13:31Shannon Sharpe:I'm just going out there, I'm going to play football. And whatever happens, it's going to happen.

13:35Chad Johnson:Yeah. No matter what. And what makes him special is what he brings to the game, that physical style of play. There's a certain excitement scatterable brings to the game, and he can't change the player he is.

13:53Shannon Sharpe:You're right. You're right, Ocho. I mean, look, he's electric. I mean, him and Dart, you just got to be smart. They're the time and the place for everything. Just got to be smart with it. You don't – hey, this ain't college, bro. you're not going to continuously run over these people i'll tell you about that that one duo boy them first um i don't know how many weeks it was before scataboo got hurt but boy it was

14:16Chad Johnson:exciting to watch it was like the first three four weeks probably like that boy was getting him him and jackson dart was willing it was exciting

14:30Chad Johnson:yeah i'm going to take about the skull here

14:36Chad Johnson:Artie?

14:37Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah, it's like... I just don't know what CU needs, man.

14:50Chad Johnson:You got... Hey, you saying you don't know what they need? Boy, you got to have a hell of a QB back there, boy. You know what I think goes underrated, too? Go is the job that Shadur did when he was there. I know he had a bunch of weapons, a bunch of nice weapons. But I think people take that for granted. that Arca Ocho?

15:07Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, for sure. Yeah, she knew it. Trav was sensational. There's a reason why he was the number two pick in the draft. There's a reason why he won the Heisman Trophy. He was special. Those guys don't come along often. True.

15:23Chad Johnson:Yeah, I'm saying. Yeah, you're right. Webster. He has nice weapons. When you have those type of weapons and you have an accurate quarterback, you you get great results which is you know that's why i still baffled man i'm like damn i thought she do it was a top 10 damn pick so

15:49Shannon Sharpe:stephen jones says it would be real difficult to keep both george pickens and cd lamb long term let's take a listen

16:05Chad Johnson:it's all good yep

16:11Shannon Sharpe:see Joe I get blamed for that right there see what I'm saying I get blamed for that right there

16:22come on Jacob situation we have with George Pickens going alongside CD. I don't know of any teams that really can pay two top receivers top of the market. So that's going to be a real difficult situation as we move forward. We've managed to figure out how we can do it for this year. If everything works out the way we think it is, which CD and George both have huge years again, then it'll be a bigger challenge next year. George is really wanting to put back-to-back years on top of one another. So it'll help his market. And certainly I know at some point, will want to be rewarded with a long-term contract.

16:58Shannon Sharpe:What you mean at some point, Ocho? Next year? Yeah.

19:04To honor our country on its 250th birthday, this can of Copenhagen goes out to those defending the free American soil that our tobacco has taken root in for over two centuries and counting. Here's to the calloused hands of freedom. Copenhagen, saluting American grit, proven since 1822. Warning, this product is not a safe alternative to cigarettes. Amazon Health AI presents Painful Thoughts. I, um, I can't stop scratching my downtown. Yeah, but I'm not itching to go downtown and tell a receptionist I'm here to talk about my downtown. Some things you'd rather type than say out loud. There's no question too embarrassing for Amazon Health AI.

19:56Chat your symptoms and get virtual care 24-7. Healthcare just got less painful. I told you that, Uncle Joe. Obviously, I was looking for the best interest of George Pickens. Obviously, a lot of Cowboys fans, Joe, even you, you push back on what I was saying and him being deserving of a long-term deal. Obviously, he decided, you know what, I'm going to bet on myself. Similar to the same case when Jamar Chase, you know, they should have paid him early and they decided not to. And he bet on himself. And you saw what he went and did. So now George Pickens is in the boat again to control this long-term value and be an asset for another team somewhere else.

20:36I don't see any scenario where they're able to keep two of the top premier pass catchers on the same team. This is not a one and a two. This is a one and a one. It's a one and a one. It is what it is. It's not even close.

20:54Chad Johnson:I understand this is a very unusual situation, but we're going to cross this bridge when we get to it. Let's hope the Cowboys, we come through and do the unthinkable. we we win the title we'll cross that bridge we we'll do what we can look pickings pickings probably look at the situation right here i don't want me one let me just go i'm gonna go get my bag but they got a great relationship a great rapport over there as a squad bro you know you can't take that for granted okay ocho you never know what i want money hey hey listen listen listen I ain't talking about Ocho. I understand y 'all want to get paid.

21:39Chad Johnson:We don't know pick circumstances. Yeah, I know you want to get paid, but I'm sure he got. I know pick circumstances. Come on, Ocho. Every other goddamn receiver that's a top receiver got their money but me. What you mean? And here you go. You got me dilly-dallying, making me wait, playing on this goddamn franchise tag. Listen, it's$27 million. No disrespect to the people in the chat. I know that's a lot of money, but based on the type of receiver that George Pickens is, boy, he's supposed to be making$40 a battle. he gonna get he gonna get his opportunity I'm not saying nothing bad but Stephen Jones basically came out and said what I've been saying all along you hear me they jumped on me when I said it because I'm you know you never had this opportunity that often there's your number one and there's your bona fide number two y 'all have a nice window y 'all have a great window that's why I continue to give you guys high praise as an offense.

22:35The window of opportunity is right now to take advantage of this football season.

22:40Chad Johnson:I totally agree. And guess what? Pete got to understand, the grass ain't always green on the other side, because you leave Dallas and you go somewhere else, you might be getting your head beat in.

22:50Shannon Sharpe:That's alright. It's easy to get your head beat in when you got a sack of money, though, Joe.

22:54Chad Johnson:Hey, we done seen we done seen cats go down that road, Ocho, and they lose their damn mind now. That's alright. huh

23:04Shannon Sharpe:hey but hey Ocho be careful now would I be surprised if they didn't put the franchise attack on them again I wouldn't be surprised now don't don't piss me off now don't piss me off now come on now I'm just Ocho I'm just trying to get you prepared for it Ocho no no no don't do that look the problem that you ran into is that you let uh Chase go to go to 40 million. You let JSN go to 42. Puka's going to sign. Puka's going to probably go to 43. He's going to want to be top of that. And then you got CD. So how you have to redo CD? So how you pay two receivers 40 plus million plus and play your quarterbacks 60 plus.

23:53Shannon Sharpe:When you just paid Quinny 30 plus. At some point in time, Joe, you just can't keep You run out of people to pay top dollar to.

24:06Chad Johnson:I'm with you. I'm with you.

24:07Shannon Sharpe:And you hope Camden Browns and you hope Flanois and you hope Hudson, some of these guys are able to step up and can fill that void, knowing there's a 99 % chance that George Pickens is going to be gone next year. Yeah. 99 % chance. Hey, Joe, this is a good problem to have if you're a Cowboy fan. It's a good problem to have right now because now you got them. You got them all right now. So you got to make the most of the opportunity. Your window is now. Your window is now. And even when the window closes, you still have a good stable of horses to work with, even if picky is going. You still got a good stable of horses.

24:52Yeah.

24:53Shannon Sharpe:But you ain't got nothing like this. You got two styles. Yeah. Yeah. Pickers will play this season under the one-year franchise tag, which is$27.3 million. Coming off a career high, 93 catches, 1 ,429 yards, and nine touchdowns. I think the thing is that Pick, you know, and people are like, well, they did Chase and Higg, T. Pickers is not going to do a contract like T. did.

25:20Shannon Sharpe:Pick is going to walk north of$70 million guaranteed at the time. He going to want damn near 50 million at Saturday, Ocho. What you mean, won't? He finna get. So this notion, T got like 10 million. That ain't what Pitt. Pitt going on a big, big no. Pitt going on a big, big no. I said it last year, right? There's a team that's playing this year, right? They don't have no dog. They need a dog. you know obviously their their their first round pick quarterback is not starting this year and they're gonna need it all over the next year and i have i to to me i think pickings fits the mold of an offensive player that is identifies what that organization is all about and i think that's where he'll be next year where where he'll be it's with on

26:19Chad Johnson:Hey, man, what up? If I'm Dak, if I'm Dakota Prescott, boy, I'm going to take advantage of this roster. Okay. Especially these two boys, especially picking NCD. I think Dak really understands the moment, the wonder of opportunity that they have at this point, Arkan Ocho. So, well, I'm telling you, it's going to be fireworks on nightcap every damn night, boy, when them Cowboys play. You hear me? Yeah, I just want y 'all to know.

26:49Shannon Sharpe:Oh, it's going to be fireworks, huh?

26:51Chad Johnson:Yeah, it's going to be fireworks. Hey. Yeah. Oh, we got a good one. What happened? Hey, it's a minute. What are that, minute 59, 30 and 11, Colorado got the ball. Hey, it'd be dope in a fairytale scenario. You know, the boys can convert this and go down and score and win the game 14-3.

27:15Shannon Sharpe:it'll be 14 13 oh you don't see that one in front of that three and he's talking about it's a minute

27:20Chad Johnson:and 59 on the clock it's a minute and nine that boy can't sleep hey wait joe you know my tv like 50 yards away from me now i got like go to your yard yeah you know look i got a little property okay i love property too and he was borrowing boy i sure hope so I hope they pull it off Joe your TV must be fast did they convert it at third down yeah they converted man first and ten I'm still stuck on 109 what you got dial up over there what kind of service you got you know what fission is yeah

28:06oh good kiss oh they did convert it

28:11Joe told you that two minutes ago

28:20Yeah

28:20Shannon Sharpe:Why if I slow it here I just don't know how they do it Joe Especially Dak You already know Dak They're going to have to get Dak five years Probably 300, 350 Another 180 million Guaranteed with a hundred million to sign

28:37Chad Johnson:Well, I mean, he's a premier quarterback in this league. Hold on, hold on. Not just any league. Hey, Joe, he's the premier quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, hello. There you go, Ocho. You know what? You're right. You're right. You got to take care of him here. You can't go out on no limb without paying debt. No, you got to take care of him.

29:01Shannon Sharpe:No, he can't. And you have no other options.

29:06Nope.

29:11That's the problem that you got. What, no other options? Hold on. The problem is when do you start doing what the Steelers chose not to do when they had Ben Roethlisberger? When does that start?

29:22Chad Johnson:Man, come on.

29:23Shannon Sharpe:I think you at least three years away. I say five. Yeah. I say five. At least at bare minimum. Joe, we on your side, Joe. Hold on.

29:34Chad Johnson:For you to even bring that up, though, for you to bring that up i'm like hold on damn you act like that about to fall off the cliff

29:41Shannon Sharpe:yeah that can't be no more than what 31 31 32.

29:46Chad Johnson:you see that boy that got lean that boy ain't not that playing he done been through some things okay oh joe that boy coming to the season right hey joe you talking to a deck supporter man since day one that ain't nobody holler from the mountain top about that and and piggins outside of me everybody be killing them boys why always been boy at attention you're talking about i now don't agree with some of the things jerry doing some of the things jerry say but when it comes to that four and that 88 that double eight yeah i've been i've been on 10 i've been 10 told down about them boys now okay okay

30:25Shannon Sharpe:uh just notice this the nfl scheduling card that i quirk that i did not know could exist anymore The Raiders do not have a single Thursday night game, Monday night game, a primetime game, or an international game. Every single game they play is on Sunday at 1 p.m. Eastern or 4 p.m. Eastern. I did not think that was possible anymore. I didn't know either because I thought everybody had to play at least one game on Thursday night. Who wants to see him that, Meyer? I don't say nothing. True. But even though nobody wants to see him, it still wants to see they had to play one game. Hey, you want to say the games, those Thursdays and those Sunday nights and those games out of town, you want to say those games for teams that everybody and their mama want to watch, everybody and their mama want to see.

31:11People that don't even watch the game of football, especially when you're playing in other countries, everybody wants to go and, you know, come on now. No disrespect to the Raiders. Now they have an opportunity where those things can change maybe in the future, but right now, no. maybe when they get picked next year and Fernando Mendoza the starter my bad my bad my bad Joe I'm just my bad

46:46Shannon Sharpe:last season. You like this deal for Armin Thompson, Joe?

46:49Chad Johnson:I think he's a hell of a player, Ocho. You know,$208 million. Man, they're going to expect a lot out of you. You know, I know he expects to improve each and every year, but you got to get a damn jump shot in today's game. Got to get a jump shot, Ocho. The money they just paid him, man, he should come back shooting that thing with a lot of confidence. All he should be doing is putting up jump shots, you know, this summer. I mean, because look, that tells me one thing the Houston Rockets really believe that he is like that. They invest that type of money into you. Come on, bro. You got to develop this jumper.

47:26Chad Johnson:They going to need that.

47:28Shannon Sharpe:Man, I'll be with KD. I like KD, bro. I just need to piggyback off you for the year. Wherever you go, I'm going. I'm getting up shots with you.

47:36Chad Johnson:You know what it is? It could be some of the smallest minute things. It could be the way he hold a ball before he shoot. It could be he got too much hand on his ball before he shoot. You know what I mean? When you just want to – come on, Ocho. Pause. Pause. But you just want to have your fingertips. You want to have your fingertips. You want to use your fingertips. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So it could be something just as – it could be something as simple, Chad, as him not keeping his shoulder square to the basket when he shoot. A lot of times it becomes something very, very small. You just have to put in repetitions, repetitions, repetitions, and that will help that young man.

48:13Chad Johnson:But there can't be at no time during the season, this season, to where he's left wide open, shooting wide open threes, and he's shooting air balls off the side of the basket. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't have that, bro. You can't have that.

48:25Shannon Sharpe:You're right.

48:26Chad Johnson:You can't have that. But outside of that, he is a hell of a player, a hell of an athlete. You probably can't find nobody outside his brother in the NBA who can do what he can do. So, yeah, I think it's warranted. But, you know, we're still basing it off potential. so he still has some room for improvement. Yeah.

48:48Shannon Sharpe:I like it too, Joe. I mean, he and his brother are hell of a defender, but like you said, at some point in time, you can't get this kind of money just playing defense. They expect you to put the bucket. They expect you to expand. 18, that need to go to 20. But it's the shots, bro. I'm like, bro, you in the NBA and you hitting the side of the back bar?

49:05Chad Johnson:Yeah, that's the tough part. Because in the NBA, especially in the playoffs, when the floor shrinks and the outside is open, you're going to need guys who got a lot of confidence who can take and make those shots. Knocked down. Yeah, because if KD – if we ain't going to let KD play Uncle Ocho, oh, man, we're going to live with Reed Shepard and the Thompson kid and Shingun and Jabari Smith Jr. If they're going to beat us, we're going to shake their hand and tell them good game. Yeah.

49:35Shannon Sharpe:You saw the Lakers strategy. Lakers strategy, what they do? Double KD? Make him get the ball up. As soon as he comes across, run him into that trap, send him one way, and then, hey, here come the trap from the backside. Make him throw the ball away. Guys weren't cutting. Guys were standing around like, hey, you're the best player on the team. Make it happen. Nobody was cutting, diving to the basket, and KD was throwing the ball out of bounds. Yeah, yeah.

49:59Chad Johnson:So he need – I think L.A. played him the best. The Lakers played – I felt like the Lakers played the Rockets the best because the way they played KD, they made all those other guys beat them and they couldn't beat them, bro.

50:11Shannon Sharpe:Yes. They couldn't beat them. And then they have no answer for GOAT? You know GOAT gonna do what GOAT does.

50:16Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We know what GOAT gonna do. What are we talking about, Jordan? James. Late, bro.

50:29Shannon Sharpe:Donovan Mitchell says, alcohol is what allowed him to score 71 points against the Chicago Bulls. We played them on New Year's Eve. Then we had a New Year's at Cleveland. Then we played the next day. Now I will say this. I've never drank before a game of my life, and it was New Year's. So I did have a drink, a few drinks that night before the game. Never done that in my career. I haven't done it since. So I tell people that was probably what, you know, allowed me to have that type of night. Hey, guess what? I'll be having a drink before every game. Joe, let me ask you a question, Joe. You have a drink before a game.

51:06Shannon Sharpe:You score 71 points. You stop it.

51:09Chad Johnson:Well, I don't know. Because here's what you got to take into consideration. If I drank the night before the game, you know, I already know my focus and my height, my sense of awareness is going to have to be extremely high the next day in the game because I'm like, damn, I done went out here and partied, had a good time. I got locked in. You know what I mean? Meanwhile, had I not went out, had I not drank, I probably wouldn't even had 71. I think it was the focus that probably led Donovan today considering the fact knowing damn I don't even really drink like that. I ain't never drink before a game now I'd have had a drink and we play tomorrow I can't come out here and look like no slow because the people who know I had drinks, you know They gonna be talking about me.

51:51Chad Johnson:You know what I mean? Right So I think I think that has something to do with it and outside of him just being a hell of a player But I think it was more of the focus that he probably came into the game with

52:01Shannon Sharpe:Well, I'd have me another drink So I'm going to be focused like that again

52:04Chad Johnson:Hold on, so every game

52:06Shannon Sharpe:You've been having you a drink I would have, let me go out there and have a drink Before we play on Sunday And I go out there and have 210 Ocho, you'd have Let's just say, Ocho, I said Okay, Ocho, for this meal right here I want you to have Regular egg whites, oatmeal And some water And you go out there and catch for 250 What you doing the next week, Ocho? egg whites, oatmeal, and water. Hold on. You get another 175. What you doing the following week, Coach O? Because we superstitious, man. We put up a game like that?

52:42Chad Johnson:Yeah. Hey, but hold up, though. I heard, I seen the thing with Clem Portis. Well, he said you told him, you can't go in there and talk to Coach O. You got to go run that out. Think about that. Yeah, hell yeah. Had he not ran that out and threw up and then going into the game like, damn. You know, Cap Sharpton told me, I can't, you know what I mean? I got to bring it tonight. You know what I mean? The focus that he probably had going into that game, he did the hot and cold contrast and all that. He probably thought, well, I can't be playing out here tonight. Boy, probably the best game of his life.

53:13Shannon Sharpe:I need you to have the same focus you had when you was pouring them drinks back. You forget I was there. I saw you pouring them drinks back. So, David, I want you to have that same focus that you had when you was taking them shots back. Yeah. Have that level of focus in the game. Tell me, he can't play. Tell me, man, I'm hungover. I'm going to hang my foot in your ass. You'll get your ass out there. Hey, hold on. That ain't got nothing to do with us.

53:38Chad Johnson:He had a hell of a time that night. Yeah.

53:44Shannon Sharpe:That's on me. I should have stopped it. I should have like, hey, Pope, that's enough right there. But you know, he was having a good time. It never dawned on me that he would like.

53:54Shannon Sharpe:But the thing was, this was from like two nights ago. He was still hungover. Because you got to realize, Friday night, and then Saturday, we don't come over there and watch Friday's Red Zone, do a little walkthrough. Ain't nobody really doing nothing. He still was messed up.

54:16Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah. Man, that's a funny story, bro.

54:21Shannon Sharpe:You'll get your ass out of here 71 Joe you score 70 points So whatever you did you scored that 70 points You're gonna break that routine and not do it again

54:35Chad Johnson:It just depends on what I was doing I ain't gonna lie to y 'all I done had some games To where I felt I was just in great rhythm And couldn't miss And I had a long night the night before It happened But it's gonna catch up with you It may not happen that night, but the next couple nights, hell, one of them nights, you know what I mean? It's going to catch up with you, especially in basketball, because, hell, we playing them every other night.

54:57Shannon Sharpe:We'll have to catch up with me. But they won't catch up with me before I get me a couple of more of them. Man, Ocho, what would you do if you went out there and you had a 300-yard game, Ocho? Come on, man. You know what I'm doing, bro. Hey, I had a good game. Whatever I did before that game started, well, I'm going to repeat that. 300? It ain't been a whole lot of 300-yard games in NFL history, Joe. It ain't been a whole lot of 300. The record is 339 by Flip.

55:29Chad Johnson:What's the recent one? Who got one recently? Was it Megatron? Hold on. Megatron had three. A 300-yard game? I thought Julio had one of them big guys. I thought he had like. 300 on the head, yeah, against Carolina. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, quarterback, you got to be damn his best friend, boy, don't you?

55:50Shannon Sharpe:Uh-huh. Flip went crazy on him that night. That was on New Orleans on a Sunday night. Damn. I played with Flip. Flip Anderson played with you? Yeah. Where? In Denver? In Denver, yeah. Flip came out, my brother, Flip came out in 88. Flip was the second-round pick of the Rams. Oh, Flip.

56:16Shannon Sharpe:Now it's time for our final segment of the evening. It is time for Q and A.

56:24When you leave, Joe?

56:27Chad Johnson:Early in the morning. I'm at like 9, 9 a.m. or something like that. I'm right there with you. I'm finna start driving tonight. What do you mean? I'm finna drive to Houston, bro. Come on. Come on, man.

56:41Shannon Sharpe:What up, Dicam Crew? What do y 'all think about the Sixers adding Taco Fall and Jameer Nelson Jr.? Wait, listen, hold on. Orlando Magic Jameer Nelson? Yeah, his son. His son made it already?

56:58Chad Johnson:Hey, I'm going to tell y 'all something. I don't mind it. I don't mind the Jameer Nelson Jr. signing, and I definitely don't mind the Taco. Taco is 7 '5", Ocho. He's 7 '5". Now, he don't move like Wimby, but he ain't no big stiff neither. You know what I mean? He got some mobility to him at his size to where I think, you know, you can find some minutes for him if you Philly. That's what I'm saying. He can help you. I think he can help you. With them veteran guys they got around. Hold on. They said Philly or Boston? Philly. Oh, okay. I like Taco. He done been overseas, I think. Probably had a few lessons he done learned over there.

57:40Chad Johnson:since leaving the nba not getting an opportunity to come back and play on this stack team in philly what i like it i like it texas gonna put bta on bingos and cowgirls well what hold on come again the texas gonna put bta on bingos and cowgirls hey don't be so Mind your mouth now.

They planning the structured environment. Jeff Teague can't even beat me. So that don't matter none. One-on-one. Oh, you going to beat Teague?

I tell you what Joe, if you got a problem with me saying your name, I'll see you in less than 12 hours. Say less partner, we ain't gotta talk about it no more. We ain't gotta talk about it no more. I see you in 12 hours Joe. Okay, all right, we ain't gotta talk about it no more. All right.

1:03:13Shannon Sharpe:Man, they don't already know I get, anytime I get a rider, I always have them. I say, you know, if you're going to have a meal, I normally get chicken and rice. I get Oreo, lemon Oreos, and I get three bottles of water.

1:03:33Chad Johnson:Hold on. You say you get chicken and rice and lemon Oreos? Yeah. You're an Oreo here. You can't.

1:03:41Shannon Sharpe:I like lemon, though. I don't like the regular ones. I mean, I like them, but I like lemon Oreos.

1:03:46Chad Johnson:Oh, okay.

1:03:47Shannon Sharpe:I mess with them lemon Oreos heavy like that.

1:03:50Chad Johnson:Oh, okay.

1:03:50Shannon Sharpe:So that's what I always get on my rider. You know who the rider is, right, Ocho? A who? A rider. Like a low rider, yeah, in LA. No, it's the sheet that you get when you do a commercial shoot or you got a concert, you put on there what you want. I want chicken and rice. I want broccoli. I want Oreos. I want drinks. I want this type of water. I want sparkling water. I want flat water. I don't do that, man. Anytime I have a commercial shoot or anytime a shoot of that nature, they know to have me Starbucks and McDonald's. And if whatever state... Okay, that's what you put on your rider. No, no, I just tell them.

1:04:23I don't need the rider on nothing. They already know.

1:04:28Shannon Sharpe:It's still... Even though... That's what it's called. That's how they know to get it because you told them that's what you wanted. But most of the time, you fill out the rider and that's what you get. So that's what I normally get. And I take my stuff home too.

1:04:48Shannon Sharpe:Oh, eat your food. You with family. I ate the fries. I'm going to eat the burger here in a minute. Because I'm going to be up. I've been asleep. I've been asleep since I got to the hotel. You already out there? I'm already here. Goddamn, boy. Well, you got that fad, didn't you? I thought y 'all was coming with me, but I know I can't really count on nobody. Hey, ain't nobody telling me. I'm on the front. Yeah. Shoot. But you know, Joe ain't getting the little slip. Okay.

1:05:16Chad Johnson:We've been doing good. We had a good show. Come on now. Come on now. Come on. Come on. Come on now. Damn.

1:05:26Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

1:05:30Shannon Sharpe:I almost didn't make it. Someone was trying to seduce me. What? Hey, you'd have been all right if you didn't make that. They tried to seduce you, cuz. Damn.

1:05:39Chad Johnson:Damn. Go ahead and handle what you handle.

1:05:43Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

1:05:47Shannon Sharpe:Who has more to lose with a bad 2026 season? Jalen Hurts, Deshaun Watson, Tua. Man, I don't really know what Deshaun can do to really help. Yeah, me neither. Even if he does, when he still won't get. I mean, listen, this is. Exactly. Obviously, Jalen Hurts. Because, I mean, they was hoping. I mean, I've been reading that they were hoping that Tua would play better than he played in the games and in practice, and it hadn't gone as well as they had hoped from what I've been reading. Now, I don't know if somebody's just making that up, but I've been reading. That's what I read. But I don't think – I just think the thing is that we just got to stop expecting Jalen Hurst to throw for 4 ,000 yards, 4 ,500 yards, because that's not what he is as a quarterback.

1:06:36Shannon Sharpe:except him throwing, you know, get you about 50, 60 yards rushing, throw for about 215, 230, and that's who he is. He's not no guy that's going to throw for – he's not Matthew Stafford. He's not Joe Burrow. He's not one of these guys that's going to sling it all over the yard because that's not what's asked of him. You can't ask him to be something that they're not asking him to do.

1:07:02Shannon Sharpe:And if he got to throw the ball like that, That means they're behind. They like to play for a lead. They like to dictate when they run the football, when they throw the football, and that's what they can do as long as they play with a lead. When they get behind, it gets hard for them to dictate. But I don't think Jalen Hurts is going to have a bad year. I just don't think he's going to have the type of year everybody, like all of a sudden he's going to throw for 4 ,200 yards. That's not who he is. Not only is that not who he is, that's not what that offense asks of him to do. I agree. Oh, remember when you said you was going to serve fried catfish at the wedding?

1:07:38Shannon Sharpe:I also, also, who the hell is Chuck? And why is he always stuck? That's just to say it is in the South. Stuck like Chuck. Yeah, yeah. Man, what's wrong with fried catfish at the wedding? People got all upset. Oh, you wouldn't pay 30. No, I would rather pay, I would rather give my daughter a half a million to put down on a house or to get a house as opposed to paying all this money for a wedding that half the people there don't go. No, absolutely not. She just show it out. Yeah. Yeah. Why not get something that's going to be sustainable? A half a million for a house or a half a million on a wedding?

1:08:23Mm-mm.

1:08:24Shannon Sharpe:I'll tell you one thing. The more expensive the wedding, never mind. I ain't going to say nothing. The quicker you're going to get divorced.

1:08:31Chad Johnson:Hey, hey, hey, so what we doing? We all just gonna go down to the courthouse? Hey, I'm all for that. I thought we were gonna have a ceremony, a little small ceremony, a little intimate, you know, nothing too big, immediate family, you know, friends, a few - Ocho, you got like 15 kids. Listen, a little immediate family. How many people you bringing? Probably 10.

1:08:56Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, you got 10 kids. That's all I need, and two more, two cameraman. Okay, what about your brother? They're the two cameramen.

1:09:08Yeah, hey, listen, I quit. Hey, my kids, boom. How many Cambodia bring it? Oh, they gonna watch virtually. They all the way in Cambodia.

1:09:24Chad Johnson:They gonna watch virtually. Boy, you got, you shot out.

1:09:28Shannon Sharpe:Hey, that made out of this damn bad. Chad, y 'all see this? They imagine, but they watching the wedding virtually. With Joe the only child, Rochelle, Joe people probably got probably like 10 at least.

1:09:43Chad Johnson:Yeah, she probably got 10. I ain't got nobody. I'm coming with my kid. See? Don't like these. Yeah. I got three, though. They put me down for three, huh? No pressure. I mean, you could, oh, I know No, no, no, no.

1:10:03Shannon Sharpe:Libby, spanky mama.

1:10:08Six.

1:10:09Shannon Sharpe:Oh, okay. I can't wait. Hey, we gonna, we gonna like. Oh, I gotta break, I gotta break bucket and burn. So eight, put me down for eight. All right. Hey, look, hey, nightcap wedding boy. Hey, listen, that, that, that, that might take the cake boy. Hey, live stream that. Ooh. And it's so funny we ain't got to pay nobody to marry us because I'm already ordained minister See, huh? Well, how you'll get mad and deliver the ceremony to say

1:10:46Shannon Sharpe:Oh, I'll burst it Boy, they gonna say y 'all boy. We got the boot most bootleg wedding in the history In the history of wedding, they're going to say we got the most bootleg wedding. The most bootleg wedding is why I stuff going to last 20, 30 years. There you go.

1:11:02Chad Johnson:There you go. Yeah. This is for marriage, not a wedding. Some people just want the wedding, the aesthetics, the pretty conversation. Ooh, girl, you soft.

1:11:16Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but see, that's what you got to understand. The woman that you get in Ocho, the woman that you with, is she for marriage or for the mattress? Come on now. Come on, preach now. It ain't got to be... I'm just asking. Is she marriage material or is she just mattress material? Boy, I ain't never... No, no, no. Come on. Hey, let me get my pen and paper. Boy, that was a bar, boy.

1:11:47Shannon Sharpe:Damn. They not the same. I'm going to write that down. This is a bill. I'm gonna write it on my bill, but that was a good one, boy. Yeah, boy. Is she marriage material or is she mattress material? Sometimes they tend to confuse what's for fun and try to keep it around long term.

1:12:08Chad Johnson:They mistake their lust for love, don't they? Come on, Joe. Yeah. Talk like you, Joe. Let me get my... Boy, y 'all got me sweating talking like this.

1:12:22Shannon Sharpe:That's your hair bad.

1:12:26Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, pound for pound, you a Mount Rushmore entertainer. Also, you and Soulja Boy were pioneers in the digital content. They got a tough one for you, Ocho. AB Julio Megatron. Start bench cutting. I'm gonna tell you like this. You know I'm always going with AB. I'm always going with home team. We got - He started - Well, we know he started in AB. Yeah, he started in AB. You gotta understand me. AB go way, way back. You know, growing up, growing up, he was a little younger than me. Washington, New Orleans growing up. Boom. We trained the entirety of our careers together in the offseason. Now, the hard part is number two.

1:12:59The hard part is number two.

1:13:02Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I'm going to go with my brother Calvin Johnson. I'm going to go with my brother Calvin Johnson. Even though Julio, I love Julio to death. I love what Julio has done and accomplished throughout his NFL career. And I'm just going with Calvin Johnson because his last name is Johnson. You can't go wrong either way you go, Joe. So, I mean, Julio Jones, Calvin Johnson. I mean, come on now. We talk about two or two of the best, you know, worthy of being top five all time. So whether I go Julio, whether I go Calvin Johnson, it's all on preference at that point. But I'm just picking Calvin because his last name is Johnson.

1:13:34Chad Johnson:Okay. Okay.

1:13:37Shannon Sharpe:Big three, what's good? Y 'all have fun and be safe in H-Town. With the MVP being a quarterback award, who do you think has the best chance to win it as a non-quarterback? Nobody. I was going to say that on the show. I can't thank anybody. Even look at the list of the top 100 players in the top five, in the top three, top ten, nobody. That's not a quarterback. That's not happening.

1:14:09Shannon Sharpe:You think about it. Once you come to win the triple crown, Chase won the triple crown, and I don't even think he got offensive player of the year. Puka Nakua, not Puka. Cooper Cupp was offensive player of the year with the triple crown, but he was like 20 yards short of breaking Calvin Johnson's record. Yeah. I can't think. I mean, unless a running back breaks, if a running back is going to need to break Eric Dickinson's record, he'll probably have to have like 25 touchdowns. Damn. And then they'll give it to him.

1:14:44Chad Johnson:What's the record, the running back record?

1:14:47Shannon Sharpe:21-05. As far as rush yards, and most touchdowns by an individual player is LaDainian Thomason had 31.

1:14:59Shannon Sharpe:So you have to break Eric Dickerson's record, get 30 touchdowns as a running back, you're going to be the MVP that year. Unless the quarterback throw for 6 ,000 yards and 60 touchdowns, then you're not going to win the MVP. You're going to be offensive player of the year again. you. Good thing, man. 2 ,000 rushing yards, Joe. Well, that's two seasons in one, bro.

1:15:21Chad Johnson:Hey, and that's why, OK, Ocho, you know, when I look at the Eagles, I know they won it that year. They didn't let Saquon get it those, what was it, the last game? Yeah. But yo, them opportunities, they ain't like they coming up every year, bro. Nope. You know, he'll probably never get back there. he'll probably never get back to that again. He'll probably still be at 12, 13, 1400 yards.

1:15:49Shannon Sharpe:The closest anybody's ever been is Derrick Henry. He had a 2 ,000-yard rush season, and then remember his first year in Baltimore, he rushed for 19, 20-something. That's the closest. E.D. had 18.08, and then he rushed for 29. Then he rushed for 21.05.

1:16:05Chad Johnson:And this was in less games too, right?

1:16:08Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. E.D. did it in 16 games. OJ was the only one that rushed for 2014 games What them boys was toting that peel boy Yeah we used to tote it back there Alright so Ocho What order would you pick Teddy Song Lady Lenny Williams I Love You Luther If Only Fun One Night And Marvin Gaye I Love Y 'all Lenny Williams going first boy Lenny going first I love you, boy. Lenny Williams watched TV till TV went off, man. What we talking about? Back in the day, that's what TV did. They didn't have this to just continue with channel. After midnight, the TV went fuzzy. Yeah. AC number standing. Lenny Williams was classic, boy.

1:16:55Lenny going first. Who the other two? You got Teddy Lady.

1:17:01Shannon Sharpe:Luther Dandruff. You got Luther, if only for one night. And Marvin Gaye wanting you.

1:17:07Chad Johnson:Oh, that's tough. That Luther gonna go number two. And then that Marvin Gaye. Then you putting Teddy P. Les? Yeah. Hey, there's some jams everywhere.

1:17:25Shannon Sharpe:Will Clint Kubiak use Jenty and Mike Washington Jr. the same way he used two backs in Seattle? Looks like Tom Brady was worth bringing in and attracts coaches like this to come to the Raiders. Yeah, I mean, look, the thing is that his dad, he's always had one running back. If you go back and look at, in Denver, we've always had a singular running back. From TD to Mike Anderson to Clinton Porters to Ruben Drones to all, he's always had one. Now, I think there was one year that they had two running backs. But for the most part, it all depends. If the running back is going good, Clint ain't taking him out.

1:18:08Chad Johnson:Yeah.

1:18:09Shannon Sharpe:He's not.

1:18:14Shannon Sharpe:But we got to see how healthy he is. Because remember, excuse me, Gentry hurt his knee the last time, you know, hurt his, not his knee, hurt his ankle. Yeah. So we got to see the seriousness of the ankle, how injury prone is it. And I will Tyron Lee says fourth and six game on the line defenses play a man What what you guys drawing up Who out there I'm out there Yeah, it all appears I gotta have one go I gotta have one deep one short one intermediate Hold on how many yards he say it don't matter Joe.

1:20:26Chad Johnson:Texans. Cowboys, come on, man. Come on. You just going off their defense. That's the only thing you're going here. Oh, you're going off their Cowboys offense? Yeah, but what I'm – no, no, no. I'm going off that our defense is going to be a lot better than what it's been in the past. That's what I'm saying.

1:20:41Shannon Sharpe:Well, I think C.J. Stride will be better than what he's been in the past.

1:20:45Chad Johnson:Well, come on, man. Come on.
