In short
Quentin Richardson and co-hosts debate NBA MVP “politicking” (Victor Wembanyama), then discuss NFLPA report card findings on 49ers training staff, plus a long Q&A covering player identity/side hustles, facilities, and sports/pop-culture takes.
Guests
Quentin Richardson (former NBA player; appears as the main guest). Other voices are the show’s hosts/co-hosts (Uncle Ocho, Uncle Joe, and “Uncle Lazer”/others), but no additional guest identities are clearly specified in the transcript.
Key claims
- Richardson says Wembanyama shouldn’t campaign publicly for MVP; “let your game do all the talking,” and he doubts Wembanyama is MVP “this year,” though predicts multiple MVPs within five years.
- On the 49ers: John Lynch used NFLPA report cards showing poor grades for training staff; players wanted more one-on-one attention, leading to adding three PTs and investing about $9M in hydro/pool/related recovery areas that graded low.
Notable examples
- Training-facility discussion compares elite recovery tech (cryo, infrared, hydro treadmill/cold plunge) and contrasts with older locker-room setups.
- Q&A includes favorite cities to play in (L.A., Dallas/Memphis, New York/Brooklyn, Kansas City, etc.) and basketball movie rankings (He Got Game, Above the Rim, Love & Basketball, Space Jam).

3:07Shannon Sharpe:Quentin Richardson doesn't like Victor Wimby-Yama trying to politic his way to an MVP. I like everything about Wimby, but I didn't like that. Big Feller, your game is doing all the talking. I don't feel he should have had to go up there and politic to prove why he's the MVP. Now, I also say he's not the MVP this year, as GA is. My era really wasn't like that. We wouldn't go up there and say, I should be the MVP. We would be like in the locker room, what is he doing?
3:34Chad Johnson:Right, right. It's different times, bro. It is. But I definitely agree with Q. You got to let your game do all the talking. Let your game do all the talking. I ain't with that neither, Uncle Ocho. You know, you out here politicking for yourself. Man, your job is to put your skills and talent on display, and then you let the fans, let the voters do the rest. You know what I mean? But, yeah, he ain't going to be MVP this year, but I promise y 'all, boy, in the next five years, I wouldn't be surprised he had two or three of them things. Yeah. Hey, Joe, you don't like that, Joe? Him politicking for us.
4:11I mean, obviously it is politicking, but you just said it. Putting your game and your skill on display. He do it every night, every time he out there. So just throwing that out there just a little bit, you know, to add a little seasoning on the flavor, you know, based on his game and what he's already doing. He's showing what he can do on the offensive end, on the defensive end. Hell, he hella deal with. Yeah, he is. No doubt about that. Let me tell you about it a little bit, huh? Let me tell you about it a little bit.
4:38Shannon Sharpe:Oh, you're running for public office should you politic. hold up a sign. Vote for me. I'm your candidate. A vote for Sharp is a vote for success.
4:48Chad Johnson:Right. Hey, you know Ocho, he played that wide receiver position, man. You know they divas. Well, Uncle might be considered a little wide receiver too, huh? Yeah, Uncle Diva, I don't like the word that they use. I hate that moniker, but I mean, anytime, Joe, you got any type of personality any type of individualism you know yeah uh you you outlandish you know you express yourself in a way that they don't see fit they use the word diva i i don't i don't like the word because it's it's it's when it's connected it's a negative connotation that's attached to it because when it's a team sport now if you're a boxer or golfer or somebody right right right right you know it may be a little different especially for a boxer yeah you got a campaign for yourself but when you play in a team sport i think it's just a little different because i don't care what you say you need your teammates.
5:39Chad Johnson:Yeah, absolutely. I think that's why it kind of gets frowned upon. Yes, it's a bad rap. I don't like the word.
5:47Shannon Sharpe:They make it seem like wide receivers are the only ones that need their teammates. The quarterback needs a teammate too, but when he fires, he's like, oh, that's passion. When we do it, it's a problem. I get it. Ocho could have said, let's effing go all the time. What is he doing over there? That's a malcontent. He's trying to fire his teammate up, One is frowned upon, one is smiled upon. Yeah. Yeah. But I get it. I get it. Ocho, this is going to be right up your alley. John Lynch said the 49ers dug deeper into the NFLPA report card in which team training staff grades were relatively poor. The 49ers found that players wanted more one-on-one attention.
6:26Shannon Sharpe:So guess what they're doing, Ocho? Hiring three more PTs, investing$9 million in hydro areas, clove punch, and pools, which had graded low at the team facility. okay, this is why I don't want them out, because they don't want that report out there. Instead of like, man, I can't believe they did this, they did something about it. What did the NFL do? See, the NFL don't want no negative grades, so they suppressed that. Whoa, whoa. So we're getting rid of pro football focus grades. That's an independent party. Ocho, I want us to get back in good graces with the NFL, so I'm going to shut up. Listen, I'm picking up what you put down, but obviously this is this is a good thing this is a good thing for the players obviously you know um when it comes to the 49ers they already have a bad rep you know when it comes to injuries they've had a bad injury history yeah you know over the years um obviously i like what fred want to say when he came on the show we were down there in san francisco and debunking the fact that it had anything to do with uh the the power plant the fire plant that is sitting adjacent he just said obviously it's Football is a barbaric sport.
7:34Injuries do happen. But what the 49ers are choosing to do and adding three PTs and improving some of those things to see if they can help reduce some of these injuries that they are having in season is a great thing. It's a good thing.
7:54Chad Johnson:My bad. They don't already have all this, Uncle Ocho. They have it, but they're adding more. Yeah, I would have thought they did. that goddamn Bengals facility, you hear me? I don't know how much money they pumped into that. Hey, Joe, the locker rooms, I ain't never seen nothing like that, Joe. Man, look at me. I ain't never seen nothing like that, boy. It looked like you, it looked like, I don't even know how to explain it. I don't even know how to explain it. I just, I've never, because what I'm used to when I walked in the locker room, Joe, you know, and when I went in the Bengals locker room now, like today, I'm like, man, it's almost unfair.
8:30Chad Johnson:Oh, Joe. It's almost unfair. Hey, you ever been to the Hawks practice facility, the one they got next to Emory?
8:36Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I've never been to it, but I saw it. I went and looked at it. I was like, okay, y 'all did it now.
8:42Chad Johnson:It's nice, Joe. Oh, man. Ocho, every time I go in there, because I do a lot of work with the Hawks, I get pissed off every time I walk in there.
8:51Shannon Sharpe:Why y 'all had it when I was here?
8:53Chad Johnson:Man, when I was playing here, we got one. Listen, at the arena, at State Farm Arena, It was called Phillips Arena back in the day. It's one small practice court inside the arena. That's what we practice at every day, bro. Like when I walk into their practice facility now, Ocho, I'm talking about state-of-the-art, partner. You hear me? I'm talking about everything, the bells and whistles, they got it. I'm talking about, man, listen, I'm thinking about getting me an intern with the strength and conditioning coach, man, just so I can go in there and work out. You know what I mean? And keep the guys right.
9:24Yeah. What? I want to be nosy I should have asked somebody how much Mr. Brown and the Brown family poured into the training room, the locker room, the weight room the nutrition the cafeteria it's like walking in some five star hotel when you talk about the bells and whistles with all the lightning all the charging stations the charging stations the players lockers everything all lit up with the name and I'm like, what?
9:56Chad Johnson:Big old comfy chairs. Oh, man. They got a good - Hey, Joe. Unbelievable. Like, the training room with the pools and the - I mean, listen, I didn't spend no time in the training room. The only time I went in there was at halftime to get the IV when it was hot because I would always cramp on my calf muscles. Yeah. I mean, I was jealous. I was jealous. I am too. I am too. I ain't going to lie.
10:19Shannon Sharpe:I've been there. Yeah. It's - Man, look here. They got all these dip tanks and infrared and - Yeah, yeah, the infrared thing. They got cryo, yeah, they got all that. The Broncos got like two or three cryo tanks, and they got all these infrared saunas and infrared beds and stuff to put on your head. I still don't understand that. They got those cold plungers. They got like three, four cold plungers. They got saunas, steam room. Hey, you understand that? They got three of those infrared, what you call it? Infrared saunas. Yeah, they got the bed and the saunas, yeah.
10:51Chad Johnson:What the hell, what is that for? It's to help to, it's to help your like red blood cells for recovery. Okay, Ocho. So it's like giving your red blood cells a shot of espresso. Yes. You know what I mean? To kind of wake them up.
11:05Shannon Sharpe:It speeds up healing.
11:06Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah, yeah. It speeds up. Hey, my favorite one is that hydro tub. When they got the treadmill inside that. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:14Shannon Sharpe:You getting that water, you can get on that treadmill. Man. It takes all buoyancy so ain't no pressure. Ain't nothing on the knees, the ankles, the joints.
11:22Chad Johnson:Hey, I can run on that thing all day. You hear me? Hey, Joe, that's for when you hurt, right? When you hurt and you're coming back from injury? Well, it ain't necessarily when you hurt. You can do it for recovery because, you know, just being in the water, it's recovery. So they should make us get in the pool. Like, we on the road. They'll wake you up early in the morning, make you go to the pool and just walk around in, like, five feet of water for, like, 20 minutes. That's an act of recovery. Okay. So to have a treadmill under the water, like, I mean, that was everything, bro. Hey, look, I was always fascinated.
11:52Chad Johnson:I hated that thing. Did you?
11:55Shannon Sharpe:Cause you know, the way it was set up, because you had a current. So you had a current going against you. Yeah. And so you, yeah. Yeah. Look at turn that thing down. Let me, hey.
12:09Chad Johnson:Hey Joe, did you like the cold tub, Joe? I ain't like it, but I used to do, I used to do the hot and cold contrast, Ochoa. Yeah, hey, Joe, I love that cold tub, boy. You know, my crazy ass, I would wait till people be in the cold tub, and I'd wait till they all in there, and I'd go jump in. I'd cannonball in there. Hey, they used to hate that, Joe. Hey, we be fighting in the cold tub. That's the first thing we tell you. Hey, man, don't get in here splashing all that water, man. You need to sit down and be still.
12:35Shannon Sharpe:Because when we first started, you know, our cold tub was trash cans. Huh? Tartrofs. Yeah. No cold plunge, no taste like that. Sit your ass in a big ass, one of the rubber made trash cans. You serious? Yeah.
12:53Chad Johnson:Yeah, I remember that.
12:58Shannon Sharpe:Damn. At home, that's what I did. I went to a farm store, a feeding store, and got me a couch ruff.
13:06Chad Johnson:Yeah.
13:06Shannon Sharpe:At home, that's what I had.

19:54Chad Johnson:Already. Already.
19:56Shannon Sharpe:Here's the second one. Let's take a listen to what he had to say.
20:00Chad Johnson:Hey, it's the famous Never Bust Again, bro, in the Nightcap Discord. But, hey, let me talk my stuff real quick. Hey, kind of nervous, but no, I'm just kidding. Never nervous. Check this out, though. For you guys touring in San Francisco, would you guys return? And would you guys have LaRusso perform again? I felt like he really put on. And to be honest, man, like the Bay Area, we have a lot of undiscovered talent out here. I'm from Sacramento, but I want to shout out my boy who I just met yesterday, Suso916, man. Hey, put on for Sac, put on for NorCal, bro. That's how we do it out here. You see that, bro?
20:38Chad Johnson:I know you guys are shaved smooth as butter, man, because you guys got rich people money. So you guys don't have an inch of hair on you. And I know like Ocho, he said he's going bald. I know Sharp's got his beard. ISO's got his facial going on. But, hey, man. Hey, I'll be honest with you. The best way to go, I don't even know what the hell I'm talking about.
21:02Hey, he just like me, Joe. Just be talking. Hey, yo, man, he's making no sense.
21:10Shannon Sharpe:It sounded good to him, though. Here's the last one. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. Yeah, family. I want to appreciate y 'all to respond to my video and putting it up for the show last night.

23:23Shannon Sharpe:How could I get better at my craft? Once I was done with football, you transition. Study your ass off. Learn as much as... Obviously, I can't just talk football all the time. If I'm going to be on television and do a debate format, you're going to have to be able to talk about other things. When you go on someone's podcast, they're going to ask you about a lot of different topics. You're going to have to be able to seem like you're intelligent enough to have a conversation about a lot of different things. For me, I studied as much as I possibly could. I love sports, so obviously things that I wanted to do kind of wanted to be centered around that.
23:58Shannon Sharpe:But you got to find, like Ochoa said, you got to find something that you're passionate about, something that doesn't feel like works, something that you want to spend time. And, bro, I don't know what you do in your off time, but you're going to have to spend more time doing things that you want to get good at. And that you say you want to make money at, that's going to have to be a part of it. because you can't like, oh, I want to go to the club with the homies and I want to kick it and I want to do this X, Y, and Z. You're going to have to become very focused and very centralized.
24:28Chad Johnson:Sacrifices, man. Got to make some sacrifices. Oh, yeah. Hey, I agree with both of y 'all. You definitely have to find something that you enjoy doing. You know what I mean? And I'm talking about put your head down and get to work, bro. Put your head down and get to work. Eliminate all distractions and focus on you and what it is you're trying to accomplish for sure yeah i mean we come here we do this uh this
24:54Shannon Sharpe:uh tomorrow be is six straight nights six straight for real hey hey but it's fun though i is that's it yeah i didn't realize and you you build something you know you're passionate about it and you know when i talk about when i talk about for the most part i like to think that we talk about things that we all three of us are passionate about right it ain't no man man joe don't really want to talk about this. Ocho don't want to talk about that. Okay, we don't want to talk about it. If we can't be passionate about it, let's not talk about it.
25:22Chad Johnson:Right, right.
25:23Shannon Sharpe:Because if we're not passionate about it, the people that's listening to it, they're not going to be passionate about it. They're not going to have an opinion one way or another.
25:29Chad Johnson:Right. Exactly.
25:31Shannon Sharpe:And so we want to create content that people are like, man, you heard, I don't know if I agree with Ocho on this one. I don't know if I agree with Uncle on that one. I think I'm going to agree with Joe. I think, and that's what you want to have.
25:42Chad Johnson:Yeah. If people are not talking about you or talking about the conversation that you had,
25:50Shannon Sharpe:but still, even if they're talking about you, you've got to be somebody for somebody to talk about you. Yeah. Yeah. So just keep grinding, bro. Since the kid 19, what's up? Unc Ocho King. I saw a question for you guys. Which city in the league did you enjoy playing in as an opponent? Unc Ocho, who was your favorite teammate you ever played with?
26:14Shannon Sharpe:What city you like playing in, Joe and Ocho? Oh, you say favorite city? Yeah, as an opponent, in what city in the league did you enjoy playing in as an opponent?
26:27Chad Johnson:I got a couple, man. Yeah, go ahead, Joe. I would probably say I enjoy playing in L.A. You know, the stars always come out of L.A. You never knew who you was going to see on the sideline. I enjoy playing in Dallas, Memphis, because it's close to Little Rock. Right. In those states, there's a lot of people from Arkansas that I know that live in those states. So I get a chance to really, when I go to Dallas or when I go to Memphis, I get a chance to really hang with guys who I genuinely grew up with. I'm talking about I've been knowing since I was six, seven years old. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
27:04Chad Johnson:So we get a chance to catch up, you know, talk hoops or the things that we're going through. And I just feel like that's always cool, man, because growing up, I ain't going to lie to y 'all. Like I was I was always inspired to be an NBA player. But, you know, when you 11, 12 years old, 13 years old, it take a while before you can actually really see that big picture. You feel what I'm saying? So to be able to have these moments, bro, to be able to make it and be a professional for 18 years and get a chance to, you know, my best friends live with me for 12, 13, 14 years. is for them to be able to experience it as well, that's probably some of the coolest stuff.
27:42Chad Johnson:So I enjoy going to those cities. And also playing in New York. New York is fun, as always, to make a basketball. And man, even playing in Brooklyn was super fun for me. But playing in Madison Square Garden, same thing again. Stars come out, bright lights, big stage. Nothing better than that.
28:05Shannon Sharpe:Kansas City. San Diego, and then Oakland. Now the field, cause you know, Oakland had that -
28:15Chad Johnson:Baseball field.
28:17Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah, actually so did San Diego. Yep, I played on both of those, I remember.
28:22Chad Johnson:How's that playing on fields like that?
28:24Shannon Sharpe:Run the face so damn hard, Joe. It's hard, Joe. Man, I used to hate when they run it, you slipping the slide, cause you can't, cause the police are not gonna go into that hard ass field. Yeah. Man, let me run this stick right on the other side on the grass. I remember that. You don't want to get tackled on it because it's going to scar your ass up.
28:44Chad Johnson:You ain't want to get tackled in that dirt. You ain't want to get tackled because that thing's hard. Hey, Uncle Joe, I played against Jerry Rice and Tim Brown in Oakland on that baseball field. And I played against Ryan McNeil and Junior Seau when they had the baseball field in San Diego. I played on both of them.
29:08Shannon Sharpe:But my favorite stadium to ever play in, Kansas City. Because they nothing like those fans. Yeah. They fanatic. 80 ,000 fans and all red. And it's loud. Oh, mother. Jeez. Man, look here. When they used to come out, man, they introduced the defense. Yeah. And they let DT come out of that thing last.
29:35Chad Johnson:You couldn't hear nothing.
29:36Shannon Sharpe:Boy, that joke is come running, running, running. Because the Chile, the way they had it, man, that joke come around that goal post.
29:52Shannon Sharpe:And they get the rocket because back then, they weren't an offensive team like they are now. They were defense. They had Priest Holmes and they had Trey Green. They weren't an offensive team. They were defense. Yeah. Boy, they get you backed up. and DT walked back there to the end zone where you backed up at, and he's talking about, y 'all want that? Boy! Buckle up. He coming. Buckle up. He coming.
30:20Shannon Sharpe:Joshua Petition, 59-57. Shout out from the Ghouls. Ocho, where's the Ghouls? That's in Miami? Yeah, that down south. Okay, Celtics, Hyenas. I ain't worried about Shea and his dogs what you need to worry about yourself i ain't worried about the celtics either y 'all need to worry about who over there y 'all y 'all ain't got nobody worried about in the east throwing the celtic yeah i don't know though i ain't hold up you like detroit you like in detroit hold on i'm saying they ain't got enough firepower over there huh can philly if philly can keep if they can stay yeah but the thing is joe can imbead play every other day
31:01Chad Johnson:the other day. That's something he's going to have to think about. I mean, if they got him on the floor, he ain't got to give you 30 every night. Man, his presence alone is going to be a distraction. It's going to be able to free guys up like Maxie and Edgecombe and Paul George because he's going to demand a double. I don't care what nobody say. Oh, for sure.
31:28Shannon Sharpe:Weed, hustle, love, respect. Mike, I heard you talk about George Girvin last night. How do you feel about Caleb Williams trying to copyright the name Iceman? I guess it's fair game, but damn, Caleb.
31:39Chad Johnson:Yeah, I did see something about that. I guess they both fouled kind of like at the same time for the trademark. I thought he'd already had it. Talking about Girvin? George Girvin, yeah, Ice. Yeah, I did too. I think it's a lot going on with that because I know Iceman, George Girvin, And, you know, him and Drake, I think they was about to really do something big with that. Because, you know, Drake, I think he was going to come out. Or if not, he probably still coming out with an album called Iceman. Yeah. So I think they really got some real affiliate. And he was probably trying to trademark and knowing that, you know, that name really going to be worth something.
32:14Chad Johnson:But Caleb, I didn't even know why they called Caleb Iceman.
32:17Shannon Sharpe:Because he got ice in his vein. All those clutch throws that come from behind victories.
32:21Chad Johnson:This postseason. Man, he know he got to come up with something else. I'll go with Joe.
32:24Shannon Sharpe:Hey, he better come up with Sub-Zero or something. Hey, Sub-Zero. Hey, Abel went Iceman. Hey, they're talking about, well, I thought Chuck Liddell. Man, George Gervin was Iceman before Chuck Liddell was born.
32:39Chad Johnson:You hear me? Hey.
32:42Shannon Sharpe:What, Sub-Zero? Yeah, he better go with Sub-Zero.
32:49Chad Johnson:He number 13.
32:50Shannon Sharpe:Hey, Caleb, you can take Sub-Zero.
32:52Chad Johnson:If he wore number zero, he probably would. But he, what, he 13? No, what is Caleb? Caleb? What number he wore? What number Caleb wore? Is it 13? He might be 13. I think he's 18. Oh, 18. Yeah, man. Damn. Yeah, I thought Ice probably would have been getting paid off that already. Because the first time I ever, I knew who he was.
33:21Shannon Sharpe:that pitcher. I remember I went to a shoe store. He was sitting on blocks of ice and he had the balls. He had the balls and he had Iceman.
33:32Chad Johnson:Yeah. You ever had a conversation with him? No, my brother played golf with him a lot. He funny as all get out. You hear me? I'm talking about my boy. I spent a lot of time with him last year. Super cool dude.
33:49Shannon Sharpe:Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy. All right, fellas, rank these basketball movies. Loving Basketball, Above the Rim, He Got Game, Space Jam. Damn. Damn. He Got Game, Loving Basketball, Above the Rim, Space Jam.

Was I blind to the truth? Yeah. You better fill the space, because now you have no interest in anything that I have to say. Yeah. I've allowed you to make me feel. Yeah. I feel so dumb. What kind of fool am I? You so easily. Bad.
35:07Chad Johnson:Oh, no, that's hard. That's hard. I ain't gonna like that.
35:10Shannon Sharpe:If she come close, I've probably seen that woman in concert probably seven, eight times. Anytime she come close, I go see her. I go see her. Man, I went to see her one time. I think I might have been the only straight guy, but there wasn't nothing women up in that thing. I saw her at the tabernacle, Joe, in Atlanta. I saw her at the tabernacle. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

36:10Chad Johnson:learning mannerisms

36:27Chad Johnson:Ballers. Ballers. Yeah. It's just like that. Maybe a little bit worse.
36:32Shannon Sharpe:You see the NFL say, nah, nah, we don't want that no more. Oh, yeah. It's just like that. Maybe a little worse. Man,
36:40Chad Johnson:how they take that out bro i didn't miss an episode of that bro uh what's this how powerful the nfl is
36:47Shannon Sharpe:oh yeah they don't play they don't play they don't play do you do do you want do you want football or you don't want it hey hey that's exactly how it is some some of the scenes would be exaggerated it's not exaggerated at all and i love hearing the story joe because even during that time even when I was young, even when I was in my prime, I don't enjoy the nightlife. That's not what I do. I don't drink. I don't party. I don't want nobody stepping on my shoe. I'm very sociable, but not in that kind of environment.
37:19Chad Johnson:It made no sense. But one thing, when them boys came back from the club the next day, and I love hearing the stories in the offseason, I love it. I love it. Oh, man. Hey, can you smell that look on them when they out there running? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. In the huddle. When they running, in the huddle, Joe.

50:23Hey, that flew right over y 'all head.
50:30Hey, that was a good one. That was a good one.
50:32Shannon Sharpe:Cali, one, two, three, four. It's time to have a conversation about Nate Amit. I don't see a lottery pick at all. I think that's the guy from Tennessee.
50:41Chad Johnson:No, I know exactly who you're talking about. Yeah, the guy from Tennessee, he's a freshman, freshman phenom. They had him projected as a lottery pick. He got off to a slow start of the season. I watched a lot of Tennessee play, too. Then he picked it up. And then he looked like, because with that 6 '9", with that 6 '9", frame, being able to handle LaRock, you know, go off the dribble, can shoot the three, shoot the mid, he can get to the basket. I mean, the potential that he has, that's basically what they're going to be drafting on, Uncle Ocho, like his potential. Like he'll be, he'll probably be, if not a lottery pick, he'll be in the teens.
51:16Chad Johnson:You know, just some raw talent that needs some work. I think he definitely got great upside, though.
51:23Shannon Sharpe:Steven Johnson, Uncle Ocho Joe. Y 'all just got a shout out. Need a driver to take you to the hospital within the next 10 minutes. Who are y 'all choosing as your driver, LaMelo Ball or Tiger Woods? Keep in mind, they must drive in a higher than me. I'm good. There's a good chance we ain't gonna make it either way. Hey, that's funny. Damn. Yeah, I don't know. Tiger definitely needs to get in with driver.
51:49Chad Johnson:Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to roll with LaMelo. I ain't gonna lie to you. Yeah. Damn. Hey, Joe, y 'all gonna run into something. I don't know what, but you gonna run into something. Yeah, Tiger gonna flip the few cars.
52:03Shannon Sharpe:You gonna run into something with Tiger, too. You gonna probably end up on your side.
52:11Shannon Sharpe:If I messed up, I ain't gonna be able to crawl out the window or the sunroof.
52:14Chad Johnson:The one thing I say, I'm glad we can sit here and laugh about it, because what Tiger done could have been a lot worse, fella. Yeah, man.
52:21Shannon Sharpe:Tiger gonna definitely have to slow it down.
52:23Chad Johnson:Yeah.
52:25Shannon Sharpe:And like I said, whatever he has going on, you know, he passed the sobriety test where, you know, he blew the breathalyzer in zero. But considering that wasn't good enough for them, they're probably assuming that he has something else in his system.
52:41Chad Johnson:There you go.
52:42Shannon Sharpe:I don't know. I didn't see any photos of him. So maybe in conversating with him, maybe he had slurry speech.
52:50Chad Johnson:That's what they said. Huh? That's what they said. They said when they was talking to him, he looked like he was under the influence or something, but they said it definitely wasn't alcohol.
53:00Shannon Sharpe:Okay. TS Carwise Detail Service. Y 'all think Kristoffer Zingas is a good fit for the Warriors going forward? He can't stay healthy. I mean, he can't stay healthy. He got this thing that's going on now with him. He's with the Warriors or he's with the Hawks now, Joe?
53:19Chad Johnson:Nah, he's with the Warriors. Warriors. Come on. I seen him play. I think I seen him play one game, and he looked decent. Hey, man, shout out to my guy, Moses Moody, man. He tore his patella tendon. Patella tendon, man. And it was that.
53:33Shannon Sharpe:Did you see it? Because they showed up, and he had that indention in his knee?
53:37Chad Johnson:They were playing in Dallas. I'm watching the game. Yeah, he went up for a dunk. I'm watching the game. He went up for a dunk, bro, and he gave out. And look, that's typically how you tear your patella. I'm fixed trying to explode. You don't tear your patella how I tore mine, somebody running into you. You know what I mean? That's why when I went in there and I got looked at, he was so puzzled when he found out how I tore mine. He was like, what you trying to do, explode, go dunk? I was like, no. I said, man, a dude ran into me. He kneed me in my quad and tore my patella tendon. Damn. Damn. Yeah, so I hollered at Moe's.
54:10Chad Johnson:I sent him a message. He had surgery. He said it went great. So hopefully he'll have a speedy recovery.
54:18Shannon Sharpe:Go Birds 800. Hey, Unc, can you tell us your best Jerome Brown story, true legend? I never played against Boogie. Unfortunately, rest his soul, he passed the year that we were going to play them in 92. So he passed, and they dedicated that season to him. They got off to a great start, but they weren't able to sustain it. They had a really, really good defense. They had Reggie, had Clyde, Seth Joyner, Byron Evans, E.A. They had Muddy Waters. They had a really good defensive team. Mike Golick was on that team. But Boogie, man, he was –
55:02Shannon Sharpe:he was going to be special. He was going to be special. He was the one that started that tradition of great D-linemen at the University of Miami. Because after him it came Tez, and then you had Sapp, and then you had all those other guys that came along out of there. But Boogie started it.
55:18Chad Johnson:Okay.
55:19Shannon Sharpe:Well, I mean, I guess you could say that. But I think Jack Youngblood went to the University of Miami also. That was way before everybody's time. He played in the Super Bowl to broke a leg, Ocho. Luschano number seven. Some fellas, I watched Ocho's training session on Insta the other day. You got to challenge Aiso to a soccer session, Ocho. Something got to give, twin. Nah, I'm going to beat Aiso at what he do. I'm going to beat Aiso at what he's been doing since he was a child. I'm going to be ISO at what he reflected his craft at and played at the highest level and created the moniker ISO. Because when I beat you at your own thing, you know that it's going to make you feel this small.
56:00You hear me?
56:00Chad Johnson:Yeah. It's going to make you feel small, Joe. And one thing about it, you ain't never played against nobody that got the gif-a-gab that I do when it's time to compete, Joe. I'm going to be in your head, boy, Joe. I'm going to be in your ears, Joe. I'm going to be in your nose, Joe. Hey, I'm going to have you so flustered. You ain't going to know what to do, Joe. You're going to want to fight me. And when you want to fight me, Joe, that means I got you out your game, Joe. Hey, hey, Ocho, I'm way too composed for that, homie. I ain't no emotional dude. Like, you ain't going to, you know what I mean?
56:27Chad Johnson:You ain't going to trick me out of my spot. The shoulder, the forearm, the elbow, the hip. Yeah. When you get through playing with me, I promise you going to feel like you've been in a heavyweight fight, partner. Hey, hey, Joe. Ribs going to be hurting. Hey Joe, can I tell you something? Go ahead. I put the ball on the floor every time. What do you mean? Hey, I play with my back to the basket, Joe. Huh? Oh, Joe. You hear me? Oh, Joe, you too small, man. Oh, here we go. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. And I'm gonna keep it real. I'm too tall to be playing small, homeboy. And you know what I mean? I'm really tired of bumping guns with you.
57:07Chad Johnson:For real. For real. I'm really ready for this action. And see, you can see as my tone start to pick up, that means you starting to piss me off. And when I get pissed off, Ocho, you know how I get. Don't piss me off tonight, Ocho. Hey, I like that. I like that. I want you pissed off because I know when you pissed off, that means I'm in your head. And if I'm in your head, that means you're going to be dead. Joe, this ain't what you want. When I'm pissed off, Ocho, when I'm pissed off, they just make me lock in a little more. You know what I mean? Joe you locking in when I got the key what sense that make you locking in and I got the key Joe huh what we talking about Joe you not gonna out talk me you hear me hey hey no that's not gonna happen hey what's wrong with you bro I'm good I'm good I ain't take my medicine okay alright I'm gonna get to you there
57:57Shannon Sharpe:be more cow big three what one thing you would change about the NFL or the NBA oh Joe what you changing about the NFL yeah I mean I mean honestly even as an offensive player I would allow I would love for the NFL to go go back to hat it once was for the defensive players so they're not as handicapped as as it once was so they allow the play a little bit better more so the defensive backs and safeties that's that's one small one small thing one or two things either guaranteed contracts or Lifetime health benefits if you play five years. I don't care if I know that I'm going back the way it was.
58:38Shannon Sharpe:I'm talking about getting money for lifetime benefits. Yeah, well, I already said that if I was an NFLPA, so I addressed that before a long time ago. What you doing, Joe?
58:47Chad Johnson:What you going to change about the NBA? What I'm going to change about the NBA?
58:55Chad Johnson:Honestly, I really don't know, Uncle Ocho. I think the game is in a pretty good space and place right now with some of this young talent coming in. I'm not sure what I would change. I like the pace in which the game is played now, the up and down pace.
59:14Chad Johnson:Honestly, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I can't think of nothing right off the bat what I would change.
59:21Shannon Sharpe:Every day is the deception. Oh, you said please subscribe or you'll make Ocho cry. I subscribe, but Ocho's still crying. What's up with that? Hello, just kidding, Ocho. I'm glad you picked the right animal mascot. Go blue. That's how I picked it.
59:40Shannon Sharpe:Clifford Busby, go Illini. Please, haters, just shut the hell up. Don't speak on Illinois if your team is going to be at home like you watching the Final Four. Oh, man.
59:50Chad Johnson:Oh, man. That's cold. That's cold. Shout out to Illinois, bro.
59:56Shannon Sharpe:Mike and Mike, what's up, big three? ISO, would you ever go coach your hogs? and still.
1:00:02Chad Johnson:And still what? And still lost. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Huh? I'm just gonna hit you by that and still. That's over and done with the man answer question. Can I answer the question? Okay, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. Man, look, look, I'm always in some form of capacity, Uncle Ocho, I'm always gonna be there for my hogs. You know what I'm saying? Coach, I don't know, but they know if any time, you know, they need me, all they gotta do is hit my phone. I don't mind going up there, spending a little time hanging with the fellas, giving them, you know, teaching them the ropes, showing them how to be a pro because college is a professional sport now.
1:00:38Chad Johnson:And what better guy to have go back outside of, you know, former pros like myself or guys that are still playing who went to the university? I think we have somewhat of an obligation to be able to come back, man, and have our presence around to where, you know, because as a kid, I don't know about y 'all, but when I was a kid, 16, 17, 18, 19, I had a lot of questions, bro. And if I could talk to a guy who played the professional sport that I'm trying to play, man, I'm taking that all day long. I'm taking that all day long. So I had guys like Corliss Williamson who played for the Razorbacks, won the national title, played in the NBA, won an NBA championship with Detroit Pistons.
1:01:24Chad Johnson:Like, I've been knowing him since I was in high school. So getting a chance just to rap with him, get some game from him, you know, it makes you want to work even harder.
1:01:36Shannon Sharpe:Allen Fletcher, 23, what's up, guys? How's it feeling when you can't make a basket like UConn missing threes tonight? They made the one that count. Yeah.
1:01:46Chad Johnson:Yeah, it's demoralizing, bro. It's demoralizing, though. You know, because you worked so hard to get to this point of the season, you know, to get in the postseason, to get in the NCAA tournament, and then you get that role and you can't make shots that you normally make on a day-to-day basis, I think that's the most frustrating part.
1:02:07Shannon Sharpe:It is. Varys 117, Ocho, is 23 too late to getting back into football? If not, any advice where to start trying to make it to the NFL? Did you even – do you play high school ball? Did you play college ball? College. and you gotta you gotta you gotta be special too you hear me it got to be something special about you dude but y 'all know what it is right huh it's it's you know some cats don't know how to take the
1:02:36Chad Johnson:game serious until it's taken away from them and then they come back at like 22 23 24. yeah and trying to go pro in whatever sport it is and it's just a lot harder hey that i'm talking about way It's hard.
1:02:49Shannon Sharpe:It's easier to get in and stay than it is to get out and get back in. I love it. Yeah.
1:02:58Shannon Sharpe:T-Lock 243, stay blessed, Chad family. Chase your dreams. Don't walk after them. Know that you are the one that you've been waiting for to make the difference. Hope that everyone has an amazing week. Much love, Aiso, Ocho, and all. Appreciate that, man. Appreciate it, bro. Yes, sir. Chase them. And they should shock you. because if your dreams don't shock you, it ain't big enough.
