In short

Ernest Jones (Seattle Seahawks) discusses his sudden trade from the Rams to the Seahawks, Seattle’s defensive turnaround, and what he’s learned from elite defenders like Aaron Donald. The show also pivots into discussion about Tyreek Hill’s season-ending knee injury and whether he can regain elite value, plus sports talk segments and banter.

Guests (and backgrounds)

Ernest Jones IV, starting middle linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks; previously with the Los Angeles Rams, where he won a Super Bowl. He’s known for high tackle production (the hosts reference 130–140 tackles). Other voices are the hosts (Arnold Bogarty ad reads; “Ocho” and “Unc” style commentary), plus a Tyreek Hill injury/agent update via Drew Rosenhaus (not a live guest).

Key claims

Jones says the trade “came out of nowhere” after a training camp practice in Houston. He credits Seahawks defensive coordinator Mike McDonald for putting players in great pass-rush positions. He says Seattle’s defense is elite early (fewest points allowed, strong red-zone defense, takeaways, sacks, run defense). He praises Aaron Donald’s relentless effort and ability to wreck offenses even when double-teamed. On Tyreek Hill, the show claims surgery went well, rehab is the focus, and a realistic goal is the start of next season.

Notable examples

Seahawks “12th man” noise at Lumen Field; learning from Aaron Donald’s practice intensity; Jones’ personal goals (health, affecting middle passes, fluid space tackles); Tyreek Hill’s dislocated kneecap with multiple torn ligaments including ACL, and the agent’s “play next season” timeline.

2:46Shannon Sharpe:what's up? What's up? Now our second guest joining us Won the Super Bowl with the Rams Played unbelievable A tackling machine Here you are starting middle linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks Ernest Jones That's it Yes sir how y 'all doing How y 'all doing Man we doing good I'm here on the road Chilling Hey I can tell you something real quick Talk to me Hey, do you feel blessed that you ain't got to deal with me in today's game? Honestly, I wish you was out there. We wouldn't have to worry about you too much. You don't think so? Not at all. But you know I would have ran you over a little bit. You know we got a Devin Witherspoon out there, right?

3:37Who? A Devin Witherspoon. The only Witherspoon I know is the kind I eat with. That's it. And running me over with never happened, man. but but i'm 236 i've seen what ray did to you you know ray

4:00Shannon Sharpe:uh urnest man thanks for joining us bro you fit right in with in seattle i mean you having a great you've having a let's go back the rams bro you playing out of your mind you 130 140 tackles what happened with the Rams? I mean, we still trying to figure it out. Honestly, we don't know. We really don't know. All I know is we ended a training camp practice in Houston. I get off the plane ahead to my car and I get the call like, hey, we finna trade you. And I didn't really see it coming. Thought it was a joke at first, but they were real serious. hold on what did were you at hello what you were you asking for a contract what what left something had to precipitate this we never even got there I never got to talk numbers with them um just just just nothing nothing uh it came out of nowhere for us on our end um but honestly I'm fortunate and glad it happened though because landing intent I mean Seattle really changed everything for me.

5:08Shannon Sharpe:Now you get to be yourself. You go to a team that Seattle, they pride themselves on defense. Ever since the Legion of Boom and all those guys with Earl and Sherm and Chancellor and all those guys, Averill and Bennett, from their Wags, B-Wags, from that time on, this has been a defensive-led football team. And you land in a defensive-led football team. You mentioned Witherspoon. You mentioned Wolin. You mentioned the guys that you guys now have. How has that transition been so seamless? Because it seems like you were drafted to Seattle, like you were born to play in Seattle. I agree with you there.

5:45That's how I feel. I think the biggest thing that's different from there than a lot of the places that I've been, it's 53 other guys in that locker room, man. They dogs, man. They play football the right way. It's for the love of the game. And getting in there in October, once I was there, they welcomed me in so seamlessly. and it just was a perfect fit.

6:08Shannon Sharpe:Now, I don't know if you know this. They traded you to Seattle, right? You know what that means? You know when a team trades you within the division, you know they don't have a whole lot of respect for you, Ernest. You know that, right? Well, they traded me to Tennessee first. Oh, well, you got to see what you're buying. See, they tried to keep you out of the division. But now you got to see me twice. So now, okay, so you look up there, you say, you know what? We got y 'all such and such week, and we got y 'all such and such a week. I don't know what's going to happen, but I promise you, y 'all going to feel 13.

6:47Oh, yeah. 100%. I'll be there. Whatever time the game starts, I'll be there early.

6:54What has it been like playing out there in that stadium? I remember being out there, that 12th man. And, boy, you can't hear nothing, boy. Boy, nothing. But what is that feeling like, man, being out there with those fans? I mean, like you said, you can't hear nothing. I remember coming up here when I was with the Rams. And, you know, the stadium, of course, I'm on defense, and their offense is gone, so I really don't hear the noise. But, man, my first game here, when we played Buffalo, I was like, this is real. Yeah. The 12, they show up everywhere, anywhere. Rain, sleet, snow, or hell, they're going to show up.

7:28But it's good to have a fan base that comes to support us, and we got to show out for them.

7:36Shannon Sharpe:Seahawks, they're allowing the second-fewest points, their third-best red zone defense, fourth-most takeaways, sixth-most sacks, sixth-best run defense. How have you guys, at the quarter pole, how have you guys been able to play so well so quickly on defense? I guess for us, I think the cliche answer would be like, you know, we trust in the guys next to us. we put into work. But I'm going to be honest with you, man. Mike McDonald, he the man. He puts us in great positions to get after quarterbacks, get after opposing offenses. Throughout the week, he gets us ready. And, man, on Sunday, he calls a great game.

8:12So a lot of it has to do with, you know, our ability and us going out there and executing. But our coach got us dialed in right now.

8:21Shannon Sharpe:When you look back, think about it. You was on that team that won the Super Bowl, Vaughn Miller. You got AD. You got Floyd. You had Ram. I mean, have you ever thought of it? I mean, did you go home and be like, damn, boy, we got this defense for real. And, man, shoot, every day that whole year, I was just thinking about it, man. Before the Super Bowl, I'm sitting up there reminiscing on like, okay, big moment. This is what you've been kind of working for. And I think I ended it with like, shoot, just don't fuck it up for Aaron Donald. with them. Just don't mess it up with them. So I went out there and just went out there and played and balled.

9:02But man, that, learning from the best there is to play AD,

9:09even Waddle. Waddle came in and showed me what it's like to be a true teammate, true leader. So big credits and shout out to those guys.

9:17Shannon Sharpe:What was it like watching Aaron Donald? Because I remember watching him come out and I saw him at the Super Bowl before the draft and they're like, I was like, damn, I said, man, that's Aaron Donald. I said, that little rascal? He the one to be called? Because when you look at him, he's not a – I mean, he has wide shoulders, but you look at him, he's like six foot tall. Like, man, him? Boy, when I watched his first game when he was a rookie, when I watched him when he was not at Pitt, I was like, ain't no way him raising all that hell. Raising hell. Taking on double teams, splitting double teams, getting skinny.

9:54and doing everything.

9:55Shannon Sharpe:Everything you can think of. When you first saw him, what did you think? When you first saw him, what did you think, Ernest? When I first saw him, I'm going to be honest, I didn't know too much about him. Of course, he was Aaron Donald, had been in the league a couple years, but I wasn't really all the way hip to him like I should have been. I can remember the first day I was out there giving calls and he didn't get the call and he told me to speak up. The way he said it just caught me off guard. I'm like, I can't let this grown man talk to me like that. But to sit back and watch him, I found myself a lot of times watching him, watching him create habit, destroy stuff.

10:31And there's been times, man, he stopped practicing. They told him to get out. So I've seen some things.

10:39Shannon Sharpe:Because you can't get anything done. If he's giving it 100 % effort, you see what he does on Sunday. Now, everybody don't got a Zach Martin or a Quentin Nelson to be able to deal with it. Or what's the guy in Seattle? I mean, not Seattle, but the 49ers. What's the left tackle name, Mocho? Big Trent. Everybody don't got that. So if he says, you know what? I'm just going to wreck shop today. Y 'all ain't going to get nothing done. You're not going to get anything done. He decides when he wants to do that. That's crazy. Your squad started the season with the 20th best odds to make the Super Bowl.

11:19Shannon Sharpe:Every publication had you guys pick dead last. Now, all of a sudden, hey, it looked like you and you and it might come down to you and you. It's turning, huh? It's turning. That was the plan, though. That's the plan. We know what it is. I firmly believe when the NFC West, when all four of those teams are smoking and on fire, man, that's one of the hardest divisions to come out of. So we know what's on the line. We know who we got to get through to get there. And we last game of the season. This is for the division. Rams takes on the Seahawks. This is for the division. What can we expect from Ernest Jones?

12:01Oh man, a performance. I'm ready to ball out. A performance. Something sweet, slow, and sexy. And you know what's funny? Defense, y 'all, the numbers speak for itself. Already a quarter way through the season. But that goddamn Sam Donald and JSN? Ballers. they might they might be the next big thing that that that duo right there is growing um to see where they came from from otas when offensively they were learning new couldn't really figure it out to see them guys where they're at now and it's just a start like those are sam's a baller cool composed and jsn's a quiet killer out there

12:42Shannon Sharpe:were you surprised the ad stepped away when he did because you're talking about a guy that played 10 years he won three mvps he won uh uh i mean he was phenomenal he's an eight time nine time first team all pro i mean and he's just like you know what i don't want to do it no more i don't have the passion to train which what it requires me to be the ad that y 'all see every sunday that takes the off season and i'm done with that i i truly i could say i wasn't surprised because we kind of knew coming into that year that it was going to be it. But I'd say you just said it. For him to, you know, I guess be honest with himself and know that, you know, I don't have what it takes to be Aaron Donald.

13:25I don't want to come out here and do the training camp. And steal their money. And hunt. And just, you know, be taken like you just said. It was kind of honorable for him to put it up the way he did. Went out on his sword. Went out at the top of his game. And, you know, you got to talk about him for years now. He's one of the best. My name is Tuba Nguyen, and enrolling at Rasmussen University was essentially a handshake to a lifeline, a career, stability, and a future for myself.

16:57What the hell else does he have to prove?

16:59Shannon Sharpe:He has nothing else to prove. I mean, a lot of people don't have anything to prove, but they're hard to walk away from 30 million. Did he walk away from it? I think they were still paying my boy a little bit. I mean, because I mean, like I said, it wasn't like you saw slippage in his game. He could still split the double team. He's one-on-one. Hey, and he lined up. He turned in every door. Oh, this, oh, this is locked. Oh, man, they left this one open. He's going to stay right there. He moving up and down the line.

19:51Shannon Sharpe:What, when you come, I want to know the goals. So when you come, when you start the season, when you get ready, it's like, okay, I'll be getting ready to go to training camp. Give me some, give me some of the goals that you set for yourself. Oh man, I'm sorry. I think for me, some of the goals that I set when it, when it comes to coming out of training camp, are you saying on a personal level or just as far as the thing? Yeah, on a personal level. Obviously you want to win. Obviously you're like, if I do what I'm supposed to do, we going to win because I'm going to get, Maybe about 150. No, for sure.

20:22I'll say for me coming into this season specifically, this is the healthiest I've been. I dealt with a knee issue for the past two years and am still able to play at a pretty good level. But for me, this year was coming in healthy, and then it was from that, let's take the next step in my game. Let's start affecting these passes that come across this middle and coverage a little bit more. Let's be more fluid out in space, make those tackles, and let's just see what happens, man. Of course, I want to go all pro. I want to be a pro bowler. But I'm all about winning, getting there, and doing what's best for my team.

20:56You want another piece of jewelry, huh? I need it. This one over here getting lonely, man. I need another one.

21:03Shannon Sharpe:Let me ask you a question. Do you wear it? Like when you go on road trips, you suit it and boot it. Have you pulled it out? Do you wear it or do you just like, nah, I got to get you a part and I got to get you on board? No, I'm wearing it. I pulled it out today for the first time. Today was the first time in a while. But I don't wear it. I'm waiting to get a twin sister. Yeah, you got to get a twin. You got to get a twin for it. Because he lonely up there. You know, he's like, damn, I ain't got nobody to talk to. I ain't got nobody to holler at or nothing. What's going on? I need it. And we keep going the way we're going and just keep getting better.

21:37I think we got a great shot at it. Ocho, you got anything else? No, no, no. I'm done. I'm done. My last thing for Ocho. Hey, that Madden, overall, we got to tighten up. Tell me what you mean, bud. Hey, listen, I take care of the receivers and the DBs. I don't really operate with the linebackers and stuff.

22:01Shannon Sharpe:What you need, speed? You need sprint? For me, it's overall. I think we're lacking a couple things. The tackling, I think we do need to be better. Missed four tackles last year. Ain't too many people only missing four tackles. We got to get that up a little bit. Right. So what's your overall right now? I think I'm like an 81. Damn. 81. Yeah, yeah, that real low. That real low. I don't agree with that. Listen, I got a meeting with the EA team in the morning. I'm going to address that. I'm going to bring it up. I appreciate it. I'm going to bring it up. Like, I'm really not in a position to bring it up if it's not a skilled position, like receiving DB.

22:37But I can sit on the table for you because it's on film. I appreciate that. That's all I play for is the film. I got you. I got you, Twain. I got you. Who y 'all got this?

22:48Shannon Sharpe:That's going to be a good one. Yeah. They got A. They got A. Bucky Irving and White, they can run the ball. Baker throwing it A. That's going to be a good matchup. It's going to be a good one. They come out to Lumen, so we'll see them Sunday. See, I played in Lumen before y 'all wasn't good. It wasn't a crowd noise. Matter of fact, Ocho, you know how to be like this here? I was like, I was on the opposing team like, get up. Damn. I feel like I'm in church. It's going to pop this week. The hell? It's going to pop this week. Oh, for sure. Oh, for sure. So when you got to Seattle, did you go to the market?

23:28Shannon Sharpe:I haven't been yet. Damn, Martin, what the hell you waiting on? And you got to go catch the fish. I got here in October. The only thing I was trying to do was figure out a playbook. I get you. I was trying to figure that out. But we're going to get there. Me and my wife are going to get down there at some point. So you like seafood? You like fish? I go for fish. I'm allergic to shrimp, but other seafood, I'm stalling. I'm allergic to shellfish also. It's just shrimp for me, which is crazy. No, shrimp, lobster, crab, oysters, scallop. It's a scallop, Jordan. Now, I can eat calamari. I love calamari.

24:07Shannon Sharpe:But that's the difference. That's a crustacean and a mullet. So they're two different. I'll tell you about it later, Ojo. But anyway. Hey, you don't, what's your diet like? You're not one of them healthy eaters and eat all that good stuff. Ocho, I'm going to be mad here. I'm like you. I'm going to get it in. I'm going to get it. I will say I ain't been to McDonald's in a minute, but I'm going to get full. I'm going to just eat. That's what I'm talking about. And see, people want to understand, they want to question, why is he so good? Why is he great? Why is he one of the best in the NFL? You know why?

24:42Because he eats the way he's supposed to eat. I'm on a South Georgia diet. Hey, clean that diet up.

24:48Shannon Sharpe:I guarantee you're all pro. First team. Hey, you clean the diet up. You're going to get that up. First team all pro. Pro Bowl. Nope. I got you. Get you about five forced fumbles, three picks. Now you know with 135 tackles, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and three picks. Now they're talking about DPOY. That's what they're talking about. I don't know if you want that or not, but you clean that diet up. I'm going to get it done. I'm going to get into that. That's what I'm talking about. Hey, listen. Don't be listening to Ocho. Hey, I'll tell you one thing. Whatever you put in your system ain't got nothing to do with making none of that EJ's name.

25:25I got you, man.

25:27Shannon Sharpe:Ernest, man, thank you, man. Appreciate you joining us tonight. Best of luck. Yes, sir. I appreciate y 'all. Hey, and when that season turns out the way you want it, come back and talk to us again. I got you. Thank y 'all for having me. Appreciate you, bro. Ernest Jones, the fourth. Starting middle linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks, man. He's an unbelievable player. I mean, I was shocked. I was absolutely shocked that they, when they traded him, Mojo. Because I didn't see, because I'm like, man, no, no, he can really play. Oh, yeah, absolutely. No, yeah, he could really, really play. So I'm absolutely shocked that they moved him.

26:00Yeah, the funny thing too about it, Unc? 16 years ago, I started working as a CNA in the hospital. I loved it. On the day I decided to enroll in the nursing program at Rasmussen University, because afternoon, my 35th birthday, I was hanging out with a friend and they had just questioned me what I was going to do with this next chapter of my life. I immediately had said, I want to go to nursing school. So I actually had contact information from an advisor at Rasmussen, contacted her, and actually ended up starting like three weeks later. My name is Cherish Adams and I'm a Rasmussen University graduate.

When you move a player that's that good, it makes that kind of impact at that position. That means there's somebody else that they see behind him that they believe in. And I'm not sure who that is right now. Well

29:52Shannon Sharpe:The one man's trash is somebody else's treasure Because they got The Seahawks got an unbelievable Hell I'm surprised hell he didn't stay in Tennessee Yeah No guy can play Y 'all know I call it like it is He can play He for real He in the right place Ojo AJ Brown spoke to the media about why he's frustrated with the Eagles offense being stagnant at times. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. Yeah. But I think it's fair to, you know, to want the ball, to get us going. Like last week against the Rams, you know, I caught the sluggo. Got the offense going next play, opening up and down and got it.

30:34The safety came up to my side and opening it up. So, you know, I don't think it's a bad thing for wanting the ball. It's not just for targets or anything to put numbers up. But no, I see that we're struggling, and I'm a guy that wants the ball in those times when we can't find a way. Give it to me. Like when the game's on the line, give the ball to me. I want that. I want that pressure. I put it on myself, you know, and I work hard for it. And so, and that's what, you know, the misconstruction or whatever, you misconstrue, you know, whatever perspective you can about me. But, you know, it is what it is.

31:07You know, and I don't care, to be honest, because my teammates know. My teammates know that when the game's on the line, look at me. And I want everybody in the stadium to know that. That's not a secret. I'm not shying away from that. And so that's when you see that frustration when all that hunger comes out. That's because I see we're struggling, and I believe that you give the ball to me, I'm going to open up things, and I'm going to get this thing going. You can put it on my back. I like that.

31:32Shannon Sharpe:You like that he took accountability for his thing? Yeah. I do too. the only thing the only thing the only thing I would say yeah is that keep it in house because the perception of how it's going to be perceived right it's completely different also you know optics and perception is everything in our business and this and the one thing he did say you heard what he said towards the end is even if you guys misconstrue what I'm saying or what the meaning is that I'm trying to get across I don't care and you have to have that mentality as well he has that he has that mama mentality in a sense he has a killer mentality at the receiver position he's out there by his cell phone he's on the island by himself so he's reliant on 10 other people oh he played no he plays a dependent position exactly you you had the mercy of the quarterback hey every time so when we're struggling or the type of team we are the way our offense is we run the ball to open up the pass.

32:37Well, you know what? I'm a player that's here where we can throw the ball to open up the run. And I want to be that guy. I put the pressure and the onus on myself. Get me the ball in these situations.

32:50Shannon Sharpe:You know the hard thing is, Ocho? Is that when you win a certain way, the team believes that's the only way they can win.

33:00Shannon Sharpe:So what do they do? Well, we won it last year. Well, you have to evolve because Saquon is not – the holes are not there for Saquon this year like they were last year. So clearly the defense is saying we are not going to let 26 beat us. At all. If you guys want to beat us, he's going to have to throw the ball. Yeah. And A.J. said, well, damn, can we throw the ball when they don't know we're going to throw the ball? Hell, if we just throw the ball on third down, you make it really hard. But, you know, I'll be open on first down too. I'll be open on second down. And then hold on. It'll be an opportunity.

33:38And one more thing. Another thing that they need to do. Let's be a little bit more creative. Let's be a little bit more creative when it comes to the type of routes that you're giving A.J. Brown the run. I can name them too based on the split every time. The under. Under and the slant. Listen, if he's two yards outside the number, he's running the goddamn slant. If he's on top of numbers, he's running the goddamn curl. if he's uh if it's a specific dent he run the quick stick route yep it's the same it's the same concept every time like what the hell are we doing that's it oh joe travis kelsey spoke about

34:20Shannon Sharpe:aj brown's tweet saying you're four and oh boss come on man it's frustrating for aj right now clearly he's going uh he's going to social media to show it when i show my frustration when we aren't rolling as an offense. But it's also really hard for me to get mad when we're winning. I don't find that energy when we're winning, putting up points and winning football games. That's all I said. That was my entire point. It's hard. People, Ocho, you can't say, well, I'm hungry. I give you food. Man, this ain't no Wagyu. This ain't no all grown potatoes. Man, this ain't no lobster, mac and cheese. and so and and and i and i and that was my point that was all i was trying to say it's hard to get people on your side yeah when you're winning right philly wants to win yeah absolutely absolutely and so when you're winning it's hard to get people like yeah aj you right they were like aj we winning yes i want you to catch passes but not as much as i want to win the game.

35:24Shannon Sharpe:And so that's all I would say. And I get what people say and people like, well, Travis Kelsey, yeah. He gets a little bit. Hey, when they not winning, yep, he gonna act up. When that offense is stagnant, and that's what AJ is saying. So it's just hard. AJ, go talk to Jalen. Go talk to Sirianni, and go talk to your damn head, your offensive coordinator. That's who I'm talking to. I ain't gonna put no tweet out. I ain't gonna say I ain't gonna put nothing on no Twitter, to Ocho. I'm going to talk to them because I got a direct line. I know where your office is and I got her phone number. You don't think he done did that?

36:02You don't think he done did that? Because we had the same problems last year. You don't think he's done that? I think the first step is he probably went and had those conversations already and nothing has changed. Nothing changed. Now we're in the next year and the same shit still going on.

36:17Shannon Sharpe:But again, I give you a prime example. Monday night, what did you see Chase do? Chase walked right up to Zach Taylor, didn't he? He walked right up to him. He was frustrated. He was frustrated. And I'm curious. I'm curious to see. And it don't get no easy this week, huh? It don't get no easy this week. They play Detroit. Oh, Lord. They play Detroit. And you know Detroit put points on the board, don't you? But who are you telling? They scored 50 week before last, and they scored 40 the last game. We don't have no choice. Zach Taylor spoke to the media today and said, there's no need for us to bring another quarterback in, a veteran, because we believe in Jake Browning.

37:01I said, well, shoot, if we believe in Jake Browning, I ain't got no choice but to get on that bus too. Guess where I'm at right now? Where? In Cincinnati. Guess who I'm going to talk to in the morning? Who? The team. What you going to talk about? I'd be damned if I get embarrassed Sunday. I'll be damned. I'm going to the game Sunday. Obviously, I'm going to leave the game Sunday. Don't worry about it.

37:31Shannon Sharpe:You can leave at halftime. It'll be over. Hey, listen. Hey, Unc. Hey, Chad, we're going to start on time. Hey, Unc, when they get this pep talk from me, when they get this pep talk from me before that game, it's a wrap. I'm telling you. I'm telling you.

37:52Shannon Sharpe:okay i can't wait to hear this pep talk hey matter of fact you know what i'm so happy and just just speaking back about like i know you ain't send me none of my gifts but i got a nice gift for you i got a nice what haven't i sent you hold on i got a nice gift for you to show you my appreciation and thanks for giving me the opportunity i got your awesome gift You know what, Ocho? I'm going to send you your gift. I'm going to send you your gift. You didn't even ask me what the gift was. No, I don't need to know. The whole point is, okay, Ocho, what's the gift? I got tickets for me and you to send front row.

I'm saying I just can't be at something like that. You know what I'm saying? It going to send the wrong message. My probation officer going to get me. What message? This message is about living life. This message is about turning up.

Hey, I'm telling you, when you get in that atmosphere at that concert, I'm telling you, you're going to feel like, damn, I ain't felt like this in a long time. You just get loose, man. You just.

As a matter of fact, Ocho, as a matter of fact, the first big function I want people to see me at, I want to be coming out of the church. Maybe I go to the Potter house in Dallas. Maybe I come out of CDJ's church. Maybe they need to see, Chad, y 'all need to see me come out of the church. You know what? That's what I'm doing. No, no, no. I'm going to church. Hey, one thing about it, we ain't going that route. We ain't going that route. We not going that route, acting like, you know, we reverend, we reverend Al Sharpton and all that shit.

Stay with me real quick. It's okay to be new, but don't forget where you came from. We come from times like that, and at some times, you got to revisit where you come from. I got to go back to church, Ocho. I lost my way.

44:03Shannon Sharpe:I lost my way I gotta go back to church I know y 'all understand I know y 'all listen to Unc Y 'all want Unc to do something But that Unc I had to put him up I had to put him on the shelf That Unc you trying to put on the shelf Is what made us who we are I know Ochoa I gotta reinvent myself If we lose that dynamic, then that doesn't make us who we are. We can't lose that aspect of what makes us us. So you can't go to Kirk Franklin, Rob. Ain't nobody want to hear that. Hey, as a matter of fact, Ocho, hey, don't be surprised when y 'all see me in the airport. I'm carrying my Bible. I'm just saying.

44:47Shannon Sharpe:I'm just saying. That's where I'm at, Ocho. I'm just saying. That's where I'm at.

44:54Shannon Sharpe:I'm carrying my Bible Ocho I'm changed I'm all for change matter of fact I told Jordan to come pick me up Jordan be going to church I told Jordan swing by and scoop your uncle hey I'm telling you that ain't it listen I'm with you when you're right but there's certain things you have to still remain yourself you can backslide I can't. God forgave you already. God forgave you already. Whatever's for you is for you. You didn't got to do all that extra stuff. I just need to carry the Bible. Just for a little while, Ocho. But I'll tell you what. You get the Bible. You got the Old Testament and the New Testament.

45:35I got the Bible. King James Version.

45:37Shannon Sharpe:Okay. They got the Old Testament and the New Testament. I'll tell you what. Most Bibles have both Testaments. Got you. Listen. I ain't never seen a Bible with just one Testament. I got you. Bring your King James Version. Bring your King James Version Bible. October 13 to the concert Re-N-B Young Boy I tell you that Listen I'm going to give you a scripture One did I go off of Philippians Philippians 2 Verse 27 For thou Hath not tried to live perfect Thou shalt backslide At some point in life But you must stay authentic To thyself Because no man is perfect That's why I see you October 13th You see I got my thing I'm coming most gracious and holy heavenly father I come to thee in the most humble way I know how Bow head, humble heart on bent knee Realizing that you God of God, Lord of Lords, kings of kings I'm done, Ocho, your boy out Your boy out I already got that Stacey Adams I'm down on one knee

46:53Shannon Sharpe:I already told him I said Lord Well my time is up here And my face becomes a looking glass Just give me a place somewhere in your kingdom Now where I'm at Ocho I'm done Your boy out I'm out

47:12Shannon Sharpe:I ain't fooling with Ocho As we mentioned earlier But there Tyreek Hill has a dislocated knee, multiple torn ligaments, including his ACL, ending his season four games into the season. Tyreek's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, stated, Tyreek's surgery went very well, according to his doctors. It's about rehab. He will play next season. The realistic goal is the start of the season. Ocho, Tyreek is 31 years of age. He has a big contract because the contract, the cap hit is over 50-plus million dollars. and most teams will not want to eat that. Can he rebuild his market value as an elite receiver after this injury?

47:54Absolutely. Absolutely. And even if he doesn't rebuild his market value and gets the opportunity to play somewhere again, he will soon, even if it's not with Miami, I'm not sure where he will go, but wherever he does go, he will remind everybody why he wants what he was, one of the top five receivers in the NFL. So right now, obviously, he wasn't on the trajectory of doing that because they weren't playing well as a whole, as an offense in general. But when he does come back, listen, the speed is still going to be there. Some of the stuff that he's able to do is still going to be there. It was dislocated kneecap.

48:32No extremities, no hamstring, no quads. So the speed and all that stuff, I say three or four months. I actually think we're in October, right? Yeah. October, November, December. If football season, if they were to make the playoffs.

48:47Shannon Sharpe:By the first of the year, Ocho, he should be running a straight line. I mean, in two months, he should be able to run in a straight line. That's what I was just getting ready to say that. If it would come December, he would be able to come back and play if he wanted to. He would be able to come back and play if he wanted to. So he's going to be all right. I mean, look.

49:09Shannon Sharpe:Brandon I, you had to tour his and he still isn't back yet. He's still dealing with some other stuff. That's different. He tours ACL completely. This is just a dislocated kneecap with a few ligaments. No, he tours ACL. No, not fully. Well, that's what's being reported. Hold on. Let me text Reed real quick.

49:35I'm all in his business.

49:41Look, all I know is I'm calling Adrian Peterson.

49:48Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to say, AP, I want to know everything that you did. Right. How long you did it, how often you did it. Oh, yeah. If you was in a hyperbaric chamber, I'm getting a portable hyperbaric chamber. If you did infrared sauna, I'm doing infrared sauna. I'm doing whatever you did. Push me to capacity because the quickest thing I want to do, Ocho, is get range of motion back. That's the first thing I want to get. I want to get that 120 back. Once I get that range of motion back, I'm thinking about building that quad. If I got to get that strength. So I'm going to build a steel machine because I want the muscles firing.

50:23Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Because, you know, that's a – take you a couple of – some aspirin, some Tylenol, so that pain, because they're going to push you. The thing is with athletes, Ocho, if you're a normal person, you get to go to rehab twice a week. An athlete, they go to rehab twice a day, five days a week. That's why, and plus, they got youth on their side. They got muscle, musculature on their side. Right. And they got the best that money can buy as far as therapy, physio, and doctors. Resources, yes. He could go anywhere. Anywhere. and have that surgery. He could have went to Dr. Neil Ellatrosh, or he could have went to the Curlin Joe, that's what did my hips, or, you know, Stamon Hawkins or James Andrews, whatever the case may be.

51:14Shannon Sharpe:But I hope Tyree gets another opportunity. Hope. I want him, I want him, look, Ocho, he got speed to burn. So let's just say for the sake of argument, Ocho, he ain't 4 '2 no more, he 4 '3. Wow, I'm so disappointed the man can only run 4 '3? Right, right. That should be a luxury for us to have, Ocho. Yeah. Yeah. He's going to be all right, O. He's going to get an opportunity. I'm excited to see where he goes. If it's not back to Miami, I'm sure it'll be somewhere else. There are so many teams that can use a threat, a dynamic threat at that, like Tyreek Hill. And he's going to show once he's back healed and he's going to make videos running full speed, he's going to look like he never left the game.

51:56Shannon Sharpe:The thing that you got to do, Ocho, is stop planting cut. Yeah. Because that's everything for a receiver. He's going to be able to run in a straight line in probably two and a half, three months. But it's when he gets that – when he can be able to do that. Yeah, yeah. And speak when he got – hey, like we talked about the other day, 10 roll to 12. Yeah. When you hit that dig, when you hit that comeback, because he twitchy. And then being able to do it with confidence too, Unc. That's the biggest thing on Joe. not having to worry about that knee just just know that you know what that thing strong that is strong enough it can sustain it because you got to realize now that's just not a northern normal receiver that's the guy that's running and is stopping and getting in and out of break tyreek don't do a whole lot of throwing that blink on and diagnose it he's stopping on the dime yeah So that's a lot of torque.

52:55Shannon Sharpe:That's one thing. I was 4 '5", 4 '6", running the comeback, running the out. That's 4 '2", 4 '3". So that's a Ferrari getting up to 100 miles an hour and slamming on the brakes as opposed to a pickup truck going 50 and slamming on brakes. Mike's called Brian Dayball's reaction to Jackson Dart's first NFL touchdown. Dayball screamed, that's our effing guy, as he nearly ran into running back Devin Singletary. That's a man who's stoked about his new signal call, Ocho. Ocho? Yeah. What'd you think? He said, that's our effing guy. I mean, it is their guy. It's the guy they picked. It's the quarterback that they drafted.

53:40They just waited on this opportunity to play. It came earlier than most thought it would. And he looked good, huh? he looked good you didn't know what to get from jackson dart we know no we know what he could do because we saw in the preseason he looked good in the preseason but you're good that's not the kind of defenses that's not the kind of schemes those aren't the players you're going to see in the regular season and jackson dart said hold my beer let me show you whether it's the preseason or not what i can do multiple great throws yes plays using his legs on third down to get first downs.

54:17He looked really good.

54:22Shannon Sharpe:The thing that tells me why I knew he was their guy because they drafted him and they seemed to... But everybody... Look, I don't take anything from a draft room because everybody's always... That's the guy we wanted. We didn't think he was going to be there. Okay, fine. But Ocho, he named the guy the quarterback for the rest of the season. He removed all doubt. Yeah. Because he's like, okay, he could have easily said we're going to start Jackson Dart. He said, we're starting Jackson Dart for the remainder of the season. That isn't what they did with Dylan Gabriel. They said, Dylan, is our starter.

55:02Yeah, they're leaving the door open. And listen, we talk about two different scenarios too. Two different teams. Two teams that have two different type of expectations for their season as well. One coach is on the hot seat and understands.

55:17Shannon Sharpe:Yes. If I'm going down, I'm going to go down with the player that I wanted.

55:26Shannon Sharpe:It's going to be, look, that's the guy they wanted him. He played really well. You know, look, the one thing you can say about Lane Kiffin, he can coach his ass off offensively. And he can coach the quarterbacks. So him and Sark was co-coordinators. I think there was the USC when they were at the height, Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, so forth and so on. So we know they can coach that position. We know he is a...

55:56Shannon Sharpe:Quake. What up there, Ocho? Where were you at, boy? Well, I'm in my crib, man, living a good life, man. I'm over here looking good, baby. Well, you know what? Y 'all know who it is, but I gave an introduction anyway. That's my dog. Quake, what it do, man? Man, I'm living on. I got a special hour called Joke Telling Business. It's in the top 10 in 24-hour release. I got a TV show that's going to be on Fox. And I just got married and you didn't show up. You supposed to be my man. You ain't come to the wet. I held all the things for you. I said Shannon got to come. Quake, you know I've been. I had a rough 25 so far, Quake.

56:36Shannon Sharpe:You know. Hell with them, man. You all right. You Shannon Sharp, man. You walk with your head up, and I support you like I text you. You always see my brother. You did. Hey, you were one of the first ones. You see what I mean? Hey, Quake. Oh, no, no, no, no. Me and this man here, we got decade plus. Yeah, hey, Quake. I used to, when he was at the Uptide Comedy Corner, we used to be in Atlanta coming. I come see him. Yeah. Hey, Earthquake. Ain't nobody judge you but God, man. I appreciate that, man. I appreciate your support. Hey, Earthquake. Yes. I got me and Unk I got me and Unk tickets to go see NBA Youngboy October 13th and he's scared to go he wanted to go to church instead well he can do that too take the Lord with him take the Lord with him man take the Lord with him the Lord know his heart why we had this fool on here tonight the Lord know your heart Quake let me ask you this when you get ready When Netflix called and they said, okay, Quake, we like to do a special X, Y, and Z, how long did it take you to put this set together?

57:43Shannon Sharpe:It was already ready. I'm like, Ocho, I'm ready, man. You ready? I keep jokes. That's why it's called joke-telling business. I'm in the joke-telling business. You told me the story. Tell Ocho why you went by the name of Earthquake. Oh, man, because, Ocho, this was just, this wasn't no epiphany. I just tried this one time. Right. And, you know, I got him in the military for nine years. And, you know, I got a family that's so critical. So I ain't want to mess up my good name. So if it didn't work out, you understand? Because my family said, you know, he got out of the military and went to Atlanta trying to be Richard Pryor.

58:23Shannon Sharpe:He must be on that thing. So I said, if it didn't work out, somebody say, hey, Earthquake. I said, my name ain't Earthquake. My name is Nathaniel. I don't even know no Earthquake. But it worked out. That's what you, you know what I mean? I ain't gonna mess up my good name. Yeah, that's a good one. Lequay, when you went as a comedian and you said you're in the joke telling business and you know, you were one of the first ones. Cause you, like when I started Club Shay Shay, you were one of the first ones I reached out. You say, bro, whatever you need, I'm there. Right. Man, how often do you tour?

58:54Shannon Sharpe:How often, how many dates out there? It's 365. How many tour dates a year are you on the road? Man, it's 52 weeks in. I do about 46. Damn. Hey, man, you got to pay for this hill. This hill ain't free. This hill is all. You got that big house now. Yes. Got that wife. I got to go out and get it. She feeds me and kicked me out the door and said, go get it. Go make this money. Hey, Quake, what you think? I'm thinking about doing stand-up. Come on, I'll bring you on. You can always work with me. We'll start with two minutes and work you all the way up. No, but Quake We talked about it, you're like, hey man, you can really do this I'm thinking about it, Quake Come on out, it's therapeutic You understand what I'm saying?

59:43Shannon Sharpe:Because I got these jokes I got a thousand jokes on them I ain't told them You got some one-liners You'll give half of the comedians That's out here now A run for their money Hey, I got some good ones, Quake Yeah You got a plethora. How white is that plethora? Matter of fact, I'm going to give you a small example right here. Watch this. Hey, do me a favor. Go ahead. Repeat after me. Okay. Blue. Blue. The cat is red. Cat is red. What color is grass? What color is grass? That's a good one. That's a good one. you thought I was going to say green didn't you? nah you need a little help on that Ocho I lost that one I'll people boo you by the time you got to that green one you understand it took too long you got to get in there you got to be like your boxing you got to put them hands on them I'm going to work on my material my delivery yeah that's what you got to work on you'll be good after that so Quake when they came to you you had already this set that you did for Netflix, you had already had it ready waiting for someone like maybe it was going to be Netflix or whomever, Amazon, whatever the case may be.

1:01:07Shannon Sharpe:So you had this already lined up. Well, see, when you're touring comedians such as myself, every year you got to come up with a new set. We're not like rappers or singers. We can't tell the same joke that was a hit. So I'm already in it. You know what I mean? So when it's ready, they get the call. I say this the jokes that's for sale right now and i sell them to them and keep on going with it and that's what happens so now i'm going to be at houston this weekend and i'm gonna start all over again start all over yeah quake you know what in this age you when you first started quake you could tell a joke down there for a whole year because you was in houston you go to dallas and you go to atlanta and you go to miami and you go to this place that place there was really no way the commute man man quake told his joke now you tell one joke you goddamn they got to get a whole set when you go you in houston you move to dallas you got to damn to get a whole set because everybody done posted you it's your line yeah that's why you gotta keep them cameras out the comedy clubs oh you understand that's why you gotta do like dave chappelle put them in them little bags yeah yeah you gotta put them in there and um keep them that way but i don't worry about that man And just the same way, I don't worry about nobody stealing my jokes.

1:02:24Shannon Sharpe:You might can take the jokes, but you can't take the creator. Because it's who told them that makes it everything. So that's where I'm at with it. And I'm like McDonald's. I'm over a billion joke toes. I'm going to create another one. I'm going to keep on giving it to you. That's about the only way. Hold on. I got another one. I got another one. I got another one. Come on. You ready? Come on. What do you call a singer with a laptop on her head? what do you call a singer with a laptop on his head what Adele

1:02:57Shannon Sharpe:something wrong with your boy man go get him tested go get him today go show you something else boy wait let me ask you how long are you going to stay in the joke telling business are you going to do this as long as they laughing as long as I can keep people laughing I'm going to tell a joke. I might be 65. I might be 70. I don't know. I ain't got no time living on it. The great thing about being a comedian, you can do it until the Lord taps you on the shoulder and say he needs to see you in the office. You can sit up. You can roll us up and put us in a chair and just tell them jokes from the chair and put a microphone in the face.

1:03:40Shannon Sharpe:So as long as I'm confident and my mind is good, I'm going to tell them to God tell me to go because I love it. I love making people laugh, and I'm great at it, humbly putting them together and it's a high like nothing else and then again, it's therapeutic instead of going talking to a therapist and giving him $100 or$200 an hour I stand on stage and collect $200,$300 an hour

1:04:11Shannon Sharpe:share my pain, baby and it's beautiful so comedian as a comedian, you, your job is to take an event that's happened to you or something you know are true and make it funny. Is that your definition of comedy? Yes, it's taking your experiences and making them relatable with everybody else and make it funny. Laugh at my pain, laugh at my experience, and the whole time. That's why you see the great ones. And you also see when comedians get to a certain level, financially, successfully, they stop telling jokes because their experience is not relatable to the people that they're telling the jokes to.

1:04:52Shannon Sharpe:You know what I mean? So you have to tap out because you know, I tell my wife this all the time. I said, you know, shepherds should always smell like the sheep when you're charging the sheep. Wow, I like that. I like that. I like that. You know, you don't feel you catch that chip in that you feel you're still on that relatable level that you can tell a joke because you still find you fly commercial. You still, you know, hey, I got nice things now. Don't get me wrong. But hey, but I take one day out and go shop at Marshall's. I go to Target. I go to the bowling alley. I hang with friends. Most of my friends are not in the economical situation that I am.

1:05:35Shannon Sharpe:So I hang in their lives and I go on and I be a part of that because they're my constituents who I have to sit to. They don't want to hear about this part of it and this, how well I'm doing them. So I make myself relatable by putting myself with people that's going through things that I'm going to be talking to so I can just sit there and diagnose what they're going through and live vicarious through them and then take it on stage that way. Man, that's unbelievable, man. Tell them the name of the country. I'm going to watch it. You know what? As a matter of fact, I'm going to go upstairs and watch it right now when I get done because I ain't got nothing else to do.

1:06:11Shannon Sharpe:So I'm going to go upstairs and watch it. Please watch it. Tell me what you think about it. It's cold. And the reason why I call it joke telling business, comedians need to get back to the job description and be funny. I don't care what they doing, but if they on any platform or anything is stick with the job description. And if you're going to sit here and carry the banner of being a comedian, you got to be funny. But but see, Quake, you go up. You grew up in a time that you told jokes. Look, obviously, Flip Wilson had a lot of skits. I mean, the Flip Wilson show when he was doing Geraldine. And now these guys now, Quake, they hit a lick.

1:06:52Shannon Sharpe:They get on the internet. They tell a few jokes. They do a few skits. They done made it. They going to get up out of there. But it's short money, but it's long for now, but it ain't lasting money. What I'm saying, if you want to lie, I'm three decades in here going on my fourth. If you want longevity, you can't skip the process. and that's the same thing you can tell anybody in your profession. Hey, man, you got to practice. Like you said, the coach always said, I would not accept nothing in a loss. Yep, I won't accept anything in a loss. I wouldn't accept anything in a loss. And that's the same thing.

1:07:24Shannon Sharpe:You have to pay. Whatever way gets you to our genre in our profession, I have no problem with it. If it's the internet, shows, skits, but you still got to hit that stage and sit down here and come with funny jokes to call yourself a comedian And then if you don't want to do that, then take the title off of it. Because I respect my art. I'm just trying to see the protection of my art form. And I'm in the joke telling business. And I sling these jokes. And I expect everybody else to sling them jokes. Man, Quake, man, thank you for the time. Y 'all make sure y 'all go check out his special on Netflix.

1:08:00Shannon Sharpe:What is it called? Joke telling? You in the joke telling business? Joke telling business. I'm in the joke telling business. Don't tell me. Number seven right now and climbing in 24 hours out. Man, that's my homeboy. That's my very good friend. Earthquake, earthquake, snake. Hey, what's your commander's going to do on Sunday? Man, we got to get this win, man. We went down to your hometown and laid the head. You did. I think we're coming out west and going to get these charges because they're very vulnerable. Western ain't got them. So the Giants got them. So that means that you can get them. So I hope we get them.

1:08:33Shannon Sharpe:and baby Jesus coming back, JD5. But see what happens when they hold out, man, and get hurt. You know what I mean? Terry held up, soft tissue. I told him go hang out with Ocho and stay in shape so when he did get his money, we wouldn't have no hamstring pull. McLaurin, yep. That's how it normally happens. There you go. That's the great comic. Good friend of the show. Very good friend of mine. Earthquake, earthquake. Congratulations on everything. Congratulations on the marriage. I'm going to hit you up because I need you to do me a favor. I got you. Bet. Anything you need. Ocho, I love you, man.

1:09:09Shannon Sharpe:And I can still run you, Ocho.

1:09:15Shannon Sharpe:Earthquake. Make sure y 'all go check out his comedy special on Netflix in the joke telling business. Man, look here. I've been knowing that, brother. Decade plus. Great. Great. I couldn't tell y 'all me. Once upon a time, I couldn't tell y 'all what he did for me. He did a real solid for us, boy. But we're going to let that go. We ain't going to tell that story, Quake. We're going to keep that between me, you, and the Lord.

1:09:46Shannon Sharpe:All right, Ochoa, we're going to get back to our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q &A.

1:10:02Shannon Sharpe:Jason said, Ocho says he got jokes. I got one too, the Cincinnati Bengals. Hey, listen. See, people love to kick a team when they down. They love to kick a team when we down. The only reason things are how they are right now is because Joe Burrow's hurt. Let's not get beside ourselves. Zeldorf said, we need to start a GoFundMe to get Ocho a T-shirt with the Browns and the Bengals logos, including words, Toilet Bowl Champions, because there are only the nine bowl Ocho Bengals will ever win. Okay. Hey, I'm Ocho. Okay. I see we got jokes. Okay. Dylan Benavidez, with a great tight end play, I need to talk about someone's always bring up, but I need to ask, Am I tripping on how good Algeron, Alger Crumpler was?

1:10:59Shannon Sharpe:Crumpler was good. He played Unbelief. He was with Vic. Yeah, I think Crump went to like four or five promos. Yeah, Crump was nice. Yeah. For a man his size, he wasn't supposed to be able to move like that, Ocho. He was a big boy, boy. Hell yeah. Hey, what was the receiver played with Crump? What, 83? He was white. He was white, though. White, yes. Roddy White. Roddy White. And Roddy White, Peerless Price. Peerless Price, yeah. The long gun. Love nightcap. Ain't much fun, but I got five on it for y 'all. Keep pushing, brothers. Thank you, bro. Thank you. Appreciate the support. Sir underscore Cates, my guys.

1:11:38Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, if the Bengals miss the playoff this year, Zach Taylor gone. And is. No, he won't. Lamar Robinson, Uncle Ocho, if I could have one, if you could have one meal your grandma made for you, what would it be? For me, it would be my grandmother's grilled cheese. Listen, for me, it would be my grandfather, and it's way back in the 90s. I don't know how he did it. Remember that evaporator milk? Came out of the can with the cow on the front? Yeah, yeah, Borden's. He used to make me cream of wheat, Unk. I don't know how he did it. That cream of wheat was so good, Unk. Oh, my God. But I'd do anything.

1:12:17Obviously, it's impossible now, but just to have that cream of wheat again as a little kid, I used to beg for that. Me?

1:12:26Shannon Sharpe:it probably be stewed chicken and rice or squirrel and rice. Fried squirrel. Fried squirrel. But stewed chicken. Man, I love man. Hey, I need to find out what he got some stewed chicken. Who do stewed chicken in Vegas? We can do it. We can go catch the squirrel. We can record that. You heard me? I got a slingshot. Yeah, okay. But I could go for a good old mess of squirrel and rice. Fried? Lord, have mercy. Lamar Robinson, okay, that was what we read. James Lee said, how common is using stick-em on your gloves during your playing time? Jerry Rice said, everyone was using it. Have you guys ever used it?

1:13:14Shannon Sharpe:Yes, everyone was using it. Guys used to defensive linemen, an offensive lineman used to use silicone on their jerseys. that's why you see the referees they always pick the linemen and they pat them down that's why because I didn't want you to be able to grip and grab a hold of my jersey so I was sprayed with silicone so guess what you couldn't do grab my jersey and guys offensive linemen would spray stick them on their hands because when they grabbed the jersey they wanted to be able to hold you yes it was very common now they cut the spray. Now, we didn't have the stickum like Lester Hayes had.

1:14:00Shannon Sharpe:Lester had it all over and he had it all on his socks. He had it all on his forearm. He had it everywhere. He touched the ball. That ball was done for the rest of the game. Yeah, he was done for the rest of the game, but you go back and find pictures of Lester and you see on his socks. You see all on his hands. He had that wide base stance. Yeah, but it was very common. Zay2X said, hey, Uncle Nocho, my dad's birthday was last week on September 22nd. Could you give us a wish and wish him happy birthday? Could rank the best wide receiver duels. I think my Cowboys are number one. Yes, we could. Happy birthday.

1:14:43Shannon Sharpe:You didn't give us his name. That would really help if you gave us his name. but his birthday was on last week, a couple of weeks ago, September 22nd. So happy belated birthday. Thank you, Zay, for watching us and tuning in. We really, really appreciate that. Rank the best wide receiver duos. Yeah, I think you guys are up there. I think you got to put AJ and Devontae, even though their numbers currently don't say so. I think you got to put Armand Ross St. Brown and J-Mo. I think they're up there. I think Puka and Devontae, they're up there. Obviously, CD and Pickens are there. Chase and T. Higgins.

1:15:31Shannon Sharpe:Man, St. Brown got like six touchdowns already. Yeah. They dishing that boy that ball, boy. Man, that joke would be –

1:15:43Shannon Sharpe:If you had to take one duo right now, Are you taking Chase and Higgins? Absolutely. I mean, even with – I know Joe Burrow's hurt, but I'm taking them. And right after them, the next two I would probably take, if it wasn't Chase and T, it would probably be J-Mo and St. Brown. Yeah. For me, I would probably say I can't take T or what you call him, not with that quarterback. Not with that quarterback. I probably would take Almond Ra for me it would be between Almond Ra and J-Mo and Puka and Devontae alright that's a good one man Matthew Stafford Ocho he dealing if you're going to throw Puka and Devontae in there I'm going to throw Jefferson and Addison in there too good point great point um um

1:16:40Yeah.

1:16:42Shannon Sharpe:We solid. Peggy Hager said, Goodell is mad at prime for not taking his nephew to Colorado. They took it out on Shador. I don't know anything about that. I don't know if Roger Goodell has a nephew. I don't know. I know he has twin daughters. Met his wife when I did the thing for Netflix a couple of years ago. But I don't know anything about that. So, Peggy, if that's what you said, hey. Jason Zeldorf said, after Monday night game, I was wondering if Unk was going to have to call the cops to do a wellness check on Ocho. Yeah. We put paint. Man, that's embarrassing, Ocho. Jamal the singer said, I know Ocho fell asleep under the AC, but if he keep it a buck, it was, stop eating all that Unk, Ocho.

1:17:34I don't know what Unk is. You got to say it.

1:17:37Shannon Sharpe:Booty. Bagel, hey, we were excited to have D-Wall. Can you ask him if he thought those black uniforms were dope? You like those Dolphins uniforms, Ojo? Yeah, I like it. It's different. It's different. I like the old school, the teals. The teal, yeah, the teal is nice with the white pants. Yep. That's nice. I think the black was something different. You know, little chains don't hurt. Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy said, Okay, fam, it's time for some humor. Who you got? Leslie Nielsen and Naked Gun or Jim Carrey and Pet Detective? Oh, that's a good one. Leslie Nielsen and Naked Gun. I'm going with Leslie Nielsen, too.

1:18:20That jump was funny, boy. Man. Hey, that was funny, boy.

1:18:25Shannon Sharpe:King of the one-liners. Hey, I think the chat might not know about the Naked Gun, though. Man, please. Naked Gun, hey, they better stop playing. Hey. but that was funny boy and then the one they had the one with OJ in it yeah he was in all of them he was? yeah I didn't know he was in the first one Jerry D saying Uncle Nocho my man Jaden Blackwell did it again he broke the world record in the 400 meters at the world championship for the US Paralympic track team and he run the 100 and he run the 400 Jaden congratulations bro Congratulations. Hey, we are very, very proud of you. We're happy for you.

1:19:06Shannon Sharpe:Congratulations again. Another gold medal. Hey, we can't say congratulations and thank you enough, but continue to keep up the great work. And y 'all see this? Paralympic gold medal. Against the world, that means you can do anything. There are no excuses. One would hear, I can't, or this or that. No. I love to see, I love, because I normally watch it, Ocho, to see these men and women. I see, you know, people swimming with one arm, no arm. Man, and somebody complain? Man, I ain't trying to hear nothing you saying. Nothing. Don't even talk to me about that. Because after I see these people out there with double amputees and they got the guide sometimes running with them, they blind, don't you got a blindfold, and they got the guy running.

1:19:50Shannon Sharpe:Hey, some of the people be damned to be out running the guide. They fast now. They be dealing. Kemper Norwood Jr. said, Unc, your Broncos photo is my wallpaper. It's because you inspire me. Kemper, thank you very much. I know who wallpaper doesn't inspire you.
