Joe Johnson
Allen Iverson is calling out modern NBA stars for load managing. This. This all hit different for me. Load management, they took me to the hell for allegedly not practicing. Now they cried about players not playing games. I played every. He said I played with every injury you can think of to the point they had to hide my jersey to keep me from playing. True story. Now we talking about the game. Not practice. Not practice. We're talking about the game. Don't cry now. What the baby gonna do?
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, look, I. I understand where AI is coming from. Hey, look, you talking to a guy who was iron man in the NBA for over a decade. Uncle Ocho, like, I. I thoroughly enjoy what I. What I was doing, and I thoroughly enjoyed the game and I never wanted to cheat the game. But I think we do have to take into consideration the way the game is being played today. Meaning it's a lot faster. The tempo is. Is more upbeat, more up, more, More. More pace. And you know, back when AI and T. Magnum was playing, the game wasn't played this fast, man. You know what I mean? Yeah, those dudes average 30 plus a night, but hell, they was the only one on their team who was doing that. They were. You weren't putting up about 85, 90 points, you know, 95 points a night.
Joe Johnson
It's just.
Chad Ochocinco
It's just totally different, man. These guys play as such a Helter Skelter pace and, you know, it's starting to hurt our stars as we can see, a lot of us. Look, look, man, can't nobody even make the 65 game threshold to even be, you know, in the conversation for any of these awards. You know what I mean? So it says a lot. I. I think the pace of the game has really, really has been upgraded to the point to where it's taking a load on a lot of these cats.
Ocho
So, Joe, what you think. You think the answer is? Obviously fixing the issue is. Is taking some of the games out because the pace is a little bit more upbeat now.
Joe Johnson
No. Yeah, because, you know, you play less games, you get less money, Ocho. Yeah, Yeah.
Ocho
I mean, I mean, yeah.
Joe Johnson
You giving up some of your money?
Ocho
No, but I'm just saying, how do you figure. How do you. How do you fix the problem? How do you fix the issue when you. When you start your.
Chad Ochocinco
Start your superstars, probably you're gonna have to train a lot harder. If you asking me meaning, like in the off season, you. You gonna have to be. You gonna. You can't take no month, two months off, bro. You kind of gotta stay consistent you know, whether it's just staying in shape, running things of that sort, because that's all it is, bro.
Joe Johnson
It's just.
Chad Ochocinco
It's the running part that. That's really killing Cats playing at this ultra high level, you know what I mean? Especially when we get in the postseason, you know, you can't take a playoff. You know, I know y'. All, we sit here almost every other night, man. I'll talk about, you know, playing the game of basketball is three and a half, four miles a game, bro. Can you imagine running four miles every other night? Every night, yeah.
Ocho
Up and down. Yeah.
Joe Johnson
You definitely have to condition your body. You have to condition your body to withstand that kind of. And that's what Ocho and I was talking about, is that we played the physical game. They were hitting, we were doing all those things. They didn't ask us to go from 0 to 100 just on Sundays. We had to crank it up during the week, week. And I don't know if they crank it up like what. Like what we did. And I'm not saying the guys are not tough or that it's a different game now. We understand that, but. And maybe, maybe it's because everything get covered. The NFL is covered so much different than it was when I played and when you played. OO and even when the beginning, when I first got into the league. But I don't remember guys getting injured like they get now. I don't remember it and I'm not saying that it didn't. So I. So, Chad, don't, don't, don't be. Don't beat me up too bad. I just don't remember. Did God have acl? Yes. Did I have Achilles? But not, not these non contact injuries. Not the injuries that we have that we see now.
Ocho
Look, look.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, I mean, definitely not to the side.
Chad Ochocinco
That's what I'm saying. It's happening to the stars, fellas. So that's. It lets you know that obviously they're playing a substantial amount of minutes. Obviously wear and tearing on their bodies to where they're breaking down. Yeah.
Ocho
I mean, Uncle Joe, you know, you know, my whole thing is obviously, for one, it's hard for me to even have, you know, input on conversations like this, being that I didn't have any injuries. But I. I always say, I know I play around with nutrition, but forget nutrition, you know, for this point. But I think people or players, regardless of what sports you. What sports you play, you have to learn to build a callus in the body. You have to the body has to get used to, you know, ramping up to a certain. To a certain amount, to a certain degree that you do on Sundays. Which is why when I did practice, I always practiced full speed as if it was a game.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah.
Ocho
You know, there was no relaxing. There was no, you know. You know, taking a play off. What? Hell, the funny part, I used to get cursed out and walk through because. Because I. Sometimes I would do walkthrough full speed. I mean, I wasn't doing it to be funny. I was doing it just so to continue to make sure my body stays acclimated and always at a high rate of speed at all times. And I. For. For some reason, I think it's those small things that I did that. That one of the reasons why I didn't. I didn't get hurt. And obviously, I played the same sport uncle did, Joe. A barbaric sport. I played very reckless, Joe. You know, cross the middle, you know, diving and hitting people. Even though I lost. Every time I tried to hit somebody, I lost every single one, Joe. But I still never got hurt. And I'm out there talking. Everybody trying to knock my head off. Everybody trying to kill me, Joe. But I still never got hurt.
Joe Johnson
You know, I mean, they call it walkthrough, but I was a brisk dog. It wasn't no walking. And it's like, hey, pick it up. I said. You said it's a walkthrough. Nah, that's just entitled. Ain't no walking.
Ocho
Right, right, right.
Joe Johnson
You know, and I say it was. Nobody walked but the mailman. That's why he don't make what you make, right? And they don't gave that joke. Mailman don't even walk no more.
Chad Ochocinco
Hold on, hold on.
Joe Johnson
You see the news?
Chad Ochocinco
I don't know about y', all, but here in Georgia, boy, they got some new mail trucks in.
Joe Johnson
In.
Chad Ochocinco
In the month, June and July. Them boys in ac.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Ocho
Hey, you see, they sit real low, right, Joe? They sit real low.
Chad Ochocinco
The mail truck is made different. It look almost futuristic now. Okay.
Joe Johnson
I ain't seen the mail truck. Yeah. Cause them all mail trucks, they had
Chad Ochocinco
a little slide door and had the.
Joe Johnson
What had the one seat in there, and the guy had the mail right there.
Ocho
He.
Joe Johnson
He pulled up there. To my own head, you go, hey. But he knew everybody. I mean, that's your. I was like, how you. How do you know everybody? He done sorted the mail before he went out there. He know the route that he gonna go. Hey, first the first box I stop off, he can put the mail right here. But, yeah, man, the mail. Them jokers, hey, they got on short, says you'd be sweating.
Chad Ochocinco
Have sweat all in their uniform. They having that now. O. Kelly.
Ocho
Hey, they.
Chad Ochocinco
They living good, boy.
Ocho
Yes, they be. They be clean now.
Joe Johnson
But, yeah, I look. And the thing is practice, see, I. I enjoy practice. Practice was really the opportunity. OO and Joe for me to really work on, because this guy that he sees me every day in practices, he knows all the little nuances on my routes. He know that little wiggle at the top. He know the little head, the head nod to the top, the three steps to the, like, nausea. And the thing is, I. I give credit. Ronnie Bradford, Derek Dodge, Tony Ven, they would always give me great feedback. Yes, they like, hey, they like, sharp. You got on your toes. I knew you was breaking because I would ask, I said, bro, how you. How you knew that route? He said, man, I saw you get on your toes at the top of it. So I just took a. I took. I know you breaking in or out, so I just took the. I took the thing upon myself to jump under it. Okay. So it kept me. Okay, make sure I stay off my toes. That I. I would. You know, BP would have it cut up. And so I look at like, damn, I gave it away. I gave it away. But I'm saying to myself, he don't know this. The guy that's in the game don't know this. But even. Even then, even though he don't know it, I'm trying to cut out because I don't want to give away no tendencies. Because we're Tennessee. Look, we study tendencies. We gonna get TV Copy. That's why they try to get the cadence of the quarterback. We trying to get that. We trying to get how you stagger your stance and jump off the ball. We're trying to get that. Whether you're dropping, whether you're coming, whether you're doing a TE or et, whatever the case may be, we're looking at all that. That's how. That's how the game has evolved. That's how the great player, they know, ah, we got a bird over here. Which means he about to fly. He about to cool. Yeah. He said, like, hey. Cause. And I had a thing was like. Because I didn't want grass to get on my thing because, you know, I had those attackified gloves and I was like, if it was. If it was a pass, I'm down like this here. If it's a run, I'm like this. Ah, sure. You don't think we know, but you know, don't worry about it. So I had, I had to pick. Sometimes you have to self scout yourself. But I agree with, I agree with AI. But I tell you what Joe, just think if that 65 games wasn't in place, how many more games would they have missed? Let's just say for the sake of argument, the 65 game isn't the cutoff. A lot of guys came back just to make the 65 cut off.
Ocho
Right.
Joe Johnson
You're right. So we have other guys like Wimby. When we gonna get that 20 minutes in the last three games? He ain't gonna miss that defensive player of the year. He's not gonna miss an all NBA because now that puts him in line for the supermax. Right?
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
Jokic ain't gonna miss no more game because now he's in line for a supermax. Ant man is gonna come back next year and do everything he can to make all the NBA because if he makes it now he's in line for a supermax. And guess what? In 2025, in 2027.
Chad Ochocinco
82 million Shay up again.
Joe Johnson
He just. Shade just signed four years 295 last summer this year. Yeah. He has it to the fact now.
Ocho
Hey, hey, that's, that's crazy too when I think about it, Joe. And, and I'm, I'm talking about the play, I'm talking about the top players, you know.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Ocho
You know, the, the Cades and, and the Wimbys and some of the players that, you know, that deserve supermax based on their value and what they bring to the team skill set and what they're able to do and the fact that. Well, if they miss this amount of games, that means we can't reward you for what your true value is. That, that's, that's in, in a sense that's messed up. It is. That's messed up. The fact they, they even agreed to that when. Listen, injuries is a part of sports. Injuries is a part of anything, any sport you play. And the fact that now they're, they're kind of punishing players where if you miss this many games or you don't play this many games, you know what? We're not going to reward you with what your true value is because your ass always hurt.
Joe Johnson
Yeah. And guys were just sitting out and see, here's the thing. How do you. That's their body. You don't know. They could be hurt. They could be telling the absolute truth. But Ocho, when I got a game on a Saturday night and it's supposed to be a big game, or I got a game on a Sunday and guys sitting down in the street clothes and they got the check. NBA said no, so don't worry about it. Yeah, we gonna.
Ocho
We're gonna fix this.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, the NBA Pa Signed off on it. They couldn't have done. They couldn't have done anything. This has to be. This is collective.
Chad Ochocinco
You're right. You're right. Huh? You're right.
Joe Johnson
See, the player signed off on it, and then it's like, oh, I got buyer's remorse. Because this is really. Hey, this is really. This really hurting me. Damn.
Chad Ochocinco
It's hurting the game, bro.
Joe Johnson
It is.
Chad Ochocinco
I, I, I don't think I, I don't think I've ever seen a year to where we've had this many of our stars out.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
Or, you know, missed. Missed a significant amount of time. I don't think I've ever seen it, man. I'm telling you, for real, I think this is probably historic this year. Seriously.
Joe Johnson
Yeah. And, and the guys are getting bigger, str. Bigger, stronger, and faster, so they're gonna have to get. They're gonna have to get themselves in better condition.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah, they do, man.
Joe Johnson
They do.
Ocho
Hey, Joe, you been in the gym yet?
Chad Ochocinco
Come on, man. Come on. Stay in the gym, baby. What's up?
Ocho
I'm talking about, like, you know, getting
Chad Ochocinco
those shots, working on your lateral footage when I go tomorrow.
Ocho
Nah. Hey, hey, hey, Joe. Hey, I gotta, I gotta show these shoes I got just for you, Joe, and I. I got them literally just to play you, to make sure you got. Hey, Joe, you. Hey, hey, hold on, hold on. I don't want to leave.
Chad Ochocinco
Okay,
Ocho
let me know. Let me make a call and, and tell them to bring my shoes. Hold on.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, hey, look. Oh, I'm gonna tell his ass. Cat, raggedy. He don't even know it.
Ocho
Hey, Joe, I promise you one thing. Joe, I promise you one thing. The way you think and you talk like you finna drag me on my mama.
Chad Ochocinco
Don't. Don't bring your mom in this. Don't, don't, don't do that.
Ocho
I'm gonna tell you, Joe. I'm telling you how it's gonna be. Joe. I know you wanted the grade and. Joe, I just studied you. Oh, Joe, I. Hey, hold on. I. I made a dv. I made a DVD in there, right? I made a DVD in there. I have all, all your, all your, all your, all your clips, right? Your best moves. So I've been watching your tendencies. What the Move you like to do. Hey. One, two. And come back to the left and pull up. I. Joe, I've been watching it. Joe, I've been watching. No, you, you laughing. I'm serious. Tell me I'm lying. Dribble twice to the right, come back, cross over with the left and pull up right away.
Chad Ochocinco
Tell me, I'm like, who raised dude, man?
Joe Johnson
Okay, for real, for real.
Chad Ochocinco
Who raised this dude?
Ocho
For real, Joe, I got. Hey, I got the whole breakdown, Joe, I'm ready.
Joe Johnson
You ready for it? Hold.
Ocho
Matter of fact, let me go get the shoes. Hold on, hold on, cuz.
Joe Johnson
She sleep. Hey, hey, Joe, did you watch LeBron tonight? Did you see how he came.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, boy, I'm playing. Wy man, did you see how he came on tonight?
Joe Johnson
Joe, that's what we've been looking for, man. Damn, they'll get. Get it. How you get it?
Chad Ochocinco
Look, the man, what he got 26, 8 and 11.
Joe Johnson
26, 11, 11 for 17. 11 or 17, 3 or 5. That's what I'm talking about.
Chad Ochocinco
But that's what I'm saying. If he gonna just assert himself early on, them rest of them dudes will catch up, man. The game will be easy for them too. You know what I mean? Like, you ain't necessarily gotta just come out and be Magic Johnson right off Dunk to where you just facilitating the whole first quarter, man. Damn all that. I need you to get to it.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, I mean, he like, you tried to break Scotty scouts assist record trying to get 31.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, you see.
Joe Johnson
Hey, hold up. We need. We need 35. Hey, hold up.
Chad Ochocinco
You see Brian there with 10 points, 4 for 7 from the field. You see Brian, I think, hey, look, I don't know about nobody else chat y. Y' all let me know what y' all think. But for me, when I watch the Lakers play, I love seeing Bronnie out there with LeBron for whatever reason, you know, I love seeing them run pick and roll together. I love to see Bron get assists off Bronnie. Bronnie get us like. Because I feel like this is so historic that it's happening in real time and a lot of people can't even appreciate it. But I can't even imagine being in the NBA, me and my son on the same team. Bro, that just sounds crazy. What's this you got, bro?
Joe Johnson
And LeBron don't look at him as his son. Cause LeBron, he gave LeBron that bad pass against Dallas. He's like, bro,
Chad Ochocinco
oh, what did it do?
Joe Johnson
He probably got home Savannah like, hey, don't you yell at my baby no more.
Ocho
Hey, hey. You know, it. Know, it's funny, all that cursing they do on the court, Joe. But you couldn't play with your son because the first time he cursed.
Chad Ochocinco
Oh, yeah. Oh, you got them Kyries, huh?
Ocho
Yeah, yeah. Kyrie. Kyrie said these to me. Hey, Kyrie be watching.
Chad Ochocinco
Let me see what they look like. Let us see what they look like.
Ocho
Hey, hey. Kyrie be watching the show, right? And he told me. He gave me his blessing to give Joe that work.
Chad Ochocinco
I'm gonna knock them damn tassels off them damn shoes, boy, when I get done with your ass.
Ocho
Hey, yeah, Joe.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah.
Ocho
Hey, that's what you. Hey, that's what you're gonna see. You're gonna see them tassels going right by your ass. That's what you're gonna see, huh?
Joe Johnson
Kyrie going back to his heritage.
Ocho
Hey, hey, hey, hey, Kyrie, I appreciate that, boy.
Joe Johnson
I love you.
Ocho
You hear me? I ain't gonna let you down. I g. Give Joe that work.
Chad Ochocinco
But what I'm hoping is they ain't going to be able to mess with what I got.
Joe Johnson
I ain't even going to show you.
Chad Ochocinco
You going to see them when? When you see me, partner? Yeah. That's how I roll.
Joe Johnson
Hey, hey.
Ocho
Okay, okay. Hey, man. Your mouth, Joe. Mind your mouth.
Joe Johnson
Now, Chad has finished as the number one seed his entire career in 20, 18, 19 and 20 and 21. At Mihaha Academy, he was the number one seed in the 2021 fever. Under 19 World Championship. Number one seed, Gonzaga. Number one seed, OKC, Oklahoma. C. OKC. Number one. Number one. Number one.
Chad Ochocinco
I told you what I told you on Ocho during the playoffs. I said the better check becomes the. The better OKC will be. And he will determine whether they be a dynasty or not. Because if he played great, it's going to be hard to beat him.
Joe Johnson
Look what he did yesterday.
Chad Ochocinco
Un oo. He had 30 and 14.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
Four blocks.
Chad Ochocinco
You know what I'm saying? So he rim protecting. Not only is he scoring, but he rim protecting. He making the game easy, you know, for the guys around him as well. I think his growth and maturity for OKC will determine how great of a team that they are. Yeah, we know Shay Gonna put up 30 plus. We know Jaylen. Jaylen. Jalen Williams gonna do his thing. But if Chick can play at a high level, man, they gonna be almost unbeatable. Fellas,
Joe Johnson
would you. Yeah, he. I mean, he. Look, they just got so many. They just come at You. And it's just gonna be. It's just gonna be hard for somebody to beat them unless they have. And. And the thing is, what are the likelihood of them having four bad nights?
Ocho
Not likely.
Joe Johnson
Four bad nights because they got guys that can shoot it. McCain was a great pickup, Caruso.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
What's the lefty?
Chad Ochocinco
What's the other little lefty who be balling a little light skin?
Joe Johnson
Oh, yeah, I know you're talking about. I can't think of his name, Joe.
Chad Ochocinco
Is his name Mitchell?
Joe Johnson
It might be. It might be, man. But Jerry McLean was a solid pickup because remember, he was playing really well in Philly before he got hurt.
Chad Ochocinco
Oh, yeah, yeah. No, no, no.
Ocho
He.
Chad Ochocinco
He was a great pickup. You know, a very underrated pickup. You know, a guy who is hungry, ready to prove himself. Obviously he pro. He feels slighted for what happened to him in Philly. So, you know, he's coming over there with.
Joe Johnson
With.
Chad Ochocinco
With, you know, with Avengers, bro.
Joe Johnson
He.
Chad Ochocinco
He looked good out there.
Joe Johnson
Check this out. Miles Garrett skipped the start of teams off season program. That puts him on Track to lose $1 million in 2026. Compensation Garrett Contracts includes a $1 million workout bonus in 2026. To earn it, Garrett must participate.
Chad Ochocinco
I can't hear you. We can't hear you. Hey, what's happening? What's up?
Ocho
Hey, Joe, Man, Miles ain't. Miles ain't tripping about that, man.
Chad Ochocinco
Please. A million. What you mean he ain't tripping?
Ocho
But we talking about Miles Garrett. Boy, he's not there for a reason, huh? Sometimes. Sometimes the message is clear. The met the message.
Chad Ochocinco
What's the message?
Ocho
Ojo, man, he don't want to be there, man. Come on, now. Come on now. He don't want to be there.
Chad Ochocinco
So you think that's why he ain't showing up for the. For the. For the many camps?
Ocho
Yeah. He never missed before. It's OTAs. It's obviously. OTAs is voluntary. It's in your contract. You don't have to come. But if you don't come, obviously you miss money. He never. He ain't never missed before.
Chad Ochocinco
I'm sure.
Ocho
I. You know, don't quote me. I'm just saying, why would they make it a story? Now, if he's always been there. If he's always been there, he's not showing. This here, you're not sure?
Chad Ochocinco
Hell, he got his money, Ocho. He took the money. If he didn't want to be there, he shouldn't have took the money. He took the money.
Ocho
Come on, Joe.
Chad Ochocinco
I mean, we got it.
Joe Johnson
You guys hear me?
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah, we hear you.
Joe Johnson
Oh, but here's the thing though, Ocho. What do they have? What is, what's different?
Ocho
Coaches.
Joe Johnson
A new coach.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
A new system.
Ocho
Yes, sir.
Joe Johnson
Remember we had this car, the same thing with Lamar. We had this conversation about Lamar, new system. So. And look, I'm like, Joe, if they'd had a million dollars in my contract. But like I said, he was trying to give me 50 a day. I said, the hell with you. I said, I worked my last 50 a day job when I was in, when I was landscaping back in college. I say no more 50 a day for me.
Ocho
But I got a quick. I got a question for you. And think about this. Someone like Miles Garrett, you know. Yes. As well as he played last year, as well as he played in general, someone like that, that is as valuable as they are, who is the identity, not just that defense, but the identity to that franchise. They still won what, five games, four games or what, whatever it may have
Joe Johnson
been five and 12.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah.
Ocho
Joe, why not give him the opportunity to go somewhere else and give him a chance to win?
Joe Johnson
Why?
Ocho
Why not? Because you losing with probably the greatest defense in that's playing in today's game. Why not give them opportunity to do that?
Chad Ochocinco
Well, maybe they, and I think in
Ocho
the, the message to me, I mean, I mean, I, I don't know, maybe I'm, maybe I'm tripping chat, you can, you can let me know if I'm tripping. But to not show up to OTAs, which you've always have, and there's a new regime, new culture, staff, new defensive scheme, new officer scheme, everything being implemented in. And you don't show up. I mean, I mean the message has always been clear. He doesn't have to come out and say it. You're actually, your action can show. Okay, it's enough is enough. I might be wrong.
Joe Johnson
I kind of thought that like, okay, a new, like a lot of times, like with new coach, with a new coach come, you know, they can have three minute camps. You get in, you want to, you know, show your face as a leader. You want to learn the defense and plus a million dollars, I pick up a million dollars while I'm doing that. But I mean, it been tough for me because when I'm there, I'm there. I really, I really didn't like, go home like, like, you know, off weeks and stuff like that. Like, you know, some guys like, we get off and we wouldn't have to be back until Wednesday and some Guys would go wherever they go. I was never like that. So when I was there, endeavor, I was there. Once I left, I, I was trying to be back until I absolutely had positively had to be back.
Ocho
Yeah, I a. I ain't do that. I ain't do that. Joe. We had. Our offseason program was 13 weeks. It was Monday through Thursday, Friday, Friday through Sunday, was off. Nine times out of 10 that Friday, Friday through Sunday, I'm going back to Miami. And I would always, I always do the, the morning work on a Thursday, and I get on the flight Thursday evening, fly to Miami, relax here, don't do anything. Probably do some training as well. Relax Thursday, then back on the plane Sunday night, and then repeat. It was a 13, 13 week program. It was fun. I really enjoyed it because I'm, I'm a gym rat. Yeah, Joe. Hell, I can't stay out of the gym. I can't stay out the gym now. And I don't play nothing. So you could imagine back then when I was playing. So I was excited to go to the offseason off season program and just, you know, see the fellas. Man, it was cool to see the fellas.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey,
Joe Johnson
I, I remember my rookie early on, because Dan, that was a big thing for Dan. Yeah, you had to be there. I was like, man, I sure hope I can get good enough one day. I don't have to come to this. As soon as I got good enough, I ain't had to come in.
Chad Ochocinco
Oh, yeah.
Joe Johnson
Hey, you one of our leaders. I'm leaving from Atlanta. That's what I'm leaving from. I'm leaving for Atlanta. No, no, no, no, no, no. Y' all not pay. Y' all paying him to lead. He making the big bucks. Y' all ain't paying me to leave. I'll be in Atlanta. And besides. And then Mike just came to the realization, say, you know what? He's like, I remember in 96, I didn't come, I didn't come. I didn't come back. I didn't do no offseason program. And he was like, we was out there practice. He said, let me see what you're looking like. So I pulled my shirt up. He like, you ain't never got to worry about coming back.
Chad Ochocinco
Obviously, you had nothing. Your stomach, oh, what?
Joe Johnson
Joe Shredded like a Trump tax return.
Ocho
Hey, Joe. That's what I look like now, Joe.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, well, hey, bad that way. That boy waist look like a email. It's gone, disappeared like that. Yeah, yeah, but I, I, I'm like, I'm like Joe, though. Ocho, you know damn well if the Bengals put a million dollars. Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
No matter how much you.
Joe Johnson
You ain't letting that go.
Ocho
Hey, my. Mine was only 250. And I was 4 million.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Ocho
Oh. I mean, I'm there. I'm there. And you know. You know what's funny, too? When it comes to my craft in general, you don't have to incentivize for me because I. I love what I do. I love working, I love training. I just. I love being in that environment. But just the fact that to be there. You mean you're gonna pay me this to be there?
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Ocho
And I already now already like to do it anyway. Well, hell, shoot.
Joe Johnson
No, no, no. But see, the thing is with that, I did away with the sentence in my contract after they screwed me out of that 100 grand, I ain't putting no more incentive.
Chad Ochocinco
What you mean how they screw you out 100 grand? What happened?
Joe Johnson
God, man, I was supposed to get a hundred thousand for a thousand yards. Joe. I had 995 yards at the half. I had 116 yards and two and ain't throw the ball on six catches and then catch another pass to stole the second half.
Ocho
Hey, they did that on purpose.
Joe Johnson
I know that's. And guess what? I ain't put another. Tell me you want to say I want nothing. Cause y'. All. Y' all gonna pay me what y' all supposed to pay me. And I'm supposed to lead the team and catch it. I'm supposed to lead the team in yards. I'm supposed to be an All Pro. I'm supposed to go to the Pro Bowl. I don't need y' all to incentivize that. Cause y' all paying me enough. That's what I'm supposed to do. I don't need no extra.
Ocho
Hey, Joe, they play that game.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah, I know. Hey, I ain't gonna lie, boy. That football cut, though.
Joe Johnson
That football.
Ocho
Hey, Joe, they play that game with a lot of people where you have incentives. You need a catches, you need certain yards. As a running back, they will play with you. If you're being on the field, a certain amount of snaps, all that stuff, they. They keep track of everything. They keep track of everything. And they will not let you hit it depending on who you are. And they do it on purpose every time. Like that. That, like that little chunk of change compared to what they have is gonna make a big difference.
Joe Johnson
Because you got to realize 100,000 was a lot of money to me because I was only making 325, right? A hundred thousand. Hey, that's not a little chunk of change.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah, right.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
And you know, I had. Hey, I had three. Yeah. Pampers. That got your boy. That got your boy about two, three years of Pampers right there. Hey, daycare, man. You know, daycare was expensive back then. I don't know what daycare is now, but I know it's expensive on your.
Ocho
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
Yes. I can only imagine.
Ocho
I mean, you. Hey, you gonna know what it's like soon.
Joe Johnson
And now Joe might. I don't know nothing.
Ocho
I thought we talked about this, fellas.
Joe Johnson
No, we. No, no. You and Joe.
Chad Ochocinco
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Ocho
Hey, hey, you know what? You know what? I just thought about. Think about this. Think about how other ethnicities, other races, they plan having their kids at the same time so they could do everything together. Can you imagine all us, you know, with our babies, pushing strollers at the park?
Chad Ochocinco
Nah, I can't imagine that. Nah.
Joe Johnson
Pretty soon, somebody push me, the baby me. That's gonna be my big ass in the chair. What the hell you talking about, man?
Ocho
Hey, it's a. It's a movie. It's a movie. It's a movie like that. I can't remember what movie it is. I think that would be dope, though. Like, that would be.
Joe Johnson
That's.
Ocho
That's a movie. That's a tv. Listen. That's a TV series in itself. You know, Nightcap, Joe, with the kids.
Joe Johnson
I'm already sitting in the third seat. I'm already sitting at the very back with the thing pulled down with my leg on top of it. I'm done, Ocho. I told you, I'm a practice. I will practice. I'm doing all I can, but I don't know to coach. Don't put me in. I don't know no plays.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, hey, hey. Your boy over here. I ain't doing nothing but shooting blanks, man. I cut the line over here. Yeah, over here, man.
Ocho
Oh, man. God ain't. God ain't gonna.
Chad Ochocinco
I'm already playing.
Joe Johnson
I ain't got no doggy water. Come on.
Ocho
But now. Come on, Joe, you ain't. You did that.
Chad Ochocinco
Joe, I told. I struck out. Oh, Joe.
Joe Johnson
I got three.
Chad Ochocinco
Three strikes, y', all, baby.
Ocho
But, Joe, you weren't supposed to cut the line. Because odd numbers is bad luck, Joe. It's in the Bible.
Chad Ochocinco
Ain't no bad luck. Your boy ain't doing nothing shooting blanks, man. That's all right.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
I'm like me and my lady we just practicing. We. We just.
Joe Johnson
That's it. That's it. Oh, Joe, I ain't got numbers pond water in me. This ain't strong at all. Damn, man, I can't believe they got no bubbles to it. This ain't no sparkling water. You know that, Opie, is. They say, what you want flat or sparkling? Give me flat, because that's all I got in the flat.
Ocho
Hey, man, y'.
Guest Caller

Chad Ochocinco
Hey, hey, hey, now, if you. I can reconnect it. I can reconnect the line now, but it's got to be worth it. Yeah. I mean.
Ocho
Oh, I'm talking to Netflix because they. They approached me about it. I said, listen, I'm gonna talk to the fellas and see what they want to do.
Joe Johnson
Oh, man, I ain't gonna hold y'. All.
Ocho
There we go, Joe.
Joe Johnson
There we go. Joe, I ain't gonna lie to you. I wish. I wish I could tell you something, but I ain't got it.
Ocho
I ain't gonna hold you, right? But because of who you are, because the value in which we possess, you know, they was talking. They were talking, you know, north of 400 million, huh? Boy, listen, I ain't telling you what I heard. I ain't telling what I heard.
Joe Johnson
I'm telling you what I know, Boy, look here.
Ocho
Hey,
Joe Johnson
I would have to take this sausage out of case. Come on, now. Hey, that's not a bread.
Ocho
Hey, hey, hey, listen, I'm just telling you. I'm just telling you what they told me. Now, it was a conversation in vague, you know, And. And. And I. I was vision, like I was giving him the play and the possibility of it happen. Happening. I'm like, man, that would be dope, because no one has ever had anything like that. Nobody. At the same time. You know, I'm just. It. It do wonder. It do nothing.
Joe Johnson
You know what? You know what, guys? I'll be honest with you.
Ocho
If we.
Joe Johnson
If I was close to y' all age, if I was in my mid-40s, I said, you know what, guys? Let's do it, man. I'm down to 60 years. Hey, and by the time. Hey, by the time that thing set in, you know, I have to.
Chad Ochocinco

Joe Johnson
I have to catch one when she just right about seven days afterwards. Catching just right. Probably about four or five times a day for like, three, four days, right?
Ocho
You good you good? That's where they got them roast balls.
Joe Johnson
I'm 76 years old, going to a high school graduation.
Ocho
What's wrong with that?
Joe Johnson
They talk about Luke Sterling because I would, I would name him after my brother. Little Sterling. Your granddaddy out here, that's my daddy, fool.
Ocho

Joe Johnson
Oo, yeah. Hey, mama. Changing two sets of diapers. His ain't mine. Hey, pick up some diapers for me or for him?

Hell no. It's about 20, 25K.
Joe Johnson
20, 25, 30,000.
Ocho
Man, don't, don't let them people rip you off. Come on, now that's a rip off. Now you have to go to multiple places and do the price comparisons. Like
Joe Johnson
they mess around and put a chicken egg in your girl in somebody backyard. You be like you being gay gave birth to a two pound hen. You better go. He better go to a regular. Hey, you be like the people that be suing. All of a sudden it's a white couple and they got a black baby or this Black couple, they got an Asian man. You better, you better go somewhere reputable. You talk about.
Chad Ochocinco
You trying to say go somebody backyard talk about man, please.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, they got. Hey, they got a chicken baster like they put gravy on the, on the turkey.
Ocho
Hey, that's, that's funny.
Joe Johnson
Ah, hell no. Oo I'm good man.
Ocho
I got you.
Joe Johnson
Jacksonville Jaguars expect Travis Hunter to be a full time corner and a part time receiver. Rappaport as Hunter is expected to be a full participant in training camp. As he continued to Recover from an LCL tear that ended his 2025 rookie season, Hunter snap count weighed heavily favor of the offensive side of the ball. Last year overall in 2025, Hunter saw 324 snaps on offense, 162 snaps on defense. So hold on Joe, what in Rappaport is reporting is what you and I have been saying. Yes, yes, go ahead, go ahead. Take it. Y' all want. Y' all take the conversation. I be one of them guys to say I told you so. Go ahead.
Ocho
Oo I mean Joe and, and, and obviously Travis, Travis, his dream was going to the NFL. He said it to multiple teams is I'm hoping to do exactly what I did at Colorado. I want to be able to play both sides of the ball and be able to impact the game on both sides of the ball. Unk said and I said as well and I agree with him, that would be too much because of the level of talent and elite players at same position. Think about it. Travis Hunter playing db, then having to cover Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, you know, and in some of the, some of the elite wide receivers in the league and then having to turn right back, back around on and go play on goddamn offense and play receiver and then still be a value and being very, very tactical and technical when it comes to playing a position. So at that point you could only be just good on both ends where you could just. We could focus on one one position and be great at defensive back, which you really good at, and then have packages to play on offense, which you can also be impactful. But they have special plays designed just for you to get the ball because with the ball in your hands well, you are special. Special. But a full time is perfect.
Joe Johnson
It says in the wake of Hun Hunter's injury last season, fans were calling the jag to choose just one position for Travis. Though we could see Hunter get some snaps at wide receiver in 2026. It looks like he will be dedicated a dedicated cornerback for the foreseeable future. That's what he said. It's easier oo, I mean, in order for this. And I didn't think, like, he's like, oh, I can do. I said 130 snaps a game.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
I said it's easier for him to play corner and build a couple of packages in Ocho. We got a couple of sets like they did for, like they did for some of the other guys, like they did for time. There have been other guys that played Charles Woodson. Yeah, Woody. Roy Green actually started off as a corner, got some plays at wide receiver, and then he was so good, they ended up moving the wide receiver and took him out of the corner. But go ahead, Joe.
Chad Ochocinco
I agree with Ocho.
Joe Johnson
I think, you know, him being a
Chad Ochocinco
db and then kind of similar. Similar what, Uncle? Just saying, like how the Cowboys use Dion. You know, he was a, he was a db, but they had a package in there for Dion for where, you know, you know, he, he would, he would be on offense from time to time. And I think that's the same way the Jaguars probably gonna use Travis Hunter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like you say, 130 something snaps a game. Hell, that's basically full time on both, on both sides. Right? And it takes a toll on you, bro, because you never get a rest.
Ocho
Nah.
Joe Johnson
No,
Ocho
no, no. I, I like it, I like it.
Joe Johnson
I like it, too.
Ocho
Jags are doing this so he can focus on one thing, focus on being the best defensive back he can be, depending on where they move them. Listen, and obviously, as great as you are, I hope you become not just a db, but a traveling db, a DB that follows the one man. Do that, you want, you want somebody hitting that payday up, hitting another payday, follow the number one on every team and then have small packages on offense and go impact the game that way.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, look, I understand, I understand what you guys are saying. Hell, y' all played the game at a very high level. But I love seeing Travis on offense, too. Boy got some hands. He electric when he catch the ball, you know what I mean? I feel like he's always a big play away. You feel what I'm saying? So I, I, I, I definitely hope they still keep him on offense, you know, from time to time. It ain't got to be, you know, every down, but for the most part, I want to see that electric side of him, too.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, of course. And I think the thing is, look, you got Parker Washington, you got Brian Thomas Jr. That, you know, had an off season, so you can plug him in defensively is where you're like, okay, we need a little help here. Guys that can get up to the court, get up to the quarterback. We could really use Trav. Like you said, Ocho travel, take care of it, because you got Nico Collins, and you got guys in that division vision that you'll have to. You're gonna have to deal with. Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
So
Ocho
I like it.
Joe Johnson
I like it. All right, it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A. Hopefully we still got the memo. Y' all, stop with the corny joke. Before we get to our super chat, we do got five video voicemail from our discord. Let's hear video number one. What's going on?
Chad Ochocinco
Y' all boys, man, I just want to say I relate to you, like, on a spiritual level, for real. Cause my folks, I grew up on my grandparents, you know what I'm saying? And they from Washington, Georgia, so it's damn near like we got the same grandparents. Like, when you say, you say, like, I felt that in my soul. You know what I'm saying? And then, Oto, I ain't gonna lie. Like I with you heavy. Like we rock with you heavy. But you know, Joe walk on water in Atlanta.
Joe Johnson
So you put your hands on that boy, you cannot come back to Atlanta no more.
Chad Ochocinco
I'm just playing, but, man, I love y' all show, man. I watch every day, you know what I'm saying? I wait. Keep it going, man. Love y' all boys. Ocho, I told you.
Joe Johnson
Appreciate that, man.
Chad Ochocinco
Don't play around me, O. Joe.
Ocho
Hey, you. You heard him say I'm just playing it then, too, because. Because it was. It gonna have to be two people on the hit list. He was gonna get this working, you know? But hey, hey, listen. Y' all gonna be a combo. Me, Y' all gonna be a 2 4.
Joe Johnson
Y' all gonna be.
Chad Ochocinco
I appreciate Buddy for even speaking up, but he ain't got to worry about nothing. You hear me? Yeah, don't even worry about nothing, playboy. I got him.
Ocho
Hey, hey, hey, Joe. Hey, Joe, man. Listen, man. Joe, I'm. I'm about this. I'm about this far off your ass, boy. You hear me? Hey, I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I'll tell you what you need to do. Hey, I'm gonna tell you now. Put a condom in your ear and with your herd. Cause you're gonna get your ass.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, joe.
Joe Johnson
Hey, y' all don't steal my stuff.
Ocho
Chat, don't chat. Don't steal my stuff.
Joe Johnson
Let's take a look at what he had to say.
Ocho
Oh, what up, though, Uncle ISO? Oh, your boy Jamar, the singer from Detroit. Hey, look, if y' all ever do sh. Shay media hall of Fame, you cannot tell me these are not gonna be first ballot inductees, right? Cat Williams, Coach Brown, Michelle and King ISO. Those are first ballot hall of fame Shae Shay media inductees. Damn.
Chad Ochocinco
Appreciate that, bro. Appreciate that. Hey, man, what. What can I say, man? Hey, hey, what can I say? You know,
Joe Johnson
food gazing. Who gazing?
Chad Ochocinco
You know, you know, I mean,
Joe Johnson
here's video number three. Let's take a listen. Ocho, ISO, Joe, this your boy Trey or in the chat. I'm beer gang268. Question for y' all tonight. Okay. With the NFL draft coming up, do y' all think we'll see any more of those gigantic trades, like the. Like the Herschel Walker trade from the Niners? I know that wasn't around the draft, but you know, that massive kind of trade, or the Ricky Williams trade, which was for the draft where they got rid of all their first round draft picks to pick him up. Do y' all think we'll ever see another. Another one of those big trades again in the NFL? Appreciate y'.
Ocho
All. Yes, absolutely.
Joe Johnson
Well, we got. Remember Trey. Trey Lance was a big trade.
Chad Ochocinco
Yep.
Ocho
I think. I think in comparison. In comparison to that Ricky. Ricky Williams trade where they gave up all those first round picks.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Ocho
I say. I say Miles Garrett is on the move.
Chad Ochocinco
I say.
Ocho
Now, I don't know if. I don't. I don't know if it probably won't happen draft day, But I think A.J. brown. A.J. brown will also be on the move after the June 1st. Is it June after. After June 1st. June. He would be. He would be on the move as well. Any other players. There aren't any other players right now. Where. Where. It's. Where the roads are rocky. That. That. That. It would make extreme headlines. Oh, my God. So and so just got traded. I mean, everyone else is probably set in stone. Maybe Dexter Jackson, Dector Jackson, who says he, you know, he wants to be traded.
Joe Johnson
Dexter Lawrence, you mean.
Ocho
Dexter Lawrence. I'm sorry, I'm thinking about D. Jack that played with me in Cincinnati and played for the Bucks. I'm tripping.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I. I look, I think the thing gives D. D. Lawrence, he don't have any more guaranteed money. Oh.
Ocho
He's trying to get a new contract.
Joe Johnson
He want more games.
Ocho
Maybe he's trying to pull. He trying to pull the. Miles Garrett do They value him the same way they. They value Miles Garrett, though, where that was.
Joe Johnson
Oh, it's hard when it's sacked. Total dip the way it did. I just can't.
Ocho
But I can't.
Joe Johnson
I can't.
Ocho
Ocho, he did D tackle.
Joe Johnson
I know, I know. Look at his numbers. Ochof. And you got Brian Burns, you got Thibodeau, you got Carter.
Ocho
They both had double digits.
Joe Johnson
Brian burns had like 17, 18 sacks. Yeah, I cannot. And I think Dexter is a phenomenal D tackle, but I cannot reward him coming off the season that he just had.
Ocho
Damn.
Joe Johnson
I can't. I just can't.
Ocho
I. I would think. I would think. I would think. In a sense, based on how well he's played, despite his dip in sack total, he still is.
Joe Johnson
I paid him. I compensated him. I made him the highest paid defensive tackle. I mean, close to the highest paid one time, right? I paid him. I paid him, Ocho. Now I'm paying on bus based on what I think you'll do. I can't pay you on what you're done because I've already paid you on
Ocho
that page for that. Oh, yeah, that's a good one.
Joe Johnson
That's a good one.
Ocho
Hey, you. You talking like a GM now.
Joe Johnson
I mean, look, I think we got. I got, look and, and, and, and got Burns. I don't know what they're gonna do with Thibod, though. I don't. I don't know what they're gonna. I mean, Abdul Carter, he's the third pick of the draft. He ain't going nowhere. I think Thibodeau was like the fifth or the sixth pick in the draft. You got Brian Burns, who's been unbelievable. Ocho.
Ocho
Yes, sir.
Joe Johnson
That man had a half a sack last year. So what do I pay for a half a sack, Joe? Ojo, hold on.
Chad Ochocinco
That's all he had for the year? Yes.
Ocho
Hey, Joe. He had D tackle.
Joe Johnson
Joe.
Ocho
He taking on a double team every game. Joe.
Joe Johnson
And the year before, he took on double teams, had eight and a half.
Ocho
Yeah. Hey, hey, Joe, it's hard for sex to, you know, hard for D tackle to come by sacks. I mean, that's why Aaron Donald was Aaron Donald. It's hard to do what Aaron Donald did, right, dealing with that double team every. You, you got two 300 pound people on you every play.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
Ocho. Ocho. He went from nine sacks to a half.
Ocho
Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you.
Joe Johnson
I can't. I can't. Boy, that's a. That's a horrible precedent. To sit, right? Because you know what's gonna happen? Guys are gonna have terrible years, and they don't have any more guaranteed money. They're gonna say, but you did it for Dexter.
Ocho
I like. I like. Where you going?
Joe Johnson
I can't. I can't.
Ocho
I got you.
Joe Johnson
He's gonna have to play. He gonna have to play for this one.
Ocho
Damn.
Joe Johnson
I mean, he. He went from seven and a half to four and a half to nine to a half a sack. I can't. I can't, Ocho. I'm sorry. Here's the fourth one. Let's take a listen.
Guest Caller
What's up, Unc? Ocho and Steel. King ISO, man, we don't even care about you losing, man. You still king, bro. All that stuff you. All that work you done put in on them boys, man. We ain't forget bowling, golf, and the free Frisbee game. We ain't forgetting that, man. You really what, three and one against them boys?
Chad Ochocinco
Right, Right.
Guest Caller
They ain't messing with you, right? But, man, you a cancer. I'm a cancer. You know, I'm gonna order some of that Laportier, man. I don't know where to get the cigars from Ocho from man, so I'm gonna have to beat him up to find out about it, I guess. Man, he'll never drop them in the chat or nothing. I'll never hear him say nothing about the cigars no more, man. What's up? I gotta put these paws on you or what, dog? Hey, I'm 5 11, 185, Ocho boy, I'll do it to you.
Ocho
5 11.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah, and you catch a straight from everybody, bro.
Ocho
Now, they made no straight. Them just from people that want their ass whooped. And actually, you know what he want? He want me to put these paws on him so he could take me to court. He think he's slick. A young bull. Sign this waiver so we can get this thing on. So you can see what he see what hella hands, you know, talking back.
Joe Johnson
Here's our last one, our fifth and final one. Let's take a listen. What up? What up, ISO? What up, Ocho? Man, I'm just 24 year old from Mississippi. Just salute what y' all got going on. I just want to ask a question. I really, really be on my mind a lot. And I'm a 24 year old, like I said, got two little boys. And it get hard out here. A lot like, it get real hard out here. I ain't gonna lie. Working a job, you really don't want to do, but you just trying to make ends meet. What's some advice you would give to me if you could. If you can give me advice, what advice would you give to me? Thank you, man. Work the job that you have until you can get to find a job that you want. Because like you said, you have other responsibilities other than yourself. Maybe if it was just you, you could like, you know what? I'm gonna kind of. I'm gonna kind of look for me a job that I really want to do. But in the meantime, you don't have that luxury because you have two other miles to feed. And I don't know if you have a girlfriend or wife or significant other. I don't know. But I just know that you said you have two little boys, and them two little boys are depending on you. So until you find something that you want to do or you like to do, you got to stay where you are and stay and stay grinding and. And that happens a lot. I mean, that's the whole thing of. Of eventually finding something that you love. Because there's nothing worse than being on a job that you don't want to go to. There's nothing worse than being in a relationship that you don't want to be in. Ocho, remember? I mean, the loneliest places to be, somewhere you're not wanting. But bro, don't give up the faith. Don't stop. Because like you said, you got two little boys that are depending on you, that are counting on you. So until you find something that you like and that you really love to do, just stay where you are. Just keep grinding. Hey, things are going to change. But hey, stick pray about it and start putting in applications. I don't know what you want to do. I wish you would have said that, you know, I'm doing X, but I really want to do Y. I wish you could have given us a little bit more information. Yeah, bro, you got to hang in there, man.
Chad Ochocinco
You got locked in. Big fellas.
Joe Johnson
Yes.
Ocho
Yeah, especially for the little ones. Boy, them little ones, Hell yeah. Whatever. Hey, some. Sometimes whatever you got to do for them to make sure they straight, you know, Like I'm saying, just lock in on X until Y comes about and comes into fruition. Then you'll be able to do what you love.
Chad Ochocinco
Ain't nothing like. Hey, it ain't nothing like putting a smile on them kids face, bro.
Ocho
Yeah, and it don't take much.
Chad Ochocinco
Don't.
Ocho

Joe Johnson
Aerodynamics513. Hey, Unc. I interviewed Vince Buck from Central State about his Senior bowl experience as an HBCU player. What was yours like and how did it shape you? I did not go. I actually. Me and VB I think I know. I. I know I went to the East West Shrine game with BB Because VB And I came out the same year. Vince Buck, I think. I'm trying to think, where did Vince go? Did he go to New Orleans? I know D.C. because me and Darian Gordon. Darian Gordon came out also, and he was from Jackson State. He was a coach. W.C. gordon. One of W.C. gordon's boys. I'm trying to think, but going to those bowl games and seeing those guys. I went to the Blue Gray game, which was in. On Christmas in Montgomery. In Montgomery, Alabama. And then I went to the East West Shrine. That was in Palo Alto. But to. To go up against those guys at the University of Miami. And Notre Dame and all those guys. I mean, I knew I belonged, but, you know, to be there and to be on the field and be able to compete against those guys, I was like, yeah, man, it was, it was, it was unbelievable experience. And it's, it's great for an HBCU guy to be there. And people think enough. Like, you know what, let's bring him up here and see. I know what he did against lower level competition, but let's see when we add competition if he's still willing to compete. Oh, I am. Let's see if they still willing to compete when they see they ain't never seen no 6, 2, 225 pound receipt. Yeah. Built like a, built like an African God. They ain't seen nothing like this here. The goat 20, 22, oh oo king ISO that Gucci man and pooh shy situation going to have, going to have ever been a situation where you signed a bad contract or felt someone slatted you and how did you react? Look, you signed a contract, you stuck. Yeah. That's why they get, that's why they don't do in the beginning. Yo, when they say word is bond, that's what they meant. A contract was a meeting of the minds. You agree? Okay, Joe, I tell you what. For a pig and a bushel of corn, I'm gonna trade you goat's milk, a cow's milk and some chicken. Okay, we had a contract. Okay, good. But that's, Guess what? Somebody got what they intended to get first, and the other guy reneged. And so they say, you know what? Now, verbal contracts can still be binding, but once you put your name on the dotted line.
Chad Ochocinco
It's rap.
Ocho
That's what it is.
Joe Johnson
Kind of hard. It's kind of, it's kind of hard to get up out of it.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, hey, like Gucci say what? Damn,
Joe Johnson
that's the truth, man.
Chad Ochocinco
Damn. What?
Joe Johnson
But I ain't going to jail.
Chad Ochocinco
Well, what, hey, not if I just got out. If I just got done doing four, five years,
Joe Johnson
I ain't going back. I like freedom too much. I like money. I like every, everything I, I, I don't, I'm, I'm trying to think. Unless they got a bed, unless you got 700, 800 million buried up under the jail somewhere, I ain't really trying to go. They ain't got no bad treasure, I heard. No buried treasure in no penalty entry, no jail or nothing. Ain't no Barry treasure, Ocho. I ain't trying to go there and see that man. Big Ant, what's going on, Nightcap, fam? In your guys's opinion, who's a better power dunker? Dominique or Sean Kemp? That's a good one. That is a very good one,
Chad Ochocinco
man. I think Power dang on live. Hey, look, Kim, Kim, a bad boy. He. He got some power, but Nick has some power, but neat. Oh, my God.
Joe Johnson
Yeah. I'm telling you, both of them. I mean, Dominique was double pumping back, was on people.
Chad Ochocinco
That man was windmilling. Two hand, I'm talking about. Come on, man. But Sean Kemp got some nasty ones too, though.
Joe Johnson
Oh, you remember he dunked on Kid.
Chad Ochocinco
Yo, Gatling, he cuffed that thing. He came through that thing like that. Yeah, that's how I come through on Ocho. Boom,
Ocho
Man. Man, I flip you. You think about dunking on me, man?
Chad Ochocinco
What you thought this was, boy?
Ocho
Hey, Joe. I flip you, man. By the time you jump, you're gonna be on your head, Joe.
Joe Johnson
Damn.
Ocho
Hey, Joe. I'm not one of them, Joe. I'm not one of your little NBA friends, Joe. Like, I play dirty, boy. You hear me, jailhouse? Hey, Ocho, your best bet is to have a referee, too.
Chad Ochocinco
I don't need that. Oh, I'm built for the now, you know? I mean, I'm built for that.
Ocho
Okay. Okay.
Joe Johnson
Yeah. Oh, we missed one. We missed one. I missed one. I gotta go back. Dr. Frank L. Bellam is like, how are you guys doing? Are you all taking care of yourselves? Are you getting enough rest?
Ocho

Chad Ochocinco
Okay, you don't have no problem sleeping on the plane.
Joe Johnson
I get it when I don't have
Chad Ochocinco
no problem sleeping on the plane, huh?
Joe Johnson
I do have. I could probably get like 10, 15 minutes. I can't sleep like Jordan before they even take off. You see Joy back there like, hey, hey, Jordan. That's me.
Chad Ochocinco
I'm telling you. Hey, look, the only thing wake me up is when we hit the ground too hard.
Joe Johnson
Damn.
Chad Ochocinco
What's going. Yeah, I'd be knocked out going to the airport.
Joe Johnson
Damn. So much for the conversation. We were supposed to have that joke. Hey, hey, that joke got narcolepsy. That joker sleep anywhere.
Ocho
Yeah, I sleep. I sleep good on the plane, too. But no matter how short. How long.
Chad Ochocinco
No matter how short or how long
Ocho
the flight. I said no matter how short. Come on, Joe. I said flight.
Joe Johnson
Daniel Wells, 4970. Big, big three. Question. How do you guys choose your game day accessory? Do you guys like to color coordinate gloves, cleat shoes, and elbow bands with the jersey? Nah, Hell no. I mean, they already picked that out. I mean, you got a home jersey. You. We didn't have all those jerseys that they got now, Ocho. We had a home jersey. We had a road jersey. Hey, that's it.
Chad Ochocinco
Home plants, not me. I ain't gonna lie to y'. All. I like that. When I get my ankles tape up and we wearing our red uniforms for the house, I want that red tape down, you know what I mean? They're coming up out my socks. Yeah, I want. I want that red tape down there. And we playing on the road. I want my. I want my. I want whatever. I'm getting my ankles taped. Whatever color jersey we wear. That's why. That's what color I want on my. On my. On my tape.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, yeah. Damn, Joe, you might be superstitious.
Chad Ochocinco
Maybe I just like to kind of color coordinate a little bit, you know? I mean.
Joe Johnson
No, on the road we were in white, and at home we were in orange or blue.
Ocho
Later.
Joe Johnson
Later we got, for the most part, white and orange or white and white or white on white.
Chad Ochocinco
Oh, so you ain't had nothing? You. You ain't had no. I know you had some accessories you.
Joe Johnson
They were catching else.
Guest Caller
Regardless.
Ocho
Hey, I. Hey, orange shoes, orange 10 strap, orange gloves, black shoes, black chin strap, black gloves. I. I just paid the fine joke.
Chad Ochocinco
How much was the fine?
Ocho
I mean, it went up every time. First offense, 5,000. Second offense fit, 15. No 10 second offense, third offense, probably went to 25. I didn't care, Joe. I just picked. I just picked and choose when to do it. I wore gold cleats depending on who we were playing.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, you know what? When you look at these guys now, especially in the NBA, they ain't even gotta.
Ocho
They ain't.
Chad Ochocinco
They shoes ain't even gotta match their jerseys no more. Yeah. I mean, you look at Boston here, they got green uniforms. It might be somebody there with some orange shoes.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, red. Look at LeBron. LeBron had shoes yet to match his uniform. Hey, LeBron coming out with a 23 be like, look, these gonna be available. Go buy these
Chad Ochocinco
uniform, right? Thanks. Thanks.
Joe Johnson
Hoodie. Gym rat. Ocho basically said McDonald's is a preventative medicine.
Ocho
I mean. I mean, the proof is in the pudding. It's a scientific fact.
Joe Johnson
Scientific fact. Britney Crow. Do you guys believe the top three wideouts in the draft are Tate, Lemon, Tyson, or the three sleepers out there like Ted Hurst, Chris Bale and Bryce Lance? I think Lemon. Was it Lemon or Tyson that won the. The Blitnikov Award? I think he's the guy from usc.
Chad Ochocinco
He.
Ocho
Nice.
Joe Johnson
I like Tate. It's. Look, those wires. It's hard to. It's hard to pick against Ohio State wide receivers because you've seen the production. You see Olave, you see Garrett Wilson, you see ibuka, you see JSN Marvin Harrison Jr. Off to a little slow start. But Ocho, baby, he lose a little weight, get some elastic, get some flexibility back and become that. So we've seen the success that the Ohio State receivers have had over the last several years. So it's hard. It's really, really hard for me to say, like, you know what? I'm gonna take a. I'm gonna take somebody over one of those guys because they are big, they're coached up extremely well.
Chad Ochocinco
They compete.
Joe Johnson
They're great. A. They got big catch radiuses, they're good run after the catch. And based on what I've seen, it's hard. It'd be hard for me to pick against Tate, man.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, y' all think. Y' all think old boy Jeremiah Smith gonna be number one pick next year, man.
Ocho
Number one.
Chad Ochocinco
No question about it.
Ocho
Number one. If he have another season like he's had the previous.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah.
Ocho
Two years. Number one. There's. There's not. I ain't seen a quarterback that.
Joe Johnson
What if Arch Manning plays next season? Like he played the last four games? That's a good one because we. We were talking about the last four games. That he showed out the bowl.
Ocho
He did. He did.
Joe Johnson
And he's a quarterback. I mean. I mean, I'm starting to think the last. What Last wide receiver went number one overall was what? Keshawn Been that I don't think know. Yeah, Kean 96. And before that was Irving Fry in 84.
Ocho
Yeah, Joe, he's.
Joe Johnson
He's special, cuz, you know. Remember Calvin was number two behind jamarcus.
Ocho
Jamarcus Russell. Yeah.
Joe Johnson
So I don't. I don't think. And I could be wrong, but I think the last wide receiver to go number one overall was Kean in 96. And that was the year they had a bunch of receivers go to. Was in that draft. Marvin Harrison was in that draft. Moose and Muhammad was in that draft. I think Eric Moe was also in that draft, if I'm not mistaken now.
Ocho
Hey, Eric Mo big than a joker, boy.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, him and Pillars Price, Kevin Boat Knight. We. Who should we take at 27? I'm stressing over here. The 49ers might need a wide receiver. I don't know if one gonna be available.
Ocho
Another one.
Joe Johnson
Who they got? Yeah. Oh, who they signed?
Ocho
Ricky Purcell. Mike. Mike Evans.
Joe Johnson
Mike Evans. Okay, Pierce. All John Jennings hadn't. Hadn't signed with anyone.
Ocho
He's not back yet.
Joe Johnson
Iuk is gone. The other guy, what was the guy? He ended up going to Arizona. We had him on the show. I forget his name. He was in New England then he was in San Fran. Goes to New England, then comes back to
Ocho
Kendrick Bourne.
Joe Johnson
Kendrick Bourne? Yes. What you think? What you think they need D line dbs. Oh, they just got to stay healthy.
Ocho
That. That. That's it. They.
Joe Johnson
I mean.
Ocho
I mean, they don't really have a. A weakness. I say maybe a dv, A solid db.
Joe Johnson
Ts, car wash detail service. I say Denver. Coming out of the West. I don't curse around my parents. My elders. Tell me about Terrell Davis, man. You would like that, bro. I just love the way he came in and just worked. He started like number six on the jump chart, and every day in practice, he just got better and better and getting better. Now, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you I knew he was gonna be that because I didn't. I just knew. He worked hard. And.
Ocho
And.
Joe Johnson
And like I said, he getting. He getting practice and hey, he make it happen and. But it was that play in. In Japan on the kickoff team that he came in like, man, who is. Oh, boy. I said, man, that's that running back td. I say they gonna move his Ass to DB talking about td, bro. They put him in and he ain't look back or he was special. I just. Obviously he made the hall of Fame, but there wasn't a better big game running back than you. He would like that. He was like that every. I'm talking about any big game that we had. He was showing up. He was gonna do his thing. Dark born Ocho ISO, what are your thoughts on Arkansas assistant Chuck Martin joining Coach Malone with the Tar Heels with the target?
Chad Ochocinco
I love Martin and what he's helped Coach Cal, you know, do up there in Fayetteville and northwest Arkansas. I hate to see him leave, man. Obviously, they probably. They probably dropped him off with a big bag. Yeah, like that. But, you know, good luck to him. But we gotta. We got a young class coming in this year, fellas. Y' all thought Dereus a couple was nice. Now, I ain't gonna say they gonna win SEC player of the year and freshman year and all that, but we gotta. We got a class coming in, bro. That's gonna be like. That's gonna be like that. Yes, sir.
Joe Johnson
Tito underscore sb Unc Ocho still king ISO. You guys watching the Masters all weekend? Was hoping Bryson DeChambeau could win it, but doesn't look good. I think Rory is tied for the league. Roy won it last year. I don't know. I. I used to see a stat. No wonder this led opening day has gone on to win the Masters. Normally the guys, you know, starts off slow, is in striking distance and picks it up over the next three days. But I really. Look, I like golf. I mean, they better not let Scotty Scheffler get close. All he do is win and win. I mean, I don't.
Chad Ochocinco
I don't.
Joe Johnson
I. I like golf. I don't watch it as much as I once did. Like when Tiger was playing. I watch. You know, I'll find myself sitting down because I want to see what Tigers do, especially the majors, and see him with that. That red and those black pants, making that charge. But on Sunday, I just want to go. What? I just want to go and. And. And get no ash. Ain't nobody eating no pimento cheese, but they still got the prices like they had in the original, so a sandwich would cost you like a dollar. Soldiers like 50 cent stuff.
Chad Ochocinco

Joe Johnson
Huh? I have not. I had an opportunity to go, but, man. Yeah, it's too much walking now. I can't walk now. I am. I'm stuck. I'm stuck like Chuck, man. They said oh, over those, over those.

You ever wonder how far an EV can take you on one charge? Well, most people drive about 40 miles a day, which means you can do all daily stuff no problem. Go to work, grab the kids at school, get the groceries and still have enough charge to visit. Visit your in laws in the next county. But they don't need to know that. And the best part?

This energetic, unscripted episode of Nightcap features Shannon, Chad, and Joe dissecting the hottest headlines across the NBA and NFL with their trademark storytelling, humor, and hard-earned insight. Topics span Allen Iverson’s sharp criticism of NBA “load management,” Myles Garrett’s surprising Browns offseason absence, Travis Hunter’s NFL positional future, and fan Q&A covering everything from incentives, fashion in sports, and parenting to classic locker-room tales.
[00:00–11:56]
AI's Critique: Allen Iverson publicly criticizes today’s NBA stars for their load management, drawing contrasts with his own era and reputation for playing through injuries.

[34:32 – 39:43]
Jags’ Plans for Travis Hunter: Jacksonville plans to make Travis Hunter a full-time cornerback, with occasional offensive packages.
Ochocinco’s Take: Full two-way roles are unrealistic given NFL competition; instead, be elite at CB and sprinkle in special plays on offense.
Comparisons with Hall of Famers:
Team-Building Strategy: The group agrees focusing Hunter on DB gives the Jags a bigger impact and extends his career, with Ocho suggesting he become a “traveling DB” who covers every team’s top WR. [38:11]
[13:33–17:37]
LeBron Analysis: Praise for LeBron’s assertive play ("26-11-11, that’s what I’m talking about.” [13:52]), and reflections on the unique moment of him and Bronny sharing the floor.
