In short
Heated sports-and-money discussion: athletes’ spending and going broke, transactional relationships with fame, alcohol-fueled public fights, and media/reporting ethics; plus debate over whether the Bengals are “cheap” for requiring Boomer Esiason to pay travel/lodging.
Guests
No named guests appear in the transcript. The hosts are “Unc” and “Ocho” (sports figures/podcast hosts). Mentions include Boomer Esiason (guest/subject in a story), and reporters/figures like Will Bowling, Shannon Sharpe, Peyton Manning, and others.
Key claims
- Athletes often keep a lifestyle identity after income drops; social media fuels “keeping up with the Joneses,” leading to financial ruin.
- Relationships become more transactional as fame/wealth increase; partners’ loyalty depends on stability.
- Alcohol “breaks inhibitions” and can lead to public violence; “it happens” but shouldn’t be normalized.
- Reporters should respect off-the-record boundaries; using insider access for stories can cost access.
Notable examples
- Odell Beckham selling game-worn chrome Heart cleats for $50K; discussion of managing money.
- Kansas State QB Avery Johnson’s father and brother allegedly fighting post-loss.
- Tennessee Titans sideline reporter Will Bowling removed from charter flights after sharing an off-the-record plane incident.
- Bengals Ring of Honor invite: Boomer Esiason gets tickets and discounted hotel rooms, but the team reportedly didn’t cover travel/lodging.

Find them in stores today. Not all varieties available in all geographies. Warning, this product can cause mouth cancer. I turned off news altogether. I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything. It's the rage bait. It feels like it's trying to divide people. If we got clear facts, maybe we can calm down a little. NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News.
0:58Shannon Sharpe:Reporting for America. What's up, y 'all? Summer's got a different tempo. Everything's a little looser, brighter. One plan turns into another. You hear something, you stay a little longer. Next thing you know, you're somewhere you didn't plan to be. It's those in-between moments. That's where the ideas hit. Conversations stretch out. Little memories sneak up on you. Sometimes it's just about what's in your hand. That color. That chill. The new tropical butterfly refresher from Starbucks. Guava and passion fruit flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls. Yeah, that feels like summer before you even taste it.
1:36Shannon Sharpe:Funny how one small stop becomes the best part of the day. Start your summer rhythm with Starbucks. Try the new tropical butterfly refresher from Starbucks. Do you know the symptoms of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea or OSA in adults with obesity? They may be happening to you without you knowing. If anyone has ever said you snored loudly, or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability, and concentration issues, it may be due to OSA. OSA is a serious condition where your airway partially or completely collapses during sleep, which may cause breathing interruptions and oxygen deprivation.

2:57Presented by the Hyundai Ioniq 5. Goodbye.
3:05Shannon Sharpe:Odell Beckham tweeted, presumably, I guess it said us. Boy, you can't say nothing in the world nowadays. That's why I've been in my own lane, my own world, and put it the way. People love to take ish out of context to rationalize a statement in their own head that makes sense to them. What a world video came out today of Odell selling game-worn chrome heart cleats for 50k. Yeah, hey, remember when you were telling me the story, Unk? And I said, I thought he was giving perspective and context on how difficult it is to be able to manage money. I didn't really think he was talking about himself. No, but Ocho, if you got, Ocho, what's difficult about managing 60 million liquid?
3:51Hold on. Well, what's difficult? The number, the percentage of athletes, NBA, NFL, MLB is damn near 90 % now. So, I mean, it's difficult. That's why I thought, I thought, I thought, because the first thing when he said it and gave context and perspective on how difficult it is, I thought he was meaning in general, not specifically talking about himself. That's all. But go ahead.
4:15Shannon Sharpe:I get what he's saying. Yes, sir. You're spending, first of all, spending$4 million in yearly expenses. Yes, sir. Your home, family home, X, Y, and Z. Well, first of all, to spend that, you need to make at least$10 million. Right. Because depending on where you are. Now, if you're in a state that takes 50%, now, if you're in Nevada, you're in Texas, you're in Florida. I think Ohio has no state income tax. I think Arizona is like 2%. So if you're in one of those states, so it's gonna take about 10 million to do that, to have that kind of lifestyle. Now, what happens is Ocho, is that you still try to maintain that lifestyle Joe, when you're not bringing in 10 million, and you're still spending that money, kind of money going out.
4:58Shannon Sharpe:That's why they go out, that's why you see guys go belly up Ocho, is that you don't change your spending habits. It's the same way, if you're an athlete, you eat whatever you want, you work out. Now all of a sudden you're not an athlete, and you still eat whatever you want. Now all of a sudden, DBs look like D-Lineman. That's what happens with money. Hey, think about what you just said. Hey, Joe, think about what you just said, right? Think about what just said real quick, right? Is you live in a lifestyle when the money's coming in fast. Right. You become accustomed to that lifestyle. That lifestyle actually becomes your image and it becomes an identity.
5:34Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. So once you stop playing the transition to be able to stop and have the discipline to be able to cut it off, to become a minimalist, almost in a sense, it's almost impossible. It's hard. Because you always want to maintain that lifestyle and that image. Because what's the first thing everybody that you're trying to goddamn impress on say? Oh, he ain't got it no more. Oh, he broke. And the first time on show you ain't got a new car, man, hey, he must be doing bad. Yeah, he's doing bad. Right. Man, you know, hey, you used to see him with a new whip every other year. Hey, hey, hey, Joe, hey, Joe and Unc, one thing about it boy i learned early i learned early i did not want to try to keep up with the joneses i did not want to keep hey joe and i and joe i did it when i was making the bulk of my money joe joe i came in the nfl already cheap as hell i didn't care about people making fun of me i didn't care about certain types of women not wanting to date me because they know yeah he ain't gonna he ain't paying nothing he's not you know you ain't getting nothing that's that's okay because i understand i understand dealing with you is nothing but a liability anyway right you know I got the table and the legs you got ain't gonna hold it up.
6:42Hello, hello. You know, so you understand that you play the game, Joe. It's all a game. And the better you learn to play the game, the longer you will be able to be without. It's okay. But so many of us, so many of us are so caught up and looking like we fucking got it. Like, I don't, everybody want to be rich. Everybody want to look like they, like shit. No, that's not reality. Social media has us fooled.
7:13Shannon Sharpe:It has all of us fooled. They ain't got me fooled. They ain't got me fooled. Because I know damn well. I do okay. And I ain't living like that. I ain't got it like that. You know what's scary, Joe? Joe, this is the scary part. And this is for men and women. When it comes to the people that try to maintain that lifestyle and you know they don't make the kind of money to continue that lifestyle, especially if you don't play sports. If you don't play sports and you and all this flashy shit, that means you're willing to do anything, anything to maintain that image. And that in itself is dangerous, Joe.
7:52Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. If you leave the sport and you get you a gig and you making money like Stephen A, you making money like Strahan, you making money like Tony Romo, you making money like Tom Brady, take off. Wait, hold on, hold on. Now what you not gonna do is, I don't mean to put the people in our business, but if you making money like Unk and Ocho, shit, girl, you, hey, listen, shit, boy, hey. Unk ain't spending no money like that. Huh? Unk gonna set everybody up, everybody good, mom good, sister good, everybody good. Listen, listen, Unk, I'm gonna say this one more time. I see them numbers at the end of each month.
8:32Yeah, just add us to that goddamn equation. I'm gonna tell you what my grandma always told me. Huh? Speaking into existence. Hello. We do okay, Ocho. We do okay. Hey, will you say okay? Add three more whys to it. Okay.
8:51Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, I saw a guy today. I saw a guy, I read a quote. Yes, sir. He basically said, he says, as you become more famous and you become more well off, relationships become more transactional. Understand that. Understand that. I'm learning that. Do me a favor. Do me a favor. Just in case the chat didn't hit you, because I got one for you. Say it one more time. Say it one more time, so make sure the chat hit you. The more famous you become and the more well-off you become, the relationships become more transactional. Y 'all know what transactional is. Yes. I agree. I agree. Let me dive a little deeper for you real quick, Uncle Joe.
9:31even if you're not wealthy, even if you're not making millions, even if you're making$100 ,000, or even if you're a thousandaire, you know, you get paid every two weeks. The individual that you're dealing with is still dealing with you based on the ability for you to provide and give them stability and a sense of peace. Always. Always. So it still aligns. Those same, that same quote and the knowledge that Unc used is still aligned regardless of how much you make based on your partner. Ask your partner and tell her to be truthful. If you lost the opportunity to provide, if she'll still be there.
10:12Ask your partner if you being able to make things convenient and the opportunity dealing with you didn't present itself in a good manner, if she will still be there. And tell her to be honest with you. And a lot of women will say, oh I don't deal with nobody for no money it ain't about that come on now let's stop and the funny thing about it is you're always paying for who you're dealing with and the only thing Chad I want you to do me a small favor go to my Twitter and read my bio now there's a joke at the beginning but I tell the truth towards the end go to my Twitter and read my bio and the truth is sitting right there.
10:58No matter what they try to tell you, that's what it all comes down to. No matter what they say.
11:05Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but I just think the thing is, look,$100 million contract, I think everybody understands. $100 million, nobody's getting all$100 million of that. You got to pay federal income tax. I don't give a damn what state you live in. You got to pay federal income tax and you have something called a jock tax if you're a professional athlete and you go to certain states, you got to pay for the money that you earn there. If you go to certain states and you work, you have to pay money that you earn in that state. So I think everybody is, nobody is under the assumption anymore that when they see$100 million, somebody actually got$100 million.
11:39Shannon Sharpe:But to get$60 million, to get, basically, if you, like I said, you live in a tax-free state and you only got to pay 30, let's just say on the high end, you're paying 37 % federal income tax. That means of a million dollars, you get$630 ,000. So if you bring home, if you got$60 million liquid, theoretically, Ocho, you put that in a fund, you put that in a fund, you're going to get 5 % to 8%. There'll be some years you get 10%, 12%. Yeah. So even if you're just getting 5 % on$60 million, that's$3 million a year. Man, if you can't live off$3 million a year, you got issues. Yeah, we in trouble. I'm not saying like a Jay-Z or somebody that got full-time security and they got all these chefs and they got all these people.
12:21Shannon Sharpe:obviously it requires more than that but I'm saying for the average person like myself Joe, you man if you can't live by 3 million whoa whoa whoa listen I'm not average I'm extraordinary I'm cheap as hell but I'm saying people like us because the average person is not going to be in a situation to make that kind of money I'm not talking about if you make a million dollars a year unless you got extraordinary expenses that should you should be good yeah yeah absolutely get you a nice little get you a nice little house payment say you know five somewhere between five and seventy five hundred a month yeah get you a nice car you and your wife get a nice car she got one you got one kid because probably if you make that kind of money Ocho it's hard you're gonna probably be sending your kids to private school it just is what it is there are very few people that make a million dollars a year and their kids go to public school i'm just i'm just being honest with you now i know everybody say i'll send my kids it's easy for you to say that when you're not in that situation but most people that make that kind of money their kids go to private school yeah and what we were trying to do we didn't say it was we were just trying to say how people go belly up yeah because when you have kids multiple kids and you live in certain states and you pay five, 10, 15,$20 ,000 per child.
13:46Shannon Sharpe:You got three kids. If you're paying that kind of money for the kids, guess what else you're paying for? Private school. Private schools cost you somewhere between 10 and 30 ,000 a year. So now compound that. Yeah. So you're paying 100 ,000 a year. Ooh. 100 ,000. Yeah. No, you're paying 100 ,000. Yeah. So if you pay 20, 20, 20, that's 60 ,000 a month times 18 years. A plus another plus let's just say oh children you got three kids and they go to private school and that's another 20 ,000 so that's another 60 ,000 a year times 18 Well, they're not gonna stay the same because private schools go up every year Yeah, it might start out at 20 and by the time they get to be seniors.
14:29Shannon Sharpe:That's probably be 30 35 So we're just trying to explain to people how it happens. Mmm. Is that that's why they say Get you one if I could do it over again I'd have all my kids for one. I'd have been married, saved myself a lot of money, a lot of attorney fees also. Man. See, that's why I'm thankful. Hey, Joe, sometimes I gotta get up. See, that's what I'm gonna do. Just this conversation in general. I'm gonna get on my knees after the show and I'm gonna thank God. I'm gonna thank God, because Unc just ran off them goddamn numbers, right? And that's just, and you think, Joe, I got eight, Joe. I got eight, Joe, and I ain't, listen, hey, hold on, listen to me.
15:05Let me tell you what I'm, Joe, let me tell you what I'm grateful though, Joe. Unk just ran off them numbers, right? Boy, I ain't never seen, I never had to do nothing like that, Joe. You know? No private school, none of your kids went to private school, none of that? Nah, nah, nah, nah, Joe. Joe, my kid needed character. It's a different time now though, Ocho.
15:23Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, my kid needed character, Joe. It's a different time. Yeah. Even now, Ocho, what you was paying, you probably have to double that, even just because the cost of living is higher. You're talking about 15, 18, 20 years ago. so you know what the cost is right now yeah obviously the cost of living has gone up so is the cost of raising a child it's going it's high hey hey joe hey some of them numbers aunt was uh ripping off too you know them people them type of people you know having kids by certain people it ain't really about the child in the first place yeah but it'll be that's what they own now come on now yeah can you add can you imagine having to pay for a child 50 000 a month 100 ,000 a month 2 years old what the hell what we doing boy the fact that they grant that to some people oh yeah absolutely it's based off it's mind boggling I'm like man how somebody need 30 40 50k a month for a child I know a guy that was paying in the early 2000 was playing 14 ,000 a month I know a few cash who paying more than that?
16:38Shannon Sharpe:14 ,000 a month. I know a dude playing 17 ,000 a month, 22 ,000 a month. I'm like, man. But$168 ,000 a year. It's where you file at too though. Where they have them kids at. Now there are some states that the map is capped. You can only get X amount. You might only get 3 ,500, you only get 5 ,000. Right, and then some states, they base it on how much the father makes. Yeah. But I'm saying - And they make you responsible for the private tuition because they say if the child, the child should be afforded a life that if the child was with you, that the child wouldn't enjoy without you. Absolutely.
17:19Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Now I ain't telling what somebody told me. I'm telling you, now see, y 'all can talk about a whole lot, don't know what he talking about? Yeah. Bull jive. Yeah. I'm with you when you write. Ay, ay, boy, that's, ay. I'm glad I'm glad boy those I had kids from boy they wasn't like that man yeah Joe I'm Joe I'm getting on my knee I just just it make me cringe hearing the numbers that I'm rolling off and also I'm present Joe I'm active Joe and that's my thing Ocho it's like these numbers I'm telling y 'all I done heard about cats paying man they they almost got custody of their kids and they still paying and still paying this amount.
18:00Shannon Sharpe:Absolutely. You get the kids during the summer, you get the kids for one to two months, guess what? You still got to send that same money.

20:47Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, you ain't gonna believe this. Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson's father was in a fist fight with his other son in the parking lot after today's loss in Dublin, Ireland. Ocho, take a look at this. Who was fighting? The quarterback's dad and his brother. So the quarterback for K-State, that's his dad and his brother. So that's his son that's fighting the dad. What in the world going on? alcohol in the system
21:24hey I would love the backstory on this too I would love it who won the game
21:33Shannon Sharpe:K-State lost okay look to be in a situation that you fight your dad you got no respect for your dad I can see if it's a family situation where the mom is involved and he's shoving. I get all that, Ocho. But in a situation like this at a ballgame and it's out in public. And, you know, you got to think about other dynamics, too, and other elements that can cause stuff like this. Drinking, alcohol, being in the game, having fun. Again, emotions are high. You lose the game. Some things might be said in exchange and stuff like that happens. Now, when we talk about family incidents and we talk about fights and stuff like this, you know, stuff like this happens, especially especially in our in our culture in general.
22:23Shannon Sharpe:You know, and that's what that's what's so sad. But to see it happen and be in displayed in public like that is very, very unfortunate. Very, very, very. Let me let me tell you something. Let me tell you how alcohol work. You won't do anything intoxicated. You hadn't at least thought about sober because your mind won't allow you to go there. you see people they stole an 18 wheeler or they stole a bulldozer or they did something reckless but you thought about that while you were sober alcohol broke down the inhibitions and gave you the courage that's what they call it liquid courage to go do what you did I don't care how drug I got I ain't finna fight my brother I ain't finna fight my parents it's so funny you see videos like this all the time, Uncle.
23:14And it's embarrassing. Parents fight each other, whether it be sisters, whether it be, hell, and I don't mean to bring up stories. I don't mean to bring up stories, but obviously, you know, the story of my mom, you know, Miss Hurricane Paula. And I remember getting a phone call from my little brother one time. Man, you need to come home, man. What you mean, come home? I can't come home? Boy, it's football season. You know, I'm locked in. Well, mommy done jumped on grandmama. They out there in the grass they out there in the grass and they tunnel. I'm like, man, go out there and stop it. What are you calling me for?
23:47I'm all the way in Cincinnati. There's nothing I can do. I'll take a phone call once I get out. I'm like, come on, Chauncey. So, I mean, that's why I kind of understand it. I get it because I've been in a situation before.

25:47Shannon Sharpe:He doesn't slap him or anything like that. But I see you're to the age now, I feel I can talk to you. You understand. Tim Fitzgerald, PowerCats, has confirmed there was a post-game confrontation at Avivia Stadium involving Mark Johnson, father of Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson, and another man believed to be Mr. Johnson's eldest son. According to witnesses, the conflict turned physical, according to one source. No arrests were made stemming from the incident. There is reportedly a video of the disagreement, and at least one eyewitness is tied to Kansas State Athletics. Kansas State lost to Iowa State 24-21 in the college football classic.
26:30Shannon Sharpe:Avery Johnson completed 21 of 30 passes, 273, two touchdowns. He also ran for a touchdown. But that was a good game, bro. Did you get a chance? Yeah, he had a good game. That was a good game. Yeah, it was. But the thing is, Ochoa, if you can't handle your alcohol, don't drink. This is an awful look. The starting quarterback of a D1 school, his dad and his brother are fighting. It's raining. they're in
27:06hold on hold on I hate people that act slow stop with the BS like this is normal in our community so now we sit there acting like this don't happen
27:18Shannon Sharpe:I'll tell you about it I'll tell you no no we're not saying that it doesn't happen but you have to also understand just because it happens doesn't make it right someone saying stop acting like it's not normal I mean what rock it ain't what rock are we living under when we see it every single day every single day we see families families it's us all the time how many more examples we need something like it's not normal it ain't normal I've been seeing it all my life I hate when people say dumb shit not you I'm not talking about you I'm just talking about it in the chat like what are you talking about god damn
28:07it just it's just tough to see because we got we got enough without us fighting ourselves
28:15Shannon Sharpe:we got enough to fight a big battle a bigger battle we got enough we got enough issues that don't involve us i've been i've been stopped arguing with people of my complexion and they act like they live under a rock, man. I'll let y 'all have it. This is how y 'all feel. Y 'all say, okay, cool. I'm good. I'll move on. I think I just have more pressing things going on than to argue with someone that looks like me, that even though they didn't come from a familiar background like mine, it's not even worth it anymore, Ocho. No, I'm just saying in general. I'm just saying. I know what you're saying.
28:58I know exactly what you're saying. I'm not saying it's right. But to sit here and act like it doesn't happen is not prevalent in our culture and try to sit here, act like you part of the goddamn royal family. Like, that's not true. Like, what are we talking about? Copenhagen spit free packs American grown tobacco into pouches made from when your elbows deep in an engine block.
29:20Shannon Sharpe:They're masked up, torching deep cuts into stubborn pipes. Her helmet's on, riding deep into backcountry.

31:53Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, doesn't come as a surprise because I told you this was going to happen. The Tennessee Titans' sideline reporter, Will Bowling, has been removed from the team's charter flights going forward. Bowling shared something that he witnessed on the plane ride of a trip home from Cleveland after week 14. Bowling addressed the situation during his daily radio show and apologized for relaying the story and that now understands he should have been considered off the record. Yes. Everything that you, if they're not speaking directly to you, it's off the record. Yeah. You don't get to go on the team playing.
32:33Shannon Sharpe:Do you know how many reporters have seen things on the team playing? Well, who's late or who's, maybe there's been a fight. Maybe there's been some things that shouldn't have been going on. Because back then we used to have them little portable DVDs and guys be watching things they shouldn't be watching. Yeah. Hey, guys be drinking and things of that nature. You keep your mouth shut. Yeah. He got to learn the hard way. Now you got to find your own way to the city. And guys are going to be like, man, we can't trust the old boy. The old boy is going to be like, shh, shh. Yeah. Hey, listen, for one, you give an opportunity to have access, to be around, to be on those charter flights.
33:16and you can't just take everything you see and try to use it to your advantage and make it a story. Now you're outside the window looking, peeking through the blinds. Yeah. Now, I'm not even sure where they, I mean, for years going forward, were they probably, were they? Probably not. He probably won't be allowed on. He probably will not be allowed back on the plane. Now you done messed up. You done messed up a good opportunity just to have a story.
33:44Shannon Sharpe:Yes. Oh, I'll give you a prime example. I remember Peyton Manning's first year. Was his first year? Yeah, first year in Denver. Yeah. We're doing a story.
34:01Shannon Sharpe:And I watch him practice. Yeah. He hadn't had this all year. He's throwing with a glove. Yeah. Oh, it was cold, huh? But remember, he had that nerve damage. But prior to that, he had been throwing barehanded. Right. I see him. He's practicing with a glove. I see all these gloves in his locker. It would have been nothing for me to take a pair. He got 20 of them in his locker. Right. Put them in my bag and says, guys, this is what Peyton Manning is going to be throwing the football with today. Oof. It would have been a great story. Shannon breaks news, Peyton Manning. And sure enough, he comes out there throwing like, oh.
34:42Shannon Sharpe:But nah, bro. Everything ain't meant to be said. Yeah, yeah. Everything. Plus, that is my team. And they trust me. I got free reign, don't you? I go anywhere I want to. I know the code. I punch the code. Hey, they don't let me in. I punch the code and go in. Right, right, right, right. I go where I want to go. I go upstairs. I go to Mr. Bowling's office. I go walking around. I'm in coaches. I go to John Fox. I go to John's. I go everywhere. I see. So we the same. The access you have in Denver is the same way I am down in Cincinnati. Yeah. And the funny thing about it, you know, I think why we have that access the way you do.
35:17And for me, it's always arms are always open and welcome because I don't take advantage of it. I only go there maybe twice a year, maybe twice a year. You know, that's it. And I think if I think of knowing the access that I do have and the love that they do show in that stadium where I can go from top to bottom. Yeah. And I go anywhere I want anywhere. If I did it all the goddamn time, they'd be like, all right, now. Yeah, you're beautiful. Come on now.
35:43Shannon Sharpe:Let me take that back on you. I used to be able to do that. I don't have that access anymore now. Oh, no? I don't know. I don't go back. They invite me back for alumni things and the Super Bowl team and stuff like that. When guys get to go to the ring of honor. I haven't been back. I have a great relationship. I met the Waltons. I met the Penners. I met all of them. They were great to me. They had a great conversation. but I don't know them like I knew Mr. Bowling. I would like to get to know them. Maybe I take some time and I go back and sit down and have a conversation with them. But I'm like you, Ocho.
36:23Shannon Sharpe:I'm never going to wear out my welcome even though I had the access that I had. I didn't go back and take advantage of it. I would go back when they invited me but when it came time for the Super Bowl, you damn best believe Yeah, you was there? What? You know I'm excited. You know I'm excited. So obviously, most of the time, I was doing one a year. Since I retired, one game a year. I always made it out to one game a year. This will be the first year since I retired. And what was that? I mean, since they left there. Since I left there. Yeah, so you left. Where I'm going to a second game. Right.
36:58I'm going to a second game. Obviously, I'm not counting the Ravens game. I'm not counting the Ravens game Thursday night on Thanksgiving. Right. But this Sunday, I'm going back. I'm going back for the Ravens game. I mean, it's just the warmth and the welcome and the grace that they've shown me when I am no longer any value to you. I'm no longer any value to you. And they still treat me, whether it be the fans, whether it be ownership, Zach Taylor, whether it be the players, with open arms. And the fact that they still treat you like that when you're no longer of any value. I'm not on the payroll.
37:36I'm not on the payroll. I don't get a check in there.
37:38Shannon Sharpe:I think the fans appreciate that. Fans know the guys that really cared, that played their ass off, that gave everything they possibly had, left nothing on the field. And when they left, they're like, you know what? We got everything Shanna Sharp had. We ain't never had to worry about 84 because we know 84 was going to give it to us. Yes, sir. It became difficult, Ocho, because I worked at CBS for a decade. So how am I going to get – I'm in New York. How am I going to get back? I went back when they put me into the Ring of Fame in 2009. I went back again in 2011 when they put me – I received my ring from the Hall of Fame.
38:15Shannon Sharpe:But it was hard for me to get back because I'm working. I can't – hey, you know what? The Broncos really wanted me to come back. I can't miss work like that. And then I started working at Fox Undisputed for several years, and it was hard. And I went back – I think I went back once. But it's really hard, Ojo, to go back when I got to watch all these games and I'm at one game. Even though, you know, they got it on, you know, Mr. B was like, oh, you know, Sharpie, what game you want to watch? And I was like, don't worry about it, Mr. B. So it's really hard. It's hard for me to talk about something, Ocho, if I don't see it.
38:52Shannon Sharpe:I need to see it so I can tell you the intricacies of what actually happened, the design of the play to make up the defense, X, Y, and Z. So that's really the main reason I don't really attend events when other events are going on because I need to be able to tell you what actually happened. And speaking of being able to tell you what actually is going to happen, I'm going to tell you, your Ravens are going to lose again. There you go. I'm just saying, every game I'm in attendance to, you do understand. I went to the Thursday night game, Joe Burrow's first game back. You see what happened. You see what happened, right?
39:32And this, I got another. I got your Ravens. I got your boy. You know, you Ravens fan. I got Butter. I'm not sure if you've seen some of the clips that Butter makes some time. I haven't.
39:41Shannon Sharpe:I haven't seen it. Listen, Butter stayed way in Seattle. I done got Butter a ticket, right? Yeah. I done got Butter a ticket. I'm talking about he's a huge Ravens fan. He fly in tomorrow. Okay. He fly in here. He fly in to Cincinnati tomorrow. I'm going to meet him out there Friday evening, and I'm going to allow him to see greatness in person. Okay. I want him to see greatness in person. I want him to be able to, I want him to be, because he streams and increases content, I want his content to be authentic and organic. Yeah. And I want him right there. I want him right there, front and center, you know, watching the Ravens lose, you know, and I want him to cry.
40:16I want him to cry in person. So we can see, I don't, you know, one thing about it, it's very hard for me to talk about people. It's very difficult for me. I can be critical. Yeah. I can critique players. but I wanted to see 77 in person. I wanted to see 77 in person and to see why Lamar is going to be frustrated, why he's going to get sacked, why he's going to be running for his life, and the Bengals are coming away with another win and one step closer to winning the AFC North that hasn't gone in our favor all season long.
40:51Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. But for this gentleman, Ocho, I don't know. He's got to be young because no veteran reporter would ever do something like this. You think he's young? He's got to be young. I mean, I'm not saying he's, I'm not maybe age-wise, but it'd be interesting to know how long he's been in this capacity doing this job. That's understood. Oh, sure, we got women on the plane. I mean, we used to have women reporters. Lynn DeBruin, rest her soul, Lynn was great. She was great. She would always come to me. I was like, Lynn, do you not have, she's like, but Shanna, you're going to give it to me straight. I know, but somebody else might give it to you straight too.
41:31Shannon Sharpe:You don't want to get it from them. But she was always great. And we were always respectful. And I made sure guys were respectful of her, especially women. Sage Steele, her first job was with the Raiders. As a reporter, it was with the Raiders. Right, okay. And all that stuff that, obviously, she's attractive. No, boy, we're not going to do that. That lady finna do her job. And we're going to allow her to do her job. And we're going to be professional. Yeah. That's what we're going to do. She'll tell you. Ask her. She'll tell you. No, we're going to be professional. That's not the way we do things.
42:06Shannon Sharpe:Right. But on the plane, Ocho, you're like, look, we gambled. We played card for money. And then, you know, obviously, they got to go to the bathroom, Ocho. They couldn't go to first class because that's where the coaches were. So they had to come by, and we move out of the way. And Mike just said, 84. can we not gamble on the plane? You know, hey, y 'all get to the room, have at it, you play your cards, you know, play cards, roll your dice, but can we not? Okay, done. Now, the only thing that I really got, I don't really get mad at mad. Animals get mad. Humans get upset. I don't really get upset because Mike was like, Mike was like, obviously he let the vets handle the stuff, and we did a great job.
42:46Shannon Sharpe:I think the committee that was in charge, I thought we did a very good job. of dealing with stuff before it got big enough that Mike would have to intervene. Right. Mike said it was brought to his attention and I know who told him. The flight attendants did. You remember them portable DVDs? Chad, I know y 'all remember them portable DVDs. Yeah, it was kind of big a little bit. Yeah, they were silver. A little thick at the bottom. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What y 'all were watching? They know y 'all, first of all, I had one but man y 'all know my personality I'm gonna be joining on the plane I'm gonna be talking about what you wore what you wore on the plane and how that's good and terrible and I'm gonna tear your ass up once we get on the second team bus so you make sure you get nah nah man everybody wanna go on bus one if they got on some bull drive they wanna go on bus one cause that's the bus Mike on yeah they don't want no smoke yeah yeah they know we can't get get your ass on bus two man Sean what bus you on getting on bus two Mike asked me, look, guys, it's been brought to my attention that you guys are watching stuff that you shouldn't be watching.
43:57Shannon Sharpe:Like what? What they can't watch, huh? Man, them jokers be watching Spankture Vision. In the hotel, we call it Spankture Vision. Spankture Vision? Yeah. What the hell is that? Chad, tell Ocho what Spankture Vision is. Ain't nobody... Spankture Vision? What the hell? Never heard of that? That's when you watch them more dirty movies. Oh, you talking about like Debbie does Dallas? Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Oh, you needed some earphones? Ocho, no, but Ocho, the flight attendants come in giving you food and walking up and down asking if you want anything to drink. They walk about pushing the cart.
44:33Shannon Sharpe:They see that. Oh, okay, okay, okay. See, they got their eyes in the wrong place. They need to mind their business. Look here. You know you walking up and down. It's just like you walking up and down, you go to the bathroom, and somebody filling out their thing, you going to see it. It's just the way it is. Ain't nobody walking straight ahead. You're not looking to your left. You're not looking to your right. You're walking straight ahead. So Mike said, look, guys, I don't try to tell you guys what to do. You're grown men, but let's not do this. Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. You're right.
45:05You're right. Yeah, that ain't them boys watching that thing when they're playing. I'm coming back home, huh?
45:11Shannon Sharpe:Man, I slammed that thing. I slammed somebody's thing. I think I broke it. I said, see, because here's the thing. The way I look at it, you know how coach it is. Yeah. Somebody jump off sides. We all got to run. I didn't do nothing. As a matter of fact, I wasn't even in. Right. So we got to run. So if that gets out again, what Mike's going to do? Mike going to punish everybody. Right. Nah, you not fitting to mess it up because you can't control your behavior. Nah, that's not going to happen. So that's where, you know, man, bro, the man told you. I mean, think about it. We get what we want. We get free movies.
45:51Shannon Sharpe:Everybody got a free movie. Whatever you want to watch. I mean, me and Burns, I watch Players Club. I bet you I watch Players Club 25, 30 times. Hey, Bernie Mac was a fool in that thing. Man, bro, I just didn't want guys to mess it up. One person or two people to mess it up for 50. so you know sometimes you have to like bro come on now you have to you know but on the plane bro you can't talk about you can't have a reporter yeah you're right you're right even me now knowing what i know i know look i make calls here and there i just let it go i just let it go joe i don't say nothing i know a lot of things that have transpired be it nba be at NFL.
46:41Shannon Sharpe:That ain't what I do. I just let people think I just be talking out my, you know. Yeah, and don't know what you're talking about. But guess who know what I'm talking about? The people that I'm talking about. Yeah.
46:57Shannon Sharpe:That's who know what I'm talking about.
47:03Shannon Sharpe:All right. There's this narrative that the Bengals are one of the cheapest teams in the NFL. Joe, I don't know if you know this. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. That narrative should be gone. Have you seen? Have you seen? After we read this, I'm going to let you not chat. I will let the chat chime in and what y 'all think. Boomer Sison, I worked with Boom for 10 years, a decade at CBS, called the Bengals out for making their legends pay for their own flight, hotel, and extra tickets to a ring of fame, a ring of honor game. Boomer, one of the most decorated quarterbacks in Bengals history.
47:40Shannon Sharpe:He's one of two Bengals players to ever win the MVP award, and he took the team to the Super Bowl. So Ken Anderson won the award. Boomer won the award. Ken took him to the Super Bowl. Boomer took him to the Super Bowl. So did Joe. Boomer also has a game in which he's thrown for over 500 yards. He's also in the ring of honor. The team is offering for him to attend the event, the Bengals Ring of Honor, in late October to honor Dave Laffin and Lamar Parrish as part of the class of 2025. Yeah, who gave it? Yeah, yeah. Laffin and Parrish will bring the total number to 12. as part of the invite, Joe, check this out.
48:31Shannon Sharpe:Esiason gets two complimentary game tickets to sit in the stands plus the option to buy another ticket. But rather than pay for Esiason's travel and lodging, like most teams would do, the team said that they're paying for a block of rooms at the Renaissance Hotel in Cincinnati and that Esiason could stay there for a preferred discounted rate. Asiason had to RSVP by Friday in order to guarantee his seat for the game. He later added that he believed he was expected to pay for his flight as well.
49:11Shannon Sharpe:Now, I don't know how anybody – listen, I can only speak to Joe. I played for two teams. I played for the Ravens. I played for the Broncos. Anytime, anytime they have something, alumni weekend, They have somebody being honored. Somebody's going into the ring of fame. Somebody's getting their Hall of Fame ring. They will bring the alumni back, pay for them to come back, put them up at no cost. They will have suites so the players can go in there and have a good time. But not the Bengals. The Bengals say, nah, y 'all get out there with the rest of the fans. Send the stands with the rest of the fans.
49:55You get two tickets. I don't know. I mean, no, you sit in the suites. That ain't what he said. That's not what he said. That's not. The alumni that come back for the Ring of Honor sit in the suites. They don't sit in the stands. So why would they say? I'm telling you, I done been to all that, Monk. We sit in the suites. I don't know what Boomer talking about. I went into the Ring of Honor with Boomer. those that are part of the ring of honor alumni i've been back once already you sit in the suites you don't sit in the stands now as far as uh room and board goes i i'm not i'm not sure that works i always stay at the ac hotel right do you pay for that or do they pay for it
50:40Shannon Sharpe:uh they have a do they pay for it or do you pay for it is a simple question i i don't remember because did it come off your credit card or did it come off their credit card I remember. I remember. I didn't book my stuff. Well, who booked it? My baby. My baby. My baby. She upstairs. No, no, no, no, no, no. At the time, you were not with your baby upstairs. So when you go back for function for the Cincinnati Bengals, are you paying for it out of your pocket or are they comping everything? They should be comping, man. That's what I said. Chad. Chad. Joe, let me finish this, Joe. Chad, you see what he did?
51:20Shannon Sharpe:He went all around that. He did all that hunking and bucking. All of the fine out that the Bengals don't pay for each. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on, hold on. So all these, all these, so y 'all, y 'all, y 'all, we spent all this money all season long and we complaining about buying it, buying it. Hold on, hold on, hold on, Ocho.

You're not putting anybody up at the Intercontinental or any of those fancy places like that. So it's going to be a Marriott.

Have you been out? Have you seen the women in Cincinnati? Huh? Top five in the world. In Cincinnati? Joe, what you laughing at? What? What you talking about?
57:55Shannon Sharpe:Why Cincinnati don't play, what? You do realize Jordan was born and raised in Cincinnati, and Jordan is shaking his head. What's up, Michael? What's up, Jordan?

58:36condos, apartments have gone up. My dog got a funnel truck out there called Funnel Cake Island. You hear me? But Cincinnati has been on a come up and people don't realize it because they think of Cincinnati of the old. So you're saying if I go to Cincinnati now, I can catch a nice little vibe?

It's probably one day. $206. So you bring the guys in. I don't know how they do it. But they would always bring us in on a Friday. We have something Friday night. Saturday, you have something during the day. You have a golf event during the day. You wake up. They feed you breakfast. You bus over to the stadium.
1:00:01Shannon Sharpe:They bus you to the stadium. They got it laid out. You got food and stuff. normal food that's in the suite. They got that. Then they take you back to the, you take, you get back on the bus. They take you back to the hotel. You take your ass home Monday morning. Since ain't doing that.

1:01:25Shannon Sharpe:On the field. Okay, where y 'all field at? On grass. Where the grass field at? On the water? Under an overpass. So people can stop their boats. People can park their cove. Hey, Joe. Oh, Joe. Joe, we practice on the water. Y 'all ain't on no damn water. Hold on, Joe. Let me see the joke. I got that damn lie. It's a beautiful breeze. A beautiful breeze. It hits to the gate under the overpass. And so the breeze is always flowing while you practice. I can ride by and throw trash on the field, Joe. I can ride by and throw trash on the field. Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe, let me tell you something. Don't listen.
1:02:11Don't listen. Cincinnati is one of the most beautiful places you could ever be, you could ever live. Am I lying? If you visit there, you won't want to leave.
1:02:20Shannon Sharpe:I promise. Ocho, I promise you this, Ocho. You can take this to the bank. I won't tell you everything, but I won't lie about anything. What, hey. I'm like, you're your door, Pat. That's what you want, Joe. Hold on, hold on. Hey, let me finish. Now, one thing about it. Joe, you know when it comes to me. Uncle, you know when it comes to me.
