Hey, our grandparents were equal opportunists. They did their own hunting. They did their own scalping. They did their own switch getting. And no, because they knew we wasn't going to come back with nothing of significance. They already knew us that well. So, you know, we ain't never had to go get our own.

I mean, there was a line one. Did I say it on show? That's how I get it. There was a line one. Y 'all don't want me to tell Papa, it's go caution.

27:42There was a, yeah.

27:44Shannon Sharpe:Them girls got suspended. Somebody got suspended. They got suspended from school? Huh? Oh, who got suspended? Oh. Because you don't know. Well, you better not tell Barney Porter you got suspended from school. So they got to get on the bus, just like they going to school, and drop off and just walk around the whole walk around downtown until school is out, get back on the bus and come back home well, you had to pay for my had to pay for my secrecy right Ocho, I should have killed Ocho, Ocho, in 1975 76 January, I should have killed him way back then bro, that joke is everything bro, it was just like you were It was like you were constantly nervous because, see, the thing was, is everything I did, I did with him.

28:41Right. But he never got the punishment. Like, not one time. You know he did. I was just, but you let him do. So come in. Because you let him.

28:56Shannon Sharpe:I was his response. How am I going to let him? Granny used to make him take, he wanted to go date. Granny said, you got to take Granny Garden. How am I going to keep him from setting Granny Garden on fire? People imagine the wind blowing at 700 miles an hour. We don't know what could happen, but you're going to blame me. So I'm walking around the truck because I'm trying to explain myself to him. Because I don't deserve to be down. See, this is what happened. So I'm walking around the truck. My sister knows that the more my grandfather walked behind me, the madder he getting. So she's just like going to make the decision that I should just go catching, holding, so he can get this over with.

29:43Because the more he walk away, the harder it's just going to get worse. So you had to tell.

29:51Shannon Sharpe:I made good little come up. I had a good little hustle, Ocho. Plus they were dating. You know, my aunt Mary Nell, she passed away. She was the one, and she would always take me with her. But she already knew, large milkshake, cheeseburger, fries, leave me in the car, wind the hat part down, I'm cool. She comes home with this piggy bank, well, it was a smiley face. And so she would put the spare change that she came across in there, but it was for him. so I should have killed him for the money back then but I didn't I should have there was you know it's tragic in some ways just thinking about like we would get a gun we would get the shotgun or the 12 gauge or the 30-30 and we would hey granny we going hunting she'd be like y 'all be careful that was that was the extent that was the extent I tell, like, every gun we had in the house, Joe, was loaded.

30:57Shannon Sharpe:There was never, there was never. And it never dawned on us. Like, you hear kids, somebody had an accident. He told you one time. This ain't nothing to play with. Dead is a long time. That's what he told me. He said, hey, boy, dead is a long time. He said, so if you go messing with, he had his.45, his Army.45 on the seat. He go, if you go messing with this right here, dead is a long time. Now, I didn't know what that meant, but I understood that that gun was not to be touched. And when you talk about our guns being loaded, I'm talking about one in the chamber. We ain't cocking nothing. When we grab it, it's time to go to work.

31:39Yeah, we ain't cocking nothing. There's one in the hole as we grew up. Then we were, we learned how to swim. We all got thrown in the same clay hole. Hey, I'm throwing you in. Get yourself out.

31:54Shannon Sharpe:but that was the thing joe we it never dawned on us to go get a gun and play with it because he had our first of all if somebody told that somebody went and got a gun you're gonna die anyway i wish you were dead man look here but it's like like and when papa died the gun still what was left because my uncle james took some of them but the guns were still loaded i was nine ten years old joe i go get the shotgun, I go get the rifle and go down there and try to kill squirrels or shoot the birds or whatever I could. At 19 years old, what 19-year-old you know now can go get a shotgun, go get a rifle and just walk off and go shoot it?

32:35It depends on where you live. You got to be in the country with nobody around. The next house is miles away. That's about the only place.

32:45Shannon Sharpe:Yes. Oh, and the chickens, we got into trouble. they could have ruined me because I killed Papa Bodrock. Boy, they were throwing them rocks. Let me tell you something now. Let me tell you something. My brother should have been a baseball player, Joe. He should have been a baseball player because what... I was acting with that rock, Joe. Hold on, I got to tell you a story. One day, we came up with the idea for entertainment. We in the road. Outside the house is dirt road. So it's all the rocks. So, Oach, we come up with the thing. He about 30, 40 yards away. So we throwing rocks at each other. You know, we trying to hit each other.

33:30But this is our entertainment, bro. This is our entertainment. So we trying to hit each other. So I think once or twice I might have got him on the leg or on the waist. So, bro, we throwing probably 600, 700 rocks trying to hit each other. So I'm down trying to pick up a rock. And you know how you get that, that, that, that, the hairs on the back of that weird feeling. Joe, I looked up. It was like in slow, it would come in slow motion. When nothing, when nothing I could do but take it. Hey, it was, it was one of the only times I ever quit a competition. It was one of the only times I ever quit a competition, Joe.

34:11I was like, man, it was, I was trying to find, you know, you're trying to get that rock that you can get that, that, that index finger so you can get that spin. And I was down there looking for it. When I looked up, it was like a slow motion.

34:26Wasn't nothing I could do.

34:29Shannon Sharpe:Joe, I could, Joe, I could kill birds with a rock. They'd be sitting on a branch. Yeah. That joke had a, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that daisy air rifle. How long I had that BB gun, Spanky? It's got to be 50 years old. It's got to be 50 years old. Damn. I'm saying it's got to be 50. I would have the birds lined up on the clothesline. Yeah, it's got to be 50. I'm 61. It's got to be 50 years old. It's got to be 50 years old. But let me tell you. Joe's about this long. That was Andy Oakley and all the other great shots. That's one thing he can do with that BB gun, dog. If it was out there, he brought it.

35:15Shannon Sharpe:I'm coming back. I'm coming back with Blue Jays, Red Cardinals. Thank God there was none on the endangered species list because he was killing them all. He was killing them all, dog. Everything. No, he was just putting them on the clothesline. I put them on the clothesline so they could feel. Trophy. Trophy. That's what I'm saying, Joe. I'm a trophy hunter, Joe. I'm a big name hunter, Joe. Hey, the Cardinals, that's one for free. Yeah, my brother had a bunch of them on the clothesline. And a bunch of the Blue Jays, a bunch of the Robins. It ain't no bad, Ocho. I'm telling you, when I come back, I got my team.

35:57We used to call them the more Red Belly Robins. Yeah, he used to have the clothesline. He used to have the clothesline full of them.

36:04Shannon Sharpe:You can eat a robin, Ocho and Joe. You can eat a Robin. Yeah. The more big red belly, big fat ones. Yeah. That's another thing, too. I was trying to get a quail, but I couldn't sneak up on him. That's another thing. That's another thing, too. He talked about all the stuff he ate. I didn't partake in a lot of the stuff that he ate. Because I was like chitlins. I never ate a chitlin. I've never had a chitlin in my mouth. After cleaning them, I was like, no, this is not going down that way. We're not doing that. Uh, uh, hog mall, pig feet. I know. Okay. Raccoons, squirrels. Yeah. I've never eaten a possum.

I eat pig ears, I eat pigtail, pig feet. Nope. I'll eat collards. I'm not eating mustard green. Nope. Not going to do that. I don't like rutabaga. Joe, if I can't, wait, that's what I got to eat is that or cornflakes. I'll take the carnation instant milk. I will mix it in water, and I will eat me some cornflakes. Yeah, but you ate that alligator turn. I tried it, and I was like, yep, never. I promise God, never again. Now I do. What, the alligator?

It's real smooth. They streamlined. Long, got a long, pointy nose. That's a saw shell. And then you got the alligator snapping turtle. Yeah. It got a tail, like a rib, like an alligator. How you cook it? How you cook it? Hey, hey.

40:34Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah. You know, I don't want to get rid of my 8-4 because this is the only, you know, I've had this since I got this. The first thing I bought when I got drafted.

We got to go hunting now. I'm not going to. I'll tell you what I will do. I'll hunt for you my golf ball if I do get it out of the fairway. But that's about as much hunting as I do. I ain't looking for nothing that day. Anything out there living in the wild, you good with me. And we're praying pranks on everybody. Man, I brag about six or seven tunes of toothpaste. because in the morning, I'm going to wake up in the morning and I'm going to put toothpaste on somebody's door.

41:55Shannon Sharpe:So when they walk out, I just pull the door. Because you know, ain't nobody looking. They just closed the door. Come on, Sharp. I'm ready to bed. Man, ain't nobody do that with Sharp.

42:06Shannon Sharpe:Man, I'll be like, so I go by the time I get to the cafeteria, Sharp. Man, you need to stop playing. So I said, what are you talking about? I just woke up. Nah, man, ain't nobody do that. But you stop playing. or we'll put rubbing alcohol and set it on fire. Hey, come on. Nah, man, Sean, leave us alone. Or we'll penny lock you in the room. You ever penny lock somebody in the room, Joe? Oh, Joe, Joe? How do penny lock? What that mean? Yeah. You take pennies, you know, it's just enough.

Nah, Sha 'am, you play too much. Five stinks all in your room. Oh, that's messed up. When you're moving like I do, trips don't always come together weeks in advance. Sometimes production shoots, interviews, or something I've got to travel for on a short notice. Like the time when I had the last minute trip to Denver and everything came together fast. Once it was locked in, I had to be ready to go. That's where Amazon Prime can make a difference.

On the day I decided to enroll in the nursing program at Rasmussen University, it was afternoon, my 35th birthday. I was hanging out with a friend, and they just questioned me what I was going to do with this next chapter of my life. I immediately had said, I want to go to nursing school. So I actually had contact information from an advisor at Rasmussen, contacted her, and actually ended up starting like three weeks later. My name is Cherish Adams, and I'm a Rasmussen University graduate.

58:21Shannon Sharpe:I got into it one time. For real? Yeah, me and CK. Because I was a rookie. When they moved me to tight end, obviously I had to go into the tight end room. CK was a vet. CK sat behind me. And every day, you know, I don't want to cause no trouble. My grandma said, boy, I don't send you nowhere. You know how to behave. You know how to act. Yes, sir. CK kept knocking my, so I have all my thing out. So I'm trying to take notes. So I have my notebook out. Man, it ain't where y 'all like to make me say this ninja would like kick the book and all my papers fired. So, you know, I got to rearrange them.

59:01Shannon Sharpe:Right. And so I thought, okay, it's a rookie. I'm a rookie. Okay, I'm going to eat this a couple of times. You know, one of them days, guys, you just don't even feel like being barber. Oh, snap bonk. You catch the right guy, but it just happened to be the wrong day. yep

I don't think you can beat me. Who broke it up? I ain't have nobody. They were just looking like, well, damn. I bet he said, I'm just playing. I bet he ain't do it no more. Because at that time, my eyes, when I get really, really upset, my eyes get really red and they start to water. I had a young lady that used to call me Beast.

1:00:19Shannon Sharpe:because when I get really upset, she's like, man, look at your nostrils.

1:00:25Shannon Sharpe:So she called me beast. Man, I was like, boy, look here. Had I been a, well, he wouldn't have done that if I was a vet. But he thought like, and see, I don't like all that picking. That's what they call, we call it, in the South, we call it picking, Ocho. They call it bullying now. Trying to bully, yeah. I don't do all that picking. And grown men don't play like that. I had no telling Mary to stop that, man. I was thinking the coach, the tight end coach was going to say something, but he didn't.

1:01:00Shannon Sharpe:That was it. And then I slapped the dude one time because he was playing. Damn, huh? You slapping people at work? Look here, man. When a man tell you to stop playing, what you do, Joe? Stop playing, hell. It was cold and he knocked the ball out of my hand. I'm talking about it was cold. I'm talking about I bundled up. I got two sweatsuits, two pair of sweatpants on. I'm talking about this cold out there. Come on, man. So he knocked the ball out of my hand. I said, man, stop playing. So, catch me a pass. I come back. He hit the ball, and the ball hit me in the face. And before I had knew it, I had them punched him down in his face.

1:01:46Shannon Sharpe:A little slight reaction. I'm talking about that thing I'm talking about I snapped he said man you for real they said that man just punched the shit at you what you think I went on about my business that was the end of that I bet he didn't do it no more nope I mean we didn't speak for a couple of days but we were cool after that I don't do our look we had a group that we used to play jokes on each other Me, Burns, House, AA dude named Allen Aldridge, rest his soul, he passed away. It was about four of us, and Foots. So we would play jokes on each other. Couldn't do it in the cafeteria, but if we saw you somewhere outside, like, man, Joke would be eating in his locker, and you come knock all his food out.

1:02:43Shannon Sharpe:Oh, okay, we did that in high school. We did it in high school. So check this out, Joe. Check this out, Joe and Ocho. This dude, I get my food. And Ray Jacobs, that's who it was, Ray Jacobs. So every day I would come with pancakes. I'd come with pancakes from LaPete. I'd get wheat germ pancakes, banana sliced on top. That's it. That's what I would get. I would park in the same spot every day. How about dude laying up under his car? Huh? He laying up on his car. I ain't thinking nothing about it. Man, I got my pancakes, got my orange juice. I'm just going to tear this up. How do you roll up on his car and just kick my bag right up out of my hand?

That's how my old boy did me. hey hey you know back in high school when we played that and you got something in your hand they slap it out your hand real quick and it hit the floor yes it's yours but it hit the floor though Joe so you can't eat it no more yeah I play three second rule boy three second rule I'm picking it up I'm eating mine you couldn't eat that because we hit it on the floor and just step on it oh you ain't eat that though Joe hey that's exactly what guys would do Talk about, oh, three-second rule, that's good.

We play games like if you had something in your hand and I liked it and I knocked it out, then it was mine. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I play three-second rule. We be in training camp, Ocho. I go around and screw the top off and just barely put it back on, all the salt and pepper shakers. So when they get some, all the pepper in the plate, all the salt on the food. Hey, boy, you man. What a good day. I did. I did. That was, hey, that was, that was, that was, that was, that was all the stuff that I wanted to do.

1:05:00Shannon Sharpe:I said, I couldn't wait. They got me, Joe. Yeah, yeah. I got to get my get back. Yeah. I hated when, because that was my, in 2003, my last year playing, we had training camp at the facility. That's when they had started, you know, bringing in and we didn't go back to Greeley anymore. But to go to Greeley, to be in that dorm, because we stayed at UNC, University of Northern Colorado, up in Greeley. Man. Oh, we stayed in some mess. Oh, man. Oh, Ocho, Ocho would have been mad. Oh, we got Ocho. Who? We got Ocho. You're a rookie. Nah, but y 'all would've loved me. Y 'all wouldn't mess with me. Yeah, we would've.

1:05:47Shannon Sharpe:And you're a rookie, yeah. And then we the guys that go bad, and you like, oh, I'm getting me somebody back. Yeah. They make something up to get you, Ocho. It don't matter if you're doing everything right. They gonna make something up. It's all good. It's all good. You only a rookie once, Ocho. Yeah, you right. You right. And then guess what? you're going to be a vet longer than you're going to be a rookie. Rookie, yeah. So guess about all the rookies that come in after you. Yeah. See, I let all the rookies slide that came after me. I was a good sport about it too, Uncle Joe. I was a good sport about it.

1:06:55Hey,

1:06:59Shannon Sharpe:the worst thing, the worst thing in the NBA was when they made you, as rookies, they make all the rookies carry these little girl backpacks. You had to wear, You had to carry like a pink backpack, Ocho, or it may have to be clear to where you can see everything. Oh, man, it might be a butterfly backpack. Door to explore. Oh, man, oh, yeah, door to explore, all that. Yeah, yeah, whole season. But that's gone on. What we did was passed down. They had been doing that for like 40, 50 years, Ocho, Joe. Yeah. Damn.
