Nightcap Hour 3: Q and Ayyyyyeee

9:49Chad Johnson:That boy taking golden showers and all that. Hey, Joe, it's so warm. It's good for the skin. No, it ain't. Especially if you got any injuries. What's hurting? What's hurting right now, Joe? Not somebody else's. You said your knee was hurt. I ain't told you that. I'm good. I'm here. Tell a P on your knee, Joe. That's what happened. Joe said, I told you that. Nah, nah, nah. What? Hey. Tell a P on your knee, Joe. I bet you be healed. You trying to tell me it's an anti-inflammatory? It is anti-inflammatory. Why do you think I never heard? You already said anti-inflammatory.

10:23Shannon Sharpe:You can't use someone else's. No, no, no. Use someone else's. It all got the same toxins in it. I tell you no lie. Hey, listen. I lied for you before I lied to you, Joe. Man, this man need help. here's our second one Joe yo Iso Ocho was good was good hey y 'all see the jersey hey this for you we talking about you say you got Nisi in Nigeria so the people want to know man what tribe in Nigeria are you from yeah you be talking about kids nowadays only get disciplined hey African kids African descendants man hey they be doing it different bro so hey Iso and Ocho same thing for y 'all what's y 'all ethnicity and then Ocho hey it look like you be rooting for Arsenal, man.

11:06Shannon Sharpe:It looks like they're going to bottle this league again. Pep Guardiola again is going to do it for the fourth time in a row, which is crazy. I'm a Chelsea fan, so it's not a little too good for us. But hey, let me know what you think about that, Ocho. Love the show. Press on 2-0. Let's keep going. Yes, sir. Yeah. Hey, Arsenal, I'm not sure what happened. At one point, there were nine points ahead on the table. Once again, it seems like they're going to bottle the league. Now, Man City, it's tied on points. I think Arsenal has to win out, if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure how the table goes to this point.

11:40Arsenal can't afford to lose another game. I'm hoping, I'd assume that Man City would have to lose. But one thing about Man City, once they take their lead like they've done before, they don't give it up. There's no reason Arsenal should even be in this situation. But it is what it is. And, hey, I'm a football fan in general, but I'm a Napoli fan first. Napoli is my team always will be

12:08Chad Johnson:he said what's our next

12:14Shannon Sharpe:we need to take a trip to Africa then

12:18Chad Johnson:oh yeah and go on a safari

12:21Shannon Sharpe:yeah I want to go on a safari I want to go on a safari

12:24Chad Johnson:and you want you want to see the lines and all that

12:27Shannon Sharpe:yeah

12:29Chad Johnson:hey hey I'm going to get out I want to get out in trouble As long as they come, Walsh.

12:33Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I'm not going to hold you back. Yeah, that'll be fun, though. I'm not going to hold you back. Because I'm sure the guy is going to tell you what you can and can't do. If you go outside of what he instructs you to do, I'll bring the news to your kids.

12:51Chad Johnson:Because I'm going to tell you, if one of them lions grab you, partner, we're going to get your obituary together because ain't nothing we're going to be able to do. Grab who? they ain't even grab me not me

13:03Shannon Sharpe:I like I always like to see that when they're out there shooting them animals in the Cape Buffalo or the lions or the elephants attack yeah and they gotta put I'm team Cape Buffalo I'm team lion and we gotta that'd be dope that'd be dope to see in person watching them hunt you know in their habitat oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but see the thing is the migration is like in March I think that's when the great migration takes place when you know You got five million wildebeest and they're tricking and the lions trying to ambush them. And you got the crocodiles waiting for them to cross the rivers and picking them off.

13:37Shannon Sharpe:I think the migration is in March, isn't it?

13:39Chad Johnson:Hey, hey. As long as they put us in one of them big cage trucks. Joe, what you scared of, Joe? I don't play with that wildlife like that. I respect the wildlife. I want to see it. I mean, I respect them too. But once you're out there, man, you got to become one with the animal.

13:56Shannon Sharpe:I am. You good? I'm a human, so I'm one with the humans. I'll let them do lions. Man, if you have... Go to the zoo. I don't know if people have actually seen them and you can't really get that close to them. But to see one up close, I'm talking about up close, like a couple of feet away, you realize how big a lion tiger is. And then people ask you to talk about, oh, I could beat a lion in a fight or I could beat a bear or a polar bear or a grunt stop.

14:23Chad Johnson:You can't get away from them animals. They climb trees and everything. Matter of fact, the funny thing about it, Joe, you ever had a cat? Hey, Joe, you ever see how fast just a regular Dimex the cat is? You said a cat or cat? Cat, C-A-T.

14:43Shannon Sharpe:I'm about to have some a couple of days ago. But okay, I get what you said. Oh, you come out the one with folate. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get what you said. I had some.

14:53Chad Johnson:Hey, hey.

14:53Shannon Sharpe:I had some. Yeah, we had some of them too. Yes, yes, yes.

14:56Chad Johnson:Hey, hold on, hold on. Hey, but while y 'all playing, though, we had a bangle cat. We had a bangle cat here. Y 'all know who the bangle cat is? Mm-mm. The little medium-sized one with the stripes? Yeah, but they serious. My daughter had one, but we had to get rid of him. Boy, he ain't the guy so big. Uncle Ocho.

15:16Shannon Sharpe:You had a servo? Yeah. That ain't no regular house cat. That ain't no regular tabby. That ain't no tomcat. You had a servo.

15:21Chad Johnson:No, we had a bingo cat. Look up bingo cat. They look like a... Like a bobcat almost. Similar, but I mean, they regular-sized cats, but they... Bro, they serious. I'm scared of cats. I ain't gonna lie to y 'all. I couldn't wait for us to get rid of him. Man, that little old cat. I thought you had a tomcat or a tattie. No, no, no, no, no. But he was big. He was big.

15:49Shannon Sharpe:Because them orange cats, if you got an orange one, they be on demon time.

15:53Chad Johnson:I feel like a cat can get out on you at any point if he really want to. Oh, yeah. Hey, that joke will stick to you.

16:01Shannon Sharpe:And you can't drop him. And no matter how close you put a cat to the ground and you hold him by his leg, that joke going to land on his feet. Because he twists his body. His head goes one way and his body goes another. That's why he has his backbone. He's so flexible. Yeah, man. No, I ain't trying to fool with no lion. Definitely ain't trying to fool with no leopard.

16:29Chad Johnson:Ooh!

16:30Shannon Sharpe:I mean, how human being going to be the lion or going to be the leopard or something, and they take down a thousand-pound Cape buffalo. They take down a gazelle. They take down a kudu.

16:41Chad Johnson:Hey, maybe we can play with some cubs, though. They got some cubs, some little cubs or something.

16:45Shannon Sharpe:Well, you want to stay at one of those resorts where you're out there, is the opening, you know. Yeah, and the giraffe and the zebra come up to you, Joe.

Hey, nah, we gonna be straight, Joe. You with me, Joe. You know, the animals, the animals ain't gonna attack me. Why is that? Why is that? Huh? I'm the animal. I'm the wildlife whisperer. Okay. Yeah.

17:32Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I'm out of the truck, boy. Hey, I see some wild dogs. I'm listening to whatever they say, dude. Yeah. Because, you know, sometimes the cheetahs will jump on the truck, jump on top of it. Yeah, they sure do.

24:23Chad Johnson:I don't know. I'm going to run through.

24:26Shannon Sharpe:Here's our fifth one. Let's take a listen.

24:34Ocho and Steel. Yes, sir. What do they do, man? Watching this show for the last three years, man. I want to see this. It's the best podcast in the game. My question is for the big three. How do y 'all know when I got you a good lady? How do y 'all know the lady you're talking to right now is the one? And my second question, and go to Ocho. Can you explain that NFL highlight clip of you talking on the phone and you telling them call the National Guard? Salute. And Joe, you got to stay on the show, man. We need to have you on the show. We cannot let you go for football season, man. Keep Joe on the show, man.

25:16Chad Johnson:Hey, listen.

25:17Shannon Sharpe:How do you know, Joe? How would you know you got a good one?

25:19Chad Johnson:That shit take time, Ocho. It does. You ain't going to know right away. I mean, it's going to be something that's going to attract you to her. Yeah. But it take, I think it take about six to eight months for you to really know. Six to eight months? Oh, boy. You think it take longer than that? Boy, way longer than that. You got some women that can play the long game really well, Joe. But you'll never know what you got until you're seen in all her seasons. Six to eight months. Joe, you got to see her happy. You got to see her sad. You got to see her angry. How she react when she angry? You got to see it when she got money, when she broke.

25:58Well, it's so many different phases. You got to see your people in to actually see if they really that one. Joe, if you got it now, what happens? Think about the scenario. What if you was to lose it all? What if you wasn't able to provide? Is she still going to? It's so much. In six, eight months ain't enough. Boy, it takes years to accumulate to be able to understand if that's really. Hold on, hold on.

26:18Chad Johnson:So in six to eight months, you won't have no idea what you're dealing with? Joe, you know how good they play the game? I get that, Ocho. I get that. But I feel like if you got a good sense of character, you know what I mean? Like, I don't know. I just feel like in six to eight months, bro, you can kind of tell whether you want to continue or whether you want to discontinue. Ong, what you got? Joe, no. Sleeping hot?

31:38Chad Johnson:oh that's always possible

31:41Shannon Sharpe:now we could work on some things I know I'm a very flawed individual. I know I have my ways. I'm not the easiest person to deal with, to get along with, and that's by design.

32:00Shannon Sharpe:Because I know you'll love me at my highest, but would you stand beside me when I'm at my lowest?

32:05Chad Johnson:Hello.

32:06Shannon Sharpe:As Ocho said. So those are some of the things. And like Ocho said, I agree with you, Ocho. You don't really know. I don't give a damn if it's 5 years, 10 years, 15 years.

32:21Shannon Sharpe:Do we really know?

32:27Shannon Sharpe:Are we sure? Are we 1 ,000? But you know what? Sometimes you just got to say, you know what? Hey, God, let your will be done. Whatever you see fit. Because that's the risk that we take. That's it. I mean hell we we're talking about us we have so much more skin in the game we got so much more at stake it is what it is

32:57Chad Johnson:oh I ain't saying it's easy it's hard now hell no yeah

33:36Shannon Sharpe:we gotta deal with that Joe you gotta deal with some trauma there's some level of trauma or somebody, and maybe he said something, maybe you said something similar, and it triggers. No, baby, that ain't me. Don't punish me for what he did.

34:02Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

34:04Chad Johnson:Yeah, okay, yeah. I ain't never did that. But they said it a slight way.

34:06Shannon Sharpe:Oh, you probably talking to one of them bees.

34:08Chad Johnson:Right, that's what I'm saying. Like if you don't, you know, it's been times, you know, if you don't answer the phone, you know, Who you was on the phone with? Right. Or why it take you so long to call me back? Well, damn. Damn, they question you like that, Joe? I'm saying, man, in my day, Ocho, I done... Nah, nah, nah, you said that from experience. What I'm trying to tell you is I done had some situations like that, Ocho. Right, right, right. Yeah, Joe, you need to put your foot down, Joe. huh you need to put your foot down Joe don't let nobody question you like that

34:46Shannon Sharpe:I keep telling you guys

34:52Shannon Sharpe:love is worse than death because why it's the only thing that'll keep you alive you wish you was dead see there's nothing else to feel once you're dead you wake up the next morning but a heartbreak

35:11Shannon Sharpe:you don't put all your eggs in one basket don't put all your eggs in one basket because you trip on your way to the market you lose everything I remember that how do you how can you truly truly love if you're not all the way in

35:34Shannon Sharpe:it's tough man it's tough it's tough It is. Hey, Uncle. What was that? Joe, outside of your parents, your kids, your grandparents,

36:37Chad Johnson:Mm. Mm. Well, that was some good information for him.

36:43Shannon Sharpe:Well, hey. I hope he answered his question. You got something else on Joe? No, I'm saying we were giving him ideas on the individual who posed the question. And about that Patriots thing, we were playing the Patriots. That was 1996. We were beating the brakes off of them. and the fans started talking. Y 'all know Ben Colts. He went to Livingston. I went to Savannah State. I'm a year older than Ben. We're good friends. And the Patriots fan was talking about Colts was better than me. So I was like, you know what? I was out of the game. The mere fact that I'm on the sideline, I should tell y 'all, we are beating hell out y 'all because I'm over here and not in the ball game.

37:27Shannon Sharpe:And that's what I just picked up the phone. I don't know what possessed me to say. I just knew we was in Boston. then I knew about the Revolutionary War and all that other stuff and the Tea Party. So I was like, you know what? This would be a great time. And it took off like wildfire. I didn't think anything about it. I got an African dress from what is that? Martinina? Need my dog Ocho to get this drip on.

38:57Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but I tried. I tried, yo. Rob, for me, ISO, did you ever have a chance to play with the Lakers? And can you train my son? He's a shooter but needs to learn how to get to his spots.

39:11Chad Johnson:No, I never had a chance to play with the Lakers. They must be here in Georgia. I guess they ought to be. I could teach them a little something, something. I could teach them a little something.

39:25Shannon Sharpe:Mr. Arrogant Black Jeep Black Sheep Jay Reed and Knee Deep Lagos Got the sweep Sam LeGrand Shangoon Lamb in his tomb Rockets or Doom Pull out the brooms Lagos and Fo Do Love Jontae Howie Is the apex Man Howie be wheeling and dealing And you know what's so good about it? Jeffrey Lewis, who's the owner, stayed the hell out of his way. Big Mike won. Talk to them. Goat James. Man, hey. 29, what, 29, 13, and 6.

40:08Chad Johnson:At his own pace.

40:10Shannon Sharpe:Browns winning the draft, y 'all. Raising the floor for the offense with the O-line wide receiver room. Yeah. That McNeil Warren pick was a steal. Browns going to be scary. All depends on how well the quarterback plays. There you go. Deshaun, old fellas, which era do you think had a better party scene, the 90s or the 2000s? Which era? Yeah, 90s or the 2000s. Had a better party scene?

40:35Chad Johnson:Party scene. Yeah, I was never on the party scene. That's better equipped for y 'all. I wasn't really partying like that in the 90s, but in the 2000s? Hell, Joe, you was a teenager. You better not have been partying like that. Yeah, I wasn't partying like that at night, but in 2000s? Shh. What? Hey, Joe, you used to be outside, Joe? I used to be outside, Ocho. I used to be outside.

41:00Shannon Sharpe:I wasn't outside. I was a little bit outside.

41:03Chad Johnson:I was a little bit outside. Yeah, yeah. Me and the homies, we...

41:06Shannon Sharpe:I'm just glad there wasn't no camera phone.

41:08Chad Johnson:Ooh. A lot of us would have been caught up back then, boy. I want to experience that nightlife. Nah, you don't want to experience it now. Nah, nah. No, you done got too old.

41:23Shannon Sharpe:You far gone, now. Stay your ass inside. I mean, I just want to see what it's like, man, to be, you know. What's so appealing about it? Everybody's so excited to go out every weekend.

41:35Chad Johnson:Well, in the 2000s, Ocho, me and the homies, we was out chasing. I ain't going to lie to you. You hear me?

41:40Shannon Sharpe:For sure. What you were chasing, Joe?

41:42Chad Johnson:Yeah, you know the dog going to chase the cat. Stop playing.

41:44Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, absolutely. Okay, okay, okay.

41:46Chad Johnson:Yeah, we was out there chasing. In fact, wild dogs, hey, you don't run fast.

41:49Shannon Sharpe:They just run long. They just tie you out.

41:51Chad Johnson:Try and see if you can get something new. You hear me? I don't know what they know like something new now. Yeah, I hear you, Joe.

41:59Shannon Sharpe:Out like a scout on a new route.

42:04Yeah, I don't really know much. I don't really know much. Boy, you got eight kids. No, he tried.

42:09Shannon Sharpe:You weren't chasing. And all of them was born in the 2000s. Nah, but see, that wasn't chasing. Those were all planned. It doesn't matter. Are they all about the same woman? Okay then. That's all we need to know. That's selfish. Why would I do that? Exactly. Why would I be selfish? I don't know what you was, but that wasn't the same one. So you were chasing. No, they were chasing me. Well, clearly they caught you. Come on. Hey, hey, I ain't holding the cash now. You damn sure ain't put up no resistance. I tried, I tried. I tried. I tried. He tried. Because they definitely ain't getting out on the front.

42:50I made them wait. Second date.

42:53Chad Johnson:Second date. Oh, Joe, you already told me you do it on the first date. Oh, when? Oh, it depends. It depends if they pay. If they pay, they can get it.

43:04Shannon Sharpe:I just never met any of them. Hey, Joe, I come with a menu and all, Joe. Yeah. But they already know. They already know what they and feel for us. Hey. Hey, an experience. Yeah. Hey, when you go to the fair, right, you expect the ride, you expect experience, don't you? Huh? You ain't got to be here for a long time. I just came with this man. Huh? I don't know, Joe. I just, look, well, you ain't going to experience that with me because I already know. You and Joe go out, Joe, tell me about it. I don't want to be on no party scene with him. We're going to go to the Serengeti. We're going to go somewhere like that.

43:54Count me in. You have to understand, wherever you take me, the energy is going to be awesome.

44:00Shannon Sharpe:That's what I'm afraid of. I don't want that energy. That's what I'm talking about, Joe. I don't want that energy. Hey, can you imagine us in the Serengeti and them goddamn Lions and Buffalo? They see me? Boy, it's going to be a party out there. He would have been fun to go with because you already know. Ocho the party started.

44:18Chad Johnson:Yeah. Yeah, you already know it.

44:20Shannon Sharpe:Ocho gonna get his crunk.

44:23Chad Johnson:Look, look. Hey.

44:27Shannon Sharpe:Hey, everybody. Hey,

44:32everybody.

44:32Shannon Sharpe:I already know the party started. Get that thing crunk.

44:34Chad Johnson:He gonna motorboat that thing. Yeah. Hey, right there in front of everybody. Hey.

44:39Shannon Sharpe:Hey. You gonna let your girl get all that? And you ain't wanna participate? So I already know what Ocho doing. Yeah. Ocho the party star. Now that's the old me, man. That's the old me, man. That's you. That's the old me. R-P-E forever. The way LA playing versus AKC without possibly a J-Dub, it would be very scary the next round if Luka and AR comes back the next round. I think it's more probable if the Lakers were to advance that AR comes back. I don't think Luka's coming back. I think the earliest Luka probably would be back would probably be game three, four of the Western Conference Finals if he comes back there.

45:19Shannon Sharpe:They say in four to six weeks.

45:21Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah. I don't see him coming back, but I do see AR coming. I can even see AR playing next game.

45:29Shannon Sharpe:If not, at least if they don't close out, hopefully they close out on Sunday, but if they don't close out, I definitely see him playing game five.

45:37Chad Johnson:Yeah, for sure.

45:40Shannon Sharpe:Mr. Arrogant 35, man. And Afritsun Shingun, Crab Rangoon, King Tut in a tomb. Lakers with the broom.

45:51Shannon Sharpe:Big Gang, Houston Rockets, Spacely Sprockets, KD Burner counts out of pocket. Lakers in five. That was a good one. Juice 1976. Oh, you should be in the Urban Dictionary. You create famous saying worldwide. Lakers in five, also Goat James. he probably got that patented too actually I gave Lou Williams the name Lemon Pepper too did you? yeah he said he wouldn't copy he wouldn't patented it

46:26Shannon Sharpe:Rob Powell said since Michael Movie is out what's your Mount Rushmore MJ songs? oh shit oh my goodness that's a good one that's a good one

46:46Chad Johnson:probably human nature tell them that is human nature why why why

46:56Shannon Sharpe:the earth song would definitely have to be one yeah earth song

47:10Chad Johnson:he got so many damn classics too many too many I like PYT oh man pretty young thing

47:25Shannon Sharpe:what's the last he had a song I forget on the Thriller album I think it's it might be the only song that didn't go number one

47:39Shannon Sharpe:what's it say man you got me I got me looking up the songs now

47:45Chad Johnson:there's so many I remember when I was a kid watching Thriller they used to scare me oh yeah oh yeah

47:58hey Rock With You was the jam

48:00Chad Johnson:I want to rock with you.

48:09Shannon Sharpe:You know what? I like Smooth Criminal too.

48:11Chad Johnson:Oh, yeah.

48:14Shannon Sharpe:Smooth Criminal, A, and Dirty Diana.

48:17Chad Johnson:Dirty Diana.

48:19Shannon Sharpe:You never make me stay, so take your weight off of me. I was too blind to see. Yeah.

48:27Chad Johnson:He won't seduce me.

48:28Shannon Sharpe:he said that's okay man bike man look I think you know what it would be harder I think it might be harder to find a Mount Rushmore Prince songs than Michael Jackson

48:41Chad Johnson:oh yeah

48:46that's that's two iconic artists and they really missed they really missed when it came to creativity Doves Cry, Adore,

48:58Shannon Sharpe:Erotic City, Blast Life, Under the Cherry Moon, I'm going to just say Purple Rain. Purple Rain, Controversy, Sign of the Time, Raspberry Beret, Pink Cashmere, International Lover,

49:24Computer Blue, When you hear HBCU band play, that goddamn purple band. It go on. Joe, oh my goodness. And I mention it over here all the time. The fifth quarter, Southern University versus Alcorn State. They going back and forth. I forgot what year it was, but man, Southern played that, not Southern. Yeah, I think it was Southern. They played that goddamn purple rain. Man, Joe, I damn that by through my phone, Joe. Joe, I damn that through my phone, man. Man, that sound came out. I was like, what the hell?

50:14Shannon Sharpe:Boy, that shit was beautiful, boy. Pink cashmere, the beautiful ones. You were so hard to fight. Oh, man. I can't listen to that song, man. because, you know, bring back too many memories.

50:28Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah.

50:29Shannon Sharpe:Terry G said, oh, you got to stop getting so emotional when talking about, I guess he talking about Goat James.

50:34Chad Johnson:Yeah.

50:38Shannon Sharpe:TS Carly Detail Service. KD, playoff timeline is horrible. Great Beasley interview. ISO, you think Dame going to come back this playoffs? No.

50:47Chad Johnson:Hell no. No. Dame ain't coming back this playoffs. No. It is interesting to kind of see what kind of team they're going to have come next season when he does come back.

51:01Shannon Sharpe:They're going to try to make a move if they can get Giannis to sign an extension. I read today that Portland would be interested in Giannis.

51:08Chad Johnson:But he has to have some interest in Portland.

51:10Shannon Sharpe:Yes. But you got to say, I mean, you know, without an extension, without him signing an extension, ain't nobody trading for it.

51:17Chad Johnson:No. No.

51:19Shannon Sharpe:Because why would I trade for him and have you for a year? And then you up and leave and I done gave up all these assets.

51:24Chad Johnson:I don't see him going to Portland, though. I'm sorry.

51:30Shannon Sharpe:And plus, you appreciate that Beasley. Yeah, that Michael Beasley. People have been loving that interview.

51:34Chad Johnson:Ooh, hey, hey, but that's what I'm talking about. Hold on. My bad. Hey, that's what I'm talking about. You see how, boy, y 'all had me on there unpacking some stuff that I ain't had to unpack before I be on there boohooing. Come on, Joe.

58:08For us, soccer... Football. ...is a story we've shared for over 30 years, since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team. Very debatable.

59:44Shannon Sharpe:The GOAT 2022, Rockets blew this game at the end. Jabari, bad pass. Tate, bad foul. Reed getting picked. These boys underperform it. They can't shoot. No point guard is a bad recipe for the player. You got to have somebody that can keep you calm, keep you poised, that you want to put the ball in his hand because you know he's going to make the right decision. And if they file him, he's going to go to the free throw line and knock the shots down.

1:00:09Chad Johnson:I agree. I agree. I agree.

1:00:11Shannon Sharpe:But you got what you got now, Joe.

1:00:14Chad Johnson:Yeah, ain't nothing you can do.

1:00:15Shannon Sharpe:I would love to be able to eat Wagyu. And I'd love to have a nice, but that ain't what I got.

1:00:21Chad Johnson:Yeah.

1:00:22Shannon Sharpe:You gave me scraps. So I got to eat scrapple.

1:00:24Chad Johnson:There you go.

1:00:25Shannon Sharpe:I got to eat potty meat. I got to eat vienna sausages. That's what I got.

1:00:29Chad Johnson:I don't have KD.

1:00:31Shannon Sharpe:I don't got Van Fleet. And I don't have Steven Adams. So I can't tell – yeah, I mean, that would be lovely to be able to have that. But I got to go with what I got, Ocho.

1:00:43Chad Johnson:Yeah. Yeah. Hey, you got to hope somebody – you got to hope them guys step up, which I didn't think they played bad. It's just the last minute, bro, was horrible. Yeah, they fumbled it.

1:00:56Shannon Sharpe:Hey, guys. If Luka was leading the team and Bron and AR was injured, do you think the Lakers would be up 3-0? I believe they would be down 0-3.

1:01:07Chad Johnson:Ah.

1:01:08Shannon Sharpe:I don't know. They're really different players.

1:01:11Chad Johnson:They are, bro. Like, you know, Luka can pass that thing too. He can pass and score just as well as LeBron. But I don't know.

1:01:21Shannon Sharpe:It's just something about LeBron's leadership. It's for me, I think the biggest thing is, because Luka can score. Luka's averaged 33. LeBron's never averaged 33. He's led the league in scoring twice.

1:01:31Chad Johnson:Yeah.

1:01:32Shannon Sharpe:You know, we know he averaged, what, eight rebounds, eight assists. He does that. But LeBron's leadership, I think, for me right now, is the difference between these two.

1:01:41Chad Johnson:I agree. I agree. It's like he knows when to get guys involved, and he knows when to be aggressive. Luka just going to come out. He going to get you. Hell, he probably going to have 25 in the first quarter. You're right, Joe.

1:01:59Shannon Sharpe:or definitely looking to get 25 in the first quarter.

1:02:02Chad Johnson:There you go.

1:02:04Shannon Sharpe:John Doe, I bet you$100 Jamar Murray starts throwing heat packs next game. Yeah, he gets frustrated. They're doing an unbelievable job. Rudy Gobert is doing an unbelievable job.

1:02:22Chad Johnson:or Nikola Jokic.

1:02:24Shannon Sharpe:I've never seen, I haven't seen in a very, very long time somebody make him this inefficient. Yeah. I remember the last time when they played many, many years ago, they lost to the Warriors and LeDray Mondia, but he wasn't the player that he is now.

1:02:45Chad Johnson:Nah. Hey, you gotta get Jay McDaniels his credit too because he called them boys out.

1:02:51Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah. He said, we going at everybody. Everybody that's on the court, we going at him. I'm talking about he balling. And he's doing a number on Jamal Murray.

1:03:00Chad Johnson:For me, if Jay McDaniels play well, it's going to be hard to beat the Timberwolves, bro. Yeah. It's going to be. He's been playing his ass off.

1:03:14Shannon Sharpe:Almighty James, all Kaminga needed was a chance to play. That's it, bro. Well, if he's going to be consistent and play like this, he'll get more opportunities to play.

1:03:22Chad Johnson:Yeah. And I think Coach Quinn Snyder's system is perfect for him. Like, you know, Coach Quinn, he's great with his players, a players coach. And like he said, all Kamega needed was an opportunity, bro, and he's been flourishing, you know, especially in his first round. The Knicks don't have an answer for him.

1:03:45Shannon Sharpe:Oh, who's the guy you played in the league with the never got a chance to start, but you seen potential in practice. No, they're going to give you a chance. You're balling in practice, they're going to give you the chance, but that's the problem. And then they're going to say, well, why can't you do what you do in practice? Why you can't do that in the game, what you do in practice? In the game. Everybody get their shots. Oh, yeah, you're not finna just go out there and ball out crazy. I was one of those guys. I was seventh-round draft pick, balled out and crazy. Hey, let's see if you can do that in the game.

1:04:16Shannon Sharpe:They put my ass in the game. I made a few plays. Okay, let's put some more on this plate. I ate that. That's how it is. No, no, no, no, no, no. People might say that in college where the coach ain't like me, or they might say a high school coach ain't like me. No, no, no, no. NFL, they trying to win. Because coaches realize if they don't win, they going to get there and so fight it if somebody else will be coaching the team.

1:04:38Chad Johnson:You have to go. Yeah.

1:04:42Chad Johnson:Absolutely.

1:04:45Shannon Sharpe:Who that? someone please tell Ocho you can't win in Knicks colors just ask Nate Robinson versus Jake Paul. He was wearing the Knicks trunks. I know. He said, Ocho, man,

1:05:09Shannon Sharpe:Nate started this. Hey, we got a long way to go now. We got a long way to go. He got a kidney, right?

1:05:17Chad Johnson:Yeah. Yeah.

1:05:19Shannon Sharpe:I'm happy for it. I think his dad had it too. His dad got a kidney, had a transplant. If he ever shout out to the Big Three podcast, grabbed me through a rough year last year with being sick and not walking. I'm back better than ever. Many blessings to y 'all. Thank you, bro. Appreciate that. Man, I appreciate that. Sorry that you had to go through that, but you're better for it. Well, congratulations, man. And we really, really appreciate that support. Love the show, guys. Never miss one. Can you shout out Delaware? That's where I'm from. Unk. You like the Ravens pick at USC, Jacoby Lane. He's a stud.

1:05:55Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, Delaware. Actually, I might come to Delaware because my boy Matt Reif, he invited me. Told me to come up there and hang around. Matt, funny boy. You got some soul food? Because, you know, y 'all don't be, you know, salt and pepper. Y 'all don't be buying any of that. I like the – look, they need a big receiver. They need a guy that can go in there. Look, the one guy that they can consistently count on is Zay Flowers. That's the guy that consistently – they need other guys. I don't know what happened to Bateman last year, Ocho. He took a step back. He just did. Ain't nowhere around it. He did.

1:06:30Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. We'll see what happened next year. Yeah, I don't know if D-Hop is coming back. I don't know if he's moving on, but they need some pieces. Obviously – D-Hop was on the one year. He back in with Baltimore? I don't know if he's going to come back or he's going to move on. Okay, okay, okay. I think likely, Isaiah Likely, I think he's at the Giants now, right? Yeah. Okay. Go Birds 800. Hey, I don't think you know our city in Memphis so well, but Beasley said good things but was wrong, said our city's ghetto. Driving 30 minutes to have fun is crazy. ISO would know being from Arkansas.

1:07:17Chad Johnson:Yeah. What they saying about Memphis?

1:07:19Shannon Sharpe:I'm just trying to figure out. Look, I understand every frog gonna praise his own pond. But I've heard far more negative things than positive things about Memphis. I don't know. I've only been to the airport in Memphis.

1:07:31Chad Johnson:Nah. That's why I was telling you. I was telling you on Ocho some of my episodes back that I used to go down there for Memphis in May. Like, it used to be cracking down there. Like, you know, So I think... Then what happened? I don't know. I really don't. I stopped going. I stopped going. But Memphis in May, everybody used to go to Memphis in May, bro. It used to be like that. Let's see. Hell, the violence. Memphis in May. But they make it seem like...

1:08:02Shannon Sharpe:Well, guess what they're going to say? There's violence everywhere. And there is. But if you're a professional athlete, you ain't really trying to be in a situation like that. and some of the who that they got who rapper got killed in Memphis Ocho

1:08:18Chad Johnson:Dolph he from Memphis

1:08:23Shannon Sharpe:I asked and I have a lot of entertainers that come on I say bro why when guys make it out why I gotta die in my hometown

1:08:34Chad Johnson:jealousy and envy bro

1:08:36Shannon Sharpe:why I should be able to be treated like a king when I go to Glenville. If I can't get treated with royalty, Ocho, if you can't get treated with royalty nowhere else, Memphis is supposed to show you love. Little Rock is supposed to show you love, Joe.

1:08:52Chad Johnson:Right.

1:08:53Shannon Sharpe:Glenville, Georgia, Savannah, Georgia is supposed to show me love. I can't get that there? Like James Brown said, I'm amongst my people and I can't get no love?

1:09:02Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah. You feel like if you can't get it there, hell, you can't get it nowhere.

1:09:06Shannon Sharpe:I ain't going nowhere.

1:09:07Chad Johnson:Yeah.

1:09:15Shannon Sharpe:I just look, like I said, I don't know anything about Memphis. Look, LeBron said what he said. People have said it. I don't know how far you got to go to party. My partying days are over, so I ain't got to go nowhere. I get off the show, I take my black ass upstairs, and I go to sleep. That's my party. My partying days are over. I'm sure every – like I said, every frog girl praises on pond. I mean, if you're from an area, I'm sure people from Chicago feel like Chicago is safe to them. People in New York feel like New York is safe to them. So I just feel like people in Memphis are going to say, hey, Memphis is a great place.

1:09:51Chad Johnson:Yeah, if you're from there, yeah.

1:09:55Shannon Sharpe:Kevin Boatnight, ISO, if Unc was your grandfather, he would have walked in your room and be like, who are you talking to, Click? $1 ,500 phone bill? But see, that's what it was. I'm trying to think. the roaming charges wasn't that bad then, Joe. When I first got the phone in the early 90s, you had a roaming charge. So, like, if you went outside of where you got your phone registered at, that was roaming.

1:10:21Chad Johnson:Yeah.

1:10:22Shannon Sharpe:You had to pay for that, and it'd be like$4 a minute.

1:10:26Chad Johnson:And if you, hey, just imagine you being on there 45 minutes to an hour just talking and holding the phone, talking to your girl. You know how time fly by?

1:10:36Shannon Sharpe:Fly by. Hey, call me after 7 o 'clock when the minute's free on the weekend. If you call me, don't you call me? Because you know they have peak hours.

1:10:46Chad Johnson:Yeah.

1:10:47Shannon Sharpe:Don't call. I ain't asking. Demonte Walker, I need my prayer warriors, please. I'm the biggest grandma boy ever, and I'm so hurt. I came home, worked, and found my grandmother passed away in her bed on Wednesday. My big grand support sister, my superhero. I'm so hurt. Demonte, bro, we said our thoughts and prayers. Our deepest and deepest and most heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family and all those impacted by this tragic passing. I know. I can only imagine you fighting her, hearing how you speak so profoundly about her. Man, we hurt here at NICAP. We hurt for you, bro. But be strong.

1:11:32Shannon Sharpe:And it won't get easier. you'll deal better at time, but guess what? The man upstairs, he needed more than you did. That's why he called her home. What? Damn. Y 'all disrespecting this Ty Simpson heavy. He was a Heisman candidate at one point. Yes. Don't let him wind up and another Jalen Hurts make y 'all bite your tongues. We said that. We said he played really, really well the first six, seven, eight games and then he dropped off. Two things can be true. He was a Heisman Trophy candidate. But will you agree with us that he looked terrible the last three to four games? Yes or no?

1:12:24I mean, it's like, it got to be this.

1:12:27Shannon Sharpe:Bro, it happened. He did play good. He did. and what's the guy that went to Seattle? You know he was there and he couldn't beat him out. What's the guy that Jalen Milrow?

1:12:50Chad Johnson:Where he at now?

1:12:52Shannon Sharpe:Seattle. He didn't get to play last year? No. In front of who? Right. Hey, Cabalot, what's up, y 'all? today is my birthday. I turned 23. Can I get a birthday shout out? Any advice for a fresh 23-year-old? Congrats on two million subs. Absolutely. Happy birthday, Andy. Happy birthday, boy. Happy 23rd, boy. Hey, go get you some of them toys I've been talking about. Nah, nah, nah. Get you a swing set. Where you gonna put it at? Tell your girl, huh? Hang that up in the mama house if you want to. He's 23 here in college. He can put that in the dorm room. What about his roommate? Oh, they got to go.

1:13:40You know, listen, you know, in college is when you do your best experiment.

1:13:45Shannon Sharpe:Is it? Oh, yeah. I don't know about that, Ojo. Hey, listen, man.

1:13:52Chad Johnson:College, first time you out on your own, huh, Ojo?

1:13:55Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I ain't never been on what you call him, though. I ain't never been on Night Hour with Ojo.

1:18:21Shannon Sharpe:you have to look at the situation there is no ties Diana Rossini does not work for the Patriots Mike Brable does not work for ESPN those situations look at the situation that you're talking about I think you're talking about Sharon Moore I think you're talking about Mel Tucker and I think you're talking about Aimee Doka I think I could be wrong Chad and so if I'm wrong y 'all can correct me Those situations are totally different Those are people that work At that institution Now in some situations they have it You can't do that With employees you can't If you're a coach you can't mess with another employee Or subordinate

1:19:11Shannon Sharpe:There's no really Now Now, Diana Rossini, she's going to have to take that up with her husband. Mike Braybill is going to have to take that up with his wife. But I don't know. So what is it? It's a moral issue. Morally, you're looking at it, you've got two married people, two married consenting people engaging. But I don't know. I mean, so what do you fire Mike Braybill for? So what is it that he did? What law or code? There's an ethic. I mean, some colleges have ethics or codes. So what code did he break? He broke his vows. Like I said, that's between him and his wife. That's between him and God.

1:19:57Shannon Sharpe:They're not the same.

1:20:03Shannon Sharpe:Just being honest, guys. Y 'all know when we write, I'm going to stand for right now. but I just don't see the correlation between that and that. Yo, King Iso, a fan, a number one fan. I appreciate that, bro.
