14:41Shannon Sharpe:Let me ask you a question. How many strikes is a perfect game? 10? What you mean? He don't know what he's talking about. 12. 10. 10. Hold on, you bought a perfect game before?

16:03Shannon Sharpe:Now, man, to bowl that average of 250 would know this.

16:19Shannon Sharpe:I already knew what it was. My mom used to bowl all the time. It says 12. 12. You got to get a strike the first nine frames in order for you to have a chance. And then you got to get three bonus frames.

16:35Shannon Sharpe:Let me ask you a question. What's three consecutive strikes called? He don't know that. He don't know that. Three consecutive strikes. Gobble, gobble. That's what I know. A turkey. It's called a turkey.

16:52Joe Johnson:I ain't no bowler. You say what? I mean, he asked me, what's three consecutive strikes called? I'm not a bowler. I just know how to bowl.

17:04Shannon Sharpe:Basically, what he's saying is if you're averaging 250, you don't have to go all the way. No, you don't have to go all the way. Yes, you do. Why? Because that means you are a serious bowler. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's why I know you ain't bowing no 250.

25:56Yeah.

25:56Shannon Sharpe:Say it ain't gonna slow you down. Nope.

26:04Shannon Sharpe:Ruby Rose said you need to make five million dollars a year to date her

26:20oh

26:28Joe Johnson:for content purposes, because that's what this is, for content purposes.

26:38Joe Johnson:I mean, that's... Everyone can have their dreams and aspirations. Everyone can have their... What's the word I'm looking for? their prerequisites on what's required to date them. So I'm not knocking her prerequisites. Now it's a little steep based on the individuals that have five million that make five million or more a year. That pool of one percentage you have to choose from. I mean, that's cool. That's cool as long as you understand what comes with that.

27:16Shannon Sharpe:Well, at least she already told you what she about. So she's under no pretenses. Look, it's just as easy to say the rich man, it is a poor one. And if you're giving a choice, hey, she say, I'm going to take the rich one. But you know what you got? You know what? She already told you what she's about. Yeah. Five mil.

27:39Joe Johnson:I like it. So let me ask you a question, Ocho. Ruby Rose. She cute. She cute, huh?

27:45Shannon Sharpe:She's fine, huh? Not$5 million fine. You don't think so? I've seen women I've seen women finer I've seen women look better That's just me personally Right, right, right Okay Okay Hell, I was just Hey, it's Houston I saw 10 of them Oh my gosh I know three for sure

28:05Joe Johnson:Do me a favor Don't mention Houston You know what You're right You're right My bad I've been focused I've been focused I've been disciplined Don't do that Don't do that Don't do that But yeah I think at some point She was dating Drusky Drusky If I'm not mistaken Yep I mean obviously she's gorgeous

28:24Shannon Sharpe:so I'm going to do that in order for Unk to date you I'm going to need you to make at least 10 million a year damn how many women on earth are making 10 million a year I'm telling you what my standard is okay

28:43Shannon Sharpe:what the fudge that got to do with me hey if she can say she wants somebody that make 5 million why can't we?

28:54Joe Johnson:Listen, and that's the beauty of life too, huh? That's the beauty of life. As man, as women we can have prerequisites and have certain standards and abide by them and boundaries, whatever it may be. I want my man to have A, B, C and I want my woman to have A, B, and C. And if they don't meet those standards, I'm going to keep it moving. Now the chances of finding some of the things that people require it's slim to none but if you're going to shoot for the moon or if you're going to shoot for the stars and fall short and land on the moon so be it

29:24Shannon Sharpe:but here's the thing though Ocho you see how women can have standards women can say I want somebody six foot tall I want somebody to make X amount of dollars I want somebody that has a degree I want somebody that's well read and likes to travel yeah Shannon says Shannon says oh he don't want a woman to pass gas right that's why you're single you see Now, women just listed on five, ten things what they want. That ain't what I ain't single. Right, right, right. But, hey, I say I want a woman to pass gas around me. I want a woman, she go to the bathroom, I don't need to know. Close the door. Oh, I can see why I'm single.

29:59Shannon Sharpe:Women tell you all the things they want. The first thing a man says, they'll say, you know what? I want a woman that's about five, ten. I want her to have her natural hair. I want her to have everything natural. He's so shallow. a man a man tell you what he want he's shallow women go out there and tell you everything I want this this this and this hey I don't blame you baby don't settle don't settle

30:28Joe Johnson:but a man's supposed to settle

30:30Shannon Sharpe:but women never supposed to settle man y 'all better miss me

30:35Joe Johnson:yeah hey it's an ongoing battle on it's an ongoing battle of the sexes and what we want what we require there's a lot of delusion in it as well it's I like it I like it whatever you believe in whatever your standards may be go for it go for it again like I say shoot for the highest the highest you can the chance of you getting you know what you're actually shooting for it's slim to none but hope and believe that one day you may achieve it but I mean

31:09Shannon Sharpe:I'm saying no Joe I don't I don't care. I don't care what race you date. I don't care whatever the case may be. But it seems to be jaded for one side that a woman gets to have all these prerequisites that they require from a man. But the moment a man says this, oh, he's shallow. Oh, he's this. He's that. Why can't I say I want this out of a woman? Right. Like women say they want this from a man.

31:36Joe Johnson:That's all I'm asking.

31:37Shannon Sharpe:I don't care what you date. I don't care who you date. But I'm just asking, why can't men have standards like women? We're supposed to take with anything. We're supposed to take anything that wink at us and lay down, hey, you better be glad, Shanna, you're 57. I don't give a damn if I'm 87. Yeah. You ain't fit to put no stipulations on me.

32:03Joe Johnson:Double standards. I said, come on, man. Depending on who you ask. That's a great topic. That's a great conversation.

32:12Shannon Sharpe:Hey, if she, if $100 ,000, whatever the case may be, most of the time, men don't say, oh, she needs to make this. Okay, you treat me good. Okay, blah, blah, blah.

32:29Joe Johnson:But also, you got to think about this too, men that make that kind of money, men that make that kind of meaning 5 million and more they like dealing with women that don't have as much or really don't need them because they don't want to deal with women that don't need them they want to deal with women that need them that puts them in positions of power where they're able to control what you can and can't do so they enjoy that and most women I don't think they understand when you deal with these men that have that kind of money that are taking care of you and doing everything for you you hey there's really no freedom huh but because you make you make one mistake the chance of getting

33:07Shannon Sharpe:that again it's slim to none you got to be careful the reason why men because a woman that makes that kind of money she don't have that kind of time to devote to a man that's making that kind of money anyway so women that don't make that money the man is expecting them to be there at their beck and call if a woman make that right she's working just as hard as a man that's making that yeah so that's why you don't see a lot a lot of times a lot sometimes not all but i'm talking about like movie stars you know the saying is you know why movie stars because the other know what it's like to live in that world but more when you start seeing women men okay you make a million you make two million you make five you make 10 you make 20 do you understand yeah what is required of a woman to make that kind of a salary yeah it's different she ain't finna be cooking coming home and cooking for you?

33:57Shannon Sharpe:She ain't been to be cooking. No, bro. Come on now. It's different. So you have to understand. Okay. I want somebody that's going to be the mother of my kids. I want somebody that's going to stay home and take care of the house. Woman is making$10 million. I don't believe she giving that up, Ocho. She don't work too hard to be put in that position. I'm just saying I could be wrong, but it's hard. It's hard.

34:21Joe Johnson:You're not wrong. You're not wrong because y 'all understand a woman that's making$10 million a year that's a plan that's been thought out strategized years in advance her whole life and she's not messing that up no that's that wasn't a mistake yeah that was not a mistake

34:43Shannon Sharpe:so it's man these women got real bold with it but it is what it is yeah

34:49Joe Johnson:but listen it eliminates gray area it eliminates gray area and it eliminates games. Now, what it does do, it makes a percentage of the type of men that they can date. It shrinks the pool very, very, very, very, very small. I want a man that makes$5 million. Well, I know one thing. All of them that make$5 million or more? I mean, well, the chance, I mean, you got to wait to turn to come off the bench. That's about it. You ain't going to be the only one, but he does make$5 million. Mm-hmm. I mean, you know, they get the pick from the, they get the pick from the pond on who they, on who they want to deal with.

35:27Hey, listen, that Pacific day, you understand what that comes with now.

35:32Joe Johnson:I mean, listen, some, sometimes women don't care as long as they got it. Hey, but it, but it is what it is.

35:39Shannon Sharpe:Ochoa has been reported. A woman divorces her husband after$11 ,000 nose job and discovered her worth. It changed my life. I have a lot of time to recover after the nose job. and it made me think, I need to really get the divorce so I can move on with my life.

35:57Joe Johnson:Listen, there's certain things that happen for women in life. They come into some money. They get things done to enhance their body, their appearance, and then they start getting attention from others, the type of attention that they never got before. And most of the time, it fools you when you get attention from others before. especially not only when you're married, you have somebody that actually loves you. You have somebody that loves you. You build a foundation with them. And it's different as opposed from the lust that you get from others. That you understand. They just want to hate. It's different, Ocho.

36:34Joe Johnson:I hate.

36:35Shannon Sharpe:It's different. When you home and your girl said, Ocho, you look good today. Now, you go out with your boys. Like, damn, Ocho. I ain't know. Yeah. Yeah. Boy. You see it all.

36:48Joe Johnson:You see it all the time. Coming from a different mouth and you hear it. It'll fool you every time, huh? It will fool you every time. It absolutely would. It will. And stuff like that happens. It happens all the time. It happens all the time. You go from, and listen, I love that line. It happens to a lot of women all the time because they allow the outside, the outside voices to get to them because it's new. Yes. All the time. And you leave, you know, women leave relationships with guys where they have a solid foundation, where things are going well. And most of the time they have these beliefs and thinking everything's going to be pieces of cream when it doesn't work that way.

37:28Joe Johnson:And the outside voices have you going for the main attraction to now you're just another number on a dude roster because you think the grass is green on the other side or somewhere else. And it happens like there's countless stories of this happening over and over and over and over. it's ridiculous especially this one story here oh I got my known job now I'm getting all the type of attention that I never got before and I think it might be better somewhere else but you leave your loving husband your solid foundation someone where you got stability and you think it's better elsewhere man shoo man shoo

38:11and

38:12Shannon Sharpe:I'm great at giving advice I just don't take sometimes I don't even take my own damn advice and that's why I need my ass kicked I told my homeboy my homeboy had my homeboy had this girl man she was amazing yeah she cooked cleaned I'm talking about yeah this A I need$500 she might have$400 she gonna give him the$400 and go borrow the other$100 to make sure he get it ooh come on now this dude I said man don't do that I said you got a good girl I said man she great they end up getting married I mean she was great Ocho Ocho Ocho and this dude I mean he's like he like he like dog it's just something about that newness the new one she knew this one knew I said I said bro your wife gonna be new to another ninja yeah I said bro I'm telling you yeah

39:15Joe Johnson:They still together?

39:19Mm-mm Yeah Hey

39:22Joe Johnson:One thing about it One thing about it You never You never know what you got Until it's gone You don't

39:28Shannon Sharpe:I'll be Oh Joe

39:29Joe Johnson:You never Listen You never know what you got Until it's gone

39:37You never

39:37Joe Johnson:You never do I've never You know what's funny Is I've been in the game so long, I've been playing the game so long, is I know when I'm always right. I never missed. I never missed. Never.

39:59Shannon Sharpe:All I'm saying, look here, if all of a sudden your lady start working out, she working out for somebody else to see her naked.

40:06Joe Johnson:That's a beautiful thing right there. that's a beautiful thing too I'm just not only is she working out for somebody else to see her naked that means he get to take her off the books you know when the team you know what we don't see you putting in the same type of production as you used to so we gonna have to ask you to take a pay cut well you know I ain't taking no pay cut alright well we gonna have to release you you know what it feels like for an NFL team to move off from a player whose salary is 10 million a year or 20 million a year and then you get that 20 or 10 million off your books, you know how much freedom that is?

40:50Joe Johnson:So can you imagine you having a woman who's working out all of a sudden out of the blue so another man can see her naked? That means he gets to take on that responsibility and those expenses and those bills and that headache. That's a great thing. I'm not sure why many times see when things end as, oh my God, I want to chase behind her. Oh, I love her. Man, what are you talking about, bro? What are you talking about? Who chases after an expense that doesn't even want to be with you anymore? I understand love and all that. Think about it. Why am I chasing after another expense? Or whoever it is that you're in love with, if things aren't working out, what exactly are you chasing?

41:32Joe Johnson:What value is she bringing to the table to or for you?

41:37Shannon Sharpe:I mean, if she got, I mean, look, it all depends what you're looking for. If you, if you, if you find, if you found a woman, you found someone, she works, she has a job, she's working, she's bringing stuff to the table. She's helping you. You're helping her. Okay. That's a, that's a great relationship. Now you find a woman, you say, babe, you can continue to work, but you don't have to if you don't want to. Because I need you to do X, Y, and Z, and Z, and Z. And in the process, I'm going to make sure everything that you normally have to cover, I'll cover it. Now, me. Okay. Boom. I understand that.

42:22Shannon Sharpe:She's like, well, nah, I kind of want my own thing because I don't want to be under control because if you control the money, a lot of times, he who controls the money...

42:31Joe Johnson:Controls me. Every time. Every time.

42:33Shannon Sharpe:It's just like the job. The job feel that they're going to teach you a certain type of way because they control the money. Now, if you need the money, you're going to have to. So a lot of times she's like, I don't want to be in this situation because I don't want you to have that level of control. Okay, fine. Yeah. Fine. But it's just like, I just hate these conversations because it's so one-sided. Yeah, it is. because I get, let's just say for the sake of argument, Ocho, I have a kid with somebody. Yeah. Now, okay, she's loving me. She's cooking for me. She's providing, you know, she's doing what a woman could do.

43:09Joe Johnson:Okay,

43:10Shannon Sharpe:I'm doing for her, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Right. But what happens, she leave. See, the state will require me to do all the things that I was doing before. They'll require me. She don't have to do nothing. Yeah. She don't have to give me no more hoo-ha. she don't have to see me no more the state will require me to take care and do what I need to do you see how one side of that is why wouldn't the state require her to do something for me mm-hmm but you know what Ocho at this juncture of my life I'm only going to be with who I want to be with I don't care I'm going to be with who I want to be with

43:48Joe Johnson:speaking of junctures speaking of junctures in life obviously at my big age or you're a big age, I'm in search of a life partner. Always have been. And when one thing doesn't work out,

44:07Joe Johnson:then you keep on moving. And you stay in search of that life partner. I'm very intentional in all that I do. And I say it all the time, especially those that I meet. And I am looking for a wife and family dynamic. now if I try it one time and it doesn't work out you don't stop and that just goes with anything in life you know that goes with anything in life and I like the fact that all the time especially we have these conversations where a lot of people can relate sometimes things work out sometimes things don't but I hate people that give up on their dreams or aspirations or whatever it may be.

44:56Joe Johnson:And the funny thing about it is, you know, shit, things happen in life. Yeah. Things end. It does. But it doesn't have to stop there. It just doesn't.

46:38I'm Emily Oster. I'm an economist and data expert. And I'm Perry Wilson. I'm a medical doctor. And this is our new podcast, Wellness Actually. Because you're getting a staggering amount of health and wellness information nowadays, and some of it is awesome. And some of it is, well, actually, bullshit. Fortunately, we're both people who know how to read studies, parse data, and can tell you what's worth trying out and what you can safely ignore. Each episode, we tackle the health news of the week and then take a deeper dive into a misunderstood health and wellness topic, like... What's the deal with peptides?

47:12What's the deal with GLP-1s? What's the deal with creatine? What's the deal with cupping? What's the deal with sleep? So join us for a weekly dose of sanity. It might actually be just what the doctor... Or the economist... Ordered. Listen to Wellness Actually on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

47:36In 2015, teenager Joy Morgan discovered strangely compelling YouTube sermons from the religious group Israel United in Christ. or IUIC. Her initial curiosity developed into devotion. She distanced herself from friends and family, embraced new identity, immersed herself in the IUIC, and believed she'd found the truth. IUIC is the best family that I've ever had. In fact, she had found what many called a cult. And on Boxing Day 2018, Joy disappeared forever. In the new six-part investigative podcast, The Missing Sister, Charlie Brinkhurst Cuff and Free Turn explore Joy's story, the family she left, and the religious group she found.

51:35Shannon Sharpe:Hey, it's a tough time to be dating now, boy.

51:38Joe Johnson:Hey, what? Hey, boy. I waved my white flag a long time ago.

53:21Shannon Sharpe:the thing was you know my problem was Ocho talk to me looking for perfection

53:25Joe Johnson:ooh take your time

53:27Shannon Sharpe:it ain't out of one boy she the perfect height she was the perfect complexion she had the perfect build she had the perfect bro you not gonna find all that in one you just listen I've come to the realization I've got to find a woman that have enough of the qualities that I'm looking for that I'm willing to overlook the ones that she don't have. It took me 57 years to realize that there is no such thing as perfection, although we constantly try to achieve it. Talk to him. So now I'm like, okay, that's enough. Right. You're enough. Yes. You're tall enough. You're fine enough. The complexion is enough.

54:14Shannon Sharpe:Everything is enough. Come on now. And it took me a while to realize that because I'm like, I'm trying to be perfect. Hell, I want the perfect person.

54:23Joe Johnson:Yeah, yeah, yeah.

54:23Shannon Sharpe:That's why I ate the way I ate. That's why I trained, because I was trying to be perfect. Shannon, and my sister just said, Shannon, you realize you're not going to be perfect, right? You realize you flawed. You are flawed. I don't know why. We all are.

54:38Joe Johnson:Yeah. I mean, I'm like. Listen, I would love to be a therapist. I would love to be a counselor for my sisters because they have expectations. And I love people having expectations and having wants and needs and wanting requirements for people that they date to meet those qualifications. You hear me? What y 'all laughing at?

55:02Shannon Sharpe:I'm listening, bro. Yeah. But here's the thing, Ocho. But stay with me real quick.

55:09Joe Johnson:I want to hear this one. What are the chances? If you ask a woman, Joe, if you ask a woman what is she looking for in a man you hear me and she'll run down the list of all the qualities and all the requirements that's that she wants and it's almost it's a build-a-bear it's not it's not real the expectations aren't realistic so everyone is looking for this this not not imaginary but you you'll meet a guy that that'll meet half of what you want And, you know, nah, he ain't no good. No, he work at Sears. Oh, he work at Macy's. I can't do nothing with that.

55:45Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Joe. Yeah. The easiest thing you'll do is to get with a person. Getting with is the easy part. Staying is what's hard. Man. Basketball came easy to Joe. Football came easy to you and I. But guess what we had to do? We had to practice. We had to study. we had to lift weights we had to train all that goes towards work yeah working you see everybody gets to the relationship and then that's it you've got to work every single day because the person that you met yesterday is not the person today the person that you go bed the bed with tonight gonna wake up and so now instead of finding a reason to break up can I find a reason to stay in the words of earth winning five can i find a reason just one can i find one

56:39Joe Johnson:reason to stay the reason that we love games been played all of our reason was a come on now take your time right so now it took me a while because i i i don't show man hey Damn. Damn. Nah, Shannon. Because at the end of the day, the way she look today,

57:04Shannon Sharpe:she ain't going to look like that 10 years from now. She ain't going to look like that from 20 years from now. And that booty that's up on her shoulders, it's going to be down by her knees. And you're going to need to pick it up and walk behind her. Because you know what? She walking in a silhouette that you can see. Now, when she get about 55, 60, it's going to be dragging in the sand on the beach. You're going to know where she went. Hey, what about my girl? Okay, I feel trialed. You know what I'm saying? And you got to accept that, Ocho. Because you know what? I walked by the mirror the other day, and I was like, damn.

57:43Shannon Sharpe:I ain't the same guy no more, Ocho. Hold on. You lost it? Ocho, I'm telling you. I used to pee in a boot from 25. feet away. That's how your arm was, Ocho. I ain't that no more. What happened? Hey, you say you ain't got it like you used to. I ain't got it like I used to. I'm like, well, damn. I'm like, I'm not terrible. Right. But I'm looking at how I once was. Right. And so if I were, if women were to judge me by what I used to be, as opposed to what I currently am, right. I ain't gonna get nobody. Damn. I know I used to, hey, I walked around at 235 with 5 % body fat. OK. 3%, 4 % body fat for years.

58:36Shannon Sharpe:Right. And so I was like, you know what? I need to give people grace like I'm asking people to give me grace. Hey. Hold on, what you saying? You fat now? Nah. No, I ain't fat. Oh, no, everybody, no stretch of the imagination. OK, OK. Hey, hey, I'm saying his bounce back ain't like it used to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's bounce back, ain't it? Yeah, yeah, Ocho. Ocho. Yeah, yeah. Damn. I'm just saying the baby arm ain't what it used to be. That's all I'm saying, Ocho. That's all. All right, that's it. We ain't going no further. 26. 26. I'm going to be back. Chat, stay with me till 26. My bad, Thanos.

59:14Shannon Sharpe:My bad, Thanos. Yeah. But you just, you have to come to the realization, man, And I've come to the realization that, hey, it is what it is. Hey, I ain't 27. I ain't 37. Hey, just got to keep kicking. Hey. I just put one foot in front of the other and just keep going forward.

59:41Joe Johnson:Well, we back.

I got these jokes. Hey, I ain't into joke telling business like quick, but I got some. But man, this... Man. You know what I'm saying? You know, you driving, you just spent a lot of time.

1:00:30Shannon Sharpe:Yes, sir. She say somebody, everybody going through something, son. Yeah. Come on.

1:00:34Joe Johnson:Come on, now.

1:00:34Shannon Sharpe:Boy, and when you in that storm, when you in the eye of the storm, the eye of the storm dropped down in New Orleans, Katrina, that was the eye. Yeah. Boy, you don't think, you don't know if it's ever. Mm-hmm. ever like when is this gonna be over how much longer man hello where do i go when does it end what that yeah hey but i at the idol storm could be i ocho i read a quote many many years ago it said a lesson that's not learned in blood is destined to be repeated

1:01:16Shannon Sharpe:I had a conversation with my brother probably about two months ago and he called me and I said well you know he obviously he knew what was going on because I called him and told him or heard a time and then something else came out then something else came out then ESPN came out he said Shannon there's a lesson in here somewhere for you to be going through what you're going through there is a lesson it's on you to figure it out yeah I said man I sure wish I would he said you know what he said no that's not the plan he said if you knew what it was you would circumvent the lesson right he said no but you'll figure it out yeah he said you'll figure it out and And people, when y 'all see me, I don't want y 'all to have the wrong impression.

1:02:17Shannon Sharpe:But I'm just very guarded now. I'm very, very guarded. I was always on alert. But I'm on high alert. Because I really don't know who I can really trust. because what I've seen over the last six months, there are very few people that you can actually trust. Yeah.

1:02:37Joe Johnson:Come on now. Yeah.

1:02:38Shannon Sharpe:Very, very, very few. Man. And there are people that said some things, and it's gotten back to me. Mm-hmm. But I was like, wow. Yeah. And you remember we had this conversation, Ocho, about being down and then people feel like they can pile on. Yeah. But I'm just very, I'm very matter of fact. I'm very, hey, how you doing? It's nice to meet you. I'm on my way I'm on my way because I don't want people yeah I had a conversation because if you stay too long Ocho the more people and this is what I had to learn and somebody told me this they say Shannon the more people you become involved with the more stories there is to be told

1:03:24Shannon Sharpe:circle gotta be crazy small the more people you're involved with Shannon the more stories there are to be told. Mm-hmm. Okay.

There are a lot of people on the peripheral when things were going well, we're at the apex and getting invited to everything. I'm talking about ain't called. Ain't called. And I'm talking about, we were talking once a month, twice a month. Right.

1:04:58Joe Johnson:Are we gonna come back? What I see. Yeah, and you know what I think about too, Unc and Joe, you had to think about, you know, Unc, what you had to go through. You know, I've been in the eye of that storm too now.

My circle was always small, so my same circle was right there, you know, to lift me up. But I already knew I was going to sit for a minute.

1:05:31Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

1:05:31Joe Johnson:For a long time. Joe, I had a, it was quiet up for maybe six years.

1:05:52Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

1:05:53Joe Johnson:And then you think I had a nerd to jump ship just because you're going through what I had to go through years ago. I know what it's like.
