BIG3 Weekend Recap (02:48–10:04)

Dallas Power’s Dominance & Player Highlights

• Dallas Power stays perfect:
  Dallas defeated DMV Trilogy 50–42, with Elijah Stewart exploding for 23 points and Greg Monroe securing 12 points and 7 rebounds.

  • “That Dallas power team...they probably gonna be there toward the end.” – Ochocinco (03:55)
  • Nancy Lieberman is credited as a strong coach; her son, TJ Klein, also gets a nod for hustle.

• Trilogy’s Struggles:

  • Stephen Jackson’s Trilogy (now 2–2) lacks a dependable third scorer to back up James Johnson and Earl Clark. Ocho emphasizes the need for balance:
    • “You need that third guy. See, if you ain’t got one guy who can get you 25 or 30...then you gonna need at least three guys to chip in.” – Ochocinco (04:38)

• Chicago Triplets Remain Unbeaten:
  A thrilling finish as Brandon Moss sinks the game-winner for the Triplets, capping a 24-point performance. Leandro Barbosa supports with a double-double (15pt, 11reb).

  • “Chicago, they a deep team too...and that Dallas power team, they look the best right now, right?” – Ochocinco (07:15)

• Other Notable Performances:

  • Houston Rig Hands edge Miami 305, behind Jonathan Simmons (19pts, 7 ast) and Isaiah Austin’s double-double.
  • LA Riots defeat the struggling Detroit Amps. Costa Kufos posts a flawless 20pt, 10reb game.
  • Ocho’s Detroit fandom is on full display, as he laments their 0–4 start but stays loyal.
    • “Hey, Detroit. With tears in my eyes, man, y’all hanging there, bro. That’s my squad.” – Ochocinco (09:17)

Themes & Memorable Moments

• The importance of roster depth and players with chips on their shoulders shines throughout.
• Big3’s “no clock” format means you have to keep scoring—no coasting allowed.
• The guys bond over stories from NBA/college dorm days, joking about landlines, girlfriends, and the grind (“Step out the pants and they stand up” – Ochocinco on his old-school ironed slacks, 20:12).

Real Talk: Juggling Multiple Baby Mamas (20:13–25:14)

Navigating Co-Parenting Complexities

• Listener Q: “How did you manage co-parenting with multiple women, especially when everyone is pulling you in all directions?”

  “Hell, I’m still managing.” (20:29)

  • “Everybody was on the same page. We understood this is for the betterment of the child...wasn't about nothing else but the child.” (20:37)
  • He feels fortunate never to have major conflict, emphasizing the backgrounds of his children’s mothers and mutual understanding about what it takes to succeed.

• Shannon’s Perspective:

  • Sharpe notes that in his experience, every situation is different—competition and jealousy can crop up, especially when success brings attention:
    • “Everybody still wants to be number one. Everybody wants to feel that their child is more special than the next...that's the hardest part.” (20:51)
    • “Sometimes they want to make it difficult because, a, they see you prospering or you in a situation and they're not a part of that.” (21:35)

• Wisdom & Warnings:

  • Sharpe shares his philosophy on financial disputes, cautioning against weaponizing the court system:
    • “Do you think...if you cost me my job...you think you're gonna get the same amount of money if I get a regular job?” (24:23)
    • The key is fairness: “I don’t want anything less, anything more. Just give me what I give y’.” (25:11)
  • Both stress the importance of handling business like adults, prioritizing the children, and not letting outside influences poison cooperation.

Nightcaps Big 3 is happy to have been partnered with the Big 3. We'll keep you up with the league all season long will be the number one destination for all game recaps and analysis all summer long. The Houston rig hands beat Miami 305, 50 to 47. Jonathan Simmons ran the show 1908 with 19 point on 8 or 12 shootings, 7 assists while Isaiah Austin quietly stacked a double double 12 points, 10 boards, 2 block to anchor the win. Miami got 23 from Beasley and 17 and 9 rebounds from Lance Stevenson, but couldn't close the 3 point gap they carried out of halftime. Both teams sit 1 and 3. The Dallas Power beat DMV Trilogy 50 to 42. Still perfect. The Dallas moved to 4 and oh behind 23 points from Elijah Stewart who who did his damage inside and out. Greg Monroe added a clean 12 and 7. DMV kept the game within reach on 16 points from James Johnson, 12 from Earl Clark. But Dallas led from start to finish and never let the margin tighten. Trilogy falls to 2 and 2. Dallas stays atop the standing with Chicago Joe.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, that Dallas, that Dallas power team. Yes, they, they, they probably gonna be there toward the end. Uncle, Uncle Ocho, I'm gonna tell y' all why. You know Nancy Lieberman, right? Yeah, I know unc Know who she is.

[Wilmer Valderrama]

Yes.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But her son, TJ Klein, he plays on the team too. All out hustle, all out dog, all out gorilla. Yeah, they have a bunch of guys who are. Who like even Elijah Stewart who came from the LA ride, they got rid of him. They didn't re sign him and he, he gave them that work this season already. They got guys who trying to prove themselves, bro. They four and oh, Greg Monroe holding it down in the paint. They gonna be hard to beat. Man, they running through. They running through cats.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah. Trilogy. That's. That's Stephen Jackson, right?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, it's. Hey, hey, hey, it's Stephen Jackson team. And when you look at it, James Johnson, new to the big three, he's been playing well. Earl Clark has been playing well. But you need that third, that third guy. See, if you ain't got one guy who can go out and get you 25 or 30 every, every weekend, hell, then you gonna need at least three guys to chip in and be able to really put in some work.

[Joe Johnson]

You somewhere 12, 15 then.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, if your boy were playing, like I tell you, I keep 30 in my back pocket. Hell yeah. Listen, If I got 30 in my back pocket out of my other three, four teammates hit them, they can't come up with 20 points. We don't deserve to win. You know what I'm saying? That's all I'm saying, man. That's all I'm saying. But it's, it's. It's good seeing these guys compete. I thought, who was that? Who, who else was that? That they had a good. Oh, the Boston ball halls and the Chicago triplets, you know, that kind of went into like a, like more time because it was 50, 50, 53, 51.

[Joe Johnson]

Cause you gotta win by two, right?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, you gotta win by two. So, man, the bump been good, bro. Them dudes out there competing, it's hard for me to watch. Uncle Oo. I ain't gonna lie to y', all, boy.

[Joe Johnson]

Joe, what's going on with Miami? Obviously, Beasley is doing what Beasley does. They got, I mean, think about it. They scored, Beasley got 23. Lance Stevenson had 17. So they had 40 of the 47. The other, like you said, the other three teammates, they got to come up with 10, 12.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, that championship hangover, huh? That championship hangover, they won it last year. And you, you know, now you the hunt it. You know what I mean? And, yeah, and now you got teams really looking to play out, really looking to defeat y'. All. Y' all to standard. Y' all got this target, this bullseye on your back, and it just ain't been. It's been unfortunate for them. And they lost their muscle, which in big Reggie Evans.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Who was, who played with him.

[Podcast Guest]

He, he.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He out for the season. I think he had like foot injury. So they don't really got that dog, that muscle no more than rebounds. Yeah, yeah, you need somebody to do that dirty work, boy.

[Joe Johnson]

Chicago triplets beat the Boston ball hogs. They still unbeaten. Brandon Moss ice himself bearing the game, winning three to cap a 24 point night. Four made triples. Leandro Barbosa filled the sheet. He was 15 and 11 boards as Chicago raced a halftime deficit with a 30 point second half. Joe, you got Jeremy Pargo match Moss 24 with 24 points for Boston. DeSean Stevenson force on the glass at 16 rebounds, 11 of them. Offensively. Chicago moves to four no level with Dallas atop the league Boston falls to two and two.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Chicago, they a deep team too. Montrell Harris didn't even play. He ain't even play this week. And last week, hell, I think he had 30 something, you know what I'm saying?

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, he had 34 last week.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, they had 30, he had 34 last week. I like how Pargo's been playing with the Ball Hogs. He's gonna have to put up. He gonna need at least 25 a weekend just for him to be able to compete. If ain't nobody else going to chip in and really give you points. That's the thing, so. But he got the talent. He can do it. He can do it. But yeah, Chicago, Chicago and that Dallas power team, they look the best right now, right?

[Joe Johnson]

So the Houston Rig hands beat Miami 305, 50 to 47. Jonathan Simmons, he had 19 point, he was eight or 12 shooting, seven assists. Isaiah Austin had a double double with 10 points, 12 points, 10 rebounds. Michael Beasley played a phenomenal, but it was not enough. He had 23. Lance Stevenson tripped in with 17 and nine, but it was not enough to beat the Houston Rig Hands. The power beat the DMV 50 to 42. Dallas is still undefeated on the season. 23 points from Elijah Stewart and Greg Monroe did Greg Monroe things 12 points, seven rebounds. And the triplets beat the ball hogs 53 49. Brandon Moss iced it himself bearing a game winning three to captain a 24 point night with four made triples. Leandro Barbosa did all he could. He had 15 and 11. And Chicago raced a halftime deficit with a 30 point second half. Yeah, Pargo for the Boston Ball hogs. Joe had 24. DeShawn Stevenson had 16 rebounds, 11 of them offensively. But it was just not enough to overcome the undefeated Chicago team.

[State Farm Hobby Speaker]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

The LA Riots are back to 500 after 5041 victory over the Detroit Amps. Costa Kufas put up another monster 20 points, 10 rebound, double double on 100 shooting. Kufa also had four blocks. Detroit falls to Owen four. Dante Deontay, Dante Green and Corey Brewer each had 12 points apiece but struggled from the field.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, Detroit. With tears in my eyes, man, y' all hanging there, bro. That's my squad.

[Joe Johnson]

Next year, you back.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Next year we gonna see if God and God's willing, okay?

[Joe Johnson]

God willing.

[Chad Ochocinco]

God's willing. You know, hey, hey, I. It's hard to see them boys, you know, struggle the way that they have because Dwight Howard didn't even play today. But that Kosa Kufus dude, he can go he played in the NBA for a little while.

[Joe Johnson]

He'll play. Yeah, I remember him.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, he can play. He can play. And it's. It's just hard because it's like, damn, Jordan didn't even play well. And it's like we lost by nine. How the hell that happened? But you got to be able to put up points in the big three, bro. That's the thing. You don't play. You don't against no clock.

[Co-host/Guest]

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, they stand up. That's how hard that crease was. Big three. How did you manage co parenting with multiple women? Especially when everyone is pulling you in all directions and you only one person trying to be the best father while being successful in your own profession?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hell, I'm still managing.

[Co-host/Guest]

Hey, I mean, I. I always like to say I got lucky.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, you did lucky.

[Co-host/Guest]

Every. Everybody was on one accord. Everybody was on the same page. We understood this is for the betterment of the child, you know, and it wasn't about nothing else but the child. And I. And I did it multiple times, and they had no problems, no issues ever.

[Joe Johnson]

Consider yourself lucky. Yeah, that was the biggest thing, is that, you know, look, even though you're not with them, everybody still wants to be number one. Everybody wants to feel that their child is more special than the next. And so, like, no, I love them all the same. I'm going to do all the same. And once you. Once we get. Once. That's the hardest part that I went through. Everybody's situation is different. Don't you say He. He didn't really have any issues. I don't know Joe's situation, but that was the biggest thing for me is like, okay, everybody's the same.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Everybody's the same.

[Joe Johnson]

Everybody's on a level playing field.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I'm still navigating through it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

It ain't. It's not easy because it's. It's easy. If they want to make it easy, sometimes they want to make it difficult because, a, they see you prospering or you in a situation, and they're not a part of that. They see, okay, yeah, I get X amount of dollars. But this thing could be so much better if I was in that situation with said individual.

[Chad Ochocinco]

There you go. Say it a little louder for the people.

[Joe Johnson]

That's what you had. That's what I. I had. Everybody's different. I. I don't know what he went through or what they went through it with that. I'm just telling you my situation. And it wasn't until we got. We had to have a car. I'm like, what are we doing here?

[Co-host/Guest]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

I said, do y' all think. Do y'.

[Home Depot Announcer]

All.

[Joe Johnson]

I mean, we go in here and we getting child modifications because everybody was, you know, talking so much. Oh, Shannon, this. Shannon has eight. This. These as like, these are Child modifications. But anyway, I say, do you think, does that. You think that make you look good? That we going back for child modification? Something that we could have, we could have handled outside of the court?

[Co-host/Guest]

Right?

[Joe Johnson]

I mean, I. I'm still. No matter what you think of me, I'm still the father.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm still that.

[Wilmer Valderrama]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Co-host/Guest]

Hey. Hey. Matter of fact, making things easy was. Was everybody's main objective. Yes, everybody's main objective. Understanding for one, protecting me. Two, protecting the brand and just one band, one sound and. And being able to have not one, but everyone on the same page and understanding. Well, if I got it, you always got it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Co-host/Guest]

Always be good. And nobody picked me unless it's an emergency and they know they're good for it. And I think that in itself alone, knowing that I'm gonna always be good and if. If I need him, he got me. If an emergency comes up, he got me. They're not out here trying to be crazy, living a lifestyle, looking rich, you know. You already know what I'm talking about.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Co-host/Guest]

Amen, dude. When I say lucky, but I also, I also dealt with those and procreated with those that come from my same background and understand how hard it was to get where I got to.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, well, I think the thing for you, Ocho, is that they didn't have. They didn't have people in the air. A lot of times you start getting people in the air, Joe, girl, you could do this. Girl, you should have that. Girl, he making all this and you see what his. You see what his old lady got? You should have that. Cuz she ain't got no kid from him. You, you got a kid from him, yada yada,

[Co-host/Guest]

that work for weak women that talk and those other. Those birds of a feather, especially those that chirp and say what you can and can't get. Nah, I didn't have kids in them type that's having ulterior motives when things don't go the way you want it to go.

[Joe Johnson]

The thing is, I just had. I said, okay, how about this year, let's just say for the sake of argument, you get your wish and you cost me my job. You think you're gonna get the same amount of money if I get a regular job?

[Co-host/Guest]

Absolutely. They don't think like that.

[Joe Johnson]

So to prove your point. So you could, you could see me be in a situation that, that I really shouldn't be in because I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. Just cause you're upset, you want to see me Lose my job, get a regular job. Then you don't get the money. Does that make sense to you guys? I don't bother y'.

[Wilmer Valderrama]

All.

[Joe Johnson]

I let y' all do what y' all do long. Hey, this who you want to be with? As long as he cheat, treat my kid good, I'm cool with it. All I ask is y' all give me the same grace that I give y'.

[Chad Ochocinco]

All.

[Joe Johnson]

I don't want anything less, anything more. Just give me what I give y'.

[Grainger Announcer]

All.

What you think I am trying to graduate. I am going to graduate, but I'm going to graduate while still trying to do what I'm here for. If that's play football at a high level and go to the NFL.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, I'm doing your homework. The question is, what are you doing? I'm doing your papers.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, they call you. They call you the next day, the next morning. I called you last night. What you was doing? Hell, I was sleep. Why is that not a good enough answer?

[Joe Johnson]

I'm sleep, Joe. We didn't have. We didn't have phones in our room, Joe. We had community phones. The phone ringing. Okay, I. Let's just say for the sake of argument, guys, I go answer the phone. What if it's not for me. Hey, Squirrel, Telephone. When that phone ringing. I don't care nothing about that phone ringing at that time of the night. Guess what? I know it ain't my grandma. I know it ain't my sister. I know it's not my brother, and I know it's not my mom. Not at that time of the night. So guess what? No, I ain't get. Well, the phone just rang.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, you know you had to pay for that, Joe. We didn't have it. I, I, Man, I had no money like that, Joe.

[Chad Ochocinco]

No, hey, well, I, it just came with the scholarship. By the time, by the time I became a sophomore, Uncle Ocho and I started getting rumblings about me going to the NBA, man, my damn dorm phone was off the hook. I'm talking about to the point where my girlfriend used to come when she used to come visit me because she had to stay in my dorm with me. I had to take it off the hook.

[Joe Johnson]

Unplug it at the wall, Joe.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, man, listen, I call hell behind that. Why you got your phone out there? Because if you plug it in, it's gonna be ringing every damn 10 minutes. Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

[Scotty B]

It's Scotty B from Elvis Durant on the morning show on Demand. And wondering what was your dog's first name? The answer popped right into your head, didn't it? Because he was that special. The way he lay by your crib when you were a baby or waited for you at the bus stop or cuddled with you on the couch. Or was it just that he was your best pal and and you loved him and he loved you. That's it. And what did the special dog that defined your childhood eat? Probably pedigree. For 40 years, families have been feeding their dogs Pedigree. It was good then and it's better now. Every bowl serves up 100% complete adult nutrition supporting six health essentials that bring out the good in your dog. That's the Pedigree goodness promise. And now Pedigree includes vitamin good bites. And it's just what it sounds like. Elevated levels of essential vitamins for a nutrient boost that your dog will love. Pedigree is just what it's always been. Really good dog food for really good dogs. Pedigree good then, better now.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, and them and them old school cats back then, boys had them big, rusted, thick hands.

[Home Depot Announcer]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You know what I mean? Boy, they put them. They put them hands on. They feel like leather. Hell, they.

[Joe Johnson]

They hit my grandfather dipped tar and he was a farmer, so he had big, thick ass, meaty hands. Heavy, heavy hand. Joe.

[Chad Ochocinco]

My grandpa worked on the railroad. He worked on the railroad

[Joe Johnson]

in the wood, dipping tar.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, man. Hey, hey, I told on him. Had to tell on him. But that's what I'm saying. That's why he, you know, he was my responsibility. They all were. If I got, If I did something like he said, they got in trouble. My aunts, my sister, my brother. Mostly it was my brother because he know my brother. He's. He's a boy. I'm gonna be around him. I'm gonna follow what he do. So he had to do, right?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, boy. I'll be crying. I'll be in the house and I'd be crying my grandfather in bedroom. Hey, what's wrong with that boy? Nothing. But, yeah, something wrong. Will it be crying? Hey, hey, Joe. To be there. You make me sick. I've been there with tears in my eyes about, man, they were sick of me, Joe. They were sick of me. Can you pass the microphone to Ash? I would love to ask if she knows what she saw in you that made her leap with you from Fox. I saw how hard she worked, and it's hard for women to break through in this business, especially on the producer side. She was young, right out of college. I mean, I think she had been there. I think she had got there a couple years before I got there. But I knew she had ideas. I was like, well, what? Why don't they let you do it? They're like, they're not gonna let me do it. She's like, I'm not a male. And so I'm like, okay. I said, you know what? If I ever get my own show. I wasn't looking to get a show. Looking to do my own thing. Hell, I was fine, kick my feet up. Hey, I ain't got to do no work. All I do is just, hey, Joe. I just show up. Hey. I show up at 4:30 in the morning, hey, get the rundown, go do my. Do what I do and leave. I wasn't looking to get no show. Yeah, but I said this. I said, if I ever got a show, I Said you could. You. You can produce it. You'd be the EP of it. And, you know, sometimes you just have to have confidence, have to have faith. I was. I think I was the first person to have confidence and have faith in her. We butt heads. We do. I mean, you know, she has an idea of how I think. How. How she thinks it should go. I have an idea of how I think it should go and how I would like it to go. For the most part, I was like, okay, you do it. Hey, just know if this is. Don't work, that's your ass. She's like, I know. I said, okay, okay. You. Hey, you. You want this person. Okay. And when it comes time, whatever. Hey. So I think I was really the first one to show her that I had confidence in her, that I believed in her, and I trusted her enough to let her. You know, I don't micromanage her. I let her do her job. She does an unbelievable job. She's an extremely. I think that was the biggest thing that I saw. She was an extremely, extremely hard worker, Joe. And there were things that we would go over at night, and then I would get my notes in the morning, and then I'm looking down at my notes, I'm like, we didn't talk about that. And then she'd have. I thought this would be a great finishing point.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Or start with this one and go like, okay, she's really on top of it. So it was. It was a. It was a no brainer for me. I love LeBron, but I don't think he's going to be a good fit for many teams. His best bet is Golden State, in my eyes, because he'll be a prom primary ball handler. Joe,

[Chad Ochocinco]

I understand, but I think Draymond is going to handle it, too. But he def. He definitely have ball handling duties. If we talking about him having ball handling dudes, Uncle Ocho, I can't really see no other place better than Miami, honestly. I mean, you got him. Giannis. Bam. I mean, he'll get a chance to facilitate. Yanis gonna average. Damn. 34, 32 points a game here. Brian coming down averaging 20 and 10. That'll be good enough. You know what I mean?

[Joe Johnson]

Like, so, bam, give you 19 and nine.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, 18 and 10, man. Listen, hey, I think that's a great spot. I just think it's. It's going to be challenging trying to go play in Philly with Maxi Edgecomb and JB Hell and Big Fella. Y' all know he a ball stopper. Mb And I think it's going to be challenging playing with Donovan and James Harden, you know what I mean? Like, because when James ain't got the ball, uncle Oo, he just kind of standing, you know what I mean? Like, he ain't really that engaged, you know what I mean? So we gonna see.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, Nightcap, fam. I entered the karate tournament today. After being away from my martial arts for seven years, I came in first place in my division. Thank you all for the love and support, man. Congratulations, bro. That's a long time to be away from something and come back and get first place in it. So congratulations.

[Scotty B]

Congrats.

[Co-host/Guest]

Congrats.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, Ojo, who the best receiver on the show tonight? You or hall of Famer?

[Co-host/Guest]

To me, hall of Famer, man.

[Joe Johnson]

2018, value of the Lakers 3.3 billion. Braun comes in 2018-2026. The Lakers sold for 10 billion. If you think for one second didn't increase the value, you're crazy. Everybody knows that. Yeah, everybody knows that. They try to minimize it and try to make it what it, but everybody knows that they were a bad team. They were in the lottery every year, getting the second pick in the draft, getting the third pick in the draft, getting top 10 pick, getting lottery picks every year. Everybody knows that. We don't have to rehash it, but you're absolutely right. What's up, Nightcap crew? I have loved to see LeBron play for an established head coach. He always got paired with first time coaches. That's. That's pretty much true.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Yeah. What are they talking about with first time coach this year?

[Joe Johnson]

They talking about like he never got an opportunity for Phil Jackson or a Greg Popovich. Some of these established coaches, you know, he got Ty Lou. He and Ty Lou turned out. Damn. That might be his best coach. Him and spoke. But you got to realize SPO was what, in his second year coaching? Yeah, Ty Lou, that. Excuse me. That was his first head job. He got Luke Walton.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, hey. That's a testament to Braun.

[Joe Johnson]

Darvin Ham.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

No disrespect, but come on now. He didn't get a Phil Jackson. He didn't get a Greg Papa. He didn't get a Steve Kerr.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He neither.

[Joe Johnson]

Those are. Those are sometimes. That's the hand you dealt.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

You got to play it rich. Paul can definitely sell some water. But if LeBron goes somewhere, no one expects, wherever Braun go, they'll get more TV time than the new Lakers. Luke AR not enough. ESPN will barely talk about them. 42. Braun still moves the needle. Absolutely yeah, everybody knows that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, yeah, everybody knows that wherever he go, they gonna add at least 25 more national. 25 more national televised.

[Joe Johnson]

Absolutely.

[Home Depot Announcer 2]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

[Co-host/Guest]

Okay.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah,

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, but everybody knows the Two best coaches LeBron had is Spo and Louis. Yeah. I mean, think about it. Pat Riley never had a coach like Pat Riley. I don't know if he'd want to play for old school guy like Pat, but.

[Podcast Guest]

I mean, that's. That's easy. Ain't nobody hunting with Ocho. Ocho don't know nothing about no guns, huh?

[Co-host/Guest]

I do. Hear me? I don't wanna. I don't want to talk about that lifestyle on here, man. That's in the past.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, y' all can't beat me catching chickens neither.

[Co-host/Guest]

Hey, hey, Joe, I used to joke

[Chad Ochocinco]

you talking about something that was 50 damn years ago when you were 8 years old, running around catching chicken. I got you ojo now.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah. Nine, nine, nine. So I was gonna be.

[Co-host/Guest]

Hold up.

[Joe Johnson]

My Grandfather died, so seventh grade. Eighth grade. Ninth grade. Yeah. Head into my tent. So four, like three and a half years. Yeah, you right.

[State Farm Hobby Speaker]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

77, 78, 79, 80. Yeah, about four years.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And Ocho ain't got no hands like that, so I know he can't. You know what I'm saying? He got the little bitty hand. He got the little wide receiver.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, you gotta pace yourself. You do realize you reaching down, you're getting three chickens in one hand. Three chickens in the other hand. So you pick it up. 1. You picking up a chicken by one of his legs. So you got three. So now you catch the chickens. You walk them out. Now, I think, now I think what they do is that they, they, they take the forklift in there and they got the coop stacked up. What we had to do is that we had to catch the chickens, walk them, take up, walk up, hand them to somebody, and then they take it from them and stack them.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

So it's a lot easier now than what it was. You know, they made everything easier. They got things. How they you roofing? They got the machine that'll take the, the shingles and stuff up there up to the top for you.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

No, you was the machine. Your black ass hard climbing that ladder. That was the machine. Hello, love, from Pakistan. Oh, man, thank you, guys.
