12:46Shannon Sharpe:It feels like it, don't it? We've been on here a little minute, Joe.

12:50Chad Johnson:Almost two.

12:53Shannon Sharpe:Before we get started in our super chat, we got some videos from our Discord. Let's take a listen. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. Nightcap Big 3, what's good with y 'all, man? My name's Isaiah calling from Northern California. Man, I just want to give y 'all y 'all flowers, you know, 2 million subscribers. I done made a lot of burner accounts over the last month, but, hey, we did it. I'm willing to serve whatever suspension YouTube throws my way. I did wrong so Nightcap can, you know, be right. You know, but hey, Victor Wembenyama, defensive player of the year is a lock. Stephon Castle, first team all defense is a lock.

13:28Shannon Sharpe:I don't want to sound like a greedy Spurs fan, but can y 'all see Kelton Johnson maybe winning sixth man? Maybe Julian Champagne making that second team all defensive team. Let me know something. Win VP, win VP, win VP, and go Spurs, go.

13:46Chad Johnson:Now, Wembeny may win defensive player of the year. but the Alexander Nicholas Alexander for the Atlanta Hawks he's man of the year bro now he's star he winning most improved yeah he winning most improved

14:01Shannon Sharpe:I thought Preyton Pritchett could win 6th man of the year but that scene probably started too many games

14:05Chad Johnson:oh cause he did start a couple games yeah yeah

14:11Shannon Sharpe:but Castle definitely should be on the first team all defense

14:13Chad Johnson:yeah he gonna be on the first team

14:14Shannon Sharpe:but Pennant, Pennant, Pennant ain't hey Castle the one with the dreads on Yeah. He eating ice. Yeah. He was rookie of the year last year.

14:24Chad Johnson:Yeah. I ain't going to lie, though. They all – all them dudes defend, though.

14:29Shannon Sharpe:All of them are digging. I ain't going to lie. They all defend.

14:31Chad Johnson:They all defend. They all play at a high level. And when you got Wemmey back there – Six men?

14:38Shannon Sharpe:They say Keldon Johnson does have the best odds to win. Who's he in front of? I think Walker's team. Hawkins Jr. And Reed Shepard. Reed Shepard. Oh, so Peyton Pritchard ain't in it?

14:51Chad Johnson:Nope.

14:52Shannon Sharpe:He wasn't starting too many games. Man, what's Kelton Johnson averaging? Probably about 15. Because it's him. The best odds is him, Hawkeyes, and Reed Shepard from Houston.

15:07Chad Johnson:Yeah, he'll probably win it then. Kelton probably win it. They playing great ball, too. You get rewarded for winning, too. You do.

15:15Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And you should. You should. Here's our second one. Let's take a listen. What's up, Ocho? What's up, Ice-O? First of all, Ice-O, one of the greatest basketball players I've seen, Ocho. Best feet in the game. Should be in the Hall of Fame. Ocho, you are the greatest tight end to ever play the game. I know you like to defer to Gronk and Kelsey all the time, but you revolutionized the game, my boy. You made the tight end position exciting to watch. and I only watch the different broadcasts because of you because you see where I'm at. But anyway, congratulations on two million and I'll be here for three million.

15:57Shannon Sharpe:And once again, oh, you are the GOAT. You are the greatest. Go ahead on and embrace it and let the world know that you are the GOAT. That's what's up. Appreciate that, man. That's what's up. Two million, I mean. They were excited as we were to get two million, man. You know, people, you know, two million and organically and we really appreciate that because none of this is what we've been able to do is possible without you guys. So thank you guys again. And here's our third and final one. Let's take a listen. What's up, Nightcap family? Javon Brooks here. Want to give a question to Joe. Man, Joe, around 2007, 2008, used to always do a charity event in the city of Atlanta.

16:35Shannon Sharpe:And one year you did a charity event at the Bowman Alley. Not sure if you remember, but you did it for all the members in the Boys and Girls Club. And I was one of those members, right? and I want to know what made you do that because when you threw that event you didn't have no cameras, no media, no security. It was literally just you bro. You just showed the most love ever and you didn't know this but by you doing that event bro that inspired me to do the same thing in my community bro so I want to just say thank you but again what made you want to do that bro? Because you didn't have to do that and Ocho shout out to you brother.

17:09Shannon Sharpe:You already know what time it is but yeah peace out.

17:15Chad Johnson:for me, man, I grew up in a boys and girls club. My mother, my mother worked at the boys and girls club. So I was in there all day. From the time we opened up to the time it closed, Thrasher boys and girls club in Little Rock, Arkansas. Man, that's where I, that's, that's where I learned how to play. That's where I learned how to compete. I mean, that was everything for me. So when I got a chance to really pay it, pay it back. Yeah, I always want the Boys and Girls Club to come out, and I always want to do an event like that. So, yeah, I should do an event every year, man. We should have a lot of fun with it.

17:54Chad Johnson:Might even bring it back.

17:56Shannon Sharpe:That's dope. It's always great when you give back.

17:59Chad Johnson:Man.

29:22and that that's about it that's about that's about it you haven't seen CB live Chris Brown No. I've seen him live. The kids have, but I know what I get when you go see CB. It would be no different than going to see Beyonce. It would be no different than going to see Bruno Mars. You know what you get when you go to see those type of individuals that have that kind of stage presence and command the crowd at all times. I know what I'm getting.

29:48Chad Johnson:Hey, listen. I've seen CB. I've seen Drake. I'm going to tell you how somebody else I've seen who put on a show. that dang on R. Kelly, man.

Normally I go at like 5 in the morning, so I give myself time to recover. Yeah, get some fluids back in you. Man, I went at 2 o 'clock in the evening, had to go straight to the arena And when I left there, I'm talking about I was depleted. You hear me? I'm talking about it's like I couldn't get out of first gear. Man, I finished the game with four points.

58:20Chad Johnson:And we lost. We lost. I was ass trashed. If I could get that game back, boy. Why you go that late? Because, man, I had my lady in town. She had her friend. You know, it's playoffs. I'm trying to. And so I got up late. So I'm like, man, I'm going to catch this 2 o 'clock. I'll be all right. Right. When I got in the game, I felt like I was stuck in first gear. I couldn't even move.

58:43Shannon Sharpe:And Ocho, what do coaches always tell us? After Friday practice, get off your feet. Get off your feet. Yep, right away. What about your stomach or your back?
