In short
Nightcap Hour 3 mixes sports talk with a Q&A segment about pregame/postgame meals and rituals, plus debate about NFL/NBA narratives and LeBron vs. Jordan GOAT arguments. It also includes sponsor reads and listener shoutouts.
Guests (who they are)
No named external guests appear in the transcript. The episode is hosted by “Joe” and “Ocho” (with “ISO” appearing as a recurring co-host/participant in Q&A and shoutouts). “Real Chris Morris, shout out to ISO” indicates ISO is part of the show, not a separate guest.
Key claims
- T-Mobile customers reportedly had the lowest wireless bills vs Verizon/AT&T over five years (HarrisX billing snapshots, excluding discounts/credits/optional charges).
- For game prep, Ocho/Joe claim they prefer an empty stomach before tipoff; they eat earlier (e.g., 10am for a 2pm game) and stop after.
- They argue season openers won’t be more competitive than the Super Bowl due to limited starter play and no preseason.
Notable examples
- Q&A: honey buns, pasta, and postgame “3-piece chicken box” style meals; fasted cardio (12–15 hours without eating).
- Sports debate: LeBron vs Jordan GOAT discussion; NFL schedule release and Patriots/Seahawks opener chatter.
- Mentions of former teammate Jason Collins (ISO reflects on his humor and Super Bowl parties).

30:13Shannon Sharpe:With the Patriots going to Seattle to open the season And A.J. Brown coming to New England Along with new additions to the offensive line Romeo Dobbs Do you guys believe the season opener will be more competitive Than the Super Bowl? No Hell no How does season opener going to be more competitive? Absolutely not Teams not even going to be into their own Into their own just yet It's going to take you a couple of days It's going to take you a couple of weeks to get into to real, real football shit, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they don't do anything. They don't play the preseason. Most of your starters ain't going to play, but maybe five.
30:46Shannon Sharpe:They might not even play. The hell nah. Pistons should call the son up and try to get Book and trade J.D. You know what? Hold on. So you want them to trade for Devin Booker and trade Jalen Dern? I don't think I'm going to do that. I don't think the Suns going to do that. Nah, they saying because, you know, Paul Reed giving them great minutes off the bench, they'd probably rather see Paul Reed. Hell, he got the bulk of the minutes down the street. But the Pistons do need another score. They do. They need another score. They do. Damn. Even if they do come back and get out this series, it's just going to be tough to continue to advance because, hell, you ain't got enough scoring, bro.
31:35Let's have a little grab. Your defense got to be unbelievable. Go ahead, Joe. What are you going to say? Finish your thought. I'm saying your defense has to be like the greatest for you to continue to play and move on with offensive output like that.
31:48Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, when you only got really one guy that kind of like can create consistently on his own, it's so hard. And if your defense ever, ever takes a step down because it's so hard for you to get buckets on the other end. And if your defense laps on your end, they just – because it's a – Like if K, and I agree with you, Joe, I would not have been mad if K shot the ball 35 times. Hell no. Hey, damn all that passing. We need buckets. Samuel LeGrand said, Phil, handy help Roy. That's why he's shooting like he is. Yeah. I think Kyrie worked. Hold on. He worked with Kawhi. He's worked with a lot of guys.
32:30He worked with Austin Reeves too a lot.
32:32Shannon Sharpe:Absolutely, yes. That's the AAA. Hey, he's probably one of the main guys in developing Austin Reed's handle the way it is today. I'm sure Austin Reed would give him a lot of credit. He put a lot of time in with that guy. Drake did LeBron tonight when that unk response. Drake did LeBron tonight when that unk response track dropping. I ain't got nothing to do with me. I stay out of grown people beef did y 'all hear Ho said he think it's done gone far enough the beef go way way back LL and Kool Moe D had a beef who was that KRS one and Melimeo BDP so I'm over there. Obviously we've seen a lot of beefs happen.
33:35Shannon Sharpe:I think Fabulous had a beef with somebody else. Had a beef with somebody. Obviously Tupac and Biggie. Biggie, yeah. Jay-Z, Nas. Q, Jay-Z, Nas, Remy, My, Nicki. Yeah. Q with that NWA with no Vaseline. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
34:00Shannon Sharpe:can you guys please send birthday wishes to zorion green zorion happy birthday hopefully you did something great today uh you didn't give us a whole lot to work with bro but uh happy birthday man oh this is about to be a long off season i got jumped by 20 laker fans on twitter today talking about what you said last night. Don't worry, I gave him hell. It'll be all right. I don't know. I just, you know, argue that. So where were y 'all going before LeBron got there? That's all we talking about. That's what we talking about. You say y 'all ain't no good. I mean, they ain't no good with the Lakers, but y 'all saw what y 'all record was before LeBron got there.
34:49Shannon Sharpe:Nobody was looking for y 'all. You're the Lakers. just like the Giants or the Giants and the Cowboys or the Cowboys but come on yeah the Knicks are the Knicks some brands yes you are a brand just like the Celtics the Celtics was on a hard time before they got JT and JB back there yes sir y 'all know it Brandon Jordan comedy you can read all the stats you want Kobe is the GOAT Okay, that's fine. But you can say Kobe's the GOAT without trying to dump on LeBron. That's fine. You want to say Jordan's the GOAT? Right. Fine. You want to say Bird, Magic, Kareem? That's fine. But the problem is that y 'all go out of y 'all way.
35:34Shannon Sharpe:Mm-hmm. When Kobe did what he was doing with Kobe, ain't nobody say Jordan would have scored 90. When Kobe had 60, ain't nobody say Jordan would have scored 70. LeBron give you a 50-point triple-double, he's stat-packed.
35:55It's an ongoing conversation. It'll be an ongoing debate. Yeah. Oh, he's that bad. He should do this. Yeah. Go ahead, Jocho. What were you saying? I was going to say it's going to be as a back and forth that will never end. Hey, it's damn near like politics when it comes to this too.
36:17Shannon Sharpe:I can agree. Ocho, you might say Jerry, you might say Randy. I can say Jerry's the GOAT. But by saying Jerry's the GOAT, that doesn't take away anything that Randy or T.O. has done. Okay, Randy's the GOAT. People say Randy's the GOAT. We got the malls. T.O. great run after the catch. That don't take away anything Jerry's done. That doesn't take away anything Randy's done. And what those other two guys did doesn't take away anything from T.O. Right. but what y 'all try to do y 'all try to minimize what lebron has done because when you he win y 'all y 'all talk about he lost everybody else you say magic johnson won five titles they don't bring up magic losses they don't bring up kobe losses they only bring they don't bring up lebron's win they just talk about he got six final losses yeah get a man it's okay you want to say Kobe to go fine you want to I can I can debate that with you you say Jordan's to go I can debate that magic Kareem bird Elijah one Duncan Shaq whomever we can have a healthy discussion without trying to just be dismissive of the other guy oh you already tore a knee bowling so Ochoa so basketball game.
37:35Shannon Sharpe:Gonna be the better next to go to the hospital.
37:41Shannon Sharpe:Hey. Landslide. Uh.
37:51Shannon Sharpe:Oh, you were wrong last night after Kobe retired. Lincoln, that's the televised game. ESPN, TNT 23 times in 16, 35 times in 18. MJ was 6 '6 and 5. is better than 4-4 in less years.
38:12Shannon Sharpe:If all you're talking about is championships, well, if that's the case,
38:22why isn't Havlicek?
38:25Shannon Sharpe:He didn't lose any finals. He won eight in the same amount of years. Why isn't it Russell? He won 11 in less years. Same MVPs, five. They didn't have the finals MVP because the finals MVP didn't come into effect until 1969. And in 1969, Jerry West won the finals MVP on a losing squad. That's the only time that has ever happened in basketball. It's happened in football once. Chuck Howley from the Cowboys, He won the Super Bowl MVP on a losing squad. They lost 16-13 to the Indianapolis Colts. So if you're just talking championship, what about the guy that's won a bunch of championships? I'm looking at Totale.
39:14Shannon Sharpe:I'm looking at points scored. I'm looking at all-star games. I'm looking at all NBA selections, finals MVPs, regular season MVPs, leading his team in points, leading his team in assists. There's a lot that goes into it. So if we're just taking championships, well, all the Celtics should be on the top ten. Sam Jones, Casey Jones, Havlicek, Russell. Like you say, Ocho, we're going to be having this debate forever. Yeah. LeBron is going out sad, MJ forever. Quick one question. Y 'all think LeBron looked worse than what Jordan did in Washington? Are we really having this discussion? I mean, seriously, come on now.
40:04Shannon Sharpe:Let's be real. Are y 'all saying right now LeBron James looked worse his last two years in L.A. than Jordan looked in Washington? That's what he just said. Nah. I'm gonna help him out now, he ain't saying nothing. Hey guys, you ever thought about having Lil Wayne make a theme song for Nightcap, like he did for Undisputed or any other singer rapper? No, we hadn't thought about it. We cost money for that, bro. Oh yeah. Fox had to pay for that. We ain't got no money for that. I just come in and do the intro, I'm joking, do the intro, we'll alternate. If y 'all want us to alternate, we'll alternate.
40:52Shannon Sharpe:I didn't do an intro. Matter of fact, you know, I'd be in the studio, I can make a song. Yeah. Hey, trust me. Do you hear Club Shay Shay, Nipsey Hussle? I don't pay for that. Every year. Yeah. I got a real.
41:13Shannon Sharpe:Hey, man, all these ads, every time they come out with a graphic, man, the graphic team on the historical run, y 'all need a rave. Well, how the hell they gonna get a raise? Man, oh man, hey, hey, hey, graphic team. Boy, y 'all on the run. Y 'all need a raise. Hey, I don't know whoever the graphic team is. Well, damn.
41:39Shannon Sharpe:How the hell you think I'm gonna get them that raise if we ain't got no advertising dollars coming in? Mm-hmm. Oh, shit. Oh. I mean, go to the thing. Ocho, go to the cop, go to the one they just put up. See how far you gotta go down before they say the team nightcap team, graphic team need to raise. How many comments? Hey, hey, I already know. I already know it.
42:09Yeah. You ain't gotta go far neither.
42:14Shannon Sharpe:Hold on, let me see.

45:00Shannon Sharpe:Grab his team on a generational run. I'm loving these.
45:11Shannon Sharpe:Like, well damn.
45:15Shannon Sharpe:They like, hey, man, y 'all need a raise. Yeah. Put that pressure on. We need to, we try to, I wish Ocho and Oda, we tried to get back to that, the first five, 10 minutes. Nothing but ass. Don't y 'all rather let me go ahead and get those out the way? Yeah. Yeah.
45:42Shannon Sharpe:them goons gonna rob for his chain took a look at gave him another said that that's hallucination yeah how you doc the most points this man scored in four games was 10 hmm
46:02Shannon Sharpe:I told all he had to do is take away the the D-O-M and put A-B, abomination. Abomination. I mean, come on now. But that's a chain Shaq shoulda got. Yeah. Shokit should get, Wimby.
46:27Bro.
46:31Hey, hey, he had to be feeling good at the time he hit the jewel and told him to make that one. He was feeling good. He was feeling real good at the time. Oh, my goodness.
46:42Shannon Sharpe:How many likes on streams for you to not cry over LeBron next stream? MJ the GOAT. Nothing? Because guess what? My pod. Why y 'all? So let me ask you a question. How many likes you need for you not to take a shot at LeBron?
47:04huh? How many?
47:08Shannon Sharpe:Jump back in there, Domination. Five. How many do you need? How many for you not to take a shot at LeBron?
47:20Shannon Sharpe:I'm just curious.
47:25Shannon Sharpe:MJ the GOAT, fine. Like I said, we having a conversation. But my only thing is, you can like something without trying to talk down or belittle something else. That's it. Absolutely. Oh, need to take a breather. Calm down. It's getting out of hand. How you know it's getting out of hand? So am I just talking or am I responding to people? I mean, for an action, there has to be an opposite reaction. If I just put If I just put this ball on this table, it won't move. But if I touch it, I cause a reaction. So it's going to roll. I've just responded to what chat and what people have said on television.
48:14Shannon Sharpe:You make it seem like I go, ask people when they see me in the barbershop. Ask people when they see me out of the street. Hey, man, let's talk about Jordan right quick. I know you got a little time on your hand. Let's talk about Jordan. Let's talk about Kobe. Let's talk about LeBron. Nobody's ever seen me out. And I've had a conversation about LeBron. People bring things up. They'll bring up Brady. They'll bring up this guy, this receiver, that guy. Y 'all make it seem like I just brought this up.
48:49Shannon Sharpe:MJ couldn't even win until he got Pippen. Bro was 1-9 in the playoffs with back-to-back sweeps in the first round. LeBron read three teams to conference semis in three years, losing in seven. My only thing, Joe, you know my biggest problem is to be the God's honest truth. Is that people tell you Jordan never lost a game. He never, he never, he never missed a shot. Yeah. He never missed a free throw that could have won the game. Same thing. That's it. Oh, LeBron got swept. Did you, did Jordan not get swept twice by the Celtics? Right. Well, the Celtics good. So OKC Thunder bombs. Many people have Kevin Durant, that 17-18 Warriors team, as one of the greatest, if not the greatest team ever assembled.
49:42Shannon Sharpe:Is it a shame to get swept by them?
49:48Shannon Sharpe:It's not. Y 'all make it seem like the only time, the only time you can honestly say LeBron should have won is 2011. 2011, I believe they had a better team than Dallas. Bron, Wade, Bosh, Dirk is the greatest run in NBA Finals history. When you look at what he did, beat Russ, Harden, and KD, beat LeBron, Bosh, and Wade, gentlemen sweep Kobe after coming off back-to-back championships. Yes, sir. That is the greatest run in finals in finals on the way to the finals in finals history. That is it.
50:35Shannon Sharpe:Yes. Jordan is great. But you make it seem like there is only room for like there are a lot of great inventions. The telephone is a great invention. The television is a great invention. The automobile is a great invention. Y 'all make it seem like you're going to have one great basketball player, Ocho Joe.
50:59Got to be able to enjoy them all.
51:02Shannon Sharpe:Yes! All things being equal. Some people, what's the greatest invention? Is it the cell phone, Ocho? Is it the television? Is it the automobile? Is it the airplane?
51:20Shannon Sharpe:Is it vaccines? everybody is not going to say telephone is the greatest invention. Everybody's not going to say automobile, the airplane, the television, the refrigerator. Huh? Electricity. I mean, you can make a case that antibiotics.
51:49Shannon Sharpe:We're not going to agree on everything. It's okay. you are a thousand percent correct about narrative changing I remember most of this had Kobe 9 through 12 on all time list before he died then he died then magically he started moving up you can google it and ask I have
52:07Shannon Sharpe:but it happens it happens it happened in Dr. King's case there was not a whole lot of t-shirts printing it up people wasn't going around I have a dream speech happened in 1963 if I'm not mistaken it. Mm.
52:27Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Joe said he was called. Oh, my goodness. Back there. He also said, oh, my goodness. When he saw old lady rolling up on the cables in the backseat. Oh, man. Come on, man. Come on.
52:53Shannon Sharpe:oh my goodness all that
52:58Shannon Sharpe:hey joe that man started pulling all that thing oh my goodness come on
53:08come on come on come on
53:19Shannon Sharpe:Hey, come on man, stay. Hey, stay.
53:27Hey Joe, that's a decision she made Joe. You know. Nothing you can do about it, old Joe. Nothing you can do about it. You know, after that point, I was the one doing all the coiling up after that point. Come on, Ocho, man. I'm just saying after that. Ocho, you can't let one moment change who you are. I'm talking about after that point, you know, that's who I was, you know, I was always number two. Now, you know, I'm different. Now I'm seasoned, I'm a veteran, you know, and I'm, you know, I just settle down, you feel me? Yeah, yeah.
54:00Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, Cambodia got a good one. Yeah, yeah, she do, she do, she do, she do. Your big three, my birthday is tomorrow. the 14. Can I get a shout out for my favorite pod and do you have any Chicago Bear story? Yes, happy birthday, bro. Enjoy the birthday. Hopefully you got something fun planned, man. You're probably bigger in the birthdays than I am. I know Ocho said he ain't that big in the birthdays. Joe, did you celebrate birthdays? Man, not since I was young. Okay, Ocho, like 25. I ain't really done that since. Nah, I mean, I ain't really had any Bears stories. I mean, I only played the Bears.
54:42Shannon Sharpe:Well, I played the Bears, hold on, 90, 93. I played them in 01. Then I played them my last. I played them four times. But I played them when, you know, they had, they still had a Singletary on the team. Richard Dent was on the team.
54:59Shannon Sharpe:Dicker was the coach. Hmm.
55:05Shannon Sharpe:They beat us and then we went to Soldier Field in 93 and we beat them. Then we beat them opening day in 2001. That's when they had Urlacher. Urlacher was there then. And then they beat us my last year. 12 is where Kobe belongs. The least efficient top 12 player ever. One MVP. ESPN got him ninth. Bleacher Report got him 11th. Kobe Laker fans don't want to hear the truth. I can keep going. Damn.
55:41Shannon Sharpe:Damn, Ocho. Need a do-over. Y 'all perfect trio. You could see L.A. moving. The 25th pick and someone in a package get a better player in the draft. A vet.
55:56Shannon Sharpe:The Lakers got the 25th pick. Is that what we're talking about, Lakers?
56:09Wow. Hey, my, my, hey, my wife, Margarita, Marquita, has always held me down,
56:20Shannon Sharpe:and she's going through a tough time. Can you please give her a shout out to keep her head up? Marquita, hey, hubby say, you know what? But when things were going bad for him and he was feeling down, you picked him up. He says now is the time he wanted to return the favor. But in the meantime, you keep your head up. Sunshine follows rain. No matter how difficult it seems, no matter how dark it may be, light will eventually come back out. Always. So thank you for always being there for him, for being the excellent wife that you've always been. Now it's his time to be the great husband because when you got married, you know what you said.
56:58It didn't matter.
57:00Shannon Sharpe:Rich, poor, sickness, it doesn't matter. So thank you, hey, bro, thank you for supporting us. Thank you for reaching out, and we wish Marquita a speedy, speedy recovery. Mikel Jones, RIP to my pop. He couldn't stand the Broncos. We cowboys for life, and he always used to tell me, son, I want anyone else but up to catch the damn ball.
57:27Shannon Sharpe:Oh, RIP Pops, man, thank you so much. I mean, I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Thank you for supporting Nightcap. Yeah, man, I'm telling you, it's been a tough time for you Cowboys fans, but I'm sure your pops got an opportunity to see some of them great Cowboy teams. Those Cowboy teams of the 70s and the Cowboy teams of the mid-90s were exemplary. But RIP to Pops and McHale, thank you guys. I really appreciate the support. Hey, Nightcap, can you guys give my beautiful fiancee, Z, a birthday shout out? She's been blessing to me and my outstanding mom and our kids, appreciate you guys. I love the show, y 'all, killing it.
58:06Z, happy birthday.
58:08Shannon Sharpe:Happy birthday, Z. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Let me say, hey, you the best mom and the best wife a man could ask for. And at the end of the day, that's all it's about. To you. When you join a union, happy birthday to you. Because what you're supposed to do, Ocho, the relationship, you water her, she water you, and you both grow. That's not supposed to be. It's not me versus you. It's not you versus me. It's us versus this damn problem.
58:48Shannon Sharpe:We're going to stay united. we're A we're gonna drown out the noise knowing we're gonna go through things things are gonna get difficult things are gonna get tough but you know what together we're a formidable duo so Z Justin wanted you to know that he wanted to know that you were the best mom the best wife someone could ask for and that someone was him and he appreciate you and he loves you very much. I saw working that intro like you trying to get signed, but that's my mama records. That's my mama records. That's a good one. What's up, Nightcap crew? Love the show. Been watching since day one.
59:35Shannon Sharpe:Can I get a birthday shout-out? I'm turning to Big 3-3. What it do? Man. Trey. Hey, man. Happy birthday. hopefully you got something playing man I mean you and the homies going out you got an old lady she gonna take you out get you a nice steak dinner you know shrimp and you know what order that tower she take you out order that seafood tower
1:00:00Shannon Sharpe:no bro but happy birthday man appreciate the support it means a lot that people have held us down man we going on through I mean September be three years bro I mean it's flown by Joe It is flown by.
1:00:17Shannon Sharpe:It's flown by. I mean, damn. I don't know, Ocho. Does it seem three years or does it seem longer? Nah, it seems shorter to me. Okay. When you're having a good time, time flies, fella. Oh, yeah, it's been unbelievable. It's been unbelievable. You know? That's where it's going. Everybody want direct to consumer. They want to be able to. And I think the thing is when you do a podcast, I think the thing is not Joe and Ocho. I think people that they feel that when they listen to a podcast, they don't have bosses. Like if you work at a network or something and you say something, well, somebody told you to say that.
1:01:06Shannon Sharpe:I can honestly say I've been on CBS and I've been on Fox and I've been on ESPN. I've never had anybody to tell me what I could or couldn't say. Yeah. Now, what you do have is people like, now you got to understand, what you're trying to say, is it going to be received as what you're trying to convey? Yeah. So then now you got to pause. Okay. I'm trying to say this. That's not how they're going to take it. so you just okay leave it alone but here nah we try to be as thorough as we can we try to be as authentic as we can knowing that everybody everybody is not gonna like what we have to say right people that might have liked ocho yesterday he might say something today they don't like ocho joe might says have said something yesterday day.
1:02:10Shannon Sharpe:They didn't like but Ocho Joe is saying something today they like. You understand that comes along with it. That's a part of it. And you have to be willing to accept that. You have to be willing in this thing to deal with some level of criticism. I like criticism. I think
1:02:38Shannon Sharpe:hate me for what I am. but don't love me for what I'm not. I can live with that.
1:02:48This is what you see with Ocho,
1:02:51Shannon Sharpe:that's what he allows you to see. What you see with Joe, that's what he allows you to see. What you see with me, this is what I allow you to see. I don't know how you really think you really, really know someone when you get to spend two to three hours a day with them. not interact with them, not be in their home and not see what they eat and see how they live and see their day-to-day. I mean, people that be around you, you know, Cambodia knows, Ocho. She knows, you know, hey, she's been around him and see his schedule. Joe's old lady knows it. My people know me.
1:03:31Shannon Sharpe:But that's the way social media operates now, man. You give people a little glimpse. That's why you got to be careful. That's why you got to be careful, Ocho, about how much you share with people because people yeah oh i know i know him hey but listen i see every goddamn thing so ain't nothing to surprise well uh not everything
1:03:55till you broke that swing set out hey hey they know now hey i'm gonna joke you gotta keep that
1:04:04Shannon Sharpe:I see a man Cambodia might want that out there. It's too late, boy. I ain't got nothing to hide. She might have stuff to hide. Otherwise, not dealing with me, boy. You dealing with me, boy. It's up and stuck. She should have thought about that before she started dealing with you, huh? Oh yeah, absolutely. Because I'm an open book, boy. Joe, you want to close it out? Damn, I ain't working on that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You ain't got no script. Yeah, you see what I mean? Yeah, close it out, Joe. Hey, hey, hey. Misery, hey, look. Misery, look. Hey, Joe, close it out. What happened? Damn.
1:04:45Shannon Sharpe:Thank you guys for joining us for another episode of Nightcap. As the Cleveland Cavaliers go to Detroit and take home court away, they can close out the series on Friday. Thanks to a 117-113 victory in overtime, James Harden was sensational down the stretch, and they got a couple of big buckets for Donovan Mitchell. But the story of the night was Max Struess. He took eight shots. All eight were threes. He made six. He was sensational down the stretch when he had to be, and he came up with the biggest steal of the night in overtime on Cade Cunningham. Cade was phenomenal, but he didn't get much help.
1:05:20Shannon Sharpe:Dennis Jenkins gave him 19. Paul Reed was Paul Reed. He's probably going to play a lot more minutes than 17 because they're going to need him, but they need Tobias Harris. This was the night they needed Tobias Harris to come along to the party. And they didn't give them credit, give the Cavaliers credit. This is a hard-fought victory. They could have hung their heads. They were down nine, but they clawed their way back, going to a 9-0 run, get into overtime, and they win it, 117-113. They can close the series out, head to the Eastern Conference Finals, and face the New York Knicks with a win on Friday night.
