Nightcap Hour 3: Michael Beasley CALLS OUT Iso Joe + Play or Fade + Q & AYYY

14:35Shannon Sharpe:Nah, Joe. You ever had that? No. I've wore glasses. I don't want nobody to mess with my eyes. I do the glasses. I do the glasses. Don't be messing with the eyes, man. You know what I don't like? That can't be replaced. Look, the hips, I won't take my original part. The hips, okay, fine. But the eye? You done more contacts before? No, I can't have nothing on my eye. Yeah, okay. My eyes just be watery. These glasses, fine. I mean, I don't wore them so much now. I look funny without glasses. Hey, Joe, I remember I woke up one morning. I never forget. This was 1994, too. I'm not sure what it was. I thought it was Pekak.

15:24Obviously, my eyes were normal at that time. I thought it was Pekak. Grandma kept me home. Two, three days went by, and I still couldn't see. I remember I went to Baskin-Palmer way, way back then. I can't remember exactly what procedure they did they did some type of surgery did a little incision, went inside did whatever he needed to do when I finished the procedure Joe, my eye it was stuck to the right so you know how big you know how big he small like big he smalls that's how I was all through high school so if you ever see pictures of me in high school you'll always notice I'm like well god damn it what a nigga cock eye yeah so it was stuck like that yeah so now most of the time on here I don't know if the chat if you ever watch and if I ever wear my Cartiers and if I lock it and I'm saying something and I'm talking if you ever notice my right eye will veer off you know to the side sometimes yeah it's hard to see because it's very subtle which is why I wear shades all the time especially now because I think when the camera is so close up on me, like right here, when I'm on TV, it doesn't do it.

16:40It doesn't do it, which is why most of the time when I'm on TV, I don't wear shades because the cameras are so far away. Right, right. But this one is so close. I don't know if it's weird. I just need to get it fixed. But I'm scared to do it because if I do it again, I always think to myself, what happens if my eye gets stuck to the right again? And it took like four or five years to build the strength up for the comeback normal. Go on and take it out. What?

17:06Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I'm getting these jokes off on you now. I just want you to know. Nah, don't take it out, bro. Don't take it out. Nah, I ain't going to do that. I ain't going to do that. It's bad.

17:16Chad Johnson:You got to know. I mean, hey. You want that man walk around with a patch? It's okay. As long as he can see. Hey, Unc.

17:25Shannon Sharpe:Man, do you know how bad he going to get Jon? If he got that thing cocked like a pistol? Nah, Unc. I'm looking at you right now. you see it's normal right now you're looking straight ahead but if that thing start veering to the left or to the right right i mean it it it does it very it's very subtle it's very subtle you you you won't really see it but i can see i can sit here and do a whole show matter of fact remember when i was at the old my old condo remember i used to wear clear glasses yeah yeah so it it it it's like it just happened it's very subtle but it ain't like crazy but i wear glasses on purpose because it's like, what's the word I'm looking for?

18:01Damn. I'm trying to think of the word to use. I just, I hate that, man. I hate it. But Joe, you don't see all that gray, Joe? I see you, boy. That shit's bad, boy. Joe, if I, let's say, if somebody was to poke me in my eye and I was driving, I had to pull over because I can't

18:24Shannon Sharpe:see you. Well, you better get that Tesla and put the cordless in so it'll always take your black ass back home. Hey, I'm going to keep it real.

18:31Chad Johnson:I don't give a damn about that eye, boy. I'm still going to kick your ass. Huh? Damn about that eye.

18:37Shannon Sharpe:Man, you going to be the one-eyed man? What?

18:39Chad Johnson:Damn, I. Hey, Joe. Damn, Joe said he don't care nothing about the one-eyed man. Hey, Joe. Joe, you do realize I played my whole career like this from high school all the way through. You know, this one eye don't mean nothing, Joe. Well. I'm going to be on your ass like white on rice. I'm going to talk you about your game. I'm telling you. I already know your equilibrium is off. You trying to balance with one eye? Hell, no. You ain't got so much. Hey, Joe, I don't think you understand. I did everything I did in the NFL with one eye. I want to see you do it again. Imagine if I had two. I want to see you guard me with that one eye.

19:16Chad Johnson:That's what I want to see. That's what I want to see. That's exactly what I want to see. All right. Hell, you more handicapped than me. With this knee over here, you way more handicapped than me. No, how? I've been this way my whole life. Okay. What you talking about? And when we fight, I'ma be able to see you with one eye. That's all I need. Hey, I like, hey, hey. If a man got a disability, boy, I'm talking about, I'ma take advantage of it every time. You should. Yeah, yeah. Cause see, you shouldn't have been doing all that damn talking. I wouldn't have jumped on your ass. That's what happens.

26:42Shannon Sharpe:Just a heads up, Chad. We're off tomorrow, but we're on for Tuesday. So we're off tomorrow. We're on Tuesday. Change the schedule. All right. Before we get started, we got to get to our super chats. We got five video voicemails from our Discord. Let's take a listen to the first one.

27:00Chad Johnson:What's up, Nightcap? Congratulations on 2 million. I was within the first, like, 75 ,000, so it's crazy to see how far y 'all done came. I came to the live show in Dallas. What's up, Unc? Ocho Frico. And still, King Iso. Ocho, I got a couple things I want to say. Ocho you owe Joe$200 from the Miami versus Charlotte game. And the Knicks series is tied, so that's even. So you still owe Joe$200. Don't send him to the 500 early for the game five, by game six in Atlanta. Don't send that money early, you gotta keep it. And I wanna know, what's y 'all favorite nightcap moment? My favorite nightcap moment is when Ocho said, we break up, I'm putting on somebody at night.

27:44Chad Johnson:Then Ocho said, you ain't gonna hit him, Ninja? Y 'all have a good one. Oh man, over these three years,

27:55Shannon Sharpe:guys we've had some moments, Ocho. We had some moments. Some really good ones. Yeah. And I think that's what really helped us grow so fast because it seemed like we was going viral down there. Every other show, every other show at least.

28:07Chad Johnson:Yeah.

28:08Shannon Sharpe:We was going viral with something that we said or something you did.

28:10Chad Johnson:Hey, Ocho said, damn, you ain't gonna hear.

28:13Shannon Sharpe:I remember that. Yeah. Hey. The quickest way to get over one is climb on top of another one. Hey, that old man, that was, we had some good moments, boy. Hey, one of my favorites is because we don't do it often is sometimes Joe with me and Uncle go at it and it's like he believe in something and he tried to get me to go along with what he believe in and then I don't and then he get a little louder and then I get angry. You tried to kill me? You tried to kill me? You tried to kill me? You tried to kill me? You tried to kill me? Hey, matter of fact, hey, Joe, when we first started, I think we were talking about boxers, and we were talking about Bud, and we were talking about boots.

29:01Chad Johnson:Yeah. He was telling me if there was a fight, I had to pick one. And oh, but he got on me. I was, hey, Joe, I was so mad. I'm talking about, hey, Joe, I was hot.

29:12Shannon Sharpe:I ain't gotta pick nothing. I like both of them. I'm fine with both of them. I ain't picking, I ain't picking one. You can. Hey Joe, it was like I had caught a little tantrum.

29:23Chad Johnson:Yeah. Hey, boy, I want hot, boy. It don't happen at all, but when it do, boy, it's good. Yeah, I remember that, it was one time Ojo was late. Ojo was late, I got on your ass. Oh yeah. He said, well, wait a minute, wait a minute. When you gonna do the NFL, and they really do you.

29:45Shannon Sharpe:What I had to do with pick me up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You was in Chicago. Yeah, I was in Chicago, yeah. Chicago, yeah. Hey, that was a good one, boy. Hey, boy, unc, unc, unc, unc, red and nigga that shit up that night, boy. Instead of saying, you know, man, I really appreciate you trying to pick me up, man, but I gotta get this thing. This man gonna sit there and wait for the man for the tow truck to come and get the keys out of the car. And he, and he recording everything. Hey, hold on though.

30:11Chad Johnson:I heard what Buddy said the first part. He said, you owe me$200. too.

30:16Shannon Sharpe:Huh?

30:17Chad Johnson:100. Ocho, you say you're with. We betted 200 on the Miami and Charlotte game. See, I ain't write this down. That's why I messed up here. I should know who I'm doing business with, the type of cat I'm dealing with. But I'm glad Chad be looking out for me. You know what I mean? And we even with the Atlanta series. But you down 200, partner. That's basically what he's saying. All right, I'm going to see you 200 right now. And remember, we got 500 tomorrow now. No, game six. Game six. game six why not tomorrow we didn't we didn't we we we we off tomorrow so okay we ain't been tomorrow now yeah all right bet yeah hey boy that was funny boy hey joe you know you know i'd be flying play i've been doing like 10 years joe i fly places because i don't want to uber and i don't want to pay for no cab i have people pick me up from twitter you ain't nervous you ain't nervous to do that don't you know what i told you i'm gonna do something to me you never know joe Joe I'm just as crazy as they are Joe I mean what y 'all want to do what they gonna do Joe that's that free spirit in you hey Joe you calling me a hoe again it just depends on how you take it I'm just listen they be my fans man you gotta think what athlete ever you know man I'm flying into Chicago anybody want to pick me up we can have a conversation go grab something and you can drop me to the motel like that's some dope shit Joe think about it Joe I ain't just no regular I ain't no regular I didn't even know just no regular athlete this is Ocho yeah that's what I'm trying to say that's dope you know and I'm very I'm very very social you had any you had any females pick you up before no I always pick when I do when I do a Twitter I always do a guy always always yeah I don't play like that boy

32:06Shannon Sharpe:okay smart here's the second one let's take a listen

32:13Chad Johnson:nightcap family what's up it's bird here from waco chases hey uh i've been finding y 'all for a good minute but uh joe i got a question for you what is it what is the experience like uh playing against lebron and i know it i know it got to be you know some extras on it you know i just i just want to hear what the experience was playing against bro Peace

32:39Chad Johnson:As a competitor, bro Playing against him was fun Especially in the playoff series It's just It's like you can have him at bay Or keep him at bay for a couple games And then he'll explode And have 45, 50 points one game And that'll be the difference But he, I mean I played against him in probably Two or three playoff series And he was special in all of them he especially now I don't care what we did you try to double him yeah he he still wore ass out I'll just keep it real I'll keep it real I thought y 'all had it when he was uh uh and uh when you was in jury in the nets man you know what and that's why I say because during the regular season Uncle Ocho we won three out of the four games against that heat team so I'm like you know we feeling good coming into the playoffs now mind you they had been resting they had been in wrestling for probably about a week because we won seven games with Toronto that year.

33:37Chad Johnson:We had one game we had one day of rest but I thought we played pretty good. They were just they were too much bro. They were too much because even if we kept D-Wade and Bron at bay it's like Bosh would step up and he would score big buckets. You see what I'm saying? It was just tough. They had too many weapons. Here's our third one. What's up, Ocho? And still, King Aiso. Hello. Hey, Dyson Daniels got to go for Atlanta, bro. He just – he played good defense, and sometimes he get the assist. But, man, man, his offensive production, bro. Like, you see him shoot the three, and it's like, oh, that's flat.

34:27You know that's a miss. Then the bull crap layups, man. And, like, boy, he got to go.

34:37Chad Johnson:I ain't going to say he got to go. You know, I can get, you know, when you watch the Hawks play, how they don't really respect his three-point shot. So, you know, that's kind of like having that extra man and that kind of packing the paint. And he get a few wide-open looks. Hell, they treat him like he a non-shooter. I don't think his shot that broke. He just hadn't been making nothing. You know, he don't really look like he's shooting with a lot of confidence, if y 'all really want to know. But I think he's capable. You know what I mean? I think he's capable. He's a hell of a defender. Obviously, I think he does a great job on Brunson.

35:15Chad Johnson:And he a guy who will go in there and get you 11, 12 rebounds. Uncle Ocho. Yeah, he ain't going to give you no hell of a high production offensively. But he's going to do those other small, minute things that's not going to show up on the stat sheet. and he's a guy who you ain't never got to run no plays for. You feel what I'm saying? So, you know, you got to try to use him as a Swiss Army knife as much as you can, and hopefully, you know, his productivity, you know, gets better over this series because if he does step up and give you 15 and 17 points one game, I feel like that's definitely been our favor.

Can you make to sunrise there's always something new to see because we've got plenty of space to just be plan your trip at travelnevada.com all right let's go to the next one what up i'm outro back at it again hey question for you um what's the nastiest block you ever had for td during your playing time oh joe what was that randy maz to marvie harrison during like that time and joe what was it like Playing against Kobe, Shaq, and those Lakers during that time. There's three things there in life. Def, taxes, and still, King Ocho.

40:03Yeah. You thought that was about you, huh? He know what it is.

40:08Shannon Sharpe:The best luck I have for TD.

40:17Shannon Sharpe:Probably the Cowboys game. We played the Cowboys in 98. Hell, he had 122 yards on two carries. What the hell? TD. Oh. Damn. So, yeah, I see it off the backside. He cut back. That's probably it. Mm-hmm. Ocho, you played – I mean, look, that was a hell of an era. During that era? Randy was at the peak. Randy was Randy. Marvin was Marvin. I mean, you had Torrey Holt in that era. Yeah. Isaac Bruce. Yeah, Reverend Knight. You played also where Fitz had come in by then. Yeah. Man, those dudes were special, man. When it comes to Randy and T.O., they were dope. But when it comes to the artistry and painting the picture of route running, that goddamn Marvin Harrison, man, Jimmy Smith, Isaac Bruce, Torrey Holt, man, they were.

41:17I forgot about Jimmy. People forget about Jimmy, Ocho. Hey, man, listen, they were masters at manipulating whatever it was they were doing. They did. Everything looked the same. They were magicians, man. They were magicians. Like those few. Now, there are a few others that I haven't named, but that's the cream of the crop right there. Oh, let me throw Reggie Wayne in there, too. Yeah. Reggie Wayne could paint. He could paint like no other.

41:47Chad Johnson:Playing against the Lakers? Kobe and Shaq. Shaq and Kobe. Man, listen. I don't know if y 'all ever went into a game thinking like, damn, ain't no way we're going to win this game today. Y 'all ever went into a game like that? Maybe y 'all haven't. But, boy, listen. Playing against them, Shaq and Kobe Lakers, I don't give a damn what team I was on Ocho. I ain't. Y 'all, they beat them? It was going to be. I think when I was in Phoenix, we beat them a couple times, but it's like Stephon like the year I was playing with Stephon Marbury he can he we went in LA one time he gave them boys 50. yeah yeah Steph gave them boys 51 year this like this had to be like oh three something like that wow Steph was Steph was a bad boy I seen Steph pretty much handle them boys by himself then we beat him now I was surprised behind that but outside of that bro they were just they were special even the year 2000 uh 2005 2004 2005 when i was with phoenix and we ended up being the number one team that year i told y 'all we should play like 10 preseason games right the lakers was the only team we lost to in the preseason because by the time we played them in the preseason okay ocho we was already like seven eight no and i could tell kobe was irritated behind you know hearing all the hearing about the success we was having and all that.

43:11Chad Johnson:You know how normally when guys come out they shake your hand, you know, they don't be as serious. It's preseason, bro. Man, that man came out and didn't shake nobody's hand. He had that little stale look on his face. I said, oh, he ain't playing tonight. He said... That's the only team that beat us. They beat us in Vegas.

43:31Shannon Sharpe:Alright. This is our last one. We got one more. I think this is our last one. Oh, what's good? Ocho, what it do, baby? And still, you know, I always said Shannon is that uncle that's strict, but once he had some of that laporte in his system, he loosened up, be cool as I don't know what. Ocho is that older big brother who lets you get away with anything. My guy Joe, that's that cousin that unless he's at the family function, you don't even want to go. So if he ain't even going to be there, you're like, man, you know what?

44:03Chad Johnson:I'm going to see this or not. But I do have this one question. what was one time that you knew only by the grace of God that it worked out in your favor or he turned things around that's for all three

44:15Shannon Sharpe:of y 'all that's a good one really good one

44:22Shannon Sharpe:oh my goodness

44:31Shannon Sharpe:man I'm trying to think the grace of God it worked out in my favor

44:36Chad Johnson:Oh, me. In 2004

44:44Chad Johnson:turning down a$50 million contract.

49:08Shannon Sharpe:Zay the Finov, he said, what's the difference between a guitar and a fish? You can't tuna fish.

49:16Chad Johnson:You can't tuna fish. Ocho's slow. He don't know. Yeah, he don't know.

49:22Shannon Sharpe:Brother Franklin, 0-0 since Unc love stats. LeBron is the first 41-year-old to grab 10 points, 8 turnovers. We're the pom-poms tonight. You late, bro? I mentioned that. I said LeBron James had 10 points, 9 assists, and 8 turnovers, which is unacceptable. You missed it. You got to come in early, bro. Got to come in early. Montavious Griffin, Amon Thompson, Shingun be flopping. Durant sidelining Lakers in five his arrogance death taxes and always make an excuse for LeBron but if it was any other player would go out there all about how bad they play I'm gonna move on past that because everybody that listened to the first part of the show know that I said I was very critical of LeBron uh Sheldon Pope Iso Ocho you two are the most competitive co-host among of all podcasts it works so well both of you NFL teams have dominant duos.

50:19Shannon Sharpe:Which duo going to have more yards this season? So he said the Cowboys duo, CeeDee Lamb and Pickens or Chase and Higgins.

50:28Chad Johnson:I bet 1 ,000 that CeeDee Lamb and Pickens.

50:31Shannon Sharpe:Damn, Ocho.

50:32Chad Johnson:I bet 1 ,000 that CeeDee Lamb and Pickens have more yards than Higgins and Chase. Make it 2 ,000 because Pickens ain't going to be there. Yeah, I thought you were talking about something, partner. Let's do it. Make it 2 ,000. I thought you were really talking about something. Let's do it. Tiggins ain't playing on that goddamn franchise tag, man.

50:54Shannon Sharpe:He don't need to worry about that, no Dewey, no joke.

50:57Chad Johnson:Yeah, he worry about the wrong thing. All right. Yeah, that's why I said, too, because I know he ain't going to be there. So you might as well pay up now. Too bad. All right. Chat, don't y 'all let me forget, chat. I ain't going to let you forget because I want my money. I'm going to be able to get my room done with that 2 ,000.

Like, instead of me sitting down all the time, I want to be able to walk around and the camera follow me and still talk.

51:47Chad Johnson:Oh, he can't. That's a slide. You know that man can't. But you still gotta be in view of it. He can't sit still, huh?

51:53Shannon Sharpe:No, no, no. No, but I'm saying he gotta have a sliding camera. Yeah, I get one of them. I'ma have all the cameras. But here's the thing, in order for it to see your face, it's gonna have to block your face because it's gonna be sliding.

54:15Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

54:15Chad Johnson:Yeah.

54:17Shannon Sharpe:Oh, but when they first tell you, I was like, Lord, I just hit that rib like dead present.

54:25Shannon Sharpe:I hit that rib, man. Hey, boy, listen. Nino Rogers, I knew exactly what you were talking about. Growing up in Alabama, my grandfather had put peanuts in his Coca-Cola. He also ate hog-head cheese with crackers. We call it sous meat from where I'm from. Yeah, man, I don't like the hog-head cheese. That thing be cold.

54:48Chad Johnson:Hey, did y 'all used to put peanuts in the oven, though? Y 'all used to have roasted peanuts in the oven? No. Oh, you talking about the shell peanuts? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we did. Yes. Ocho, you ain't never do that? No. I mean, they used to sell them at the sports games, though. No, no. I'm talking about fresh out of that oven when they warm and hot. Yeah.

55:09Shannon Sharpe:Yep. My grandma used to do that for us. LSU Nick, what happens first? Ocho pays or we see an invisible game room. He needs to exchange those leopard pants for line print. He does nothing but lie. Hey. I think I'm gonna get my money before we see that game room. I don't know. Either I get my money first or neither will happen because he ain't doing a game room. You won't bet nothing.

55:40Chad Johnson:Oh, he already said you gotta get that money back in blood. He ain't.

55:43Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, well, I mean, after you get finished, after you go back and get him about three, four rounds, there ain't gonna be nothing left, Joe.

55:49Chad Johnson:Yeah, all right, he gonna be skin and bone. Yeah, I don't know who, what he think this is over here. Brandon Lavender.

55:58Shannon Sharpe:If you can't stay in the game, we can't trust you. No matter where you play. I think he's talking about Embiid. Well, yeah, that's his opinion. He ain't writing the checks. Because he's getting paid max dollar for not being available. Brandon Crowe, go ahead. Go ahead, Ochoa, finish up. No, I was just saying, he's getting paid max dollar for not being available. Brandon Crowe says, in your guy's career, when it came time to be a free agent, What factors did you weigh the most? What appealed you most in your decision-making?

56:34Chad Johnson:Well, for me, when I came here to Atlanta, I was a restricted free agent, meaning Phoenix could match anything that any team was willing to pay me. So mine was a little different. So, you know, I had to go out. I had to call the owner, Robert Salva, and I had to tell him, Okay, Ocho, I had to get on the phone with him, meet him and my agent, and tell him not to match. Like, bro, don't match. Because see, what they try to do is they tell all these teams, whatever y 'all paying, we're going to match. So y 'all might as well don't even – Yeah, try to scare them off. Yeah, scare them off. So now they can lowball me.

57:09Chad Johnson:You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, so.

57:14Shannon Sharpe:Well, Baltimore first to the table.

57:21Shannon Sharpe:And Art Modell was already at Atlanta taking care of some stuff. Everybody knows what transpired in 2000. He was already down there, and he was going to be flying back that Sunday. And he told my agent he wanted me to fly back with him, and he just wanted to talk to me. And so we just had started having a – I met him at the airport. The private flew back. We were having a conversation, just talked. You know, he asked me what I like, my family, stuff like that. Just a lot of, you know, just a lot of talking, trying to figure me out. and so we land, we go back. Ozzy meets us at the facility because Ozzy's going to take me back to the hotel.

58:04He says, Ozzy, I got this deal closed.

58:07Shannon Sharpe:Don't you mess it up. So me and Ozzy went and had, we had breakfast that morning, me, him, and James Harris, Shaq. We had breakfast that morning. I went and got a physical. that afternoon is like we do the deal we're gonna make him the highest paid tight end I ain't going nowhere else I ain't going nowhere else I was like yeah

58:39Shannon Sharpe:Ocho you ain't been the free agent you was the free agent when you went to Miami right or they traded for you I think free agent yeah I didn't get the experience what free agents would like to get shit damn near year 12.
