Nightcap Hour 2: Austin Rivers CLAPS BACK At Draymond Green + Jeremiah Smith Buys DREAM CAR

14:39Chad Johnson:Hey, listen.

14:40Shannon Sharpe:Yo, hold on. Who knew he could do this? Because if you knew he would do this, and we've been playing Nurkic, you're fired.

14:52Chad Johnson:hey look don't let draymond fool y 'all he understand that his words carry weight he knows that he understands the success that he's had in the nba and uh you know he understand that his opinion is valuable in in in that aspect that's why you see him on his podcast and he He lets you know how he feels.

15:18Shannon Sharpe:I like it. And this is his opinion. And I'm not here to say his opinion is wrong, but it's hard for me to see him in any – the question is, he goes and be a scorer at any other team. What's his career looking like? Because I'm a firm believer when you're not that Steph Curry, you're not that LeBron and Kobe and Mike, Larry, Magic,

15:41Chad Johnson:one of those type of guys, situations where you go back. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

15:46Shannon Sharpe:There are some players that supersede. They can be anywhere. Magic Johnson could have went anywhere. He's going to be Magic Johnson. They're going to win. Ladberg could have went anywhere. There are certain players that they had great careers, but they had to go to the right situation.

16:02Chad Johnson:Right. Yeah.

16:04Shannon Sharpe:Draymond, you are not one of those guys. It is what it is. I ain't got eight. It is what it is. I went to a team, only two teams. I was one of three teams had it. The Washington, the Chargers, and the Broncos ran the H-back position. I went to one of the three teams that had an H-back.

16:26Shannon Sharpe:All the tight ends got hurt during the season. I'm playing H-back at 207, 209 pounds.

16:37Shannon Sharpe:Draymond went to a situation tremendous IQ he understood situations he could rebound the basketball he could defend at an elite clip and guess what look at the connection that he and Steph has yeah hey he'll get the ball hey set the pick leave the ball right there still come off the pick let it fly yeah He get the rebound, no, Steph going to reset. Steph in the reset in the corner. Don't worry about it. I'm looking over there. Pass it behind his back. Here comes Steph in the corner.

17:10Chad Johnson:Oh, yeah, he mastered that. He mastered how to play with Steph. How to maximize his potential playing with Steph, meaning getting Steph off, making sure he getting easy three-pointer, making sure he coming off these hard-ass screens I'm sitting so I can get him wide open because ain't nobody guarding me. He mastered that.

17:29Shannon Sharpe:Ain't a whole lot of guys. Guys, think about it in the history of the game, guys that played like that. Reggie Miller moved without the ball. Ray Allen moved without the ball. Rip Hamilton moved without the ball. And now you got Steph and Clay. You played with the five guys. You played with two of the five that played without the ball. They ran in there and you set picks for them.

17:49Chad Johnson:Them boys did it at elite level.

17:53Shannon Sharpe:Yes. So what if you played with a team that don't run guys off picks? Right. You better have tools in your toolbox.

18:03Chad Johnson:Yeah, you better be getting over 1 ,000 jump shots a day.

18:09Shannon Sharpe:So that's the thing. Look, Dre, you got an unbelievable career, bro.

18:16Shannon Sharpe:I can see if you had an injury and you said, you know what, Joe? Steph is probably the guy that said, man, just imagine how many points I could have had if these ankle injuries didn't creep up on me and cause me to miss so much time. And, you know, I missed a season with a torn, with a torn, what he dislocated his elbow. He broke his wrist. He broke his wrist. Man, I got 20-plus thousand points, but where would I be? That situation is normal. It's hard for me to imagine that Steph's like, man, yeah, I ran off all these picks, but I could have did so much more.

18:53Chad Johnson:Yeah.

18:54Shannon Sharpe:I could have been an iso player. I could have been with James Harden. I could have been with Luka.

19:01Shannon Sharpe:Draymond you went to the perfect you could not have landed in a better situation I agree and think about it Steve Kirk because think about what you were doing before Steve got there I don't think people understand that Dan drafted me put me in a situation boom numbers here Wade Phillips came brought Jim Fossil rest Jim Fossil sold took me here then Mike comes in with the west coast and I go to a different level. Each step. You got to a level, I'm not so sure, that you would have gotten to that level without Steve Curry and without that system with those two Splash Brothers.

19:41Chad Johnson:I agree.

19:42Shannon Sharpe:It doesn't diminish you. You're an integral part. I don't think they win those championships without you. As great as they shot the ball, they're not winning without Draymond. He was the heartbeat of the team. Was he the best player? No, he was never the best player. but he was the most important I agree because he did all the grunt work he did all the dirty work all the rebound all the enforcing he did all that all the hard screens and I think

20:11Chad Johnson:Curry the one really put the ball in his hands because he took the ball out of Steph Curry's hands this one when Steve Curry got there is when you started to see Steph seemed like he running two miles on every play he just zooming through the thing. You know what I mean? But outside of that, at first, you know, he was a pick and roll, you know, a dominant point guard who handled the ball a lot, ran a lot of pick and rolls. When Curry got there, everything kind of switched up. And I think he played in the Draymond's favor too. Yeah. He was more of the point. He was the point forward.

20:47Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And Dray, I'm looking at that jump shot. I don't see 15 points a night with that jump shot. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. With that jump or not. Maybe if you were seven foot and you ride the basket, okay. But I'm looking at that jump shot, Dre. I don't know if you got 15 points a night in there with that. Yeah. But look, and I agree with you, Joe. Austin Rivers had an unbelievable career, 11 years. Draymond is what year is it for Draymond? 14? 15? So this is 15. Okay, Clay came after. So Steph was yeah, Clay came before. Steph was first, then Clay, then Dre. Okay. Well, who's the first round pick with Draymond?

21:45Shannon Sharpe:No, Harrison remember Harrison

21:48Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he won a title with them. Yeah.

21:56Shannon Sharpe:Harrison Barnes came, okay. Yeah, so I'm like, Drake, go home and look at them rings. Man. When your daughter, when your kids meet you at the door, say, hey, let me refresh my memory. Yeah, his IQ, yeah. I mean, look, these days, not any time if you're not just heaping abusive praise. And he said it. He said, look, J-Bond's IQ is one of the reasons what makes him so spectacular.

22:28Chad Johnson:And it is.

22:29Shannon Sharpe:But Ocho and I done ran into it. Ocho and I might say 100 good things when we say the guy dropped the ball and then, oh, now y 'all hating ass. Oh, hating ass. Bro, we've been talking good about you all year. But you dropped the ball in a crucial situation. Now you mad at Ocho and I because we pointed it out.

22:49Chad Johnson:Y 'all know how it go, man. You know, some guys can't take constructive criticism, bro.

22:56Shannon Sharpe:But they don't ever say, hey, they don't ever DM me or DM Ocho, hey, man, y 'all stop heaving that praise on us. I don't need all that. I don't need y 'all to talk about how good I'm playing right now. Don't do that. We don't ever get that. Nah. But the minute we say, hey, bro, you got to make that play, you loafed on that play.

23:14Chad Johnson:because y 'all know criticism weighs more it weighs a lot more especially depending on who it comes from too they weigh even more look you got Uncle Ocho both of y 'all Uncle bad ass tight end Uncle hell of a receiver yeah when them guys hear stuff from y 'all these other receivers they take it to heart

23:40Shannon Sharpe:time told me that he said that's going to be the hardest thing He'd say, he'd say, he'd say, he'd say, he'd say, shut up. He'd say, you got to understand, bro, you got a gold jacket. And you got championships. So the things that they used to use against players that didn't have a gold jacket or didn't have championships, they can't use that against you. So I'm like, when guys say, oh, you hating, okay, I need you to tell me what I'm hating on because I don't know if you checked my resume. I hadn't updated in a while, but I don't know if you checked it. I'm good. I left the game. Every record that a tight end could have, it was in Glenville, Georgia.

24:20Shannon Sharpe:At my greatest house. I had all of them. They done been broken. Okay, I'm cool with that. But for a seventh-round draft pick out of an HBCU to have every record that a tight end could have, I think I did pretty good. Ocho came out of Liberty City. Nobody thought Ocho was going to end up what he been, but he turned into a six-time Pro Bowl, an all-pro. a top 50 player in Cincinnati Bengals history. Hey, I think we kind of know what we're talking about. A little bit. A little bit. So, you can't make everybody happy. You can't.

28:26Shannon Sharpe:Ohio State wide receiver Ocho and Joe just bought his dream car. He isn't even eligible for the NFL until the next draft. Just five months away from turning 21 years of age, Smith picked up a 2026 Lamborghini Urus starting at$250, a quarter of a million, which pocket change when you consider he's one of the highest paid NIL athletes in the country with a valuation of$4.2 million thanks to deals with Adidas, Red Bull, Lululemon, and Nintendo. Oh, Joe Joe, if NIL were around when you was in college, what you called me?

29:04Chad Johnson:I ain't gonna lie. Let me tell you something. I'm gonna have me some fly. See, when I was in college, y 'all know what came out? What came out was them expeditions and them Navigators. That's what came out when I was in college. They was the hardest thing. Hey Joe, remember Excursions? Yeah, they just came out around that time like 2001, 2000. So everybody was getting them. But yeah, hey, Ocho, you making four points something million in college? Hey, get your little Uriahs a little Lambo or something, boy. I probably would have caught me something like that now. Yeah, I ain't gonna act like that.

29:40Chad Johnson:Hey, I'm just about to turn 21 and you mean, boy? No. I'm going to get, yeah, I'm like, hey, hey. Fall out, Jeremiah, shit.

29:51Shannon Sharpe:Hey. Yeah, ooh. What you getting, huh?

29:55Chad Johnson:Put them things on there.

29:58Shannon Sharpe:Hey, hey, you know I had a little something. I had a little something. Bro hooked me up, I had a 300 ZX, you know what I'm saying? T-Tops, you know I had a thing, you know I had a little thing. Then my senior had a 300 Benz. You know I had a little something, a little something. Yeah!

30:13Chad Johnson:Imagine if you had$4 million on your own. You make it.

30:18Shannon Sharpe:Oh, I had a sports car. Oh, yeah, yeah. Hold on. You know, back then, those big 560 Mercedes was out. Yeah. Old big body. 500 series, yeah. Yeah. Probably something like that because I ain't really know nothing about no little. I had never seen a Ferrari up close in person. Never had seen a Lamborghini. So I probably wouldn't even. You know what was out, too? The IROC Zs. Remember no IROC Z?

30:44Chad Johnson:Yeah, I remember IROC. Yeah. I think nowadays you got so many of these young cats driving these Lambos and Rolls Royces here. You know, these kids see all that. They want that big boy. Yeah, for sure. Antlers and all that. Yeah. Yeah.

31:01Shannon Sharpe:What you getting, Ocho? Hey. You died in Miami. Oh, no, you in Oregon. So you in Oregon State. What you getting? I still got that Miami mentality. And you know me having that kind of money on? The first thing I would have did, being a little shorty, being a JIT, I would've got me a Chevy. I was gonna say you get the donk or box Chevy regardless. Hey, I'm getting a donk. 73 convertible top, you know, on some all gone V's. That's just the mindset, especially when I'm that young, where I wouldn't be choosing, you know, nothing foreign. But my first car, I would want a damn Chevy. Yeah. Yeah, boy.

31:36Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but I don't know, hey, I might have to get me something with a body.

31:43Shannon Sharpe:I ain't gonna be laughing at all y 'all about to get me something with a passport. Ay.

31:48Chad Johnson:Yeah.

31:49Shannon Sharpe:But ay, that ain't gonna be the first car. The first part we'll go, ay, man Porter definitely will get them out of there. She getting out of round four box three and five.

31:57Chad Johnson:Well listen. Boy, these kids balling out of control. Man. Oh yeah. Ay, ay, they need some real help and guidance too, bro. Cause you know, you get what -

32:07Shannon Sharpe:Man, the stories that I hear about guys coming out and had that NIL and they seven figures to the tax man.

32:13Chad Johnson:Think about it though. Think about it if you come from a family whose parents never had this type of money. Hell, it ain't just you spending. You know what I'm saying?

32:29Yeah. I'm just thinking about that, boy. You can't imagine. You can't even imagine. Man, me pulling up to the game and I got down Chevy boy with that old trick daddy playing, that 2000 trick.

32:45Chad Johnson:Hey, I know one. I know.

32:46Shannon Sharpe:You had that flip flop playing on that thing on your? That who? That flip flop paint. That cameo. Oh, you remember that cameo paint? You remember that? I remember that flip flop. Hey, I'm going to have mine that bowling ball. That thing will be looking like the old bowling ball with that shine on it.

33:01Chad Johnson:Hey, I know one thing. When you get your ass on that field, you better be cutting up. Oh, you know I'm a cut up Joe. You know I'm a cut up Joe. I ain't got no choice. Oh yeah, hey. That's the one thing you got to understand as a young player. Hey, it's good to have all these things. You know, these materialistic things. But don't forget, don't forget why you're here now. How you got it. And how you got it. There you go, don't forget. You lose that edge. You lose a little bit of that drive. Yeah. Hey, you know back in the day, I pulled up to the game,

33:34Shannon Sharpe:You ever had that little 300 seat? You know, after the game, old lady, you know, when we get the thing, you know, I had to go shower, you know. I couldn't take no shower. I had to go back to the door and shower. Then we go out and get a little something to eat. You know what I'm saying, Ocho? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I was balling a little bit. A little bit. Bro had to hook that thing up.

33:53Chad Johnson:Four M's, bro. In college, 20 years old.

33:58Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, we going to carry here. You getting them gizzles, prize to carry here to go to Ryan's. you know a little something. Man. That was, whew. Man, I still, man, I'm thinking about it too, bro. What you think about? I mean, back then, and you know, I'ma just say the D-Boys. You know, the boy had them Chevys and them goddamn Duallys. They were cutting up. Man, boy. Man, them Ford, them Ford, Ford Super Duty F, F-450s and 350s. I thought about getting what you call it, that Shelby. You know that Shelby, that pickup truck show? You was, I went 10th drove. That's the only car I've ever 10th drove.

34:46Shannon Sharpe:I'm like, man, I might get this thing here. A Shelby? That Shelby, yeah. The one from the movie Gone in 60 Seconds? Nah, it's a Shelby. Yeah, I know what he talking about. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Yeah. Nah, I ain't talking about that, I ain't talking about that 427. I think you talking about that Eleanor though. Yeah, Eleanor. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that Mustang.

35:11All right.

35:11Shannon Sharpe:It's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q &A.

35:25Shannon Sharpe:Before we get to the Super Chats, we got five video voicemails from our Discord. Let's take a listen. Unc, Ocho, Joe, what's good with y 'all, man? It's Fallout Media. I'm back here again, man. Unc, Joe, I'm mad than the motherfucker. Unc, Joe, I'm mad. Man, I'm mad. I'm mad. Y 'all see Lakers locked in, Goat James. I'm locked in. Unc, I'm locked in. Me and you, we here. Hey, man, this was terrible, man. This was terrible, man. This was terrible. Austin Reeves. Unc, one thing about Austin Reeves so far, the last couple playoffs, he showed me something. He's showing me something. He's not ready.

36:01I don't know if he got that dog in him, Unc. Do we got that dog in him, Unc? What's going on? Unc, Ocho Joe, how often can we rely on the Thunder missing all these threes? How often can we rely on the Thunder turning the ball over at this rate? How often can we rely on that? I'm mad, Nightcap family. I'm mad in the month. I'm mad, y 'all. No, I'm mad because this is some straight-up BS. This is a game you got to win. This is a game. When the best team in the NBA play this bad, you got to win it. I'm sorry, y 'all. I'm just mad. I'm mad he mad. Joe, how you mad? You knew what the outcome was going to be.

36:41Chad Johnson:Nah, but they had a chance, though. That's what he said. It's kind of like they got teased a little bit. That's what it is. It's like, man, we played pretty decent first quarter, second quarter, until the last, what, couple minutes. and then outside of that, you know, you get down 8 to 12 points, you can't come back. And like he said, hell, he seen the turnovers that Shea had. Like I was going to say, they ain't held Shea under 20 points and I don't know how damn long. 20 points. So you get this opportunity, damn, you just, Bron just needed a little help. He just needed some, he needed AR to, you know, be a little efficient.

37:19I understand. So he just wanted to feel good the night then. and that's it. Well, I mean, you got to know what it is. I'm not understanding. Man, why you trying to rather the man? Man said he mad, Ocho. I know. I'm just saying. But also, outside of being mad, you also have to be realistic, you know, going into the series understanding, you know, there's a good chance, you know, we might not win a game. You're playing the best team. You're playing the best team out the goddamn West.

37:46Shannon Sharpe:I think what Joe said, and we talked about it, we didn't expect them to play this bad. I mean, think about it. Think about it. How many shots? She only went to the line three times. Yeah. And look at all the threes. Look at all the turnovers they had.

38:00Chad Johnson:Yeah.

38:01Shannon Sharpe:And they still beat you by 18.

38:03Chad Johnson:And they only had 108 points. You know they're going to have a couple of them games where they got 130, 140. Yes.

38:10Shannon Sharpe:And you know if they get to that 130, the game need to be at 100. Yeah. Because that's your best chance of winning. You're not going to outscore them. And the funny thing about it too, Uncle Joe, you just said it too right Shea didn't have a huge game offensively one of the few games where he didn't score 20 hell he didn't score 30 but hell everybody else contributed too everybody else contributed too so even if he does have an off night hey you still got to deal with everybody else that's the time that you like okay Austin to think about it LeBron took a back seat to Austin He took a back seat You know why You know why

39:02Chad Johnson:Because he knew it was going to take him a little while To find his rhythm in time And after missing the first what 15, 17 games He knew it was going to take him a little while The same with AR bro It takes a little Time

39:22Shannon Sharpe:Let's take a listen to the next one What's up Ocho Iso Nightcap family Hey I wanna ask What was one teammate y 'all had Y 'all know was always Gonna come and play You never had the word by him He just always on his A game And um Bron the goat man but LBJ Mary J PB and J OKC and 3 and I say 3 cause we gonna beat y 'all so bad y 'all boys ain't even gonna show up the game

39:57Chad Johnson:he said what he said what team or what teammate I think he said team team

40:12Shannon Sharpe:oh did I know I had to be on my best behavior against oh okay he said what now is it what team did you play that you know you had to have to be on your best behavior against or it's gonna be bad well it was uh i'll tell y 'all it was

40:28Chad Johnson:had to be what 2011 bro first year in miami i was playing here for the hawks yeah get your rest partner they're gonna try to embarrass your ass bro and chris bosh d wade They just had a squad. They had guys. They were loaded. They just had guys who knew how to play, bro, and they were hungry. They wanted to win. That's when Bron was talking about not one, not two. Man, they were hell. Oh, yeah. They were hell, boy.

40:59Shannon Sharpe:Kansas City.

41:00Chad Johnson:Yeah.

41:02Shannon Sharpe:Kansas City was always tough. They didn't have offenses like they got now, like when they had Priest Holmes and Trent Green and all those guys. and obviously when they had, obviously not with my homeboy, but their defense was outstanding. They were unbelievable. And boy, them two guys, they had Rock, Kevin Ross, and Albert Lewis, and then they got Carter and they got Hasty. They were right there. James Hasty. And they got DT and Neal. They had them guys. Oh, man, they were hell. you had to be on your best. Yeah. And they were dirty too. Pushing your cheap shotgun.

41:49Shannon Sharpe:Who you at, Ocho? Shoot. Me, especially during that time. Early 2000s, boy. Shoot, the only thing I could think of is the goddamn Ravens and Steelers. And then, you know, I ain't goddamn behave because you know my crazy ass you know sending gifts talking talking trash to the media just to make it exciting take some of the pressure off my teammates so all the pressure was on me you know all y 'all got to do just go out there and play you know everybody aiming to hurt me everybody aiming to kill me so you everything should be easy for you but boy them goddamn games there boy joe i had to bring an extra chin strap joe it was like that he said uh he said he asked teammate The chat is saying he asked teammates.

42:35Oh, he said teammates you ain't got to worry about? Oh, what teammates you ain't got to worry about? Goddamn TJ, boy.

42:41Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Goddamn TJ, boy. He's showing, hey, you ain't got to worry about it. He's showing up to everything. Yeah. No matter the circumstances, win, loss, draw, TJ, boy. TJ was, boy, he was a real deal, boy. Oh, seven. I played with seven. And then Baltimore had to be 52.

43:00Chad Johnson:Yeah, mine would be 0405 Phoenix playing with Nash. He was special, boy. Yeah. Yeah, he was special, Ocho. Yeah. He nice on that pitch, too. He grew up playing that soccer. That's how his footwork got nice. I think the thing is, I caught

43:25Shannon Sharpe:Ray when he was young

43:26Chad Johnson:and he was hungry.

43:28Shannon Sharpe:All he talked about Man, shit, I need to be defensive player of the year. I need that, man. I need to be the best. I said, bro, these are some of the things that you need to do. These are some of the things, how you need to conduct yourself. I said, hey, it's there. I said, you got the talent. I said, but nah, I mean, there's one thing to say you want to be that. There's another thing to go out there and take the steps necessary to be that.

43:55Chad Johnson:Yeah.

43:57Shannon Sharpe:Man

44:02Shannon Sharpe:The way I saw him train And the way I saw him grow And once we My first year there He ended up being defensive player of the year It was over Same year he was Super Bowl MVP It was over I said I was telling somebody They don't even realize what they're doing he was the wrong guy to have that level of success I said because he won't rest now I said he's going to want it he's going to want more than that

44:35Chad Johnson:and that's rare he's going to get it he's going to get it Joe that's rare that you have guys with that mentality after they win they exhale but you got some guys after they win they want more yes

44:50Shannon Sharpe:that's all he was like bro I was like, bro, enjoy this, bro. We just won the Super Bowl. You defensive player of the year, Super Bowl MVP. He's like, Shay, I need another one.

50:04Shannon Sharpe:You been somewhere where you ain't do ish. Asked you over that razor. Oh yeah. Yeah. I guess they know for like spices and stuff, right? I think they like known for like cinnamon, nutmeg, or something. I'm trying to think.

50:24Shannon Sharpe:I'm trying to think of an athlete. Nah, he from Suriname. Anthony Nesty. Anthony Nesty, he's the head coach of Florida swim team. I think he was the Olympic swim team coach too.

50:42Shannon Sharpe:See? I know a little something. What happened? It's known as the Isle of Spice. You're known for like spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, stuff like that. Okay. But I've never been to it. I'm going to an island. Yeah, yeah. Maybe a Long Island.

51:04Chad Johnson:What would you know about them Long Island.

51:06Shannon Sharpe:I like T's, boy. Nothing. I know my homeboy, Bucky, that's his drink. The first thing he do, he go somewhere. Man, let me get a Long Island. What is it? By the way, let me go ahead and get two because it's going to probably take you a while to get back over here. Hey, them things. Nah, I ain't never had one, Joe.

51:24Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, Karani James. That's who's from Grenada. He won Olympic. He won Olympic gold medal in the 400. Went to University of Alabama. I knew it was somebody from Grenada. Let's take a listen to the next one.

51:39What's up, Ocho? And Stu? King Ice on the building. I just got a good question for all y 'all. Joe, being from Atlanta myself, what's your favorite moment being an Atlanta Hawks playing for them? Like anything, it could be anything in the game, whatever. Oh Joe, I got a bone to pick with you because when you listen to your receiver for our safe workshop room You did not mention Drake Lennon. You did not invite him. So I'm just a curious on what is your beef with Drake Lennon? I get the Falcons are a low market team, but Drake Lennon Um, was is a top 10 receiver in the league and I'm very curious and I'm ash pull up the stats for him Just in case he doesn't know because ultra doesn't watch the Falcons.

52:12Trust me. I know and um Last question for you is um, what's been your hardest moment since recording nightcap? and Joe, do not pay him that 500 until he admits Drake Lennon is a top five receiver. Ash, pull up the stats.

52:28Chad Johnson:My favorite moment being an Atlanta Hawk, it would have to be we were AC playing the Boston Celtics, who was a one seed, who ultimately went on to win the title that year. We took them seven games. They didn't win a game here in Atlanta, fellas. It was, I've never seen the arena like that ever. like I'm talking about to where when you talking to yourself you can't even hear yourself talk you can't even you know what I mean like it was it was crazy in there bro

53:01Oh Joe why you didn't invite that man I invited everybody I don't know what the hell you talking about yeah I don't know about your top 5

53:10Shannon Sharpe:I don't even know about top 10 I don't know what he's talking about either especially that part but you know I don't disrespect nobody I just let people talk that's his city, that's his team I like Drake London, really good player coming out of USC

53:26good dude, good dude, real good dude

53:32Shannon Sharpe:what's the toughest thing I went through since I started recording Nightcap

53:40Shannon Sharpe:I know a lot of people think it's the situation that I had last year. But I've had some private battles that were even tougher than that. And I'll just leave it at that. Here's our next one.

53:58Chad Johnson:What's up, fellas? Just wanted to say what's up, chicken here. Hey. I know y 'all be doing a lot of talking about the nightcap outside, what y 'all gonna do next. Y 'all need to line up the batting cages Pool And throwing darts On the next one And Unc You always talking about you was shooting up Your knees Your ankles Your back It's time to shoot up man Don't shoot that knee up And don't get out there man And shoot that next episode Nightcap outside man Peace out Nah bro Ain't no more Hey.

54:44Shannon Sharpe:And damn near six and six weeks away from 58, my shoot no shit's over. Hey, I tell y 'all what, I'm going to put down a mean demonstration

54:53Chad Johnson:on you boys again for - Not in Darts and Poole, Joe. Hold on. Hey, listen, you definitely, definitely not in that bad case. Boy, please, you already said you can't hit 85. I know I can hit 85. No, you cannot, Joe. Okay, all right, all right. What? Joe, okay, listen to me. Listen to me. All jokes aside. When the last time you've been in the bag of games? It's been a while, but my hand-eye coordination is great. I got two. No, it's not. I don't know it. No, it's not. How are you going to tell me what my hand-eye coordination is? Joe, do you understand how fast 85 miles an hour is? Yes. You not your hand-eye coordination unless you played at the highest level.

55:32It's not happening, Joe. We're going to see. I'm telling you it's not. You not beating me in darts or pool or ping pong. Hell, you not even beating me in your own goddamn sport. The hell I'm arguing with you for.

55:43Chad Johnson:Ocho, you can't even see, so I know y 'all can't beat me in darts. How y 'all going to beat me in darts? Hold on. Ocho can't see.

55:51Shannon Sharpe:Ocho got that murky eye. I'm good. Hold on. How the hell I can't see? Because your right eye cloudy. I done did well all my life with just one eye. That's when you were young, though.

56:01Chad Johnson:You were young, vibrant. You were booming. You ain't like that. I'm still Joe. I'm still booming Joe. I'm still I'm still vibran Joe. Ain't nothing change.

56:13Shannon Sharpe:All right. All right. Man we get out there. Man y 'all out there going against the Cyclops. Hey not just any Cyclops. One of the top sexiest Cyclops alive man. You not winning though Joe. We got one more. Right?

56:32Shannon Sharpe:Do y 'all remember the first time you had to fire somebody? How did it feel and what did y 'all learn from it? Joe, you ever had to fire somebody?

56:41Chad Johnson:Yeah, hell, I don't put no emotion into it. It is what it is, it's gotta happen. Hey, either you an asset or your ass a liability. Yeah, got to go, period. Yeah. Well, I'm trying to think.

57:01Shannon Sharpe:Well since Ash do all the hiring, she responds before the termination. That's how you, not me. No, well look, I mean I've changed agents or changed attorneys and stuff like that, but it's a part of, but I'm talking about somebody that actually worked like day-to-day operation club, Shea Shea, Nightcap or something like that. I've been blessed that I haven't had to. hopefully I don't have to I think we have great I think the people that we have working in this space they enjoy being here they work really hard they understand a lot of them came from Fox and they understand my work ethic they understand what I expect of them because they see how hard I work and they know I expect them to work equally as hard so I've been very very fortunate to have people that I think we pretty much had the same.

57:58Shannon Sharpe:I mean, yeah, we did. We had to fire a couple of producers.

58:01Chad Johnson:Think about it.

58:03Shannon Sharpe:Hey,

58:04Chad Johnson:with me running this yoga studio, I had to fire a couple yoga instructors. I mean, they are independent contractors, so it ain't like they solely work for ISO Yoga. They work for other studios around the city. But if I got students coming to me or clients coming to me and they complaining about you and this same complaint, hell yeah, you gotta go. Right. Damn, Joe, you'll fire me if I were to ISO. Get your ass outta here as soon as you came in. Hey, if I got a young lady, tell me, well, Ocho, he been real flirtatious this, dead, and the third, because that's the one thing we don't tolerate, especially if you a man in this industry.

58:50Chad Johnson:Oh, yeah, yeah. You ain't going to be pitching on the job. Because it's dominated by women. And so if guys come in and can't control themselves, that's the first thing I tell you, bro. Your ass got to go. If I get one complaint, you got to go. Yeah. Damn. What is she? Oh. Joe, you know, they be coming on to me, Joe. I ain't got nothing to do with that, Joe. Hey, you better act like Ray Charles. Yeah. Yeah. Can't do business like that, bro.

59:20Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, you had to fire somebody, Ocho?

59:25Nah, I ain't really had to fire nobody off. I mean, you know, cutting people off, I mean, that's not really firing. You know, they ain't on my books.

59:35Chad Johnson:Yeah. Or nothing like that, you know? I ain't never really been in a position where, you know, I got to let somebody go.

59:45Shannon Sharpe:All you gotta do is just work hard. That's it. I mean, look, I ain't looking over your shoulder. I ain't doing all that. Yeah. I ain't trying to micromanage no damn body. I ain't trying to, you just, you said you can do it. I hate that word. You said you, this is what you can do? Oh yeah, I've done this. That's why I see, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. How long you said you been doing this?

1:00:12Shannon Sharpe:I don't know. And now people chat GPT to resume. Yeah. And yeah, see, now I'm actually saying people chat GPT to resume. So they feel like they done did all this, and they get there on the job and they did nothing. And then I'm going to chat GPT to this resignation later. You got to get up out of here. Because the thing is, at the rate we're moving, we don't really have time to train you. Either you can do it or you can't. and you know we this stuff live maybe you get a little bit more leeway with Club Shea Shea because it's taped but when we live

1:00:53Chad Johnson:I don't feel now hey Joe now that I think about it Joe you know I love me some jobs boy I'm thinking about hey you might want to hire your boy come on hire me give me a little you already said you can't be still so I already know you ain't even in for the running. I ain't even got you in. I ain't got you. You. Hey, listen, you heard what Uncle just said, man. Come to work. Be on time. You know, be professional. But you ain't gonna have no passion for it. You already told me. You can't be still. You don't like. Yeah, I ain't gonna waste no time with you, partner. Nah. No? Yeah. So I'm trying. So you say fuck support Black.

1:01:37I'm trying to support Black Blins. You don't want to get a brother a job.

1:01:39Chad Johnson:Yeah, I can't do it, partner. Hey, I told you, either your asset or liability, partner. I definitely ain't no liability, huh? I'm an asset to the company, partner. You hear me? All right. And you can have me on the corner with a sign. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm here. Okay.

1:02:02Shannon Sharpe:No. Bernie McGovern said, oh, you and Skip appeared on Truth or Dab, and you were asked who you never listened to, and you said, Will Kane, what is or was your beef with him? I ain't got no beef. I just didn't mind interested in anything that he had to say. Vince B, what's up, Nightcap? Love the show. Yo, where did you get the random knowledge from? Do you read a lot or is it just life experience? Some of it is life experiences, but I did. I mean, I love sports and I'm just a sponge. Normally, if I read something, if I see something, it is there. It's there. And, you know, My grandfather was, you know, like I said, we was computers.

1:02:43Shannon Sharpe:We was the cell phone. We was the, what do they call that thing? Notes where you like, you tell your phone something and it reminds you. That's what we were for Barney Porter. Hey, tell them boys your address. Tell them boys your phone number. And then we'd have to regurgitate it to him. But I've always been like that. Always. And so it serves me well to be able to recall things, especially in the debate format. Because when you debate, to be able to recall things, like I said, plus I'm old enough to remember. Because a lot of stuff that we're talking about happened in my lifetime, and I'm old enough to have seen it.

1:03:22Shannon Sharpe:Seen Magic Johnson, seen Larry Bird, seen all that. I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Y 'all talk about this X, Y, Z, blah, blah, blah. I said, y 'all do realize in that first championship, Bird wasn't the final MVP.

1:03:35Chad Johnson:What? Cornbread.

1:03:38Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all know he had a game in which he scored eight points, but that ain't none of my business. I don't even know why I'm holding up. Right. See, to be able to recall stuff like that. But so, yeah, it does serve you well, especially in a debate format. I think that was one of my biggest assets is that being able to debate, studying, and watching what I did. Because the first two years, I would do the show all two and a half hours, and then I would go home and re-watch the show. And I remember having, and my agent called me, Marvin's like, what are you doing? I said, I'm re-watching the show. He called me like a week later on to re-watching the show.

1:04:19Shannon Sharpe:Called me a month later, re-watching the show. He's like, how long do you think you're going to be able to do this? I said, I don't know. He said, you'll burn yourself out. But I wanted to be great at this because I know I was the first to do this on a daily basis. You know, normally the guys come in and do a segment. If it's a basketball guy, he'd do the basketball segment. If it's a football guy, he'd do the football segment. If it's a baseball guy, so forth and so on. But I was going to be there full time. I was not going to get off a segment. So I had to immerse myself and to make sure, okay, yes, you were good here, but ooh, you could have gotten it right here.

1:04:58Shannon Sharpe:Don't be so, hey, let him finish his point. You got it. You got it. Spring the trap on him. And so to be able to recall that information, man, it really served me well. I do miss that sometimes. I do miss, like, having that where Ocho got his flag planted here. I got my flag planted there. Okay.

1:05:18Chad Johnson:Debate, yeah.

1:05:20Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Real, real, real debate. Trey Tyner, F what Ocho been talking about. Can't say nothing about broad age. A 32-year-old LeBron is getting this Thunder team out of here.

1:05:33Chad Johnson:Oh, he's saying when Brown was 32. Oh, yeah. He's going to put up at least 45. Yeah, he's going to have a couple games. And they sing a little like this with no double?

1:05:44Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure.

1:05:48Chad Johnson:Man, listen.

1:05:49Shannon Sharpe:He getting a game or two.

1:05:51Chad Johnson:I think.

1:05:52Shannon Sharpe:He getting a game or two.

1:06:13Shannon Sharpe:So it's like, yeah, and he from Arkansas.

1:06:15Chad Johnson:That ain't nothing but like a two-hour drive from Oklahoma. So it's like he at home. I feel like he going to play a lot better. He going to pick it up.

1:09:10Shannon Sharpe:Would you rather be an NBA MVP but never make the finals or a bench warmer with five rings who never played a single minute? Yeah, yeah.

1:09:19Chad Johnson:What? Hey, look, I ain't going to lie.

1:09:21Shannon Sharpe:That's easy.

1:09:22Chad Johnson:I want to be involved. Yeah, I want to be involved. I don't want to sit the bench and collect awards. I want to be out there in action.

1:09:33Shannon Sharpe:Hmm. Boom, boom, room, Dr. Doom, Hawaiian goons, Bring out the broom sweep coming soon. OKC and 4. The clutch guard, Jared Allen is only 6 '9". We think he's taller than he is. Only? Well, he played like he was 5 '9 tonight.

1:10:31Shannon Sharpe:Do you understand how long that, how ridiculous that is?

1:10:33Chad Johnson:People don't understand that, huh? They can't even understand that. I think it's for guys like us who played the sport and you played against guys like that. You're like, damn, this joker got some long arms.

1:10:50Shannon Sharpe:Oh, love this show. Are we sure James Harden is a better one-on-one player than Allen Iverson? Joe, you played against both of them?

1:11:03Chad Johnson:AI was slithery. He had a nice left to right crossover. And he was, man, listen. Both of them were bad, but I loved AI, bro. You know, I'm talking about from the time I caught him at Georgetown all the way through the pros. He was one of those little dudes who you like, ain't no way when he gets to the pros he going to be able to do all this. He did that and some. Yeah, yeah. Man, hell. The hell you say. Man, just a hell of an athlete, bro. Nice.

1:11:41Shannon Sharpe:Mr. Sharp, you have to start listening to your co-host. When they're talking or trying to talk, my guy, we know you're the boss and signed the checks, but you have to start allowing your co-host to get a word in or sell it or 70. So now I'm doing a three-hour show and ain't nobody talking but me.

1:15:41Shannon Sharpe:What'd you think about that? Trey diggin' say, Ocho, you pregnant or got COVID?

1:15:48Shannon Sharpe:Hey, you say Joe, he's still coughing. Give me that. Let me get that. Let me get that. Hey, when y 'all make me laugh, it make me coughing. Joe, you got to get any time with Joe.

1:15:59Chad Johnson:Give me a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Appreciate that, man. Damn. Damn. I told y 'all.

1:16:05Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all told me, oh, it's going to be gone. Joe, it's been like eight, nine days, ain't it? Hey, nah. It's going now. But when you make me laugh, boy, it make me cough. That thing be funny, boy. I don't know what it is. It came back. That thing circled back on your ass. Both Donovan Mitchell and Bam Adebayo are 1 ,000 % champions every time they go home to their girlfriends, Coco Jones and Wilson. Good lord. Yes, sir. Yeah, they got great partners. They do. But when you play in a professional sport, that is don't matter. Nah. Ain't nobody coming to see them because of their significant others. and bless them.

1:16:46Shannon Sharpe:Coco is unbelievable. Asia, we know, hey, when she's all said and done, she's probably, right now I say she's the greatest, going to be the greatest woman's basketball player ever. But that ain't got nothing to do. We talking about basketball. I want to know what they're going to do. I'm not looking. When I watch them play, I ain't thinking about this. And that's not a knock.

1:17:05Chad Johnson:Yeah. I like the support that they show them, though.

1:17:09Shannon Sharpe:I do, too. Well, maybe Asia might need to get out there and help Bam. That's getting them to play. Maybe Coco can. because they ain't going nowhere soon anytime soon.

1:17:22Chad Johnson:Well, they might need to trade for KD. They've been wanting to get KD. You know what? You might be on to something. Who they giving up, though? They giving up Hero? Tyler Hero.

1:17:34Shannon Sharpe:Whomever, they're going to want Ware and they're going to want Tyler Hero. If you want Giannis, you're going to have to give up both of those guys.

1:17:40Chad Johnson:Yeah, if you can hold on to Ware, though, I'll hold on to Ware. Damn. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hell no. Hey, this dumb ass light always going out, man.

1:17:57Shannon Sharpe:I'm a diehard Eagles fan, a Knicks fan. When the Eagles won the Super Bowl, won the Bowl in 2017, Philly erupted, and Philly and New York will erupt just like Philly. Yep. What?

1:18:07Chad Johnson:New York will go Philly. It's a clown. I'm telling you. They're going to have the National Guard out there, man.

1:18:16Yeah.

1:18:17Shannon Sharpe:I'm gonna see that. Sam McGrath, Draymond tried to be slick. He went to high school and then bypassed college forgetting that the fact that Rivers stayed one year at Duke and led his team in scoring.

1:18:27Chad Johnson:Yeah, he had a hell of a year at Duke. And he made that clutch ass shot against North Carolina. You remember that, aunt?

1:18:34Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I remember that. That's my guy.

1:18:38Chad Johnson:Hell yeah. Yeah, that's the biggest rivalry probably in sports.

1:18:43Shannon Sharpe:one of them I mean you got Alabama Auburn you got Michigan Ohio State you got North Carolina Duke Green Bay Chicago it's up there Cowboys Washington yeah for sure Pittsburgh Ravens Sheridan Pope is Joker on the Denver Mount Rushmore

1:19:03Chad Johnson:yeah yeah yeah

1:19:05Shannon Sharpe:well you got seven yeah I think yeah you have to be Because nobody from the Rockies have won a championship. So I think him, seven.

1:19:20Chad Johnson:Man, with three MVPs.

1:19:23Shannon Sharpe:Hockey. Probably, I would probably say, probably Joe Sackett from the Avs.

1:19:44Shannon Sharpe:probably TD

1:19:49yeah

1:19:51Shannon Sharpe:yeah I would go I would go I would go I would put sack because I mean Forsberg was good was good Patrick Waugh was good but I would go Joe Sackett seven yoke TD

1:20:07Shannon Sharpe:can the Knicks keep up with OKC and a potential finals Man, that'd be a great matchup. Brunson, I mean, Brunson and Jay. But they got guys that can throw it. They got guys. They got Hart. They got OG. They got Mikael Bridges. They got guys that can throw at it. They do, bro, bud. They got guys that can rebound. They got Cat that can probably offset a lot of what Shea does. They got Mitchell Robinson that can bang. They got the other kid that they brought in. It'd be a great matchup. That'd be great. We might get a chance to find out. That'd be great for basketball.

1:20:40Chad Johnson:If them two teams can make it to the finals, ooh-wee, the ratings will be through the roof.

1:20:45Shannon Sharpe:Ooh, yes, Lord. Because you got New York? Oh, my goodness. I'm not a guy that minds flopping all that much, but SGA overdoes it. I mean, he was trying to every play tonight, even on passes. I still got Jokic as the best player in the NBA, even after a bad series.

1:21:04Chad Johnson:I understand what he's saying. I thought early Shea was a little overzealous with some of the excessive flailing that he was doing. But I got him as MVP. Yeah.

1:21:19Shannon Sharpe:Maybe I missed it, but I haven't heard Spirit Airlines representative say a damn thing about the airlines being shut down. Where's that accountability for Americans abandoned? Out their money, Ochoa. Out with money. Everybody gets a refund, especially if you find... They have that refund. You shut down. I'm at the airport.

1:22:11We never had an issue. We gonna get you from point A. You did have an issue.

1:22:14Shannon Sharpe:You had not enough people book flights. That's the issue you had. No, it ain't. The issue we have is the goddamn fuel prices. Okay, guess what? We need to bail out. No, no, whoa, whoa, whoa. How you taking American taxpayer money and bail it out? Hey, hey, they take out, they take, take, take payers money for every guy. No, they want my money.
