Nightcap Hour 1: Udonis Haslem CLAPS BACK at Draymond Green + Sterling Sharpe JOINS and CONFIRMS CHILDHOOD STORIES

18:18Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. That was Jordan Poole's mistake. Yeah. First of all, somebody got that hostility, you don't let them walk up on you. You get off the first one. Now, if he's still standing on that, you might have to take off running. But if you get off a clean shot and he's still standing, you're going to get your ass whooped anyway. Hey, well, two things you got to have, right? I'm not sure where Jordan Poole grew up. I don't know anything about his background. I don't either, Joe. You always have to understand, for one, spatial awareness. Yes. Spatial awareness, you know, and understanding and having self-awareness, especially when you when you get into it with somebody i think maybe jordan pool thought well we're in a structured environment you know we're at practice i don't expect anything like that to happen here but that's what most of the time we'll know in general it it happens so i mean it happens what they do oh joe what they do that at joe what they do that at where you argue you don't see pickups you know all of a sudden if two people and obviously i'm saying a football field but in a basketball court.

19:16Shannon Sharpe:The basketball gym is only, the practice gym is only so big. So you could hear everything he's saying. And that man getting closer and closer. And y 'all still, the elevation is in both of you guys' voice. Right.

19:28Chad Johnson:Yeah.

19:28Shannon Sharpe:And you let that man close the distance to be able to get that shot up on you?

19:32Chad Johnson:Yeah, because if you see the video, Jordan Poole kind of pushed him first. And then that's when he came with the, you know. But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, you know, I don't really know, bro. I think in certain situations, certain guys, he wasn't thinking that Draymond was gone. He ain't thinking. I mean, this is my damn teammate. Yeah, we're going to have disagreements. We're going to be pissed at each other. But see, basketball and football are different. Do you have fights in the locker rooms? Hell yeah. But I bet you in football, hell, it's 52, 53 on the damn team. It's way more fights in football than it is in basketball, especially doing teammates.

20:08Chad Johnson:Y 'all play a gladiator sport. You know what I mean?

20:12Shannon Sharpe:It's just a difference. And you know why, Joe? Because as you said, there's so much testosterone, and ain't nobody willing to let nobody punk them. So somebody might be willing to take an ass cut just to prove a point. You not finna punk me. Especially when you start that, when that voice starts elevating, you know though, Joe. We've all done been around, we done been in a fight. I ain't been in no 15, I ain't no professional fighter. But I've been in enough fights, and I've seen enough situations. I'm like, okay, let me try to defuse this, because I already see where this thing is heading.

20:43Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah.

20:44Shannon Sharpe:Ain't nobody backing down, and ain't nobody going back down unless somebody try to let cooler heads prevail. I'm like, hey, man, come on, man, bro. We don't need this. Nah, that ain't. I'm going to see if he really own what he talking about.

20:55Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah, yeah. You really got to have somebody to step in and deescalate the situation. Because even though we teammates, you know, man, when them emotions get high, boy, you ain't studying all day. You ready to go backyard.

21:06Shannon Sharpe:Damn that teammate. I don't know you. I ain't never seen you before. A day of my damn life. Bang. Bang. Good God, you acting reckless. And there are certain keywords, all that. Hey, suck my you know what, you a B. You're my, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Matter of fact, we have one trigger word down here in Miami. Actually, two trigger words down here in Miami. If you call anybody this, it's time to go. I don't care where you're at. Yeah. School, graduation, it's on. You call somebody a fuck, nigga?

21:37Chad Johnson:Yeah. Man, listen, man. Hey, tell your grandma, take a church hat off. I'm glad I know your trigger word now, I got you. Hey, listen. Don't play with yourself like that.

21:51Shannon Sharpe:Oh, this fuck thing. And I get what Bam said, Draymond, you 32, 33 years old. That's a 23-year-old. He ain't expecting that. He's not expecting this OG. But you have to like, okay, we're in the arc. the mere fact that we're in an argument lets me know that, hold on, this ain't normal.

22:13Chad Johnson:Yeah.

22:13Shannon Sharpe:Have you seen, have you ever seen Draymond get in an argument with Clay? Have you ever seen him get in an argument with Loon? Have you ever seen him get in an argument with Steph? So you got to, hey, you got to like, okay, I got to maneuver this, man. Hold on, wait a minute. And he getting close and close. And like you said, Joe, he pushed him. Man, that man done walked up on you. Yeah. He done closed the discus. Yeah. No. Yeah, I'm sorry.

22:39Chad Johnson:It's super unfortunate, but I disagree with Draymond because it's a whole total different situation, bro.

22:45Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, that man wasn't talking about you. Yeah, yeah. What the story is, the legend, is that he was talking about how he was cooking him. Yeah. I mean, in practice.

22:53Chad Johnson:Yeah.

22:54Shannon Sharpe:Tyler Hero allegedly was saying stuff, and somebody took a screenshot of it.

22:59Chad Johnson:Right, right.

22:59Shannon Sharpe:That's a whole different. I don't believe Bam would have just gotten to an argument. Nothing. All of a sudden, they stay teammates. and all of a sudden they get into an argument about something. I don't see that happening. I don't know. People get mad and people say things. You know, sometimes, hey, a lot of times when people get upset, they've been dying to tell you that anyway. Yeah. They just did an opportunity that never presented itself, Joe, for them to tell you how they really felt about you. This was the opportunity to really tell you how they really feel. And then the other report came out that says, you know, Jimmy Butler allegedly distanced himself from Bam because they felt Bam was untouchable, the Heat organization.

23:41Shannon Sharpe:And I read there are other people in the Heat organization and I don't know. I mean, I'm just rereading and I'm like, whatever. It is what it is. But I'm just saying, I don't agree with Dre on this one. I understand his point he's trying to make. But it's the question is, if Tyler Hero doesn't say what he says about Bam, does Bam have the reaction that he has? I don't believe he does. I don't know Bam. All I know is Bam what I see on television. I don't know the man.

24:12Chad Johnson:Nah, it's certain stuff you can keep in house, even if there's rumors about you and maybe you even know them to be true. But when somebody posts something about you, bro, it's different. Hey, when we see each other, at least we gotta rap about it, you feel me? Yes, for sure. You know what I mean? I don't know if Bam just felled away and just stole off on him, but damn, bro, this how you been feeling the whole time?

24:35Shannon Sharpe:Well, that seems to be the consensus that he walked up and, hey, what's really power? Damn, you didn't even know what's wrong. You didn't get wrong, guy. You just said what's with power. But like I said, I don't know, bam. And that's the thing also, Joe and Ocho, you know this. You got to know a person's disposition. You got to know who you can joke with. You got to know who you can play with. You got to know who you can like certain things. like hey certain people you can't make no jokes right about their family about their kids about anything you make a joke about guys uh uh uh play and do be ready to fight i'm going left hell my grandma could have caught that one yeah man what way hey charlie let that go oh i'll let it go just like you let that ball go you know i'm saying yeah But you got to know, because everybody don't play like you play.

25:29No, no. You got to be aware, Unc. It's all about self-awareness, knowing who you can joke with, especially in a locker room with 53 players. You know who to play with, you know who not to play with. I had this problem. You know how I play around, Unc. Remember, I don't think you was there yet. When Zeus, Orlando Brown. Orlando Brown. Man, Joe.

25:48Shannon Sharpe:I had retired when he came back to Baltimore. Yeah, boy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had already retired, Ocho. Whatever. It's a story, Joe. We had that warming up before the game started. You know how the players warm up? I'm like, golly, man, dude, big as hell. Mind you, me being my funny self, I wouldn't have jumped on his back. You know how people jump on your back? Yeah. On his back. You didn't know him? No, I ain't know him. I ain't know him. But I thought, you know, when he saw it was me, he was gonna be cool. Yeah. Man, Uncle Joe, man, that nigga tried I had to whoop my ass on the field, boy. I had to run to the locker room just to finish warming up.

26:25I had to go get Big Willie. I had that Big Willie come out and talk to him. And Orlando Brown Jr., he talk about that story all the time every time I seen him, man. Rest pop soul, man. Hey, everybody don't play the same though. I learned the hallway. Because he was, hey, Joe, he was dead serious.

26:42Shannon Sharpe:No, he wasn't a guy that really messed around like that. And I'm like, I'm just playing, man. He's like, I don't give a fuck. Who the fuck do you think I am? and he'd be jumping on my back.

26:51Chad Johnson:Yeah. And he squared up with me and I, man, I took off to the locker room, man. Hey, hey, hey, I bet you didn't jump on nobody else damn back, did you? Well, yeah, Ray Lewis. Yeah, you saw what I did. I gave Ray that work. Come on, hey, but you right, though. You don't know, bro. And you take a guy's demeanor for granted. He may have been thinking like, man, I ain't never seen Bam pissed off. He ain't gonna do nothing with those.

27:17Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, mess around and find out. and what happened if the day that you want to joke he's having the worst day of his life oh you're gonna you're gonna catch the repercussions uh you don't know what somebody endured while they were a child oh man you don't know their background because remember now when you deal with an individual lady deal with a guy guy deal with a lady you're not just dealing with her you're dealing with her past you dealing with her trauma yeah so you don't know it might be a situation that somebody has said something to him and he wasn't in a situation where he could defend himself like he can now yeah now you put him right back in the situation that he had hoped he'd never be in but he can defend himself now yeah now you got hell on your hands now you got the aid everybody and you got to be a hostage negotiator to talk his ass down.

28:14Shannon Sharpe:I'm just saying.

28:16Chad Johnson:And now you got a black eye. Yeah. Playing.

28:20Shannon Sharpe:Now it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, cause I like, it's like, you walk around on the team. Y 'all still got to be teammates and this man done whipped you. I mean, how that worked? Oh, how that worked? Hey. I'm just saying, Chad, I don't know. because I've been on team when we had fights and you know, I ain't know everybody know. I was kind of like the voice of reason. I'm trying to keep peace with everybody, defense, offense but then sometimes, hey you say something about somebody's mama and his mama's dead. What's up? What's up? Hey, I have how many fights you didn't know that? You ain't never had no fights in training camp, especially training camp.

29:03No.

29:03Shannon Sharpe:Nah, hell nah, man. Oh, Joe. Man, it's 100 degrees. We're going to be out there two hours. I'm saving that energy. Yeah, I had one fight. I'll never forget. I had one fight with our safety at the time. I think it was, I don't think, I don't know if you remember, his name was Madhu Williams. He was good. He was nice. I do, I know, yeah. Really, really solid safety. And we got into it. I forgot what it was. Maybe he hit me after a play or something like that. But, yeah, it wasn't long. We just, you know, a little scuffle.

29:28Chad Johnson:Yeah. That was it. That was the only time I ever had a fight. And I was in training camp at Georgetown. And probably we had that fight, we was tired of playing against each other. Yeah. Yeah. He probably overly aggressive. Yeah. Oh Joe. Huh? He was overly aggressive. I think so. I think he might've been. And knowing that, okay, we got the pads on. If anything, just thud me up. Of all players that actually hit, don't hit me. Yeah. We need, hey Joe, don't hit me. We need to hit you on Sunday. You know, and I just, you know, well, Marvin said, well, Marvin hit that whistle. Man, you motherfuckers don't get y 'all that.

30:09And then that was the end of it right there.

30:12Shannon Sharpe:Dang. No, I ain't. Because I already know. Well, we're not practicing hard enough. If you got that kind of energy to fight, we're not practicing hard enough. Let's go. Another 30 minutes. Bro, we out there hour 45 already. Yeah. And in two a day? Oh, man. nah bro now if you brought you know you have a joint practice on joe that's something entirely different yeah now that's always a fight no matter what time man what you want to do man hey let's get out of this practice every play joe hey hey hey hey cut it out hey get his ass out of there somebody in there get in there hey next play same thing same thing You know what's funny, Joe, Uncle Joe?

30:57Chad Johnson:What's that? Every year on ESPN, they have these long think pieces about joint practices and everybody fighting. Mind you, I've been retired now 13 years, and every joint practice, it's a fight, and they get on ESPN acting like, oh, my goodness. I can't believe they fighting in training camp. I can't. Hello, have y 'all ever been in an organized activity with two different teams competing with pads on? Hey. That's gonna always be a fight. And plus, hell, y 'all tired of playing against each other. So once you do play against somebody else, all that testosterone started to come out because y 'all playing a sport that's built off contact.

31:40Chad Johnson:Yeah, y 'all looking for it. Y 'all looking for the confrontation.

31:45Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Joe.

31:46Chad Johnson:Yeah. Joe, we play a sport that was built on intimidation. That's a good one, that's a good one.

31:54Shannon Sharpe:We're trying to move a man. We're trying to break a man's spirit. That's what football was founded on. You got a plot of land. I got a plot of land. My job is to try to get as far as I can on your plot of land. Your job is to try to get as far as you can on my plot of land. I ain't going nowhere. Because I know if you keep setting up shop on my side, pretty soon you're going to own the real estate, and I ain't going to have nothing. Hello. Hello. I like that. And it's so funny. If you think about it, Uncle Joe, I mean, obviously y 'all see me in person, Joe, you see me, Uncle, you see me for years is the intimidating factor is I wasn't able to do it because I'm not imposingly intimidating at all.

32:41I tried to intimidate as well but I played the mental game trash talking now if I can get you out your game I'm going to get you out your game up here not with this because I don't have that so I had you talking trash to get you out your game if I can get you angry I got you I got you by this much I just need to get you angry I need to get you to converse with me which is why I never wore a mouthpiece joke I ain't wearing a mouthpiece on purpose if I can get you in a conversation I got him all game

34:26Shannon Sharpe:Okay. Our very special guest joined us, man. Hey. Hey. Hey, what's going on, man? Where are you? He muted. Hey, you muted. Spank, you muted.

34:42Shannon Sharpe:You still muted, bro? All right, how about now? Yeah, you got it. All right, all right. I'm in New Jersey. I'm getting ready for the O.J. Anderson golf event tomorrow, followed by Cool and the Gang on Tuesday. That's right, Cool and the Gang. Yeah, Cool and the Gang. Cool and the Gang performed at our first Super Bowl show. our party. Oh, yeah, that's right. Okay, that's right. That's right. Yeah. So, hey, you know what, man? Everybody asks that you've been retired. You've been retired three decades now. So, what's a typical day for school? Ooh, in the summer, none of this hot. A typical day is, bro, you got to get up early to get out there and get that golf in before it get too hot.

35:24You don't want to be, hey, hey, bro, you know, we don't want to be reminded about being in the tobacco field. So, we got to get out there and get it in. No, no, I'm good. But that's pretty much it, man. I get a chance to enjoy my friends. My daughter is self-sufficient now at 32 years old, so don't have to really worry about her. You know, I got my brother out of the house. I got my mom out of the house, my grandma out of the house. Man, I'm living for me right now. My sister is still in the house, but she good. I'm living for me right now.

35:59Shannon Sharpe:You keep talking about your friend. You got one friend. HG and C. Lee and where's the G? So my question is, why you put my business in the street? Huh? Yeah.

36:13Shannon Sharpe:Man, you know what? People are, you always call me and say, man, people always ask you when they see you. Say, man, I heard your brother say this on Nightcap. Man, is that true? Is that true? You say that's the number one question that you get when people see you. and they're like, man, your brother said this about your grandfather. Is that true, man? Did your grandfather really say this? Did your grandfather really do this? Yes. When I see the clips myself, I usually comment like, yeah, he did do that. He did say that. You told the story about Granny hooking me in the eye lead sitting behind her as she's fishing throwing the pole.

36:56I'm like, that happened. it. I'm like, he, he kind of glossed over the story where you set the field on fire and then went back and told Papa that somebody did it. He said it was you boys. I got the punishment for that. You know? So, uh, it's, it's interesting because, because you're three years younger than me. It's just interesting of the stories you remember and how you remember them with the accuracy of, you know, you couldn't tell about the beating that I got for you setting the field on five because you didn't experience that.

37:33Chad Johnson:Hey, but he used to tell it though, didn't he? Joe, let me tell you. If you want to know where the Lindbergh baby is, don't tell him. If you want to know where Amelia Earhart is, don't tell Shannon. Because if Shannon know it, you don't have to bribe him. He's going to tell it for free. He's giving you up for free.

37:57Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I told a story. I was telling Joe the story about we watched it. We watched the Pope. I gave us two dollars to wash the truck You watch the body I watch the tires All right, first of all Joe we watched the car totally wrong you supposed to watch the car from the top down We started from the bottom up. So he So by the time that dishwash detergent that we were using to wash the car, by the time we got to the, by the time I got to the top, you know, the brake dust and everything had already just eaten that detergent up. He came out there and looked at that mess and he was like, boy, y 'all, first of all, he threatened us because he was like, boy, y 'all, y 'all know y 'all need your ass well for doing this.

38:45Okay, that's the first thing he said. And then he was just, you know, because it was one of the few times that he allowed us to do something without instructing us. So it didn't go well. I don't even think we got the$2 because let me tell you something else. I don't know if Shannon told you guys this, but what he would do was is he would pay us$2 to wash the car and then charge us$1 to take us to the store. and there was no, you know, you'd be like, hey man, give me some of them Skittles and get me a Reese's Cup. No, sir. There was no buying for somebody. If you didn't pay the dollar, everybody had to pay that toll.

39:30So he was that true.

39:33Shannon Sharpe:See, when I tell people that, they're like, man, it wasn't like that. He told me because he came out there because Fagas said, hey, go tell Papa we done finished with the car. Joe, I go in the house just like he instructed me to, just like a good little brother supposed to do when his big brother tell him to do something. So I go get Papa. I said, Papa, you done. He come out there, he put his overalls on, he got one strap hanging. He come out there, he look at you. I should whip y 'all asses what I should do. That's what he said. He said anything, he said anything. But yeah, he was like, man, Joe, he was, hold on.

40:11You didn't tell him the one about how he used to, sometimes he would make you feel so stupid. Now, for lack of a better word, Joe, we washed the car. Now it's time to wax it. So instead of saying, hey, go over and grab the wax, he says, hey, Spanky, go get that jaywax. Like, whoa, what's the jaywax? so i'm looking joe i'm like this so i'm looking at the jay wax and and i'm like but i'm looking at the wax but i'm looking for the jay wax they hey boy boy get that jay what eat him up jay wax eat him up because it was it was so close to me if it was a snake it would have been me but he he did things like that but it's amazing though that shannon has the memory being three years because when Popeye died you would have been what?

41:11Nine? Eight? Nine? Eight. I would have been nine on my birthday when I was eight. And so for him to remember and he was not in the fire as much as I was. I mean if I were to start a podcast and start telling these stories these folks would arrest Barney Porter. They would dig him up and arrest his ass for the thing. Joe Joe this is you start back talking because I don't want to talk too much but Joe I used to sleep with him. Shannon slept with my grandma I slept with him he would wake me up at 2 in the morning make me ride with him to the truck stop he got eggs grits, toast he got the pancakes with the syrup he got coffee and he would look at me and say you don't want to eat this because you're going to eat cereal in the morning

42:03Shannon Sharpe:he takes bacon to watch him eat Guys, the reason he nicknamed me Spanky is he couldn't say Sterling. So he was like, that boy there named Spanky. I ain't calling him whatever that you named him. I don't know where you get that fancy name from. His name's Spanky. And to this day, there's two people that still call me Spanky. My brother and my homeboy, Calvin McNeil, are the only two people that call me that. Hey, what about we got in trouble for cutting the ground? Wait, which place? Which is crazy now how we got in trouble. If he showed you a way to do something, you had to do it that way. So you couldn't cut.

42:44I'm like, it's cutting grass. So he. You can't get that wrong, though. Yes, you can. Yeah, because if he was going from the house to the web and you went from the road to the chicken coop or to the horse pen. he'd lose his mind it is now it wasn't in

43:12Shannon Sharpe:it wasn't in cause he gonna come out the first thing he gonna ask you who told you to do this so you know Joe we gotta push him we thought we he asked more rhetorical questions than anybody on the planet. Hey, hey, who told y 'all to do this?

43:41Because I know if you answer this question, whatever answer you give is going to be wrong, and there was consequences and repercussions. For any answer you got, for any answer you gave, let me tell you. Yes.

43:57Shannon Sharpe:Hey, let me ask you a question, Frank. How is he about being late? Could you be late? You know, you said Harold Green is my best friend, bro. The only falling out me and Harold have ever had was he was late coming to my house. But we leave and drive into Atlanta. He's supposed to be at my house at seven. He gets there by 735. But I'm steaming. The one thing Barney Porter was not going to you wasn't going to be as late. That's not going to happen to him. He is not going to. He is not going to have you attempt to be late. because if you don't respect Barney Porter's time, there was consequences and there was repercussions.

44:35It's always that way. You were going to respect his time because you respected him. He was that way. He was definitely that way. But, yeah, Shannon, boy, let me tell you. But his podcast thing, I know you guys, man, y 'all doing a heck of a job and I enjoy it. But, Shannon, man, you're talking too much. You're putting all our business in the street. that's why our sister don't want him to write a book because boy, he's like, look Shannon my sister got so fed up with Shannon talking about us growing up in a house without running water that she almost disowned it

45:14Shannon Sharpe:but see Spank when we tell them because Grandma Lou had the old little house on the prairie the prime pump that you pour the water in and the water comes from the bottom and when I tell people that tell my man that was for that's from the 50s and 60s i said how you gonna tell me something i experienced i ain't telling you about the experience that i read about i'm telling you about a little tell the boys about what we put in the well to get to keep the bugs out so we didn't bring up a well uh bugs when we brought up the bucket what we put in there catfish put a catfish in the way wait catfish what'd that do catfish would eat the bugs see the catfish would come up and eat the So when you lower the bucket, you ain't going to get a bucket full of books.

45:59You're getting pure water. I can't tell you if it works. I'm just telling you what we did.

46:08Shannon Sharpe:Hey,

46:12Shannon Sharpe:with Jim, rest your soul, Eugene, our first cousin, Eugene, brother, sister, kid. We was walking up and walking towards Sammy Kirkland house. Big old red walls beside the barn. everybody and we ain't you know what i don't know what made him joe man let's see who hit that wall's nest now i'm the youngest arnell is the oldest by seven eugene is the next oldest by six spank is the next oldest by three land is two years older than me i'm the youngest yeah this had to be i could have been no more than six at least yeah you're about six so so we take a turn We tried to pick Joe. We were firing at that thing, bro.

46:52Shannon Sharpe:And just right on cue, Eugene hit it. They take off. They gone. Well, I take off, but it's a little bit too late. Man, they tore me up. Yes, they did. They locked me up, Joe. Hey, Joe. Hey, how did I get you? He couldn't run fast enough. I couldn't run fast enough, Ocho. You got to realize I'm six years old. RL 13, UG 12, spanking nine, landing eight. Hey, fellas, he likes to talk about what kind of athlete he was. He ain't never had wheels, though. He was always a dump truck on the highway. He was always in the way. Hey, I take off running. They stop running. They laughing. I run straight to the house because I won't get them in trouble.

48:04Shannon Sharpe:That joke, hey, he was very matter of fact. He did not have an empathy or sympathy bone in his body. if he told you if he promised you something set your clock back it was gonna happen every time i'm gonna tell if he said i'm gonna tell your ass well he didn't tell you that he just or if he looked or if he gave you that looking church your rest of your day was ruined because you knew it was it was like i don't know exactly when but it's because you know like on the fourth sunday man was the time that we got a chance to work on our athletic moves because all our cousins would come over. Our aunts and my grandma would cook.

48:44So we eating, we eating cake. Oh, so we doing it up big, dog. We doing it big.

48:50Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah. So you done forgot about the look you got when the pastor was praying or, no, when one of the deacons, either Deacon Joe Schar or Nathan Maynard were playing. Yeah, he took over Mr. Leo. So when you kind of was nodding off that dozing because you should have gone to bed early. And when you, you know, when you wake up, you look, the first thing you do is look over in that deacon corner to our left to see if he looking. And he looking at you and just, you know, amen, amen, amen. You don't forget all about it, boy. You get the brakes beat off you. Hey, about 930 that night, get the brakes beat off you.

49:34Yeah.

49:35Shannon Sharpe:Damn. He was different. he was different and I think I thought Spank had the most of his ways I think once we grew up and the way we grew up but now that I sit back and think about it I think I'm more like him you more public you more public and see see Barney Porter would have never done a podcast don't know he'd have never done a podcast Barney Porter would have never done a podcast with you two guys either so So there's two things that Barney Porter would have never done. And he always kept self close to the vest. Like he would say things to us that he wouldn't say to other cousins or to his sons.

50:25Because I spent more time with my Uncle Thurman, who was a farmer with him and him. So I learned how to be a man from them two. but his you can say you are more like him but Libby would say that

50:41Shannon Sharpe:I think my matterisms I think the lateness I think but you but Shane you public you public though so you you have a persona where you ain't like you know you ain't jovial all the time you ain't you ain't on nightcap you ain't on nightcap. You ain't on Club Shea all the time. So you kind of have to be Barney Porter would have never done a podcast. Barney Porter ain't never coming out letting you know what he thinks. He ain't never doing that. And if he don't like something he's going to say he don't like it and he really don't care what your act or reaction is. This is what he believes. So if you don't like it you don't like it over there which is fine you you know there's a scene which is really crazy about this movie lean on me there's a scene where the assistant principal said you can't throw the the fire chief out and joe clark says yeah he's saying that too but you know where he's saying it he's saying that in the parking lot that's how barney was he would he he gave you his mind and there was no retort or you know let me come back to you on that that was this is my way and

52:02Chad Johnson:there's the road over there hey hey that's yes indeed yes indeed y 'all know how it is hey they remind me i'm telling you remind me so much when i hear i'll talk about uh uh his grandpa it remind me of nolan richardson bro when i played at the university of arkansas hey man it wasn't a lot of you know kiki ha ha ha pat you on your back you know good job it wasn't hey man it was not a lot of that bro I'm talking about when he came in when he came in my mother's living room so you gonna send him to me as a boy I'm gonna send him back that's what happens Barney we do this a couple of times at our golf course we be sitting around and they be like talk about words you never heard your parent or guardian say so I'm like my grandpa good job never heard him say that that uh yeah uh that's right never heard him say that not to us no i'm saying to us never heard him say good job never heard that was right never heard that uh keep doing what you're doing no whatever you did was wrong until he stopped doing it whatever you did was wrong until he

53:13Shannon Sharpe:stopped doing so i told joe the story the last probably like the last two years of his life How did Papa sleep? On his knees. He couldn't sleep in the bed. So he knelt down either by the sofa or in the bed. Well, on the side of the bed. He couldn't sleep in the bed. He slept on his knees.

53:33Chad Johnson:Hold on, but why he couldn't sleep in the bed? And I usually don't say that because usually when people say honestly, they get ready to lie. But he couldn't sleep in the bed because he thought somebody put a root on. Yeah, my grandpa. Yes, indeed, my boy. Yes, sir. And I ain't going and I'm not even going to tell you that somebody came over, did some things outside his bedroom window and a half and a jar of frogs and lizards and snakes. I ain't going to even tell you all that popped up. And I ain't going to even tell you that the person that did this opened his jar and said, Barney, if you see how this frog is dried up, if that whole frog would have dried up.

54:19There ain't nothing nobody could have done for you. I ain't even going to tell you that. Because I know you're not going to believe it. Because us standing now, we don't believe it. To this day, we still don't believe it. Do we, Shane? And that's what happened. That is a true story. Damn. You think stuff like that is real, though? Roots? Okay, now the Bible I read says no. So I'm going to say no. I'm going to say that ain't real. I'm going to say that ain't true. But in 1975, it was.

54:49Shannon Sharpe:It was in 1975. Yeah. Because if you, the problem was is that what he said, he believed it. That's right. Right. Yeah, he believed it. So people like, man, I ain't scared of the dead because the dead can't do anything. They can't hurt you. They can make you hurt your damn. They sure can. I tell you what you don't ever see. You don't ever see anybody walking through a cemetery at night. They always in the herd. You know, they're walking through the cemetery at night. Everybody always in the herd. Always.

55:20Shannon Sharpe:And I told a story about when he got into it, and that had to be – that might have been 74, 75. Because the front porch was like right here. His bedroom, his bed was right there. As you walk to the doors on the right, yes. Yeah, and his brother kept thumping me, thumping me on my head. Yeah. And he had a saying, Ocho. He said don't – Don't. He detested it. He despised it. He said if you thump a kid on his head, you'll make a weak head, and he won't learn. Now, I ain't saying that ain't true either based on your grades in high school. So I ain't saying that ain't true. But, no, he was as adamant about that as being late.

56:06He did not play you. Hit the kid anywhere else. Do not thump the kid on the head. Don't do it. Which is really weird, but. Yeah, that was him. That was definitely

56:19Shannon Sharpe:He kept thumping me and I kept Oh stop stop And you can hear Joe he always He get up putting them cobras on You can hear the change in his pocket He got that one strap He come out there Now he talking to his He talking to his brother He talking to his brother You hit that boy One more time And you know when he said that Everybody was like bristled because he wasn't threatening. My grandfather was never really threatening like that. And, hey, hey, you hit that boy one more time. And everybody, like, froze. And I drew a blank because I had never seen that side. Actually, that might be the only side, the only time that that came out.

57:10Because I don't think he ever, he and his best friend, Virgil Wiggins, I don't think they ever had any. No, I think that might have been the only time I've ever seen my grandfather mad. And I'm talking about old school Southern mad. And what y 'all won't remember is back in the day when old folks got mad, they handled it with a straight razor or a pistol. There wasn't no going outside throwing fists. They were getting ready. Somebody was either going to the hospital or to the morgue. They were getting it in. and I think that's the only time I saw Papa that was yeah he was he was done because and Shannon was the baby so he was a little bit he was a lot a bit different than how if he had been thumping me on the head my grandfather would have said work but Shannon was a little bit different too he made sure like if Shannon would have had to go to the truck stop, Shannon would have got to eat what he ate.

58:19So, you know, Shannon, well, you know, as the baby, Shannon, I am probably more proud of what he turned into because Joe, he wasn't supposed to be, he ain't supposed to be there. He ain't supposed to be where he is right now. He ain't supposed to be as successful as he is right now. He ain't supposed to be as articulate as he is, even though sometimes he gets his words mixed up and he gets excited and they don't come out right. It's okay. I know what he's saying. Joe, I know what he's saying. I know what he's saying. But he was, for that time, he got enough of what that time was. man it's it's it is uh and and these stories are these are just a few of the stories i mean when my my grandfather was gonna kill his own brother over over my brother that that's how he felt about shannon that's how he was the bait he was basically my grandfather's baby even though my uncle james is his baby boy that's how he thought about shannon so he's gonna kill him

59:31Shannon Sharpe:he's going to kill his brother over Shannon he's going to kill his brother over Shannon that's how and he left Ocho, check this out he left his place, he can tell you he never came back and when my grandfather died he wouldn't go into church yes sir yes sir I'm talking about it's kind of funny spiritual as they were man look when they hated they hated when they were angry but there was no I'm sorry ain't no coming back from that you know cause boy what you saying man yeah my I'm trying to think I don't know how they got together because they were the total opposite now Grady would get mad but she wasn't like Yeah, my grandpa.

1:00:32Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Papa, you never saw him without that.45 in your back pocket. You never saw him anywhere. You just carry straight raises, too. Yeah, hey, boy. Hey, two things a man should always carry. A wallet. And a straight razor or a gun. That's the two things. A wallet or a straight razor or a gun. I was five years old, Ocho, and had a wallet. I had a bill put in my back pocket. And because we were robbing him, he didn't know it. He started carrying a chain on his wallet. Because we were taking money out to buy ice cream.

1:01:10I'm telling y 'all this.

1:01:12Shannon Sharpe:I've already asked for forgiveness. So I'm telling y 'all, as y 'all know, I've already asked God for forgiveness. But, man, you know what, Joe? Oh, Joe, fellas, I will say this. You know, a lot of people can pinpoint one or two things. I don't think I'm here this way, you know, getting a chance to play golf all over the country, getting a chance to enjoy my NFL friends, my celebrity friends, without that upbringing. I don't think I'm here. I don't think that that discipline of I'm we've been working, you know, because in the Bible, it says, you know, do things not for your human master, but for your heavenly one.

1:01:53But I've been working for God all my life because the way Barney Porter had you do stuff. Oh, God had to be pleased with the work we did. God was thoroughly pleased with the work we did because that's how we was raised. There wasn't a number.

1:02:09Shannon Sharpe:How much did we make for catching chickens? A dollar a thousand. so if there was 14 000 chickens in there let me see me me shannon arnell eugene laney robbie bernard so the seven of us had you know 10 had 12 13 14 every now and then we get an 18 we love getting 18 19 000 chicken house because that's 19 in our pocket but but we we getting up in there And a couple of the older guys from Clifton were catchers. So they would catch. So a good night, Ocho, Joe, a good night is you carrying six, three in each hand. Now, you want to catch hell, you had that night where you got four in one hand and three in the other.

1:02:53And I'm talking about you like, you know, 12, 13, 14, 15. I'm like, weight strong has never bothered me. That has never been a problem. But that upbringing, man, because you didn't go in there going, oh, man, I hope Uncle James or I hope Earl don't come tonight, man. Nah, bro, we were like, we need to get it. We need to get this money. If we plan on getting, you know, because we used to get jeans back in the day, bro, they were all blue. They were all the same size. They were all the same length. So regardless, if you had six pair of jeans, they were identical. So you didn't wear them out. So, man, Joe, I'm telling you.

1:03:40Shannon Sharpe:But we caught chickens. That's after you done worked in the field. I mean. You done went and crossed the basketball. We were. You done got there at seven, got in the field at seven, got home at five. You ate. Hey, we go play basketball. Sit back down because they're going to come get you when it gets caught. Now, we ain't playing. Now, Ojo. We ain't going to battle with Black Sheriff by Day. Yeah, he ain't playing basketball down there direct. That's me and him out in the yard working on our game. That's me and him playing. And then because, you know, back in the day, you had to wait until it got dark to kick, so chickens would all gather in one spot.

1:04:11So, you know, we getting picked up at 9, 9.30, depending on where we were going, getting picked up at 9, 30, 10 o 'clock at night. And then we in the house, in the chicken house about 11, and we need to get up out of there about 1, 1.30. We need to be in the car, in the truck, you know, getting back to the house. Because we got 7 o 'clock. We got a 7 o 'clock. Mr. Joe the Tatum brothers. Oh, we go. Oh, we go go in the back of the field again. Oh, we was doing doing school too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Let me y 'all had to be sleeping. No. Well, Shannon was as you can tell. Yeah, sleeping. He was sleeping.

1:04:46I was not sleep. Oh, but but the thing is, man, and I'm going to say this again. When you don't know any better, that's all right. that norm is okay. Man, that norm is not hard. That norm is not difficult. I don't ever remember us complaining about it being too hot. I mean, because you got to understand in the tobacco field, you got on long sleeves. You got on blue jeans and long sleeves. In the chicken house, you got on blue jeans and long sleeves. So everything, yeah, because so you know, when you don't know any better, that ain't nothing wrong with this because I mean we when my grandfather was alive we were working for Barney Porter the fact that he was feeding and clothing us as he used to say all the time that's your pay right there that's your pay you know it didn't it sounded like Denzel and Fences yes

1:05:46Shannon Sharpe:that's exactly what he said that's a good one you're not finna get no pay I'm kidding you. And he said it. You know when you said something earlier, you said you're proud of me because I wasn't supposed to be here. Tell him what Grant used to tell me every day. Which part? Because first of all, somebody was going to get him in that glob of mouth of his. So somebody was going to kill him. Yes. Somebody's going to kill him. And even, you know, I'm going to say it. when he, you know, his senior year, when he was all this and all that, and, you know, they weren't calling or coming to see him, I wasn't worried about him because I was like, if this, you know, and I wasn't in college to go to the NFL.

1:06:36I was in college because that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to play pro football and that's what I had to do. But Joe, which is really uh fellas which is really crazy is when i got drafted bro the draft came on and the phone rang so you know i'm in the car headed to the airport when he got drafted the first day went by and we were over at our good friend melva and jim bulwer uh peter peter and michael bulwer's mom and great family i just saw jim and melva the other day as a matter of fact told me to tell you hello um we were over at their house so when we get back to my house he's disappointed and he's hurt so we get up the next morning we go over to the university of south carolina to to to work out like bro let's just go go get it in so we end up working out and the whole time i'm driving down there he's just telling me bro i just want a chance man i just i just want a chance, man.

1:07:32So he's gone from I should be in the first three rounds to I just want a chance. Well, to me, I didn't care because I'm like, bro, you're going to live like I live, whether you make it or not. I know you want to play and you want to establish your own. I got that. But bro, you see what I'm driving? You already driving. Hold on. He had a Mercedes before I did. So he He was in the NFL and, you know, since we put in each other's business in the street. But I paid Shannon's bills in the NFL until my daughter was born. So he was in the NFL and I was.

1:08:12Shannon Sharpe:Man, what I told you about Drossa. Hey, I told you, bro, you started it. That's why Libby don't want you writing a book. Because Libby would have to come out with all this. And you know the first story living on tail is you you stealing the ring saying is your fire truck

1:08:40Really I didn't care, you know at that time I know you know, I know how important it was to him But I didn't care because I was like brother where I live however I'm living you don't live the exact same way brother This ain't me living this way and you gonna be over in a mobile home and there ain't nothing wrong with a mobile home if that's how you prepare to live. But I was just going to make sure that just because he was my brother and what we had gone through together, bro, whatever I got, and I mean, he'll tell you, bro, I had the first SL convertible in the state of South Carolina. My brother wrecked it.

1:09:17Damn, what? No, he didn't. They told him, Ocho. No, he didn't wreck it.

1:09:21Shannon Sharpe:Hey, them baddies going by Ocho. I had to look. No, he didn't. Hey, hey, fellas. He didn't wreck it. He junkyarded, is what he said. What? What he did was he ran into someone and hit the Mercedes emblem and snatched the Mercedes emblem out the grill. So he calls me and he goes, hey, man, I junkyarded your stuff, man. Wait, what? Yeah, bro, I junkyarded your stuff, man. What are you talking about? Your car, man, I wrecked it. You wrecked my new car? Yeah. I said, well, that's all right, bro. We get it. You know, you all right? Yeah, yeah, I'm good. Well, you coming back? No, no, I'm going to stay down here for a few more days.

1:10:06I was like, boy.

1:10:13Hey, you kept driving it? Yeah.

1:10:17Shannon Sharpe:What? Man, I'm in a convertible SL. Brand new. man hey hey hey hey joe ocho and they're sitting on the back of it like they're in the parade too hey joe joe hey man hey so so well man you know just come on back you know you coming back today oh no man i'm gonna i'm gonna stay a few more days man i'm just gonna come back you know when it's over because you know i'm gonna come back when it's over oh you're gonna come back when on the party over? Black Holly Spring Break? Okay.

1:10:52Shannon Sharpe:Hey, Joe, didn't that lead right in the Freak Nick? See, he ain't tell you, but he's with me with Freak Nick, though. He's like, man, this is for me, though. I see this for me, though. Yeah, I can't. Hey, Joe. I was like, hey, boy, yeah. I'm building a name for myself, and I don't need my name over here. That's what I didn't need. I ain't need my name over here. But no, Joe, growing up with this dude, man, it was, hey, Joe, he told a lie, and I like to call out lies. He said he beat the time he beat me in basketball.

1:11:29Chad Johnson:He ain't ever beat me in basketball. I beat him, Joe. I beat him, Joe. Hey, hold on, hold on, OG. How bad you used to do it, my dad? Okay, so Joe, you ISO, Joe. I used to ISO back in the day now. So, hey, Joe, I was bigger than him. So, of course, I'm going in the post. So, just so we could make the game go longer, I kind of can't play him hard. So, what he figured out was, if he scored first, I'm going to win the game. So, what he started doing was, he would score and then run in the house. and be like, man, I beat that big old Joe. I can't believe that big Joe. I beat him. So now, Joe, I'm hot.

1:12:21So now I got to go in. You know, I got to go in the house, Joe. Right. I got to. Oh, Joe. Hey, oh, Joe, you know, he doesn't. So he, I got to let him score because now I got to work on my moves because we ain't playing organized sports in high school. We only playing me and him. so I got to let him score so he scored one nothing so you know he going to take it out he dribbled it two times he take off running to the house that big old joker that joker's strong that joker's strong you ain't going to never play on anybody's team boy that joker used to have me so hot

1:13:08Shannon Sharpe:did I lose Joe I throw the ball in the hog pen. He go in there and tell Granny, like a tattletale, Granny, that boy threw the ball in the hog pen. Y 'all done? You know, Granny would be like, y 'all done playing? Well, no, he threw the ball in the hog pen. You know what? Somebody going to either hit that boy in his old big mouth or they going to kill him. That's what they going to. No, Granny, I'm going to kill him. I'm going to be the one to kill him.

1:13:34Chad Johnson:Hey, hey, hey, hey. When you think back to them days, bruh, like those are like golden days golden times when you think back because they mold you into the people who y 'all are today because I totally understand those type of you know in the times especially in the last year or so having to go back and think about you know us growing up they were so special Joe because at the time you're thinking this is all we gonna ever be able to do you know we never gonna be able to play organized sports. We're never going to be able to really fulfill what talent we think we got. Man, let me tell you, you want to see some moves.

1:14:19You should have been there on Fourth Sunday when all of us are together playing dodgeball or kickball or softball. Man, look, you talk about athletic. Athletic was an understatement for us just because it was one it was it was literally once a month that we got a chance to do it and you know those times are real special because you like this is my nba championship this is my super bowl this is my mlb championship you know this is the this is the best it's gonna get so this is gonna have to hold on for a month so we got to put together this type of energy and effort because it's got to hold us for a month.

1:15:05So yeah, it was very special times back then. Very special.

1:15:10Shannon Sharpe:You realize it's now that we sit down and we call and we think back to bending those saplings and granted we say, boy, y 'all stop bending them saplings. Them trees, y 'all gonna break them. They ain't gonna be able to grow. And we sitting on there, we come home and say, you better not have to take them clothes off. You got red bulls on you probably. And then we sit back and think about it, Joe, and no choke. It's like, and every time, and like he said, we fight and everything and I would tell my grandma, my grandma never punished him she said son we never really fought it was usually two licks passed I hit you, you start crying and that was pretty much the end of it you know and then I feel bad because I'm peaking on a weaker kid and I'm going to need him again tomorrow because we're going to be right back out there on the court tomorrow so I can't punish him but I got to let him know what he's doing only for him He was cheating.

1:16:04Shannon Sharpe:Oh, he was cheating. But see, you know how I get him, though? I let him do something. I let him do something. And then I was threatened to go tell Papa. He know that'd be the end of it. Because so when he cut me on my thigh with the jeans, he had a knife. And he was sharpened. He was sharpened on a chainsaw file. He sharpened on that chainsaw file. Man, that thing was so. So he's like, let me see how sharp my knife feels. So I went and put on two pair of shorts, a pair of jeans, Joe. Man, that joke, he hit me with it. And I said, dang, it started tingling. And I felt weird. Down to the white meat.

1:16:45Shannon Sharpe:And I saw blood. Down to the white meat. Joe, I said, yeah, I got to tell Paul. Oh, hold on. No, you don't. Hey, Joe, no, you don't. That's why I got this. I got this cut right here because I had to let him cut me back so he wouldn't go and wrap me. Yeah, y 'all had to cut it back. What? Yeah, that joker that would never - Hey, Joe, what kind of fool is this? You cut me and I can't get my cut back. That joker that would have never made it. I get a cut back, I got a$2 bill, and I got$2. He would have never made it in the mall. That joker, boy, he'd been giving up for 11 right. He would have never made it.

1:17:19Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, Joe, hold on. You think I would let that man cut me and I can't get no cut back? Damn. He said he got to get your gift back no matter. Hey, what he did me I stuck a pig fork in his leg. He took it and stuck it right back in Bali Y 'all understand There is no right or wrong when it got the Barney Porter's desk all parties involved were wrong No, yeah, there ain't no well you shouldn't have it know y 'all both getting it and and just to keep from getting it Like like he used to be like hey Y 'all get out of bed on Saturday morning Y 'all get up I ain't raising no lazy youngins Y 'all get up and watch the sun rise Watch the sun rise I told Ocho that Yeah y 'all boys get up Y 'all boys get up and watch the sun rise I ain't raising no lazy youngins Like ooh lord Hey Ooh lord

1:18:17Chad Johnson:Hey y 'all ain't having when When your grandma used to tell you to go out there and give me that switch No sir We were never that lucky. We were never that lucky. 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. But then, with D &T, around our house, you get hit with anything. Yeah. i'm talking about you'd be like i'm looking at this light cord right here and i don't know how many times the light cord got snatched out and i'm like hey how do you do that hey hold up oh oh yeah like i'm telling y 'all man i seen my cousins them get beat with stitching cords yeah yeah i'm talking about i'm talking about look look they get whooped so bad i ain't even get I'm crying.

1:19:22Yeah, we've been down that road. Absolutely. Yeah, we were. See, the thing is, if somebody got in trouble, we all got in trouble. If he did it, we got in trouble because we older and we let him do it. So we all got in. I mean there was a there was a line

1:19:46Shannon Sharpe:there was a line y 'all don't want me to tell papa it's go caution there was a the girl got suspended somebody got suspended they got suspended from school huh oh who got suspended oh well you better not tell 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 you don't pay Ocho, I should have killed Ocho, how much are you charging? Ocho, in 1975 76 January I should have killed him way back then because bro, that joke bro, it was just like you were in constant it was like you were constantly nervous because see the thing was is everything i did i did with him right yeah but he never got the punishment like like not wondering like you know he did i was just but you let him do so come in because you you let him How am I going to let him How am I going to keep him from setting granny garden on fire He's playing with magic 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 the beat down.

1:21:35See, 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 get. So she's just like going to make the decision that I should just go catch him, hold him so he can get this over with. Because the more he walk away, the harder it's going to get worse.

1:21:59Shannon Sharpe:You had to tell. I made good little come up. I had a good little hustle, old Joe. Plus, they were dating. 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, win 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 i should have killed him for the money back then but i didn't i should i there was you know and it's tragic in in some ways just thinking about all 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.

1:22:56She'd be like, y 'all be careful. That was the extent. That was the extent of

1:23:04Shannon Sharpe:every gun we had in the house, Joe, was loaded. There was never and it never dawned on us. Like you hear kids, somebody had an accident. He told you a long time. This ain't nothing to play with. This is a long time. That's what he told me. He said, hey, 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 touching and when you talk about our guns being loaded i'm talking about one in the chamber we ain't we ain't cocking nothing when we grab it it's time to go to work yeah 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 yeah i'm throwing you in get yourself out but 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 going to die anyway.

1:24:15I wish you were, Dad.

1:24:19Shannon Sharpe:Man, look here. But when Papa died, the guns still was left because my Uncle James took some of them. But the guns were still loaded. I was 9, 10 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. Whatever I could. At 9, 10 years old, what 9, 10 year old you know now to go get a shotgun? Go get a rifle and just walk off and go shoot it. It 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. Yes. Oh, and the chickens, we got in trouble.

1:24:59Shannon Sharpe: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 accurate with that ball. That rock joke. Yeah. Hold on. I got to tell the story. But one day we came up with the idea for entertainment. We in the road. Outside the house is dirt road. So it's, you know, 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.

1:25:40But this is our entertainment, bro. This is our entertainment. So we tried 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 thrown 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, the hairs on the back of that weird feeling? Joe, I looked up. It was like in slow, it would come in slow motion. With nothing I could do but take it. 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. I was like, man, I was trying to find, you know, you're trying to get that rock that you can get that index finger so you can get that spin.

1:26:28And I was down just looking for it. When I looked up, it was like a slow motion. There wasn't nothing I could do.

1:26:38Shannon Sharpe:Joe, I could kill birds with a rock. They'd be sitting on a branch. Yeah. That joke had a... 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. 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. I'm coming back. I'm coming back with Blue Jays, Cardinals.

1:27:29Shannon Sharpe:Thank God there was none on the endangered species list because he was killing them all. You killed the Cardinals? You killed them all, dog.

1:27:39Chad Johnson:He was just putting them on the clothesline.

1:27:42Shannon Sharpe:No, no, not the Cardinals. I put them on the clothesline so they could feel. Just killed. Trophies. Trophies. That's what I'm saying, Joe. I'm a trophy on a joke. I'm a big game on a joke. Hey, the Cardinals, that's one for free. Yeah, my brother had a bunch of them on the clothesline. Had a bunch of the Blue Jays, a bunch of the Robins. It ain't no bad at all, Joe. I'm telling you, when I come back, I got my teeth. We used to call them the more red-bellied robin. Yeah, he used to have the clothesline. Yeah, they'd be all fat. He used to have the clothesline full of them. You can eat a robin, though, Ocho and Joe.

1:28:15Shannon Sharpe:You can eat a robin. Yeah. The more big red-bellied, big fat ones. Yeah. That's another thing, too. I was trying to get a squirt. I was trying to get quail, but I couldn't sneak up on him, Joe. That's another thing. Yeah, that's another thing, too. He talk about all the stuff he ate. I didn't partake in a lot of the stuff that he ate. Because I would, 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. Hogmaw. Head cheese. Pig feet. I ain't never. Okay. Raccoon. Squirrel. Yeah. I've never eaten a possum.
