In short
Sports talk focused on (1) Zion Williamson’s viral offseason body/weight transformation and his Pelicans contract weight clause, (2) Cam Skattebo’s “RECKLESS” moment at Fanatics Fest involving a risky WWE-style backflip attempt, and (3) Jaxson Dart’s early impact and how running backs should balance toughness with longevity.
Guest backgrounds
The episode is hosted by Tab Ramos (Inside American Soccer) and features “Uncle Joe” and “Ocho” as the main conversational voices; they discuss pro athlete training, weight discipline, and NFL/NBA career management. No formal guest bios are provided in the transcript.
Key claims
Zion’s weight clause (body weight + body fat % must stay under 295) shows accountability; staying in shape matters more than getting in shape for a contract year. Cam’s backflip is framed as youthful showmanship that can be dangerous. Dart is praised as a fun, live-wire talent, but running backs must make “business decisions” to avoid shortening careers.
Notable examples
Ben Simmons gym threes; Charles Barkley’s weight-loss story; Deion Dawkins’ weight penalties; Zeke’s shift from contact running to safer “blink” runs; Christian McCaffrey/Jahmyr Gibbs/Derrick Henry as “special” RBs.

Zion's contract with the Pelicans includes a specific weight clause stipulating that the sum of his body weight in pounds and his body fat percentage must remain below 295. If he fails to meet periodic weigh-ins, the amount of guaranteed money in his contract can be reduced. Somebody says Zion Williamson's offseason. Transformation is the equivalent of Ben Simmons hitting threes in the gym. Joe, just like your Cowboys. Is it the year? Zion, he does look good. He does look good. And when he plays, he's another one, guys.
3:25Shannon Sharpe:We talked about Kawhi. You talk about his weight and the injuries, and he's had his fair share. But when Zion Williamson plays, he's phenomenal. Now, I wish you'd get more rebounds because I think, look, if Charles Barkley can have his damn double-digit rebounds, so can you.
3:40Chad Johnson:Yeah. Hey, when I seen this, bro, I said, I seen it on IG. i said damn somebody hearing the whispers so i guess the guy who's been training him he responded he was like nah we won't hear the whispers damn it he heard something oh you did it he heard something because man if this man can look like this bro yeah listen he already can't be stopped when his ass play okay i don't care who you put on that man he too quick he too fast he too agile. If that man in peak shape, Uncle Ocho, yeah. So let me ask you a question, Ocho.
4:19Shannon Sharpe:He said his trainer said they didn't hear the whispers. So why didn't he come in like that as a rookie? Hello. Or his second year? Hello. Or his third year? Why the hell did he got a weight clause? I bet you LeBron ain't got no weight clause in his contract. I bet Shea ain't got no weight clause in his contract. Right. So why does he have a weight clause if he ain't hearing the whispers? Why is he looking like that now? Because now I got a problem. because you wasted five or six of these years bull-jiving, but you don't hear the whispers? Come on, bro. It's okay to hear them. It's okay to hear them.
4:49Shannon Sharpe:This is how you should look. Now, looking like that is one thing. Staying like that is something entirely different because you know the easiest thing you do is getting shape in the offseason because guess what? You structured. You right there. But now when you start playing every other night and you hit that roll and you grabbing them wings and them chicken fingers and that burgers and you drinking them high-calorie sodas. That's when it's different. See, you got the guy cooking for you all the time. I ain't got to do nothing but go work out, train, and come home, and he got veggies, and he got chicken breast, and he got salmon.
5:20Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, he got the good stuff of it. But when you going on that road, Joe, and you know this, hey, when you play that late game on the West Coast and you just got to grab something and go, and they got fried chicken, and they got wings, and they got pizza, and they got tater skins?
5:38Chad Johnson:Mm-hmm. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, that's when you got to be dedicated to bring your own stuff. Like Unc used to say, he used to bring his own. But, man, look, damn all that. Hey, me speaking to Zion right now, bro, if you – I'm telling you, if you can stay in this type of shape, I know you're going to dominate. Boy, you look good, boy. I ain't going to lie to you. He look great.
5:59Shannon Sharpe:This is an all-star. This body right here, all-star. This guy right here is an all-NBA selection. Oh, yeah.
6:05Chad Johnson:No question. No question. Matter of fact, you know what? Forget the whispers. How many years he got left on his contract? Probably. Is this a contract?
6:14Shannon Sharpe:Probably like two or three. Probably at least two or three, Ocho, because he signed a rookie extension. But they stipulated it. I can lose. Ocho, I'm not putting no – you're not going to take no money away from me. Right. Think about it. We talked about this in football, Ocho. They put in Kyle Murray's contract. Why they put that in there? because they know you're not going to do what you're supposed to. I can't get you to G.R. Now, I'm paying you hundreds of millions of dollars, and I got to tell you, you got to be at this weight.
6:47Chad Johnson:Yeah. Yeah.
6:49Shannon Sharpe:If you had a regular job and your boss tell you he stipulated your contract, you got to show up to work on time. You got to do your work. Really? They're probably going to fire your ass. You know, the funny thing about it too long,
7:02Chad Johnson:I'm not sure if you had anybody on your team like that. yeah I had a bunch of guys that couldn't make weight hell yeah I had a bunch of guys so sometimes you know you gotta put stipulation on certain people that have a problem with their weight certain people that have a problem with drinking certain people that have a problem with eating you know you don't dream and Zion just happened to be had there ever been other NBA players Uncle Joe that have had this issue with their weight fluctuating Charles Barkley said he weighed 300 pounds
7:27Shannon Sharpe:Charles said he didn't want to go to Philly yeah he didn't want to go to Philly Charles weighed 300 He said the best thing happened to him, he went to Philly and mows him alone. Moses said you got two problems Charles. He said you fat and you lazy. Those are the only two problems you got.
7:44Chad Johnson:Fact, fact, fact.
7:46Shannon Sharpe:Hey, let Charles tell you the story what Mo told him. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. You only got two problems. You fat and you lazy.
7:53Chad Johnson:You fat, I'm fat, I'm fat.
7:55Shannon Sharpe:Hey, listen. He said what we gonna do, he said we ain't gonna do it all at once. He said we'll lose 10 pounds in the next month.
8:03Chad Johnson:Yeah.
8:04Shannon Sharpe:Charles said, okay, boom, lost 10. Yeah. He said he felt okay, lost another 10. Charles said he got down to like 250.
8:14Chad Johnson:Yeah. It was a wrap.
8:17Shannon Sharpe:Couldn't do nothing with him. Hell, Charles averaged like 22 points, 11, 12 rebounds for a career.
8:24Chad Johnson:Yeah, Charles, yeah.
8:26Shannon Sharpe:And six foot. He's like, they're bold in there. That's my thing to Zion. Zion should be a more explosive Charles Barkley. Y 'all better stop sleeping on Chuck. I know he talk a lot, and y 'all tell you, he be on the guy's head. Charles Barkley was a great player.
8:46Chad Johnson:No, he was a dog.
8:48Shannon Sharpe:A great player. I remember when he was at Auburn with Chris Morris. Yeah, yeah. They were good. They were really good. Chris Morris from Georgia. He a Georgia boy. Oh, is he?
9:01Chad Johnson:Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah. Hey, but look, when you think about it, I think, what year is this for Zion, Ocho?
9:10Shannon Sharpe:It's got to be like six. Hey, look that up right quick.
9:17Shannon Sharpe:He has two more years. He has two more years on his contract. So guess what? He play like he's supposed to. What they going to do, Ocho? What they going to do, Joe? Give him another one. Guap him up?
9:27Chad Johnson:Guap him down? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Hey, but listen, that's why this year is so important. That's why he's coming back looking the way he's looking.
9:35Shannon Sharpe:And you just hope when guys like this, you hope that they've learned and this is just not a contract year. Because we've all been in situations where we see guys do what they need to do just for the contract year, and then once they get the contract, they revert back to what they've done before. Now, I hope this isn't Zion, but look, the fact of the matter is that they put that they put that man zion entering his eighth year that went fast bro it's been eight that fast yeah it's gonna be his eighth year it goes for hey look this is why it's so important bro
10:14Chad Johnson:that when you come into the a professional sport especially the nba that you come into a great damn environment say what you want to say about the miami heat and pat riley and how strict you man That's the type of some guys need that, bro. Think about it. Zion was, man, we wouldn't have to wait this long. Okay. Ocho for him to go. Hell no. You see what I'm saying? Yep. Like some guys really need you to be a damn down they back. You know what I mean? Like, I just think it's needed at times because if you come into an environment to where they don't police you, they don't, they don't check your weight and your body fat.
10:47Chad Johnson:They don't make you lift weights, you know, three, two, three times. Hey man, at some point here, you going to fail.
10:54Shannon Sharpe:Because everybody don't have a gun in the bag. They can't police themselves. Hello. And that's the problem. I heard Deion Dawkins say Buffalo Bills, they give you a weight to come in. If you're over that weight, they charge you$800 a pound, Ocho. Ooh. $800. When I was in the league, it was$50 and$75. But the team said that. Right. And then it doubles every time that you come in over that. So if you're two pounds over and they charge you$50, obviously that's$100,$150 if it's$75. Then it goes, it doubles. So it's 150 and 200 for every pound that you over. Pound that up quick. Because guess what?
11:35Shannon Sharpe:When it's hot, it's easy to get that way. You sweat that thing off, you go sit in the sauna, boom. When it's cold. What happens when it get cold?
Read the full transcript
11:42Chad Johnson:Yeah.
11:42Shannon Sharpe:And I know y 'all know this. In Denver, it get real cold. In BMO, it get cold. It's 92.
11:48Chad Johnson:You know, Joe, I was overweight a few times, Joe. You were? Yeah, Joe. How? Why Joe can't Joe? I came in, we got cold.
11:57Shannon Sharpe:At 175, he ain't never been overweight. I get on the scale eating sausage biscuits. I get on the scale, Joe. I get on the scale, I'm eating sausage biscuits. I'm eating pancakes. I got pancakes in my head, I'm eating.
12:11Chad Johnson:I ain't never had no weight problem. Yeah. Yeah. When it was hot, like September, in October, and I was about 192, 100. We got cold, Joe. about 205.
12:23Shannon Sharpe:That man ain't seen 200 a day in his life. With cinder blocks tied around his ankle, he ain't 200.
12:30Chad Johnson:I was rocked up, bro.
12:32Shannon Sharpe:Soak your weight. 180. Go look at it. Ocho, you know people can pull your thing up and watch you on YouTube, right? Yeah, and that's probably from September and October. No, that's from whatever. She only talking about stop lying on me. I ain't lied on you, Shelly. You know you got left facials to me.
12:56Chad Johnson:But, yeah, I'm happy for Zion, man. Hey, hey, hey. Seem like he looking forward to having a big season this year because, boy, that boy look good, boy.
13:05Shannon Sharpe:You know, he look great.
13:06Chad Johnson:That boy took care of his damn. So I'm talking about, ooh, we can you imagine probably the explosion that he got now? He's probably a little lighter. Hey, let me tell you something, man. If you ain't in that weight room, bro, chat, y 'all listen up. Man, doing a professional sport, obviously I know football, but in basketball, you cannot get through an 82-game season if your ass ain't in that weight room, bro. Your body will break down. That's too much up and down, Joe. It's no way in hell you get to play 82 games and you don't touch them weights at least two, three times out of the week. You got to.
13:40Chad Johnson:That's why it's so important that when these young guys get drafted to teams that they have a veteran presence, somebody who can show them the ropes but not only that you got coaches who you can trust and who can show you the ropes as well because it's easy to get lost bro
13:56Shannon Sharpe:Joe you said something very interesting earlier you said going to the right situation matters it does it absolutely matters because I remember a lot of guys that we had because I had Dan Reed for three years I had Wade Phillip for two years and a lot of the guys they would do for Mike what they wouldn't do for Wade and me, I'm gonna play hard regardless. That's just the way I was brought up. You know, hey, the man give you an honor, you give him an honor day's work. Don't be going on people's job bull jiving. And that's what, it made me mad. I say, see what y 'all do? Cause y 'all see, they didn't fear Wade.
14:34Shannon Sharpe:They feared Mike, cause Mike'll cut your ass. And Mike'll tell you he cut you. He said, everybody that's in this room, you here for one reason, I wanted you here. nobody else me and when you leave this room you don't have to ask any questions why it ain't no general manager it ain't no owner it ain't no position coach me I'm the reason you're here that's all I needed to know but I was a guy that always did what I was supposed to do this is a lifelong dream of mine and I'm a mess and I'm not going to do what I'm supposed to like as far as eating and training and being on time I don't I'm like guys you there is no way you can tell me that you just woke up yesterday and said I want to be an NFL player but a lot of times because you've been great and people let you skate you come late you're the best player Ocho you can come late you make the Most plays, you do X, Y, and Z, you can do all this stuff.
15:43Shannon Sharpe:I could not in good conscience. I can't function like that.
15:47Chad Johnson:Because somebody who really believes in you, bro, and you let them down, that should do something to you. I was just telling my son this the other day, bro. I said, man, it's a slapping people's face when they expect something out of you, you know what I mean, and you don't deliver. Like they give you an opportunity and you play with it. Man, that's a slapping that person's face, bro. Yeah, so I get it. I'm like you, hey, when Boston drafted me, I wanted to be the best rookie they had. Okay, Ocho, I did everything I could. Hell, I just wanted to be on the damn court. I gotta tell you, they talk about ISO, there's a damn that ISO.
16:24Chad Johnson:Boy, I was hawking somebody down trying to play. Hey, I'm locking up. I'm in the passing lane. I'm being a pest on defense. Boy, I ain't getting about five shots a game, Ocho.
16:34Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but that's all you - I'm making them count though. The effort, that's it. Yeah, making them count. Steve Prefontaine said that. He said, to give anything less than your best is the sacrifice to give. To give anything less than your best is the sacrifice to give.
16:53Chad Johnson:You have a gift. I got to put that in my notes right there. That's a good one now.
16:58Shannon Sharpe:That is a gift. It's demeaning.
17:06Chad Johnson:I like that.
17:07Shannon Sharpe:Then Reeves went and got a guy from Savannah State in the seventh round. Hey, he figures like, hell, his brother's a first-round draft pick. They went to the same house. They ate the same thing. He got to have something in there.
17:24Shannon Sharpe:I just don't get it, guy. I just don't get it. And you can't make me get it.
17:32Shannon Sharpe:I don't do lazy. I don't.
17:37Chad Johnson:not when you done reached the highest level bro yeah okay i don't sacrifice i done did everything

By the time we got out of individuals, practice was a breeze. Oh, yeah. Man, that man worked the dogs. Man, look here. Joe, I was tired like a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest.

He didn't give, he gave me the ability to play a sport. Yeah. He gave me that, he gave me this body. He gave me this mind. And he allowed me to be born to Mary Alice Porter and Wynton Pete Sharp.
19:44Chad Johnson:Hello.

The homies I was kicking it with, my homeboy Vaught, BG, we was together every day. None of us was on none of that. You know what I mean? We wasn't drinking, smoking. All we did was hoop.

I ain't go to school. I never went to school the next summer. Obviously, the white kids, they going to Disney. They doing stuff like that. They ain't talking about working.

I'm nine, ten years old lifting them big old bales of hay. The hay that y 'all see they've given them damn cows and them horses, yeah. At ten, I can handle a bale of hay by my damn self. You were strong back then, boy. Oh, you think it's a weightlifting body, huh? No, it ain't nothing weightlifting body. Yes, it definitely helped, but no. And I wanted to show because I was, like I said, they called me peewee because I was so small. Yeah. I had to show. I had to carry my own weight.
24:25Shannon Sharpe:Man, hey, because you start walking behind the back of picker. As you get older, you start cropping tobacco. Once you start cropping, you get big and strong enough, you can hang the racks. Yeah. You graduate hanging the racks to working at the barn. You get to drive the trucks to and from. Yeah, you get to do it. That's my goal. I walked behind the picker. I wanted to crop. I wanted to hang racks. I wanted to work at the back. I wanted to work at the barn. That was my goal. I mean, I was so smart, I had to tiptoe. Catman calves be on fire at the end of the day.

27:04Chad Johnson:I ain't never heard of that. I didn't hear. Hey, but guess what, man? It built good character, man. It shaped y 'all up, man, to some decent young men. It shaped y 'all up.
27:15Shannon Sharpe:Hey, it was going to build me to go to the military because I was already disciplined. And my brother said, if my grandfather doesn't pass because he already told the coaches, Coach Hall coached all my uncles. My uncles ended up breaking their leg, breaking their collarbone. And Barney said, nah. He said, no. He said, Hall? He done talked to my uncles because they had the same type of body. They just weren't as tall as I am, but they had the same type of body. They grew up working on a farm. They got muscles, big old wide backs and quads and hamstrings and biceps. Coach Hall done talked to Papa and they're letting him play.
27:52Shannon Sharpe:He said, Hall, if one of them boys get hurt, who's going to help me on this damn farm? Mr. Porter, ain't nothing going to happen to him.
28:04Shannon Sharpe:James break his leg. He didn't tell their sister coach that Papa said that if somebody something happened to one of them boys, one of y 'all lads gonna be out there in the fields helping me with these fields. He done talk, hey, take that boy home. He pull up there, James get out of the car, got the crutches. Papa looked at him. What the hell wrong with that damn boy? Mr. Porter, he broke his ankle. Did Hall tell you what I had told him? No, sir. He said, I told him if something happened to one of them damn boys, one of y 'all going to get your ass out there in the field with me. Mr. Barney, I don't know anything.
28:52Shannon Sharpe:I don't know anything about farming. So who in the hell going to help me in these fields? He said, don't worry about it. You won't get another one. You won't get another one.

Now, if you cropped it back and you got$16, but I walked behind the picker, I got$5. And he made a mistake in bull drive, and he took my pay down and got a raise.

33:11Now I'm stuck down a rabbit hole filled with images of alarmingly graphic sores in various stages of ooze. I can clear my search history, but I can never unsee that.

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.

35:04Chad Johnson:Man, look here. He's going to be okay, Uncle Joe. He's gonna be okay. It was just a backflip. It was just backflip. He just showing you, you know, how How solid that ankle is right now and most of the time, you know after you show me a training camp Huh? Show me a training camp. Oh, he definitely gonna show you cuz you know He was he was the show now. He was a showman before he got hurt him and Jackson Dart. That's it
35:29Shannon Sharpe:Oh, I love scat pack.
35:30Chad Johnson:Oh, Arizona State. Oh, he would like that. Oh, he would like that. Oh, yeah
35:35Shannon Sharpe:Oh, I like the young man. I like him a lot
35:40Chad Johnson:I don't want him to take too much of what makes him him away from it. Fun kid, entertaining. He's a live wire. And that's something that makes him who he is. And that's something that the New York Giants need.
35:56Shannon Sharpe:Hold on, before you go, Joe, he later addressed it. Take a listen. Do you enjoy being like the wild maniac moniker? Is like is that insulting or is that like you know I? Totally enjoy that part. I think I less enjoy the brain dead kind of guy But it is what it is mean the New York people love it So I'm just gonna keep being mean if they want to say I'm branded and I don't have no brain then cares fucking
36:28Shannon Sharpe:No, we're saying be smart. I I don't know, but you need to, A, all you have to do is go look at Earl Campbell. You can't break these guys. They're too big. They're too strong. Be smart. Sometimes you got to know when the journey's over. Go ahead, Joe.
36:50Chad Johnson:When you young, man, you just, it ain't too much that you scared of, bro. Think about it. When y 'all was 21, 22, y 'all probably was out there. I couldn't imagine trying to do no damn backflip at 45. You know what I'm saying? Think about it. I'm just saying, man, like when you young like that and you got so much life ahead of you, like he ain't thinking about no damn injury, man. That man been laid up for how long? He just want to get back out there. And this is what you have to deal with with these youngsters, bro. And like he say, the New York fans love it. That man going to keep doing it. It's just who he is at this point.
37:26Chad Johnson:I like it. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Doing the game. Y 'all want to put that damn blink on and go. No.
37:33Shannon Sharpe:Hey, Joe, if it's a crucial situation, it's okay. It's okay. I'm telling you, it's a rarity that run to contact backs have a long shelf life. You get an anomaly. You get a Derrick Henry or you get an Adrian Peterson, guys that run to contact. But more times than not. I mean, that's true. Hey, I'll give you a prime example, Ocho. Joe, your guy. You remember Zeke used to run the contact, didn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he went from a racehorse to a plow horse. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Zeke was mean, boy. Mm-hmm. And after a while, what happened, Joe? Yeah, he started putting that blink on. He was getting over.
38:18Shannon Sharpe:Hey, those runs that used to be 25 and 30 yards turned into a five - and six-yard game. They break you down. You got to be smart. in this league, you got to be smart, don't you? Hey, there are times, hey, I got to be bravado. I got to go cross the middle and take it. But sometimes, hey, let me put this turf up on my –
38:41Chad Johnson:I mean, over time, he'll understand it. He doesn't understand it right now. He's too early for him to understand it. But he going to get to a point where he's going to – Longevity is concerned. Sometimes you got to make business decisions. Yes. Sometimes you got to make business decisions. Hey, in the running back position, hey, hopefully it ain't too late. You know, because their career isn't long.
39:06Shannon Sharpe:And it gets even shorter when you run the contact. Yeah. Because the freshest of back is going to be, Joe, when he's right out of college. Yeah, yeah. That's the freshest he's going to be. Because guess what? Normally, if he's any good, he's probably 20-21. Yeah. By the time you get to 26, they're looking at their next 20-21 year old. Yeah, yeah. Damn. That's how they look at it. I just want to – look, I want the man to – because like you said, man, he and Jackson Dart, they're great. And I want him because I understand that the running back position is starting to come back, Ocho, for certain ones.
39:47Shannon Sharpe:I mean, yeah, you get a Christian McCaffrey, but how many people got a Christian McCaffrey? Or Jameer Gills? Or a Saquon? Or a D. Henry? Everybody got those. Nah. That's reserve or the guy up in Buffalo. James Cook. Everybody got those. Those are very few that have that kind of value. If you see, guys are most valuable. Look at the running back. Love. Jeremiah Love. You see the contract that he got? Why he got that contract, Ocho? Because he's 20.
40:16Chad Johnson:Yeah.
40:17Shannon Sharpe:He's 20. Oh, yeah. Now, if you get a 60-whatever, 58 million, 60-something million dollar contract at 20, Now, in order for it to, like, they still believe in you, you have to get you a$100 million contract when your contract up in three years.
40:36Chad Johnson:I mean, you got to be putting in some work, boy.
40:40Shannon Sharpe:You get that kind of money, you go to that house a running back, oh, you get your body ready to take about 300 carries. You're going to get it ready, Ocho. You already know. It's just like, hey, wide receiver, you the number one pick, and you going to a bad team, and you, hey, they're going to throw 120 balls at you.
40:56Chad Johnson:Quick. Hey, and they don't value the running back no damn way. Hell, dude just won them MVP in the Super Bowl. Hell, they ain't bring him back. Yeah. Seahawks. They don't value the running back. K-9. Yeah. They don't value you if you're not special.
41:10Shannon Sharpe:They don't view him as the end. Yes, absolutely. You got to be a Christian McCaffrey, a Jameer Gibbs, a Derrick Henry. You got to be Saquon. You got to be special, special.
41:22Chad Johnson:Yeah. Yeah. And it's like, I mean, we appreciate what you did, but. They believe they can replace you. Yes. If you ain't him, Joe, they believe they can replace you. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's what, hey, that's in any damn sport, Uncle Ocho.
41:40Shannon Sharpe:Yes. Yeah. If you ain't him. But that's what you got to do, and that's why I'm telling Scott, bro, I understand there'll be times that you're going to have to get that first down. Yeah. You're going to have to lower your shoulder. but be smart about it.
41:57Hey,
41:58Shannon Sharpe:I don't care how tough a material is. If I hammer it enough, I break it.
42:03Chad Johnson:Yeah.
42:04Shannon Sharpe:I don't give a damn. Beat on it long enough.
42:08Chad Johnson:I'm breaking.
42:10Shannon Sharpe:Eventually, it might take me a while.
42:17Shannon Sharpe:Probably tell my brother us all the time, we be chopping wood. he like hey boy move that stump I'm like I'm looking at him like he's like move the stump I'm like he said boy you can move anything if you cut it up in enough pieces now bust that stump I'm looking at it as just a singular piece he's telling me to split it up and then I can move it so in other words it can be broken beat on it long enough
42:51Shannon Sharpe:just be smart scat just be smart i understand like you said joe when you young you think you invincible yeah you think you like oh man ain't nothing can happen to me i'm young man come on i'll show you i went hey go back and think about some of the things that you did when you was young
43:14Chad Johnson:jumping off the roof
43:15Shannon Sharpe:I'm like you heard my brother tell me what would my brother tell you he's most proud of he said he wasn't supposed to be here yeah I wasn't I just oh have mercy they gotta be a god I can't explain it Joe I can't my grandma used to say boy so you gonna end up in jail you gonna end up dead you tell me that all the time I'm like damn Am I that bad? And you were getting into stuff like that? I was just, Joe, I just my mouth, man.
43:50Chad Johnson:You talked back a lot.
43:52Shannon Sharpe:I did, Joe. And she couldn't hit me hard enough to stop me. She stopped me for a day or two, but I like smoking. I'll be talking again.
44:03Shannon Sharpe:I'll be talking again. Damn. Hey, man, I'll be, hey. Make me sick.
44:12Chad Johnson:But hey, you get knocked back in your head, you talk about somebody, your grandma or your mama make you - You be here, baby. You ain't got to say nothing, Joe. Hey, they reading body language and all. You suck your teeth, anything.
44:26Shannon Sharpe:Oh yeah, you know, I think the Jamaicans call it kissing your teeth.
44:30Chad Johnson:Yeah. Ooh, Lord have mercy, boy. My grandma will quit, but you got something wrong with your mouth? Yeah. And all this, yeah. Aw, man. My dang. I'm just breathing. Yeah, I give you something to say.
44:43Shannon Sharpe:A little quieter.
44:44Chad Johnson:Yeah, I knocked the taste out your damn mouth. Yeah, yeah.
44:47Shannon Sharpe:Hey, the more people that play.
44:49Chad Johnson:Yeah.
44:49Shannon Sharpe:We might need to bring some of that back, because boy, look here, these kids now these days.
44:54Chad Johnson:Are you going to jail now?
44:56Shannon Sharpe:You're going to jail now. You're going straight to jail. Yeah, he is going straight to jail. Oh, for sure. For sure. For sure. Yeah, your brother told you that, hey, they would dig Barney up right now and arrest him. He ain't no problem, but they put him in jail. So your bones deserve to go to jail for what you do.
45:15Chad Johnson:Yeah. Hey.
45:17Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, man, but I want a young man to have, look, I understand. Because when you young, you excited, you in the NFL, this is a lifelong dream. But the thing is, is to try to make the dream last as long as you possibly can.
45:31Chad Johnson:Hello.
45:32Shannon Sharpe:And what people don't realize, Ocho, say, man, my dream was to play in the NFL. Well, your dream might only last one year. Yep. Tom Brady had a dream in the last 23 years. But the average dream only lasts two and a half to three years. That's your – you said you had a dream to play. Ain't nobody promised you no 5, 10, 15, 20-year career.
45:58Shannon Sharpe:Think about it. Tom Brady played 23 years. A lot of guys played 10, 15, 18 years. But the average NFL career is two and a half to three years. So when you factor in all that, that's what it is. Can't play. No, I stopped playing basketball. Once I got, after my freshman year, I got drafted. I came back because I wanted to win the IBA. I wanted to interview a basketball championship one more time. Yeah. And then I went to the park. We lost. The man, the old man, beat the brakes off us, Joe. I went to the park. I said, man, this is my last time playing. I say, I'm not going to lose. I say, this is the last time I'm playing, but this is the last time I'm going to play on the blacktop.
46:48Shannon Sharpe:This is the last time I'm going to play organized basketball. I'm never picking up a basketball again. I walked off the court. I didn't lose that day. I didn't pick up a basketball again for 30. I can't remember the last time. The last time I played basketball, Joe, was 1991. It's been 35 years since I dribbled a basketball and somebody was up there trying to defend me.
47:08Chad Johnson:Damn. You probably got a goal at your house, though, you shoot on there now and then.
47:13Shannon Sharpe:I do. I don't even go out there, Joe. I don't even go out there. Man, you ought to go skiing for what? Field mayor? Lizzie Bond? She didn't play football to get in shape for skiing? Because I saw too many guys tear ACLs, Ocho. Skiing. Playing basketball. Nah, I'm feeling cool.
47:39Chad Johnson:Hey, hey, hey, hey. When I was playing in Utah, you know, obviously, in professional sports, you ain't supposed to ski or snowboard or none of that. But boy, look, when I was in Utah, I got an old Joe, I'm a snowboarder. I like to snowboard. I think that's something we all should go do, man. We should go snowboarding. Now you talking, Joe. You see what I'm saying? Nah, nah. Huh? Nah, I'm good. Snowboarding sideways, you on the board, Unk. It's like riding a skateboard.
48:04Shannon Sharpe:Look, the dude, when they put the hips in, they say, Mr. Sharp, you got 20, 25 years out of them.
48:13Chad Johnson:Damn.
48:14Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to try to get my 25. I ain't trying to go through that again, man.
48:18Chad Johnson:I ain't trying to go through it again. I ain't been holding you. On the snowboard, you're going to be okay because it's the snow.
48:25Shannon Sharpe:You still fall. That still hurt. You see Lindsey Vonn, she fell and almost had to have a leg amputated. The snow. You ain't going fast. You don't know how fast it go. You don't get to control that. Hey, I snowboard. I go watch y 'all. I tell you what, we'll go. I drank hot chocolate. When y 'all come back in there and say, hey, man, we had a great run. Hey, I'll be right there by the fireplace.
48:53Chad Johnson:It ain't going to be the same unless you get on the board, huh?
48:56Shannon Sharpe:Mm-mm. I'm good. You got to find something. You got to find something. Get one of those bicycles. to get one of those beach cruisers. Like D-Bo.
49:07Chad Johnson:What about if we went go-kart racing at like Andretti's or something?
49:14Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Lord, that person. Man, this is bad. Hell.
49:16Chad Johnson:You could get in a damn go-kart and let me smoke you.
49:19Shannon Sharpe:Oh, I used to race with the kids. Joe, you too heavy, Joe. You can't, your car ain't gonna be moving that fast, Joe.
49:30Chad Johnson:My driving skills though, I can't hold you. My cutoff game, like you trying to pass me,
