 meters. Something ain't right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, what's happening Ocho, is that some of these times are win aided. They're getting a plus three, plus four, plus five mile an hour win. The only allowable. You only allow plus 2. So anything over plus 2 no allows. Ran that with a. I think he had an allowable win. But yeah, these times are getting fast. I mean Ocho, you just look at the times that, I mean the tracks, the spikes that they're using. You just saw Sawy just run a sub to. They had two guys go sub two hours in a marathon, 26.2 miles. Two guys and another guy run 210, 215.

[Chad Ochocinco]

The boys, them boys ain't running with that leather, man. Them boy got carbon fiber in their shoes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes. And they got these super fast mondo tracks now Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco]

It.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean with the tracks that they got now and the technology that they got now, usain boating is private. Usain boat probably gonna go nine, four.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, that's moving.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah. I mean I just saw a guy from South Africa just run a 46, 66 split 46, 60 split. He ran by La Cue to Bogo from Botswana. Botswana. And Tobogo, he ran 4303 when he and Rob Benjamin went head to head at the Paris Olympics. Oh, Joe, you remember that? That dude went by Tobogo like he was standing still. And Tobogo. And Tobogo is a, is a, is a, a low 44, maybe even a, a, a, a 43 in the open four. And he went by him like he was standing still. These guys different now, Ocho. These guys, I mean, these kids run Ocho. This girl, you see this 14 year old girl. Red 22s. Red 22, 72. Damn girls running 11, 115 at 13, 14 years old. All right, it's time to play a fade presented by prize picks.

[Joe Johnson]

And sticks. Grab your Twix.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, here we go.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, hey. Dylan Harper will have it more or less than five rebounds. More or less?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, I'm saying, I'm saying more, man. That little, that little joke will be doing everything, bro.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The one thing we talked about this last night, that guard, man, what? Vassell Harper, Castle.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They rebound, they gain rebound. You're absolutely right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm going more. Also, Jalen Brunson, more or less than 1.5. Made 3 points.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I ain't gonna lie to y'.

[Joe Johnson]

All.

[Chad Ochocinco]

It's hard to bid against Jalen Brunson now. I ain't gonna lie.

[Joe Johnson]

Okay.

[Chad Ochocinco]

There ain't nobody need you to chime in here. The boy, the boy been proved me wrong. All posters. I ain't gonna lie. I, I probably go more on. I think he can make two.

[Joe Johnson]

Yep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm going with you. Julian Champagne, he will have more than two and a half, made three baskets, more or less than two and a half.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I'm saying more. Champagne played great against the Knicks. I don't know if y' all know, but during the season this year, hell, he had a game. We had like 10, 11 threes against the Knicks and he, he been shooting. He been shooting the. Let off that thing. I'm gonna say more.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I agree. Landry Shammit will have at least seven and a half points. More or less.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Where it gets tricky.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, well, he has 16 the first game, Joe.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And it get tricky though, Ojo.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think gonna have that Joe, man, that joker, that joker doesn't make. He was 12 or 13 coming into the three point and I think he made what, he made three or five threes or three or six threes yesterday. So that man shooting 15, 15 or 21 from.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I know he's shooting so. So if I'm saying Antonio, I gotta eliminate some of these guys around Brunson and Cat. I can't. I. I can't. I can't let Shannon beat me. That's what I'm thinking. So I know they're gonna try to cut his water off. That's why I say it's tricky. What y' all thinking, man?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Y'. All.

[Chad Ochocinco]

We going more.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm going more. I think you. I think you're gonna have feet at

[Chad Ochocinco]

least eight, I bet. I'm gonna be damn sure count because I can't wait to get on here tomorrow.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Here it is. Jiu Jitsu. ISO just wanted to say congratulations. Arkansas born and raised.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yes, sir.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. All right. So what are some of the tips you you have for losing visceral belly fat? I'm 61257 and I'm very, very athletic. I'm in the gym five days a week. Please help.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, you got to do fasted cardio, bro. Fasted cardio meaning you. You. When you get your ass up in the morning, you need to do cardio first. Before you eat anything, drink it. Have your glass of water or a bottle of water, get right to it. Whether you walking on the treadmill, whether you bicycling, whether you running, whether you're doing hot yoga, I don't care what it is you do. But you need to do that on an empty stomach. Trust and believe. I promise you that works.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Bodies are made in the kitchen, not the gym. It's hard to out exercise a bad guy.

[Chad Ochocinco]

It is, bro. You can't. Hell, you can't out. You can't out exercise a bad diet. Okay, bro? So look, look, look. Once you hit that gym, get that work in, you go to eat you

[Shannon Sharpe]

150 to begin with. You hear this man talk about he get on he61.257. You would never be 257. They can inject you, you can get a BBL and all that other stuff. You ain't going to be no257. Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy. When ISO win the bet, which jersey you rocking, Dak or CD? You can go even old school and get Emmett to wear.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Which one you want? I'm gonna have them for you. Which One you want to wear? You want Roger Stall Back? You, you wanna. Damn, you wanna. You want Emma Smith? You want Prime? What you want?

[Joe Johnson]

You might want to tell him you ain't gonna lose.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I ain't gonna lose. Hey Joe, you know what Joe, look at this. Oh, I know you ain't never seen one of these. It's all Madden. Once upon a time, this was as important as an all pro man. Because if John man you play, you get this. You go ask any guy that got this. This is a. You remember Jerry Ball? Jerry Ball played with the Detroit Lions. He had a company called Icebox and he made these. So I wouldn't put up one of this. If you don't like this one, this is another one.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I like, I like that. I like that. What you mean you wouldn't have put a. What?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hold on, hold on.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey Ocho, he.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Or maybe you like the letterman jacket.

[Chad Ochocinco]

No, I like the other one. I like that leather, that black one.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Or, or this recently got put into the East West Shrine hall of Fame. This is the actual.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I like that one. I like that too. I like that too. Boy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And you know, I know you like.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I had to come over there and go shopping, boy,

[Shannon Sharpe]

so I just said, you know, like I said, Ocho, I don't know if you ever played in front of John Madden, but Madden used to have to see you play in order to get that. And they used to get these trophies. Man, that trophy was so damn heavy. My brother got. My brother was all pro. My John man loved my brother. One of the few guys that had his sleeves up in Green Bay anytime. And I remember the first time I made it, I think it was 94. And then I made it 96, 97, 98. And then I went went to the Ravens. I made it in 2000. So I was a five time all Madden. But it was as important. It was more important than Pro Bowl. You would much rather make all man than make a Pro Bowl. Much much rather make all make John man team because John man was the end all when John man had passed some roll like Lord, first of all you name of the week. Yeah, you know, hey you, you gave it a week and he come that Shannon Sharp could play it any arrow. Oh man.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, hey, it's. Hey, it's kind of like Dick Vital talking about you when you in college ain't a man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, yes.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah,

[Shannon Sharpe]

so I'm just saying Joe, whatever, whatever you want. I mean I got the Kobe's, I got the stamps, I got the jackets, I got Shirts.

[Chad Ochocinco]

We're gonna take our time. We're gonna take. It's a long season. We got a long season ahead of us. Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Never gonna get it. Never gonna get it. Never gonna get it. Hey, you better go. Oh, you better go to Ocho to try. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no.

[Chad Ochocinco]

What's gonna happen is I'm gonna collect a little bit from both of y'.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All.

[Chad Ochocinco]

From both of y'.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

All.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm not gonna lose. I ain't really worried about that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

All right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I ain't either, Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Fox should take a billups tight role. Fox has proven to be clutch in the fourth quarter during his career. He just needs to manage the game and be the closer.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I agree. Because he gonna be there. The type of money he gonna be making the next some OD years, he gonna. He gonna be there. They're gonna have to figure that out. They gotta figure that out.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I gotta say, it's gonna be funny to watch Wimby, but, man, I'm excited to see this dude in the next Olympics also. Knicks in six. Grab you a Twix. Hello.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Come on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey. Oh, Wendy gonna try to. Man, do you know what they. Cause think about it. The US Team was on in Paris on trench soil and took the gold. You don't think France would like nothing more on American soil in 28 than to take that gold back? And we've won. And we've won the goal every year since we wanted 8, 12, 16, 20, and 20. 20. What? 21, 24. So we got five straight.

[Chad Ochocinco]

What you talking about?

[Shannon Sharpe]

They want that. Please tell me you saw Ocho nightcap sign on Waffle House. Will we ever get a segment where we meet the team as Jordan, etc for Q A? I mean, you probably see Jordan. You probably seen Jordan. Y' all probably seen. Ash didn't know what you was looking at, but Ash do not like the camera. Ash has always wanted to be behind the camera. So probably not Jordan. You guys have seen Jordan. You see Jordan all the time. Because everybody that sees me in the airport, you've never seen me. Probably 90 of the time, Jordan's gonna be with me because we're going somewhere to take. Yeah, and even when I come to Atlanta, that's the only thing, because, like, sometimes I come a day earlier and he comes a day later. But, like, when I'm going to LA or I'm going. Nah, you're gonna. You're gonna see Jordan. Big three. Here's a scenario. Y' all on vacay in the Maldives with y' all ladies on a day. A day party boat. Boat power goes out one mile from shore. Coast Guard is six hours away. What's y' all next move? See my black ass right there?

[Joe Johnson]

I'm hitting that water.

[Chad Ochocinco]

What you mean you hitting the water? To do what?

[Joe Johnson]

Shoot, Backstroke, Slow stroke, back to shore. A mile out.

[Chad Ochocinco]

A mile out. Boy, they gonna find you floating with the fishes, homeboy.

[Joe Johnson]

We in the Maldives. Ain't nothing out there, man.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You ain't got that type of stamina, bro.

[Joe Johnson]

Yo, you had. Ain't no current. Ain't nothing moving the water, just.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That's a mile, Ocho. A mile of swimming.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't think he realized how far. Miles. I'm sitting right there to the Coast Guard.

[Joe Johnson]

Listen, you can sit there for six hours.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I ain't got nothing to do. Hell, I've been on the boat probably longer than that.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm hitting that water, Joe.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, hey, I don't. I don't see that, Ojo.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, if. If I'm Michael Phelps, I might think about it.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm not about swimming. I ain't talking about swimming, man. You get. Get in there and just slow stroke that thing.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, man, please.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The last thing you want to do. Getting tired on land is one thing. Getting tired in the water and is something different. Cause your black ass can't stand up.

[Chad Ochocinco]

What do you mean?

[Joe Johnson]

Got relaxed.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You gonna leave Cambodia? You gonna leave Cambodia on the boat?

[Joe Johnson]

Relax. She know how to swim.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, look here. I know Cambodia might be surrounded by water, but she ain't swimming no mile.

[Joe Johnson]

It's nice and calm now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm good. I'mma read to the. I'm. Wait till the coast guard. I ain't got.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Wait until.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, Joe, you've been at. You've been out into the Maldives.

[Chad Ochocinco]

No, I ain't been out there.

[Joe Johnson]

Well, you know, you're in the middle of nowhere, huh?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Yes.

[Joe Johnson]

Nowhere, man. I had. I had to stay out there, man. I was. Six days. I stayed at the underwater. The underwater villa? Yeah, yeah, the villa. Obviously, I forgot the name of it, but, you know, you go to your room and you surrounded by the water. So you sleep in. The fishes swimming around, you know all that. Yeah, yeah, but listen, it was. It was a group and you know the fishing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ready to tell the homeboy, say, hey, that hut number three, they be getting prison all the time. The fish be telling your business. Hey.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, is. Is it mosquitoes out there?

[Joe Johnson]

N. Well, none of that, Joe. Yeah, I. I just know it's as far you land. You land out There. And you got to take a seaplane just to get to the. To the bungalows.

[Chad Ochocinco]

How far is that?

[Joe Johnson]

That's about another 30, 40 minute drive. I mean, plane ride and.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And I know to get to the Maldives. That's far.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What? Yeah. Hell yeah. 16 hours.

[Joe Johnson]

And I ain't doing it no more.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, you know, and when I get over there, I'm gonna put down a mean demonstration.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hello.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because I'm over there. A mean one, boy. Hey, mama gonna get a mean one.

[Joe Johnson]

Boy. That would. That would love the long flight. Boy. It was nice, though. The food, you know, just the. The aesthetics, man. It was very nice. Very nice.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, I'm just saying, hey, like 16 hours. He's gonna be 16 hours. You know what going on, mama. So just so. Yay. Just so we clear. And new, man. Welcome to the team. I so I love seeing brothers climbs to different heights. Can't nobody make me hate unk. That's a good man. Thank you, bro. I appreciate it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I appreciate that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I am so excited about Joe. Obviously, Ocho and I've been at this thing September be three years, and you know, hey, we found somebody. For the longest time, it was just gonna be me and Ocho, but, you

[Chad Ochocinco]

know, hey, hey, hey.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Joe coming on and just wanted to make sure y' all like, man, get Joe, guys. You might want something, but if somebody else don't want it, what? It doesn't make any sense.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right, right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Once. Once he was bought in, like, yeah, I want to be a part of this. It was a no brainer for us, but we just had to make sure that's something that he wanted, and we didn't want to force that. We didn't want to make him feel like, man, Joe, you got to take this opportunity because if you don't, we're gonna hire somebody else. No, we weren't. It was gonna be okay. No show. It was gonna be hunkin Ocho for the next year, the next year after. Because if Joe says, you know, hey, I kind of want to do the same role that I'm doing, you know, at X, Y and Z. But he's like, hey, I want to be a part of this. I want a.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Whatever you need, let me know. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So it was really a no brainer.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I appreciate it too. And I really want to thank the fans because they. They've been petitioned for this for so long, bro. You know what I mean? And I feel like if it wasn't for the fans, I don't know if this will happen, you know? After every episode that we've all taped and had, they kept at. They kept petitioning for me to be back on. So very appreciate, very appreciative and grateful for you guys. So thank you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah, and I think. I think once we did. We did the nightcap outside where we did all those events in New York, it was over after that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, I put down that main demonstration on y'. All. It was a rap. Not just keeping it 100, then we

[Shannon Sharpe]

got to keep it real, fella.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, Joe, you gotta chill.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Joe gotta chill.

[Joe Johnson]

You gotta chill.

[Shannon Sharpe]

We played 2K. My GM, just Kobe era 2002, man. I'm giving these boys that work with ISO and Al go check out this chat. Would y' all rather be blind or deaf?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Give me death, hell, yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

I gotta be, yeah. Can't see now.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I got the baby.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Sometimes when y' all be talking, would they be talking foolish? I pretend I can't hear now.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Say, hey, hey. Like my dad is saying, boy, I'm far from crazy, but I can play crazy. You know I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, I play crazy. Yeah, yeah, I know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And the thing you know, also, if you didn't see and you've been blind all your life, it's cool. But if you had your sight and lose it or if you've been deaf your whole life or had your hearing and lose it, I think that is different. Like, if you've never had sight, you don't really know what it's like to see. So you just. Everything. All the other senses are become heightened. Your sense of taste, your sense of smell, your hearing become the touch. Everything's become heightened to. To compensate. But, man, I mean, you got to be. Hit that ray charge. You have to feel them. Okay.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah. Little tiny, yeah. Oo, Getting Molly walk for free. King ISO, please give the people what they want. Oh, drooling.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Only you already know it. Y' all already know it. Y' all already know how I'm doing.

[Joe Johnson]

Joe gonna be in trouble because he don't understand. You know, after being there with all these. All these boys that do it at the highest level. You feel me? The past eight years, you're gonna be like three or four steps behind.

[Chad Ochocinco]

[Chad Ochocinco]

If he do, he gonna have to take two, three of these, and they're gonna put him down. That's what I'm trying to think.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, I don't even got to get inside. I could fight. I could get him from distance to hit him when I want to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man, please. You crazy.

[Joe Johnson]

Every jab you throw, Joe, I'm gonna parry that and come on through there.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Man, I promise. You ain't. Oh, Joe.

Yeah, I mean, I. I heard reports. We know how that be until. Until the actual fighters say it's a go. And I saw him agree to it on Twitter. That's one thing, but it'd be so many different. So many players of people in.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I want to see him put the

[Chad Ochocinco]

name on the contract, though, boy. Oh, we

[Shannon Sharpe]

send Oak to get your 5,900 from Ocho. Yeah, I need to say, oh, here, give me 4,000.

[Joe Johnson]

You gonna send who?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, hey, hey. I would say, oh. I would say, oh, give me 4,000, and Ocho owe me six. You can have it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, you ain't even got to say, oh, hell, just send me. I don't think I'll do the same damn thing.

[Joe Johnson]

No, you ain't, Joe.

[Shannon Sharpe]

When Kohler, global design leader in luxurious kitchen and bath products, asked me to be their ambassador for timeless, elegant, durable cast iron, I said, I'm in. Soon after, I was in their Kohler Wisconsin foundry watching molten iron, poured, enamel applied by hand and the beautiful finished pieces ready to ship. Since 1883, Kohler cast iron has been crafted by incredible artisans and seeing it firsthand gave me a whole new appreciation for their craftsmanship. Now I am proud to lend my stamp of approval to my favorite Kohler cast iron products for their durability, beauty and enduring style.
