18:17Shannon Sharpe:You made the price go up even more. For sure. Yeah. But you know, sometimes we had rookies, they wouldn't know how to draft picks. You know, I went, I helped them out. Right. But if you were the first round draft pick, and you on the skill position running back or wide receiver, yeah, you got it. Get all that.

18:40Joe Johnson:You know what's funny too? What's that? You know what's tradition? all NFL teams obviously rookies based on position you all have rookie night obviously the dinners when I was a veteran I never did it I never made the rookie have to do anything

19:26Joe Johnson:I was kind of cool about it.

19:33Joe Johnson:Well, that's right. I had to do Popeyes, huh? Yeah. For the receivers. I had to do Popeyes on game day as a rookie, Joe. Hey, you mentioned the game when I wasn't dressing. I still had to get Popeye's.

19:44Shannon Sharpe:Listen, man, I had to get coffee, donuts, and a newspaper. These folks ain't even looking at the newspaper. Hold on, hold on, Joe.

19:51Joe Johnson:Now, this is very important, man. When you go get donuts, we talk about Dunkin' Donuts or we talk about Kris Kreme?

19:56Shannon Sharpe:I was getting Dunkin' Donuts at the time. Nah, they had this place, I think it's called Winchell's. And they're talking about they want them hot. Oh, I know about Winchell's, aunt. Yeah, I think that was the name of it, Ocho. And Joe, they're talking about they want them hot. and they wanted six glaze and they wanted with jelly donuts and they want... I said, come on, man. Damn. And they want breakfast sandwich. They got this spot. They got breakfast sandwich. I want bacon, egg, and cheese. I want sausage, egg, and cheese. Well, I want mine on a... You be late for that plane. You want to? Man, please.

20:32Shannon Sharpe:But I wanted to fight these dudes for real. And I know they couldn't beat me. I want to fight these in words for real. And then I was just like, you know what? I ain't going to lie, Joe. But like week eight or week nine, I just told her, I said, I ain't bringing no more donuts. You said that? I said, I ain't bringing no more donuts. They said, all right, you know what's going to happen. I said, okay. If anybody's knowing y 'all, because they're going to cut me, because I'm going to whip every last one of y 'all. Did you bring them? No. I was done. They weren't even eating them. Okay. First of all, I'm a seventh-round draft pick, Ocho.

21:13Shannon Sharpe:I ain't got no bread like that. I'm buying all this stuff, and when I leave, you know, I sit them in the guy's locker, and they still, I mean, somebody might eat one donut. Somebody might eat, you know, one breakfast sandwich or two breakfast sandwiches. I done bought seven, eight. Nah. They didn't want you to put the work in. They just want you, hey, they just want you, they just want to put your ass to work. I'm having to get up early. hey they wasting your money huh that's okay hey hey not only that you gotta leave practice early on days we finna fly yes you gotta leave practice early cause you gotta go get all these sandwiches yes thank you Joe thank you subways boy you gonna be late we calling you you ain't got about 10 minutes boy you pulling up sweating like I don't know what yeah somebody want Popeyes somebody want Kentucky Fried Chicken somebody want Burger King I mean why can't you just go get Popeyes

22:16Joe Johnson:that's crazy

22:17Shannon Sharpe:so that was the end of that I did it I did it for as long as I could once I'd have kept doing it if they were eating the sandwiches I'd have kept buying them no problem but nah y 'all not eating them and then you know the D lineman eating them and the offensive lineman eating them nah right I say hey well I guess this ass cut I'm going to have to take. But I tell you what, two of y 'all are going to get effed up. I promise you that. Did they complain? What are they going to do? I told them whatever y 'all want to do. Right. Oh, damn. They gave me the name Big Greasy for a reason.

22:55Joe Johnson:Yeah.

22:56Shannon Sharpe:Big Greasy.

23:01Joe Johnson:Hey, Unc. Huh? I would have had to jump on you, boy. I would have had to jump on you, boy. Like a chicken on a jelly, boy. I ain't got into it, no.

23:09Shannon Sharpe:I got into it one time. For real? Yeah, me and CK. Because I was a rookie. Because when they moved me to tight end, obviously, I had to go into the tight end room. Right. CK was a vet. CK sat behind me. And every day, you know, I don't want to cause no trouble. My grandma say, boy, I don't seen you nowhere. You know how to behave. You know how to act. Yes, sir. C.K. kept knocking my, um, so I have all my thing out, so I'm trying to take notes. So I have my notebook out. Man, it ain't worried y 'all like to maybe say this ninja would, like, kick the book and all my papers fine. So, you know, I got to rearrange them.

23:49Shannon Sharpe:Right. And so I thought, okay, it's a rookie. I'm a rookie. Okay, I'm going to eat this a couple of times. You know, one of them days, guys, you just don't even feel like being bothered. Uh-oh, you snapped on? You catch the right guy, but it just happened to be the wrong day. Yep.

24:15Shannon Sharpe:Man, that Joe kicked that thing over one more time, that last time. Boy, I jumped out of that seat, death flipped over. By that time, I was right here. I got him out of his seat. I said, CK, you do that one more time, bro. I'm going to beat your ass and you're going to beat me. And I don't think you can beat me. I don't think you can beat me. Who broke it up? I ain't have nothing. Nobody. They were just looking like, well, damn.

24:48Joe Johnson:I bet he said, I'm just playing.

24:51Shannon Sharpe:I bet he ain't do it no more. Because at that time, my eyes, when I get really, really upset, my eyes get really red and they start to water I had a young lady she used to call me beast because when I get really upset she's like man look at your nostrils

25:13Shannon Sharpe:so she called me beast man I was like boy look here had I been a well he wouldn't have done that if I was a vet but he thought like and see I don't like all that picking that's what they call it In the South, we call it picking, Ocho. They call it bullying now.

25:31Joe Johnson:Trying to bully, yeah. I don't do all that picking.

25:35Shannon Sharpe:And grown men don't play like that. I had no telling man, stop that, man. I was thinking the coach, the Tynan coach, was going to say something. But he didn't.

25:48Shannon Sharpe:That was it. And then I slapped a dude one time because he was playing. Damn, huh? You slapping people at work? Look here, man. And when a man tell you to stop playing, what you do, Joe? Stop playing, hell. It was cold, and he knocked the ball out of my hand. I'm talking about it was cold. I'm talking about I bundled up. I got two sweatsuits, two pair of sweatpants on. I'm talking about it cold out there. Come on, man. So he knocked the ball out of my hand. I said, man, stop playing. So catch me a pass. I come back. he hit the ball and the ball hit me in the face and before I had knew it I had them punched him there in his face a little slight reaction I'm talking about I snapped he said man you for real they said that man just punched the shit at you what you think I went on about my business that was the end of that I bet he didn't do it no more Nope.

26:53I mean, we didn't speak for a couple of days, but we were cool after that.

26:59Shannon Sharpe:I don't do our look. We had a group that we used to play jokes on each other. Me, Burns, House.

27:10Shannon Sharpe:Double-A dude named Alan Aldridge, rest his soul. He passed away. It was about four of us in foots. So we would play jokes on each other. Couldn't do it in the cafeteria. But if we saw you somewhere outside, like, man, Joe could be eating in his locker, and you come knock all his food out. Oh, okay. We did that in high school. We did it in high school. So check this out, Joe. Check this out, Joe and Ocho. This dude, I get my food. And Ray Jacobs, that's who it was, Ray Jacobs. So every day I would come with pancakes. I come with pancakes from LaPete. I get wheat germ pancakes Banana sliced on top That's it, that's what I would get I would park in the same spot Every day How about dude laying up Under his car He laying up under his car I ain't thinking nothing about it Man I got my Pancakes, got my orange juice I'm just gonna tear this up How do you roll up Under his car and just kick my bag right up Out of my hand oh man they and Kate go everywhere yeah he laid on the ground under his truck like Kate Fear you see the movie Kate Fear with Robert De Niro that's how old boy did me hey you know

28:34Joe Johnson:back in high school we played that and you got something in your hand they slap it out your hand real quick and it hit the floor

28:41Shannon Sharpe:it's yours

28:42Joe Johnson:but it hit the floor though Joe so you can't eat it no more I play three second rule, boy. Three second rule, I'm picking it up. I'm eating mine.

28:51Shannon Sharpe:You couldn't eat that because we hit on the floor and just step on it. You ain't eat that on Joe. That's exactly what guys would do. Tell me, oh, three second rule, it's good. Three second rule, yep. Joe, y 'all ain't play that three second rule, Joe? Nah, nah, nah. We played games like if you had something in your hand and I liked it and I knocked it out, then it was mine. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. We be in training camp, Ocho. I go around and screw the top off and just barely put it back on. All the salt and pepper shakers. So when they get some... All the pepper in the plate. All the salt on the food.

29:33Shannon Sharpe:Hey, boy, you man. I was. I did. I did. That was... Hey. That was all the stuff that I wanted to do. I said, I couldn't wait. They got me, Joe. Yeah, yeah. That's the thing. I got to get my get back. Yeah. I hated when, because that was my, in 2003, my last year playing, we had training camp at the facility. That's when they had started, you know, bringing in, and we didn't go back to Greeley anymore. But to go to Greeley, to be in that dorm, because we stayed at UNC, University of Northern Colorado, up in Greeley. Man. Oh, we stayed in some mess. Oh, man. Oh, Ocho, Ocho would have been mad. Oh, we got Ocho.

30:27Shannon Sharpe:Who? We got Ocho. You're a rookie. Nah, but y 'all would have loved me. Y 'all wouldn't have messed with me. Yeah, we would have. And you're a rookie, yeah. And then we got you so bad. And you like, oh, I'm getting me somebody back. Yeah. They make something up to get you, Ocho. It don't matter if you're doing everything right. They going to make something up.

30:50Joe Johnson:It's all good. It's all good. Yeah, because you're only a rookie once, Ocho. Yeah, you're right. You're right. And then guess what?

30:58Shannon Sharpe:You're going to be a vet longer than you're going to be a rookie. Rookie, yeah. So guess about all the rookies that come in after you. Yeah.

31:05Joe Johnson:See, I let all the rookies slide that came after me. I was a good sport about it too, Uncle Joe. I was a good sport about it. I want to. But listen, listen, I understand this tradition. I really ain't into that. So I'm going to accept it. I'm going to pay what I need to pay. Hood before the games. I'm going to get your Popeyes, you know.

31:23Shannon Sharpe:I'm good. I don't want no Popeyes. I want you to sing. Where you from? Put your hand over your heart. Where you from? Oregon State. What position you play? Wide receiver. How about you, your signing bonus? 500. Oh, hell no. How you get$500 ,000?

31:43Hey,

31:47Shannon Sharpe:the worst thing in the NBA was when they made you as rookies, they make all the rookies carry these little girl backpacks. You had to carry like a pink backpack, or it might have to be clear to where you can see everything. It might be a butterfly backpack. Door to explore. Oh, man. Oh, yeah. Door to explore. All that. Yeah. Yeah. Old season. But that's gone on. What we did was passed down. They have been doing that for like 40, 50 years, old Joe Joe. Yeah. Damn. So we just want to keep the tradition going. Okay. All that that cutting up. We ain't cutting no hair. I mean, I see some people cut people hair.

32:34Shannon Sharpe:Nah, we ain't cutting nobody. I ain't cutting nobody hair now. Wow. Oh, yeah, man, they be getting new, man. They cut half the side of the hair off like this here. The rest of the side is there. Oh, man. Oh, yeah, they get your mohawk. They do all. Oh, man, Joe, I said, oh, no. Y 'all doing too much for that.

32:55Shannon Sharpe:That's too much. Then was the days. I'm sorry. Man, you know what? Now that I think about it, y 'all ain't getting no rookie initiation, Joe. Joe, we didn't get y 'all no rookie initiation. Joe? Yeah. What we don't do to him? I don't know. We think of something. Hey, I'm two years in. Yeah, you right, Joe.

33:21Joe Johnson:We done passed the test. Not really. We still got to initiate you, though. Hey, Unk, you know what? I'm kind of mad, too, Unk.

33:30Shannon Sharpe:What then?

33:31Joe Johnson:For what? I'm mad. He faking an injury, trying to duck me, man. Oh, he ducking you, Ocho? Yeah, he ducking me. I'm thinking about that. I just thought about that.

33:38Shannon Sharpe:Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, hey, hey. What I ain't doing in the big three ain't got nothing to do with you, brother. Oh. I'm going to be able to tend to you soon. Don't you even worry about that. Damn. Yeah. Don't worry about that. You think so? Yeah, yeah. Ocho, that left leg, he said that left leg is only like 115. So he ain't going to be able to push off it.

33:58Joe Johnson:Hey, all I'm going to do, I'm going to go to his right because you got to push off that left. That's right. That's right, Ocho.

34:03Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, you can't see in that damn right eye. So we even. We even.

34:09Joe Johnson:Yeah. Hey, Joe, don't talk about my eye, Joe, for real.

34:42Shannon Sharpe:Boy, don't want to have to... I just... You know what?

34:44Joe Johnson:I remember what it was like in 1994 when I had that surgery and I had inflammation on the inside. My grandma thought it was pink eye. I don't know what it was, but Unk, I remember they took the Q-tip. Yeah. And they took the Q-tip on top of the eyeball. Yeah. And you feel that needle go in, but you can't feel the pain because they have it. They numbed it. That's the worst feeling, man. I just don't want to go through that no more, man.

35:09Shannon Sharpe:And then I had a late - No, that ain't what they do with a cataract now. They actually lift it up and pull it out.

35:16Joe Johnson:Oh, man.

35:17Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah. They got to get that up out of there. Go on, get it done, bro. You got to get right.

Sophomore, I had to deal with it in college. And once I got to Santa Monica, for some reason, it started to straighten back up. But I still couldn't see how that.

39:56Shannon Sharpe:Hey, y 'all remember Klump? When Dave Chappelle Reggie, when he asked you, should I get him? Get him, get him. Should I get him? What would he do for a Klondike bar? Now we know who's eating Gil was great. I bet when you cut him, He bleed chunky. Man, Ocho, I'm going to get you. I'm telling you, I'm going to get that surgeon so you can see. Nah, man.

John Quayle Jones had 19 points as the Liberty beat the Sky 96-95. Sabrina Inescu hit the winning layup with about 10 seconds remaining. She subbed back on the floor with 15.6 seconds remaining, caught the ball, drove for the basket before finishing with her left hand to seal the Liberties' eighth straight win. She finished the night with 10 points. Stewie and Satu Sabali had 17 points. Rookie Sidney Taylor scored 24 points in the first career start, hitting 57 % from downtown for the sky.

41:58Shannon Sharpe:Olivia Miles is the only rookie with more 20-point games this season. Gabriela Hawkins, also a rookie, at his season-high 22 points for the sky. Look, I mean,

42:14Shannon Sharpe:the Liberty. I mean, Sabrina Nesco, I think she had surgery this offseason. So she's trying to work herself back in shape. But when you look at what they have, they got two bigs. They got Stewie and Jonquil Jones. Jonquil Jones has been an MVP. She was the finals MVP last time they won it. Stewie has been a two-time league MVP and a finals MVP. They got a loaded team. They're really good. And they got Sabali now. Yeah. Yeah, they got a nice squad. They do. They got a big team. You look at Jones, you look at Stewart, you look at Sabali, they got a really big team. Mm-hmm. And once Onescu gets back in shape, they're going to pay.

42:56Shannon Sharpe:But this guy's been on hard times. They've been, you know, they've been... Angel Reese said, I tried to tell y 'all. Y 'all talking about I need to shut up. I'm trying to tell y 'all. They were trying to get me used to losing over there. So you think it's infrastructure, it's the organization? Something ain't right. Yeah. Because you look at Cardosa, she played 24 minutes. She only had four rebounds. Skylar Diggins, everybody talks about how competitive she is and she does not like to lose. Right. She got to get used to it over there. Hawkins, on that talent. That's the one who played for... What'd you say, Joe?

43:37Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, that's the rookie who plays for the UCLA. Yeah, they had, I think, five or six young ladies going to the first round. Natasha Cloud. I mean, they got okay, but something ain't adding up. Yeah, it ain't. I mean, you got Hawkins had 22. Taylor had 24. Diggins had 19. Cardoza had 10. Natasha Cloud.

44:04Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they're going to have to figure that out, man. I see... Joe, they was mad at you about what you said about Andrew Reese. What you said, Joe? What, about the accountability? Yeah, I mean, that's with anything, bro. If you can't take it, then don't dish it out. So, y 'all... See, they just disregard how Andrew slapped the ball out of her hand. Right. And the girl ain't pointing and try to, and dry snitch. Yeah. But when she tried to do it to her, she go pointing. Yes. Yeah. You can like Angel. And says, you know what, Angel? If you dish it, you got to be able to take it. You got to take it.

44:42Shannon Sharpe:I mean, I don't know what you said was wrong, Joe. I really don't. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They got on me about that. But it's okay. Hey, look, I like the dream, but I'm a realist too. You know, when I'm watching something and I see it, I'm like, hold on. She had just did the same thing, the old girl. Now she trying to snitch on her like, come on, bro. And y 'all need to do us a favor. Anytime Joe or Ocho or myself say something that y 'all don't like, stop talking about we don't watch the game. Because y 'all are your toy for that. And y 'all know damn well Ocho and I was watching these games. Y 'all know Joe and I was watching the basketball game.

45:20Every time we say something that y 'all don't agree with,

45:23Shannon Sharpe:oh, you didn't watch the game. well how the hell I know what happened if I didn't watch the game you're watching the game you don't know the hell you're looking at but anyway that's neither here nor there but stop that foolishness stop it you can disagree with what Ocho say what I say what Joe say that's fine just because you disagreed that doesn't mean we didn't watch the game we just have a different opinion on what happened that's okay Hey!

45:55Shannon Sharpe:You know, I don't think you're supposed to agree with everything I say. You're not supposed to agree with everything Joe says or Ocho says. You're having a right to your opinion. I have a right to mine. Everybody on this panel have a right to their opinions. Okay. But y 'all know, y 'all quick. He didn't watch the game. Really? Nah, I ain't watch the Spurs play. I ain't watch the Knicks play. I ain't watch nobody play. I ain't watch football. I don't even know football now.

46:23Joe Johnson:Right.

46:40Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, at least Joe is going to Dream's game. Yeah. Oh, you do? clips. I'm telling you things that happened in the game that they don't show in the clips. So then what? What are you saying? I'm telling you that the coverage they ran. I'm telling you who should have blocked who. Did you know who was supposed to block who? Did you know they were mollying the 3-4? Man, what's mollying? Man, hey, the tackle kick out to the widest guy and the guard kick out to the next widest. And they lead the back on the middle guy that's coming. Oh, oh. Ocho, now we tell you he's in a wide nine, a cowboy front. He's in a seven.

47:24Shannon Sharpe:He's in a five. He's in a shade. He's in a cock. But we didn't watch the game. They played cover five. They played cover four. They played cover six kick. They played – Lord have mercy. Just you can say, you know what, Shannon? Ocho, Joe, I don't agree with y 'all. Yeah. that's okay that's cool you don't agree okay what don't you agree with

47:53Shannon Sharpe:because if I don't agree with something I'm going to tell you what I don't agree with right I ain't going to say you didn't watch the game

Hold on, who the oldest? Indiana. Yeah, Indiana. Indiana. Indiana and Atlanta. Ah. I'm going to probably say more. What you got, Ocho? I'm going more. Damn, I sure hope some rebounds left because Angel going to be getting a bunch of them. But she's going to have to do a great job of keeping Angel off the board. So I'm going to say I'll go more. Angel Reese, more or less than 12 and a half rebounds. I think she's probably asking about 13 a game.

49:13Shannon Sharpe:The way that girl been eating that glass. She's getting to it, bro. I'm going to say more, huh? She all hustle. She is, bro. If she shot 50 % from the floor, Andrew Reese would be averaging 25 points a game. Maybe 30. Easy. All her shots she missing are in the paint. Yeah, she take her time. Man, what she just had? 11 offensive rounds the other night. Come on. Out of 17. That girl ain't going. the girl ain't playing bro Kaitlyn Clark more or less than 8 assists

Prize picks. A preferred partner of the NBA. All right. It's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q &A.

52:04Shannon Sharpe:Before we get to the Super Chat, we've got two video voicemails from our Discord. Let's take a listen. What's up, NICAP fam? I have two questions for you. One, this goes for everybody. Who in your careers or like what player or team when you guys got your schedule, did you look at and say, and circle and say, I don't care what our record is, I want to make sure y 'all get this work, a player or a team or both. And then two, for Ocho, Ocho, if you were playing in the World Cup right now, how would you be able to talk trash to the players and they speak a different language? Like, would you learn to do the language or you just talk the way you've been talking in your career?

52:42Shannon Sharpe:Keep doing what you're doing, guys.

52:46Joe Johnson:Hey, listen, for one, as a trash talker like myself, depending on who we're playing, I'm going to know what word to say based on whatever language of the team players that we're playing. So that'd be easy. And I like that he asked that first question too, Unc. Yes. About, about, about, um, damn. You circled the schedule, who you wanted to. hey hey joe i don't know joe you was probably playing unk unk remember though i think it was the 2005 season joe i looked at the schedule when the schedule came out joe uh-huh i had there they had them eliminate all the db's names the number one corner and the number two corner all from from week one all the way to 16 17 however many weeks it was and at the top of it said, who covered Ocho in 2005?

53:33Joe Johnson:And all they had to do was stop me one time, Joe. You stop me one time in a four quarter game, you get a check mark as you cover me. Joe, and I put it in my locker before the season started and let all them boys know, ain't none of y 'all finna be able to do nothing with me all season long.

53:50Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

53:51Joe Johnson:You know how difficult that shit was every week?

53:54Shannon Sharpe:And you went out there and done it.

53:56Joe Johnson:Man, I went out there and cut a effing fool, Joe. That's that 2005 season where offensively, boy, we might have been, what, maybe offensively ranked number two or three, something like that. Man, Joe, I was out there going crazy, boy. But it was hard, though, because they were trying to knock my head off. Yeah.

54:15Shannon Sharpe:For me, 2005, 2006, when I first got here to Atlanta, I had the Phoenix Suns marked on their damn calendar. I can't watch you. for lowballing me, letting me get up out of there. Yeah, yeah. Hey, Sean Marion, Amari Stoudemire, Steve Nair. I was trying to get them boys at work every time I played against them. Yeah, we ain't win a whole hell of a lot of games playing against them, but I gave them boys hell. You hear me? Yeah, yeah. Me, I looked at, obviously, everybody in our division, you got to get it to them because you're going to see them twice a year. Raiders, we had a Raider week, and then our number one rival was Raiders, then Kansas City, then probably the Chargers, then the Seahawks, but Raider week.

55:02Shannon Sharpe:How do you get them that work? And me, Ocho in the World Cup, this is how you look at somebody. You point to him, you?

55:12Shannon Sharpe:Everybody understand that.

55:13Joe Johnson:Yeah, yeah, yeah. They understand that. That's a good one.

55:17Shannon Sharpe:That's universal. That's a good one. Let's take a listen to our second one.

55:25I so welcome to the messy show three goals hat trick first game back to defend the title that he will win again that I will rightfully predict and a oh I'm sorry I can't invite you bro you said you're a Ronaldo guy awesome real stuff you know it wasn't even Ronaldo's fault they lost today I feel like with that midfield Juan Neves Vitinha Bruno Fernandes the best midfield in the World Cup they should be better and I think it's all boils down to Martinez. He's not the manager for him. He messed up Belgium's golden air when they had Hazard.

55:54Shannon Sharpe:Kevin De Bruyne, Lukaku, you name it. Courtois on the goal. So I think these next couple games that Portugal is going to play, they are must-win. Let me know what y 'all think. God bless.

56:05Joe Johnson:Ojo, the man

56:07Shannon Sharpe:is a bigger fan of soccer as you.

56:10Joe Johnson:Yeah, yeah. Remember when I told you the first thing, how bad the midfield played?

56:13Shannon Sharpe:Yep.

56:14Joe Johnson:It's the midfield job to be able to create for others. Obviously, I mean, they had the best midfield, I'd probably say, playing in the World Cup, but they weren't able to do anything. Cristiano can only do so much. Obviously, they want him to score, but it's difficult, especially playing the nine. It's not like he's able to take people on 1v1. He's not on the wing like he used to be. No, he's at the nine. So the midfield played horrible.

56:42Joe Johnson:The next two games, they are a must win because it can get ugly. Can you imagine Portugal not making it out of the group stage? they're going to fire that manager. Man. Absolutely. And hold on. Forget the manager. You know who they're going to blame everything on? Ronaldo. Ronaldo.

57:01Shannon Sharpe:The best player I always get to blame. Absolutely.

57:04Joe Johnson:Are he holding us back and all type of stuff?

57:07Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Them country, man. I know, was that Columbia, the guy that missed that kick and they end up? They killed him?

57:15Joe Johnson:Yeah, they don't play, y 'all. You don't understand what that World Cup being like. Was it the Goldie? Because the guy that had the big bush here, was that Valderrama? Yeah, that's Valderrama. It was their own goal. Yeah. Yeah, he had their own goal, I think.

57:32Shannon Sharpe:At this point, Messi is the GOAT, and it's not even close. CR7 has disappeared in national play. He's at this point, Messi is the GOAT, and it's not even close. CRC has disappeared in national play. Who said that? The GOAT 2022. Yeah, that's rude.

57:52Joe Johnson:Okay.

57:53Shannon Sharpe:That's very rude. Went to Houston for Portugal to DR Congo. For my birthday, the atmosphere was electric. Congo fans were outnumbered, but matched the energy 10 to 1. Portugal fans, get out and see a match.

58:11Joe Johnson:Yep, I'm going to Portugal, Colombia, down here, Miami. me.

58:16Shannon Sharpe:Boy, they be all over the place, man. They got these teams playing all over the place. Boy, they took over Atlanta. Oh, yeah. I can imagine. Who play in Atlanta tomorrow?

58:30Joe Johnson:Who play? I'll tell you right now. I got the schedule to save them a phone. Tomorrow we got Mercedes-Benz Stadium. you got is that Czech Republic is that Czech Republic yeah Czechsia Czechsia and South Africa that's who play we got Canada Canada play Qatar and Vancouver and Mexico play Korea and Guadalajara Mexico okay Switzerland play tomorrow too against Bosnia I'm sure I'm gonna be I'm gonna be on the plane do it wait I'm gonna be on the plane for I might

59:20Shannon Sharpe:be able to catch that 12 o 'clock game oh yeah two questions say do you think soccer players are fragile since their bodies bodies aren't callous like NFL players or do or do they not eat enough

59:32Joe Johnson:McDonald's I mean we we get I mean NFL player get get hurt at a far more higher rate than they do in the soccer, the game of soccer for those that have been paying attention to the World Cup as you can see, it's physical as well

59:53Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Ocho, I sold no way. Any other show is as diverse in all sports as you three levels to the game. Hello. We appreciate that. We try our best to be as knowledgeable as we possibly can. And what we don't know, we try to research and investigate and watch it. They got me watching World Cup and I'll probably start watching soccer again in four years in 2030. I ain't been to hold you. And see, I've been to watch these friendlies and all that other stuff because I'm not. I'm going to watch the World Cup and then I'm gone. But we appreciate that, man. That means a lot. Why is I so looking like the fifth member of B2K?

1:00:37Shannon Sharpe:I saw them back in New Orleans when they had just gotten started. As a matter of fact, that was in 2002 in New Orleans. I had an appearance with him. B2K? Yep. Yep. I remember telling my daughter to do what he was. I had no idea. Ocho, what do you think about Olyse from France? He was phenomenal in that game against Senegal.

1:01:09Joe Johnson:Olyse is awesome, man. He's awesome, boy. He's a magician on that ball. He can create, take people on 1v1. He's really, really nice. He's really nice. He's dope. He played for Bayern down in Germany. Bayern Munich? Yeah, he nice, man. He like that? Joe, I'm talking about silky smooth. You know, Olise is like Jamal Crawford, the way he, you know what I mean?

1:01:31Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. That's a comparison.

1:01:34Joe Johnson:Yeah, okay. That's real smooth, no wasted movement. Yeah, he cheeky with it.

1:01:42Shannon Sharpe:Dr. Frank L. Bellamy said, Hey, Unk, I've come to the realization that if the Knicks can end a 53-year drought, then the Cowboys are winning the Super Bowl this year. Hello. Let's go, baby. Let's go.

1:01:58Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I'm going to tell y 'all right now, boy, the Cowboys win. That's why you're not going to win. You see how you talking? See how you talking right there? That's why it ain't going to happen. Nah. Kyle, I'm too excited. Yeah, Joe. Hey, Joe. Hey, Unk, Unk, Unk, Unk, Unk, Unk, Unk, don't put that bad joke on. No, no, no. You put it on yourself. You burned the money. What did that?

1:02:16Joe Johnson:Hey, Joe.

1:02:16Shannon Sharpe:You know when you gambling, you can't touch your money, Joe.

1:02:18Joe Johnson:Hey, simmer down a little bit, Joe. Simmer down a little bit.

1:02:22Shannon Sharpe:Why I got to simmer down? Yes. Hey, I thought the man made a valid point. Hell, the Knicks won. That's Doc. What do you mean? That's our girl, Doc. You ain't never met Doc, but Doc doesn't been to every one of our shows. She came to Vegas. She came to Atlanta. She came to New Orleans. She came to San Francisco. We got a live show. Doc coming. Doc and her husband coming. Okay. Everyone. If she wasn't first, she had to be our second sub. Because some of them like Doc and Laney Ray and J-Dub from Akron, there's been about five or six that when the thing popped up, I saw those names. So that's how I'm able to remember, know them.

1:03:04Shannon Sharpe:But Doc had to be first or second. Yeah. and every year after the Masters they have a tournament down in Myrtle Beach she go she got a picture with my brother she's like hey I know your brother my brother said hey cause I told him I said look a lady named Dr. Frankie she gonna be down there I told her say hello and ever since then but Doc loyal hey chat y 'all been great though I mean we did unbelievable number We started out, I think we had about 1 ,000 people in the chat the first night, Joe. And then we built from there. We went like 2 ,000, 3 ,000, and 5 ,000. And subs, I mean, we went. As a matter of fact, we got, let's see, October, November, December, January, February.

1:03:56Shannon Sharpe:In five months, we had a million subs in five months. Yeah. Working.

1:04:04Shannon Sharpe:What's up, Big Three? Y 'all think the government won't step in if the NFL isn't on regular TV channels and all that streaming? No. Hell no. It's about money. Who won't step in? You do realize the NFL weren't supposed to play any games other than Sunday until the college season ended. That was the agreement that they made. So tell me what games, when the college season is coming on, the NFL come on. What day is other than Sunday? What about Monday? What about Thursday?

1:04:41Shannon Sharpe:NFL greedy.

1:13:13Shannon Sharpe:well I'm gonna knock taste out your mouth you hear me fire yes sir DeAndre 8 in comparison to Nnamdi Asomawa in the NFL he was that boy on the Raiders love this show what do y 'all think about the Steelers season nah he was never as good as Nnamdi Nnamdi at one point was the best corner in the game absolutely no DeAndre 8 was not That's not a comparison. Maybe when he went to Philly, you want to compare it because he was terrible in Philly. And I don't know what that was. Maybe they wouldn't let him play man. I don't know what it was. But he was, with the Raiders, he was phenomenal.

1:13:50Shannon Sharpe:And Aiden made it to the finals, huh? And gave Giannis a 50-piece in a closeout game. Woo! He can't do nothing with Giannis now. And he had a dunk and let Giannis block his lob dunk. Remember that? Yeah. What do you think about the Steelers? What about the Steelers this year? You like DK? Didn't they draft a wide receiver? Absolutely. They were trying to get Lemon, and somebody snuck them, the Eagles. Philly? Philly snuck and got them?

1:14:28Joe Johnson:I mean, you got Aaron Rodgers, man. You got Aaron Rodgers. it's the last dance for him. It is.

1:14:36Shannon Sharpe:He says this is his last year. Obviously, he's going to want to put his best foot forward. Oh, yeah. The question is, defensively, how are they going to be? Hayward is back, healthy. TJ tailed off at the end of the year. Is he healthy? Yeah.

1:14:50Joe Johnson:Jalen, you got Ramsey.

1:14:54Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Bernard. Yeah.

1:15:00Shannon Sharpe:what recommendations would you suggest to improve the wmba product i would love to see 12 minute quarters more minutes more basketball more minutes more advertising more money for the players well look i think they play 44 games i think in 27 they go into 50 and i think by 29 they can go to 52 so you're gonna get more games i think i think i think they play 10 minute quarters i think that's fine. That's 40 minutes in plenty. Yeah, I do too. I do too. And I think as the game grows, I think more advertisers will be a part of it. I think the product is unbelievable. They're playing as good as they have at any level.

1:15:37Shannon Sharpe:There's a lot of parity around the league. So no, I think it's only going to improve. But I wouldn't change it. Honestly, I wouldn't change anything, Joe. You got any recommendations for change, Joe? No, I don't got no recommendations for change. but I know for the ladies, I'm sure that they're happy because more games mean more pay. You know what I mean? And the way the women's game is growing, man, in the next five to seven years, Uncle Ocho, like they're making some good money now. They're making some real money now. Considering the fact that probably the highest paid player last year was at like$300 ,000, now you got them making millions.

1:16:14Shannon Sharpe:No,$244,$245 was the highest. Was it? And so now you got people making a million, million, two? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, so it's a huge jump. You know what I mean? I mean, I think Asia signed, what, a four-year,$5 million deal or something like that. Yeah. I think, what is Asia making, like 1.3, 1.4 a year? Yeah. In Vegas, that's really good because there ain't no state taxes. Yeah, yeah. And think about this. So in another five to seven years, man. Three-year,$5 million, Joe. So she's about 1.675? Yeah. Oh, yeah. So in about five to seven years? 1.66. The girl's going to make some real, real money.

1:16:58Shannon Sharpe:Five years, yeah, I can see somebody getting$2 million, two and a half a year. Yeah, yeah. When it's time to pay Caitlyn? Yeah.

1:17:06Joe Johnson:Oh, yeah. Hey, she's going to set the bar, huh?

1:17:09Shannon Sharpe:No, Olivia Miles is going to set the bar. Because she's going to be smack dab in the middle of it. they got a nice squad and the girl what's her name Napisha Napisha she ain't back yet when she get back yeah they got a nice little squad Fee can defend can score cause before she had that ankle injury she was like the MVP front runner yeah she won she won the Unrival last season one on one one v one like she can play uh What do we got? Ocho, Iso. Who did? Yeah. Olivia Miles balling. She going to be in the running of the MVP. They win? What did Kelsey do? KP.

1:18:09Shannon Sharpe:Olivia Miles going to be in the running for the MVP. I don't know if she can do like what Candace Parker did. Candace Parker won Rookie of the Year and MVP, but Olivia Miles can flat out play.

1:18:19Joe Johnson:That's the one from Notre Dame, huh?

1:18:22Shannon Sharpe:She transferred from Notre Dame to TCU. TCU, yeah, yeah, yeah. You seen her numbers tonight, huh? 12 or 15? Ooh. How many points she had, Joe? 31. 30 points. Damn. Oh, she can ball. She got game. She got wiggle. She got game like a guy. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, she does. That's what I said. She moves like a dude. She twitchy, yes. Yeah, oh yeah. You know who, like Maya Moore? If you look at her game, she got a lot. The one-hand layup, look at her game. Maya Moore had it all. She absolutely could.

It's just a spark. That you don't get under control, then it spreads. My guys, Ocho versus Prime. Iso picked the quarterback. Unc argues for Prime. Ocho argues for himself. Both in their prime.

1:25:35Shannon Sharpe:Let me tell you why you're not going to get no separation. Because Ty know you can't run by him. And once he knows you can't run by him, he's sitting on everything.

1:25:47Joe Johnson:You know I watch film, right? I done watch Prime my whole career. Yes. I done seen people run by Prime, but I done seen Prime get beat. By receivers that are nothing like me getting off the line.
