14:42Shannon Sharpe:Carl Anthony Towns Sr. calls out Jimmy Butler. Sr. said, it only hurts me as a father to hear people saying stuff that was negative that wasn't true to bring him down. But in the end, it all paid off. Jimmy ain't got no championships. Carl bypassed him. Mmm. Damn.

15:00Chad Johnson:Hold on.

15:00Shannon Sharpe:What?

15:01Chad Johnson:Why he came out and said that? Jimmy called him out or something? Yeah, Jimmy called him out because they played together in for Minnesota Timberwolves. Minnesota.

15:09Shannon Sharpe:And you remember the story that Jimmy said, I don't want to play with any of them. I'm going to pick my own guys, beat them, went home, talked to Rachel Nichols, say, hey, ask them what happened.

15:21Chad Johnson:Yeah. Oh, OK, OK. Yeah, it's been a whole spectacle. So Jimmy ain't never been too fond of Cat. and Cat has won an NBA title last year. His dad came out and said something. He's right. Cat has passed Jimmy Butler. You know, I think his productivity, Cat's productivity on the floor. I mean, even think about when you go back to the finals, the first two games in San Antonio, hell, everybody was saying Cat was going to be the MVP. The way he played those first two games against Wimby, he was super decisive, aggressive, You know what I mean? Drop. He didn't settle for a whole lot of them jump shots.

16:00Chad Johnson:He was the player that we all had been talking about him being over the past some odd years. He turned into that guy the first two games of the finals. So I give him that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he passed Jimmy Butler. Not only is he a champion, but he controls and manipulates the game in many ways, not just scoring. He's a hell of a defender. I thought he guarded well in the finals. they played through him to where he played make you know and made the guy and made the game easier for guys around him like jaylen brunson uh yeah man cat is a champion bro he's a hell of a player i ain't taking that same thing with jimmy jimmy's a hell of a player he's been to the finals he took a miami heat team who was less talented he took them to the finals yeah although they didn't win it, but, you know, he's been there.

16:51Chad Johnson:He's been on the biggest stage. But I think what Cat done this past year, especially in the finals, playing against Wimby, yeah, he's passing.

17:01Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Everybody wanted to know how would Cat respond on the big stage, and everybody said that, you know, Wimby, I thought he did an outstanding job on Wimby, defensively. Yeah, he pulled him outside of the plane. You had to honor him, because Cat would shoot the three. But Cat, the thing that I like is that Cat didn't settle for the three. Hello. sometimes a lot of times Cat would settle because he couldn't make that shot. Cat is 7 foot tall get your big butt down on the block sometimes. Get in that post yeah and he did that he did a little bit of everything he defended he made some big shots

17:38Chad Johnson:yeah yeah you gotta give we gotta give Mike Brown a lot of credit to Uncle Ocho because the offensive system that he put in when he got there from what Thibodeau had when he was there it's totally different he played through cat this year he took the ball out of brunson's hands in their finals in their playoffs in the playoffs in general and brunson was more of a two guard masquerading as a point yeah and cat took on their responsibility bro he played his role to the t i'm talking about from the first round all the way through the finals he was he was terrific so i tip my hat to the young man bro he was great hell i think he up for a contract extension while we talking about it.

18:17Shannon Sharpe:He is. But Cat, like, hey, I don't know if I'm going to be able to do a Jalen Brunson type. You look, hey, just because, what you call him, say he don't want to be in the second apron, that don't mean we got to start taking less. And I want players to do that. Don't let these owners off the hook. They make it much. Look at what these franchises are going for. The Vegas franchise is about to be$12,$13 billion, you know, Joe? Woo! You know where that money go? It gets divvied up between the other 30 owners. Right. So, no, don't let them off the hook. Don't let them scare you. You're talking about the second apron.

18:46Shannon Sharpe:and I don't want to go on the 2nd April. Guess what, Kat? Somebody give you that money.

18:49Chad Johnson:Oh, yeah. Somebody will give him the money, and he's well-deserving. The only thing I'll tell y 'all, okay, Ocho, is that I think he still has two years left on his deal. Right. And this ain't like football. In football, they'll restructure your contract, you know, make it sweeter for you. But in basketball, he locked in for the next two years. Yeah. I don't see the Knicks giving him a new contract this year. You know what I mean? Maybe next year when you're going into your contract year, we won't let you play throughout that. You know, obviously probably depending on the success, but the fact that they've won a championship in New York, hell, man, he got a little time to kind of chill out.

19:27Chad Johnson:The expectations ain't that high no more. I'm not sure that Knicks fans think they're going to repeat. You know, I think they're pretty content with the championship that they've got this past season.

19:41Shannon Sharpe:All right, guys. the story that everybody been wanting to talk about and it's taken over the internet over the last several days. LeBron's wife, Savannah James, says she doesn't feel the need to pay for her longtime friend and business partner, April McDaniel, to fly first class when they travel together. So Savannah flies first while April flies on a budget. And I think she spoke about that. She's like, look, I ain't got Savannah James money. I fly on a budget. Savannah says, my friends understand my situation and they've never made me feel like I was obligated to pay for anything. That's probably why they remain friends as Savannah James and we know who she is.

20:26Shannon Sharpe:And I heard people man if my husband was worth $1.4 billion I would do this. Well your husband ain't worth that. It's easy to say Ocho you know what oh joe if you had a billion dollars it's easy to say what we would do yeah we ain't got it yeah nope go ahead i'm gonna throw it up to you what you what you thinking what you thinking joe ocho and and listen half the people that are having these conversations half the people that are making some of these remarks um they probably would never be in a situation like this in general to be married to a billionaire a billionaire that's worked really hard for his money not only is he a billionaire but he's very financially conscious he doesn't spend like that you know he's very conscious what he does spend on and he spends when he actually has to you know and i heard people comparing well he's taking a helicopter that costs this and you mean to tell me you can't just pay for no absolutely not because everyone that's commenting on it they feel entitled yes they feel entitled yes money because you're a billionaire yes i am a billionaire yes i am married to one but I'm not obligated because we're flying somewhere that treats you to make sure you fly up in first class.

21:37Shannon Sharpe:I'm married to the billionaire, not you. But it just goes to show you how mindful and money smart they are. Yes. She doesn't fly private unless she's with Bron. Yes. Let that sink in for a second now. She's worth – LeBron is worth what he's worth. She's flying first class. She's not flying private. how many other family members how many other husbands wives worth a billion dollars when they fly fly first class they fly private yeah the funny thing about this conversation too uncle joe the funny thing about the dialogue and all the think pieces that are being written over twitter these are the same people that when they go out with their homegirls they all spit the check yeah they all spit the check huh you know i mean like what are we doing you know all these hypotheticals if I had this and if I had no you wouldn't no you wouldn't because you don't do it right now you don't do it on a small scale then you wouldn't do it on a bigger scale so I mean listen it's been it's been great topics I've been enjoying reading some of the ways some of the people think and most of the people that are having these conversations they're all entitled they're entitled because oh he she has it so she should do it because you have it most of the time just because you got it don't mean you're supposed to do that's how you keep it hello

22:59Chad Johnson:look the fact that she's married to a billionaire they ain't got nothing to do with nothing bro like if we doing business together and we flying somewhere together you get your damn flight i'm gonna get mine it don't matter what my husband or my wife got hey man they ain't got nothing to do with you you know what i mean so i respect it on a whole on a whole another level you know what i because it keeps your friendship authentic. You know what I mean? Meaning she ain't leaning on you for nothing else. She carrying her own weight. You carrying your own weight, regardless of whatever the situation may be.

23:31Chad Johnson:I hate when people look at it that way, bro. It ain't brown responsibility to get - You entitled to my money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, man. Because you my friend. Yeah, but hold on. Hold on now, Uncle Joe. Now, as a friend, if I feel like doing it - Yes, cool. Then okay. I'll extend that seriously. But you're not obligated. No, I'm not obligated because he got money? Hold on. My husband run a tight ship, even though he is a billionaire. Right. No, it don't work. And listen, you fly first class, you fly coach. Child, we land at the same time.

24:06Shannon Sharpe:Thank you. We still land at the same time. I'll see you when I get there. And that's the thing. But I love April even more because she's like, I ain't got it like that. Ain't no sense in me to rob and Peter to pay Paul to try to get a first class ticket so I can be somebody that I'm not. I ain't got first class money. I got economy or I got business class money. So guess what I fly? Economy or business class. A lot of times there are a lot of people that live outside of their means. A lot of people that's commenting, they live outside their means. Way above. And if they had that kind of money, it wouldn't be long before they lose it anyway.

24:42Yep. Simply based on some of the interactions that I've seen today.

24:46Chad Johnson:Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

24:49Shannon Sharpe:Savannah James knows that her friends are her friends not because who she's married to. Right. Because you get a lot of friends. I'm your, yeah, that's my friend. And I just, you know, I want to freeload. Boy, so many. My friends ain't obligated to none of my money. Look, if I want to fly, yeah, I fly my friends in. Yeah, but ain't nobody flying first. That's reserved for family members. Yeah. And it's okay. That's my money.

25:22Shannon Sharpe:I don't get how people, people always want, but it's easy to spend other people's money. Yeah, always easy when you have money. That's the easiest thing. Everybody, Joe, you done had it. Oh, Joe, you know, we've had it. Somebody said, man, if I had that money, I'll open up me a car wash. I'll open up me a barbershop. I'll open up me a this or that. Well, go ahead. Right. You got a million ideas what to do with my money. Hello.

25:52Shannon Sharpe:I don't get it. I think the thing is if Savannah wanted to be kind and did it, that's fine. She doesn't. I don't know. My brother had money. My brother didn't fly me no damn first class now that I think about it.

26:12Shannon Sharpe:That man had me a coach.

26:14Chad Johnson:Hey, I'm like, you know, I respect April, though. I respect a friend because she knows, she knows her lane, bro. And she ain't going outside of that. And a lot of times you don't get, you don't get friends. They don't understand that part, bro. So. And everybody feel entitled, especially if you have money, Uncle Joe. They all do. I'm talking about everybody. Not that there were a few that had some sense, but outside of that, oh, they got it. Oh, what's it? But you can't, it's impossible to spend over a billion. There'd never be, I mean, like, like just. What does that have to do with you?

26:50Shannon Sharpe:What does that have to do with the friend? What does that have to do with you? That's all. That's my thing. Just because I have it, you feel obligated. You feel entitled that I got to give it to you because I got it. Yeah. that's that's the way yeah that's the way everybody think and now we have nobody you know what i am so glad that my brother and sister they don't my brother and sister don't my friend family and friends don't don't don't act like that i offered to buy my sister a car two years ago she's like shannon what's wrong with this kia but yeah my sister got a kia yeah she don't want nothing else she She said, Shannon, what do I need?

27:34Shannon Sharpe:Something better than this, a high-value car, an escalator, something, right here in Glenville.

27:40Chad Johnson:She trying to get from point A to point B.

27:42Shannon Sharpe:Point A to point B. She said, Shannon, it get me to church. It get me, if I got to go to Savannah to pick up something, if I got to go to Hinesville to pick up something, or go to Costco or Sam's Club, I can do that. I don't need no$100 ,000 car to do that.

27:58Chad Johnson:But then, you know, everybody don't think like that. They think, hey, hey, hey, hey, my, my, my family member has XYZ. Hell, I feel like I should be driving XYZ. You feel what I'm saying? Everybody don't think like that, bro. They don't. They don't, guys. They don't. Yeah, it takes a different individual, bro. Like, you have to be selfless to think like that.

28:19Shannon Sharpe:Yes. You really do. You really do. And I think that's the way we've brought up. Because like I said, my grandmother, man, we had to sneak out the house. Joe had to have my uncle come take a fishing to get a refrigerator, wash and dry. She's like, that's them boys' money. Huh? The washer wouldn't spin, because you know the washer would spin, spin all the water out. You got to dip the water out. Dinner would spin. The refrigerator wouldn't come stuffed hot. But that's the way she was. We've always, I would like that. I'm like, my brother got money, I got money. He just wouldn't fly me no first class.

29:00Shannon Sharpe:Hey, man, I had about two or three pair of the Bo Jackson cross-chainers. Man, I had I-Va, Levi's, Polo. Man, I had it all. You talking about the black and gray? I had the orange and blue. Yeah, the orange one. Yeah. The white with the orange. Yes. The thing was nice, boy. Yes. Yes. He's like, man, I don't even dress like that. I say, too bad for you. I do.

29:27Shannon Sharpe:Man, he come down to the United States and say, man, this is where my money be I said, hey, you should be, I ain't wasted it. I'll be sharp too, man.

29:35Chad Johnson:I couldn't, hey, hey, hey, I couldn't imagine being in college and my brother played in the pros. Well, I'd been cutting up. I'd have been cutting up, Ocho. I'd have been cutting up.

29:46Shannon Sharpe:What?

29:47Chad Johnson:That would have been dope.

29:49Shannon Sharpe:Oh, man, oh, I was nice. Hey, oh, hey, you talking about the cars? Man, I have a Porsche one weekend, Tycoon one weekend, Mercedes one weekend. get another Porsche. Ah, big body Mercedes. Ah, yeah, Joe. Ah, man, I was living the life.

30:07Chad Johnson:Damn. You wonder why that girl pulled that piss out on you. No, no, no, no, no, no.

30:15Shannon Sharpe:Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, I was in the league then when she pulled the strap out. I was in the league. I was in the league. No, but look, I used to bring, I used to bring my homeboys to Denver. Yeah. They fly first class. I mean, they didn't fly first class. They flew coach. They were just happy to come. Right. And then when I was close, that's one thing about Bucket. If I was close, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Atlanta. Oh, he put in his cover. Yeah. He's driving. Yeah. Getting on that road. Yeah, absolutely.

30:59Shannon Sharpe:Absolutely. But he is. People are crazy. It's the time we live in. It is, bro. Now it's time to play a fade presented by Prize Picks.

31:24Shannon Sharpe:All right. We got to combine Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson. Combine 400.5 yards. The two of them together will throw for more than 405 yards. More or less, Ocho and Joe. That's a good one, boy.

31:43Chad Johnson:Damn.

31:48They can only go one or two ways.

31:50Chad Johnson:Because I feel like Cleveland, they'll sneak up and have a hell of a defensive performance. Yes. And then A-Rod ain't going to look like A-Rod last week. And then, you know, that's the only thing. Hell, I'm thinking about Deshaun Watson. The man threw for 144 last week.

32:06Shannon Sharpe:It ain't like he threw for 200, Joe.

32:08Chad Johnson:Right. I know. I know. I know. It's all a little shaky, boy.

32:16Chad Johnson:I don't know. I'm rolling whatever you or Ocho say on this one. What you want, Ocho? More or less. You know what? I'm going to have to go with more. I'm going to have to go with more. I have a feeling Rodgers is going to be dealing and wheeling. And Deshaun will have to deal and wheel as well. I think it's going to be a close game. I was hoping you didn't say more. Why?

32:45Shannon Sharpe:I just, man, my feelings tell less. I can't tell you, every time y 'all go against me,

32:54Chad Johnson:every time y 'all go against me, you notice I always win. Hey, I'm going less, cause last couple times I done win with Ocho, hell nah, I'm going less, I'm telling you now. When you win with me?

33:03Shannon Sharpe:Cause we supposed to win less, Jonathan Taylor, and we the one, we the one. I'm going less. $800. I'm going less. Last week, you said Jonathan Taylor was gonna score against Texas. Well, Jonathan Taylor ain't score, ain't got nothing to do with me yeah you said it we went with you hey at what point do we say jonathan taylor's not gonna score well he just go last week and we should have went with that oh my goodness so 200.

33:38nah bro all right y 'all don't want hey y 'all go ahead do it your way then don't listen to me What you think, Joe?

33:45Chad Johnson:Chat saying less, man. Chat saying less. All right, chat. You listen to the chat? Yeah. So you think the chat no ball like me? I think they got a good damn clue. Hey, Joe. I'm going with chat. Ain't nobody in our chat right now. Matter of fact, nobody in the history of our chat room can cover me, Joe. So what did that tell you? I think I can cover you. Hey, you heard the key word you said? Think. They thought they could cover me on Sundays, too. I can cover you on, Joe. I'm telling you. It's different over here. I'm just going to let you know. Oh, Joe, man. Go ahead, man.

34:26Shannon Sharpe:So that means Aaron Rodgers will have at least 220. And what's up? 200. And Deshaun will have at least 200. 220 and then 180.

34:37Chad Johnson:That's what you're thinking?

34:39Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I'm trying to weigh it out because I don't think both of them guys are going to be like 250. I don't either. That's what I'm saying. I don't either. I think, you know what, I think 240 and 160. Let's go more. Let's go more. We go more. For which one? The two punters will combine for more or less than 10 punts.

34:58Chad Johnson:Damn.

35:03Chad Johnson:Yeah, it's probably be a – that's why I talk about the 400.

35:07Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I think it's going to be – I'm with you, Joe.

35:09Chad Johnson:I think it might be a punt best. A defensive game. That's what I'm saying, bro. I think it's going to be a defensive game.

35:16Shannon Sharpe:All right, we're going to go less. Okay, we're going to go less on Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson. We're going to go less on the 400, more on the punts.

35:24Chad Johnson:All right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

35:26Shannon Sharpe:D.K. Metcalf and Harold Fanny Jr., anytime touchdown,.5. Will one of those guys have a touchdown? I got Harold Fanny. Yeah, yeah. I got a fan in the scope. Joe, you really need to have a fan in two-score because that's your tight end.

35:45Chad Johnson:Yeah, I got to put it. I got to make sure he's in the lineup because likely he's been in. He was in last, but I got to get him in there.

35:50Shannon Sharpe:Well, you better get him in there for tomorrow. Yeah, don't worry about it. I'm doing a rent now. Jalen Warren and Quichon Junkins, more or less than 128.5 combined rush yards.

36:02Chad Johnson:Ooh, that boy Jalen Warren was running that thing last week now. Yeah. That boy was getting down Junkins. I like Jenkins too. I'm going more. You saying combine? 120? Yes. I'm going more. Okay. I'm going, hey, listen. Y 'all ain't listening to me today, so whatever y 'all choose, I'm going with y 'all.

42:11Shannon Sharpe:when it came out that we were going to do the sit down and do the interview and today you know being in the chat and seeing people talk about it man I was like bro I was like damn people like man I watched watch this every day it was must watch TV and then everybody talk about the chemistry that we had right it was it was it was amazing it was a great seven-year run but I think in order for us to have this, it had to end. Ocho, come on, man. You're my football rep, and you're not addressing the Man City cheating scandal. Need you to cook them now that they have been exposed. The who cheating? The Man City.

42:55Shannon Sharpe:Oh, oh, oh. They found guilty on all counts. What do you mean? What happened? I mean, just over the years, I think wages, I don't know how to explain it the right way, But I got to do my homework on it. You got to think, hey, Joe, Uncle Joe, I've been on the road. I left when this came out. I left Miami this morning at 6 a.m. I flew to New York today. I flew right back to Miami to make sure I got home for NICAP. So I ain't been able to, you know, look at all that stuff. I saw the reports on it, though. NICAP, Tank says he's willing to go up to 144. Is the fight? No. No, just catch weight. Anyway, Tank says he's willing to go up to 144.

43:40Shannon Sharpe:Is there a fight to be had? Also, thoughts on the Fury Joshua bout. ISO, them quiet ones. ISO number one, them quiet ones. Damn. I told you. I told you. 147. 147. Deebo is at 147. Ryan Garcia. I don't understand, Ocho. Why was he willing to fight Conor Benn at 147, but doesn't want to fight Deebo or Ryan Garcia at 147. Explain that to me. You're the best boxing aficionado. Hey, you know what? I have no idea. They, as fighters, they have their certain reasons on why they want to do certain things at certain weight class. I mean, at certain weights in general. I don't know. I don't know. But they do need to fix it.

44:26They need to define a common ground, you know, because these are fights that everybody wants to see. everybody wants to see these good fights and there's too much back and forth there's too much arguing and he say this she said that and come on man let's just get it let's find a way that we're comfortable we're both comfortable at and get in there I want to fight for belts

44:52Shannon Sharpe:there ain't no belts at 144 you either fight at 40 or you fight at 47

44:58Chad Johnson:I think I think Tank will go up I think he want to get a love tune-up in. That's probably why he gonna fight Conor Ben before he jump out there and there. You know what I mean?

45:08Shannon Sharpe:No, Tank. But Tank ain't fought in the... Ocho, when's the last time Tank fought? Hell, it's been a minute. It's been a minute. I wouldn't... Was it Roach? Yeah, Lamar Roach. Yep. You're right. You're right, Joe. Hell, that been damn near two years ago, ain't it, Ocho? Yeah, he gotta have a tune-up fight before he come back. Yeah. Hold on. So he wanna... Hold on. So he wanna fight... I'm trying to figure out... He said he'll fight Who does he want to fight? Does he want to fight Ryan Garcia at 144? Right. Ryan says he's not going back down. Ryan says he's done with the weight. He said come see him at 144.

45:42Shannon Sharpe:Because Ryan is the guy. No matter what you think about Ryan Garcia, that Joker fought. He fought Tank. He fought Debo. He fought Roley. He fight. Yeah. He will fight. Yeah. he ain't got no stipulation big guy want to fight you can fight I'll fight at 144 and then you can't gain more than 10 pounds Ryan get in there and go he don't care who it is that's it and I told him I said bro if I was you I'm the A side I ain't fighting no more catch weights you just see me at 47 eventually he want to go to 54 I don't know how seriously he was about going to 54 how soon he would be willing to go to 54 Hey, don't do that.

46:34Shannon Sharpe:Because he talking about he want boots. I said, man, you need to leave that alone. Who want boots? That's what Ryan said he want boots. He said, first he want to unify. He want to unify 47. Hey, man, listen.

46:49Chad Johnson:So that's going to take a, for him to unify, would that take a rematch with Tank?

46:55Shannon Sharpe:No, Tank's at 40. That'd be Deebo. Deebo and whoever got the, uh, uh,

47:04Shannon Sharpe:Who else got the belt at 47, Ocho? I know Debo got one of the belts. And what you call him just took the belt off of... Hold on. I have to look that up. I don't know offhand.

47:17Chad Johnson:Didn't... I can't remember his name neither. He just took the belt off of Roley.

47:26Shannon Sharpe:Tio Fimo. Tio. Tio Fimo.

47:39Shannon Sharpe:who got the belts uh ryan got the wbc belt right hey tio tia fomo and jack cadarol i think they're fighting for the wba ryan garcia has wbc liam parro has ibf and davin devin haney has the wbo yeah that's too many you can't unify that unless those guys fight and somebody got the belt, that's how you go, it's too many people got too many different belts. Yeah. Because normally when you unified Ocho, somebody had three belts, somebody had two. We fight, now I got five belts, so they got five belts. But when you got, somebody got the IVFs, somebody got the WBOs, somebody got the WBN, somebody got the WBC, somebody got the Ring Magazine, that's too many.

48:27Shannon Sharpe:Hell, it'd take you three years to unify all them damn belts.

48:35Shannon Sharpe:Who you got, Fury or Joshua? Whoa, that's a good one.

48:42Chad Johnson:Man, you know what - Joshua Chen's real suspect, guys. That boy, I'm finna say, every time I count Fury out, boy. He been knocked down so many times. Yeah, man. Fury can box. I don't know what you're talking about. To be the big boy, he can box, boy. Damn. Damn, oh.

49:01Chad Johnson:I think I'm going Fury, bro. Who you like, Ocho?

49:08Shannon Sharpe:Oof.

49:13That's tough, man.

49:15Shannon Sharpe:I hate it because damn, we can't get no good heavyweights over here in the States. We got damn many all the heavyweights. Usyk's over there, Fury's over there, Joshua's over there. You know what, I'm gonna go Fury. Yeah, I like Fury myself. Yeah, I'm going to go Fury.

49:32Shannon Sharpe:What was the one takeaway from Skip interview? Would he ever make a cameo on Nightcap? Him and Ocho going back and forth in this format would be epic.

49:43Chad Johnson:What did I take away?

49:46Shannon Sharpe:I took away he's very nostalgic. Reminisced a lot. sometimes you don't realize how good something is and you don't miss it until it's gone. Skip is very rude. Skip liked doing the same thing over and over, kind of like I did. Yes. And that's kind of why we got along so well because we're more similar than we are not. Getting up every day, getting ready to go do night, do Undisputed for two and a half hours, he missed that. Yeah. He missed that a lot. And, you know, sometimes you don't, you know, I think we kind of both took for granted what each other brought to the table. And then when you sit back, and like I said, I had to sit back and I see clips from time to time, and I'm like, damn, that was a good time.

50:35Shannon Sharpe:That was a good time back then.

50:43Shannon Sharpe:Skipping the beer.

50:49Shannon Sharpe:Come on, my Panthers only got one Sunday night game all season. Y 'all want to take that from us? Yep. Damn. Hey, Panthers balling, boy. Offensively. Yep, J.C. Horn. They got a bunch of guys hurt. J.C. Horn and Mike Jackson hurt. And what you call them? Coker. Jalen Coker hurt too? Yep. Oh, that injury bug, man. Woo. Big three was good. Date, marry. Date three, marry three, slide three. To the homies and all their prime. Halle Berry, Jada Pinkett, Paula Abdul, Megan Good, Neal Long, Regina Hall, J-Lo, Angelina Jolie, Selma Hyatt. Come on, man. In their prime? In their prime. Hey, man. Well, you seen Selma Hayek in Once Upon a Time in Mexico?

51:57Yep.

51:58Shannon Sharpe:Man, stop playing. I gotta get, you know, hey, y 'all done beat me up, so I gotta go Neal Long marry, Regina Hall marry, Selma Hayek marry. I would date.

52:19Chad Johnson:Hey, you might get some phone calls after this. Yeah, ain't with no phone calls. Hey, you know - Make it good. Hey Joe, you see I ain't say nothing.

52:27Shannon Sharpe:Nah, I'm just saying, hey, the man don't pay, that got the answer now. Nah, I ain't fooling with J-Lo, I'm leaving J-Lo, I'm leaving Angelina Jolie. Hey, you ain't messing with J-Lo. No, I'm good.

52:46Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I done made it abundantly clear how I feel about Regina Hall. So that ain't no secret. That ain't even no secret.

52:54Chad Johnson:But you can mess around and speak something into existence. No, I ain't speaking nothing into existence. I'm good. I believe people where they are.

53:01Shannon Sharpe:You're right. You're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. Yeah, for sure. Okay, okay. Just make a show. Man, but I ain't fooling with J-Lo, man. J-Lo ain't serious about no relationship. Hey, but Regina Hall is tough though, boy.

53:16Chad Johnson:Tougher than wet leather. So, hey, tough as alligator meat, you hear me? Hey, hey, Joe. Hey, hey, Joe. That'd be a good old look for Unk too, boy, on his hip, boy. Who? Huh? I was talking to Joe.

53:31Shannon Sharpe:There y 'all go. Y 'all love some bullies down there. I'm just saying. What's up, Ugg? All right, so King Ocho, today is my 33rd birthday. Love what y 'all doing. It's up from here. Appreciate it. Happy 33rd birthday, bro. Deontay underscore Betts. Happy 33rd, my boy. Happy 33rd. Happy 33rd. Happy OJ Simpson, my boy. OJ was 32. Oh, my bad. Will Atlanta Falcons have another game like they did Thursday or was that a one-time occurrence? I mean, bro, I mean, you got a running back run for 194, a wide receiver catch for 194. Bro, that don't happen very often now. Sure don't. It especially don't happen when you have a situation where quarterback situation is a merry-go-round.

54:24Chad Johnson:Hey, it can happen, though. It might get spread out. The stats may get spread out across, you know, more of the team. but to have two guys explode like that from special position, that don't happen like that. Hold on. The Falcons playing the Saints this week, huh? Yes. Hey, boy. What? They ain't going to be lit. You know what I think I'm going to be able to do? What's that? I'm going to probably win a Nobel Peace Prize. How? For what? I'm going to be the first person to ever get Saints fans and Falcons fans to sit in unison and love each other. No, that ain't happening, bro. You hear me? they're going to love each other.

55:02We're going to sit together as one, bicker and banter during the games, and show love after.

55:11Shannon Sharpe:No, you can forget that. Even an Ocho ISO question, do you think OBJ or Cheetah would be a good fit for the Steelers?

55:24Chad Johnson:Yeah, they could probably need they could use some help at the receiving position. The Steelers. Odella catch that thing. Who? Odella catch that thing. You know, one of the things that Aaron Rodgers is complaining about, too many drops, all the drops.

55:41Shannon Sharpe:But it's just, Ocho, now I got to get caught up in speed of a new offense. Yeah.

55:50Chad Johnson:Yeah, that's challenging.

55:54Shannon Sharpe:Which quarterback has regressed more, Herbert or May? Both. Offense being equal, I think Herbert has played bad, but May has looked god-awful. So, hey, is it what, the less of the two evils? Yeah, man. It's like, which is heavier, a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers? They weigh the same. Yeah.

56:19Shannon Sharpe:I mean, May has looked bad. I mean, six picks in three games with two fumbles? Yeah, that's bad, boy. he on that he on that he on that james pace ocho 30 for 30 yeah that's tough

56:42Shannon Sharpe:damn happy wife happy life happy man god's plan big mike that's what they say hey they say happy life, happy wife, happy life. Ain't talking, talking, talking, talking stuff, boy.

57:00Shannon Sharpe:What a great podcast with you and Skip. Please, please bring him on Nightcap one time. We'll see if we can work that out, fellas.

57:11Shannon Sharpe:Ocho. This question is for Ocho. Ocho, why do you give Cam Ward grace, but not JJ? aren't they both displaying poor play?

57:29Chad Johnson:I have a question. Yes. Does he not see or understand the level of talent, elite talent, that JJ has at his disposal? Are we forgetting that? You see the difference?

57:51Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I don't think people understand. Like, really quick, I don't think people understand how good Justin Jefferson is. This is an all-time great already, and he's still actively playing. Yeah. He makes your job much easier as a quarterback. You have Jordan Addison, who's the solid number two. On some teams, he'd probably be a number one. Mm-hmm. You have a running back in Aaron Jones, right, who would take some of the pressure off of you. when things aren't going well. Then you have a tight end who's a great security blanket when things aren't going well and you need somewhere to go with the ball, and you know you can count on him?

58:28In Hockinson. That's why I give the grace that I do give because of the situational difference and understanding that Cam Ward has to play eyes and ears above his talent level because he doesn't have the supporting cast that J.J. McCarthy has in Minnesota.

58:49Shannon Sharpe:He meant head and shoulders. Head and shoulders, my bad. What'd I say? What'd I say, huh? Eyes and ears. Oh, my bad. Yeah, head and shoulders. Hey, Joe, I just be making up shit the long way, huh?

59:03Chad Johnson:It's getting late. It's getting late. I know. You get what you get. My bad.

59:08Shannon Sharpe:Braylon says, I got me something nice about to come over. That don't make me no bad brother if I eat the buns, do it? What? It don't. Come on, Braylon.

59:17Chad Johnson:Come on. Matter of fact, soon as they walk through the door. Soon as they walk through the door, put them in the choke hole. Come here, come here. Where you been? Huh?

59:32Be aggressive. Take it back of the neck. Boom, boom. Fold them down like a lawn chair. Unbutton that thing for the back. Put it right down.

59:42Chad Johnson:You gotta be aggressive. Hey Braylon, you listen to Ocho, they got a place for you now. They got a place for you. They got a place for you, Braylon. You listen to Ocho, they got a place for you. I promise you. Hey, listen to me, Braylon. Remember Winnie the Pooh? Remember the show Winnie the Pooh? If you haven't watched it, watch how Tiger, Tigger. Watch how Tigger always pounce on Pooh. That's how I want you to do it as soon as you walk in. You hit me. They got a place for you, Braylon. Don't listen to that man, bro. Listen to me, boy. All right. As a matter of fact, before you get there, put a peppermint in your mouth.

1:00:18You hear me? Put a peppermint in your mouth before you get there and it get a little tingling sensation. Listen to me, boy. Yes, sir.

1:00:30Shannon Sharpe:Man, I want you to try to fold him down, Joe, like a shotgun. You hear me? Hey, I know a thing or two. Fold him like a double barrel, Joe. He just can't help himself, though. He can't help himself. He can't, he can't. I know a thing or two, that's all. Yeah, all right. Skip Club Shay Shay interview was good. Definitely cool to see you guys back together. Who would win a three on three debate? Prime Unc, Skip and Stephen A versus number one freak Shay, Ocho Frico, and slick, quiet, sleepy Joe. Hold on, they saying us three against who? Me, Skip and Stephen A.

1:01:11Chad Johnson:Damn, boy.

1:01:13Shannon Sharpe:I have to get y 'all caught up on the debate format, the rules.

1:01:17Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Honestly, I'm probably gonna win. Hey, they got some years under they belt, boy. Shh. What? It depends on the topic. True.

1:01:31Shannon Sharpe:Topics have a lot to do with it. And then how passionate are you about said topic?

1:01:38Chad Johnson:Right.

1:01:38Shannon Sharpe:See, the thing that made Skip and I, that we were very, very passionate about every topic. It was never a situation where we're going to discuss something. Well, you know what? Since you want to take that point, I'll take this point. Right. Mm-mm. You got to be passionate about it. Yeah. And we were very, very passionate. That's why sometimes it spilled over. Because he wasn't giving an inch. I wasn't giving an inch. And we were very, very passionate about the topic. That's why people confuse, man, you don't like said individual. Nah, we just passionate about the topics. There ain't no dislike or dislike.

1:02:12Right.

1:02:12Shannon Sharpe:We don't know enough about, I don't know enough about a person to like or dislike. But I can like or, but I can debate a point.

1:02:20Chad Johnson:Right. Right.

1:02:25Shannon Sharpe:Can you bring Skip on every Monday for about 30 minutes? The culture missed y 'all. It's my turn.

1:02:33Shannon Sharpe:What's up, big three? Happy birthday to my wife, Lupita, a nightcap listener against her will. She hears every episode in the bed next to me. Show her love. Lupita, thank you for watching. What up, Lupita? What up, twin? Yeah, man. We appreciate that. Charlie, thank you for getting wifey involved. Thank you. We love when our women fans listen with their hubby, boyfriend, or they just listen by themselves. They be trying to sneak game. That's what they be trying to do. What up, nightcap? Yep, I believe the last time the Titans were good was 2020 season when they stunned the Patriots, beat the Ravens, and lost to Kansas City.

1:03:12Yeah.

1:03:12Chad Johnson:That was in the playoffs.

1:03:14Shannon Sharpe:Yep. Yep. They went to the AFC championship game.

1:03:17Chad Johnson:Who was the quarterback then? Tannehill? Tannehill. Yeah.

1:03:21Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

1:03:22Chad Johnson:They had a nice little run.

1:03:24Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And they jumped out. Remember, they jumped out on Tennessee 10-0. I mean, on the Patriots 10-0. after Houston had jumped out on the week before, 24-0. Yeah. And then they scored like 41 straight on Tennessee. Woo. So much for the league's best record. It doesn't mean ish. Liberty swept them. Yankees just swept the bums. New York or nowhere. Hold on. I'm shocked. Minnesota got beat by the Liberty. They got swept? Got swept. because it's only the best of three in the first round. And then I think they go best of five and then best of seven.

1:04:03Chad Johnson:Damn. I watched the Atlanta Dream play today. They ain't playing. They kicking butt. They moving on to the next round. Yeah, they got a great chance. But I didn't know Minnesota got swept, bro. Got swept. Damn.

1:04:17Shannon Sharpe:What you call it was not herself. The spectacle wasn't very good in the series. She had a calf injury, Joe.

1:04:24Chad Johnson:Olivia Miles? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Hey, man, that's all it takes, bro. One little knick-knack. I'm talking about it, especially in the postseason. Changes everything, Joe. It'll change the whole series, bro.

1:04:36Shannon Sharpe:Absolutely.

1:04:37Chad Johnson:Damn.

1:04:45Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, when was the last time you wore a gold grill? You know what? Oh, that's a good one. I ain't had my goals in a minute. You know where they are? hell nah and plus you done got some new teeth now they don't fit yeah they won't fit matter of fact I should do it again get 16 and 16

1:05:06Chad Johnson:you had 16 at the top 16 at the bottom nah I had 8 pack oh I'm gonna get something for the show you know they don't even cost that much get 16 come on the show grilled up

1:05:21Shannon Sharpe:what if I get me some diamond grills nah

1:05:24Chad Johnson:Yeah, get the bottom. Just get the bottom, though. Don't get the top. Get the back, the molars. No. The back? Yeah, you know, everybody get them in the back.

1:05:37Chad Johnson:No, get the bottom grill, bro. Get your bottom gold, John. Nah, go top and bottom all gold. I'm going to come on here. You ain't going to be able to see nothing but gold, boy.

1:05:51Shannon Sharpe:They say, with Dijon Love out for the season, My 49ers need Reek. That's a good one.

1:06:02He not out yet?

1:06:04Chad Johnson:Nah, man. They probably ain't giving no bond, huh? Hell no. Damn.

1:06:16Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, I need you to give the Raiders a boost in Madden. N 'Kobe Dean, 78. No star is crazy. Many others are way too low now. Oh, he balling. He balling for the Raiders. He got a whole team balling, boy. It's amazing. Amazing how well they playing. Up, listen to Ocho for once since you didn't listen to him about the Knicks and Jalen Brunson. Reek the Green Bay. Go, Pat, go. Huh? Huh? Am I ever wrong? No.

1:06:52Shannon Sharpe:Hey, fellas, Can you shout out my graduating class? We're having our 20-year reunion in Tuscaloosa County High School. Got me some LaPortier to celebrate. Happy 20th anniversary, Ken. Yes, sir. 20. We celebrated. Well, I don't know if they had it or not. It was our 40th high school anniversary. Class reunion. You didn't go to it? I don't think they had it, Joe. You know what I'm saying? Did you ever go to any of your high school reunions? I went to 10. You go to any? I went to 10. I missed 15, 20, 25, and 30. Yeah, and as a matter of fact, my high school reunion is November 7th. I'm going to try.

1:07:29I'm going to get back in time. I might be a little late, but I promised T.O. I'm going to go down to Tennessee Chattanooga where he went to college. And I'm going to go to their homecoming. Then I'm going to rush back to my high school reunion. It'll be 30 years, Joe.

1:07:44Chad Johnson:Damn. A 30-year high school reunion on Miami Beach. Yeah, I went to my 10th, but I hadn't been since. I always got something to do here because it's during like a weekend, so I'll always be tied up.

1:08:00Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah.

1:08:02Chad Johnson:I can't wait.

1:08:03Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, because I was always doing, you know, they have it like, instead of having it in the summer when I'm off, they have it in the fall. I can't miss no work to go to school. Right. What's up, Frico Cinco, and still King Iso question, will Skip ever make an appearance on Nightcap? I miss those undisputed debates. Love y 'all. I mean, we don't really have a whole lot of debates on here. We have discussions, but we don't really, like, the topics aren't really set up for that. Yeah. I wish there was, you know, a way we could debate some topics. I like debating. What's up, Nightcap? The question is, is Patrick Mahomes' fault organization has no patience for quarterback development or is something else?

1:08:50Shannon Sharpe:Because I remember the Manning, Breed, Big Ben, all struggled and ended up with Super Bowl wins. Well, you got to realize, Mahomes didn't start his rookie year. He didn't play one game. He started the last game of the season in Denver. Yeah, Alex Smith started. Yep, Alex Smith started.

1:09:12Shannon Sharpe:So, no, Big Ben, they played to their defense. You got to realize, Big Ben won 15 games as a rookie. Lost in the championship game, then came back the second year and won it. But yes, I think when you have guys like, you saw Andrew Luck go to the playoffs as a rookie. Did he make the playoffs? No, RG3 made the playoffs. You see Jaden Daniels make the playoffs. You see these quarterbacks, and they play really well. Every other organization thinks their quarterback should play just don't realize his scheme, don't realize his coaching. There are a lot of factors that go into how well a rookie plays.

1:09:49Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Right.

1:09:53Shannon Sharpe:What's up, Nightcap? Sorry, Unc, but you're 1, 2, and 3. Freak Oseko can't keep his tongue to himself, and Joe is the booty bandit. Damn, Joe. That's what they say? Yeah. Hey, finally, people done figured it out.

1:10:09Chad Johnson:Yep. About time. Man, hold on. The man that called, oh, one, two, and three.

1:10:15Shannon Sharpe:Yep. And you mean, what you mean they done figured it out? They say, oh, Freako, say Freako Seco can't keep his tongue in his mouth.

1:10:22Chad Johnson:And Joe, the booty bandit. Man called me the booty bandit. Come on, man. Come on, bro. Come on, man. Come on, what we doing? I told him it'd be the choir.

1:11:17Chad Johnson:I'm gonna let you talk. Y 'all gonna be fighting for second place on that one because we already know who coming in first. I'm gonna let you talk, Joe. Yeah. Just like you said about them Cowboys. They were coming in first. Long season.

1:11:34Shannon Sharpe:Shan, Chad, Joe, hope you all had a terrific day. Will you guys cover the W? There's been some good games already to play out. Yes, we are going to cover the W. We just happened to be off last night. Kaitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell went off to force a game three in Las Vegas against the Aces. Atlanta swept the Mystics. Minnesota got swept I don't know what happened the wings and the backer was overtime they playing

1:12:07Chad Johnson:they playing right they were playing right when we started so I don't know

1:12:11Shannon Sharpe:they were in overtime Joe huh Dallas won okay they were in overtime they were I saw it was like two minutes to go and it was 98-98 oh yeah

1:12:23Chad Johnson:nah they got some good games going on

1:12:25Shannon Sharpe:oh yeah yeah Cowboys defense Lance has a hope in crisis. Hopeless. They got all the pieces, but would you let the learners permit drive a Lambo or an experienced driver?
