Nightcap Hour 3: Troy Aikman speaks on the DOLPHINS + Q and Aaayyyyy

10:29Chad Johnson:Yeah.

10:30Shannon Sharpe:My thing is, if you hire somebody to do a job, are you going to let them do the job? If you hire somebody to do your roof, you're going to be out there telling him what he should, how he should do it? Are you going to let the mofo do it, Ocho? Joe, you hire somebody to do a job in your house, and you're out there telling him, well, you should have did it.

10:48Chad Johnson:Right, right.

10:50Shannon Sharpe:If you're telling him what to do, why are you paying him this money? When you know what to do, just do it yourself.

10:56Chad Johnson:Yeah.

10:57Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. But like you said, Ocho, we'll see if they get the right pieces, if this is the right coach, if this is the right general manager. They clearly didn't believe. They believed that they were bloated. They believed that their quarterback and some of the other pieces that they have, they weren't going to win. And they went for it. Give them credit. Steven Ross believed. Look, let's go for it. I'm going to sign Tyreek. I'm going to sign Bradley Chubb. I'm going to sign a lot of these guys. It didn't work out.

11:28Chad Johnson:Yeah.

11:29Joe Johnson:Yeah. They starting from scratch, boy. They absolutely start from scratch. They super, duper scratch. It's going to be a rough, what, one or two years, Joe?

11:39Chad Johnson:They ain't been saying that, though.

11:41Shannon Sharpe:Because they got all that dead cap money. Yeah. They got Tyreek's money. They got Chubb's money. They got Tua's money. Did they trade Minka Fitzpatrick? They traded somebody. They got a lot of other money out there. So you got$100 million in dead cap money.

12:03Chad Johnson:Ocho, your guppies, your guppies gone.

12:05Joe Johnson:Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Hey, listen, listen. My Dolphin and your Cowboys in the same boat, homie.

12:11Chad Johnson:No, no, no, no, no. We in the same boat.

12:14Joe Johnson:We are not in the same boat as them guppies. Don't do that. Joe, when the season ended, y 'all was on the same couch

12:21Chad Johnson:we was on. What did you talk about? Ocho, you know y 'all starting over. Ocho, come on, stop it now. We got some promise over here. OK. Oh, no. Don't do that. 30 years and you still took our promise? You been trying to get our wide receiver since the season been going on. Hold on. You still got promise after 30 years? You still believe that? Yeah, we got a decent team. We gonna be alright? We just need a little help defensively.

12:46Joe Johnson:Yo, you have a decent team every year, Joe. Y 'all say the same thing every year, Joe. You talk about delusion? This is part of it, Joe. You part of the problem.

12:56Chad Johnson:Nah, nah.

12:57Joe Johnson:You being naive.

12:58Chad Johnson:Now you naive with them damn Bengals. That's who naive. We better than y 'all? That's a damn lie.

13:04Joe Johnson:We better than y 'all?

13:05Chad Johnson:Nah, hell nah.

13:07Joe Johnson:Okay, we'll see this year. All right. We gonna play y 'all this year? I would hope not, Joe. I would hope that's not what you want.

13:14Chad Johnson:Well, I bet the house. I know we gonna run mud hole in y 'all.

13:17Joe Johnson:Who gonna stop Jamar?

13:20Shannon Sharpe:Joe. Who gonna stop T? The Cowboys are faced with an approximately between$175 and$182 million in dead cap money, which is about 58 % to 60 % of their total cap space. Tua, Hill, Jalen Waddell, well, they still got him. And, oh, no. They traded Jalen Waddell to the Broncos. So Tua, Hill, Waddell, and Ramsey. So guys are not even on their team eating up their cap space. And Tyreek Hill too, right? Yeah. Yeah. Tua, Tyreek Hill, Jalen Waddell, and Jalen Ramsey. Damn. That's crazy. The most ever was$127 million in 2022. So they're over almost$60 million clear of that. Damn. Tua is$56 million in the dead calf space.

14:17Shannon Sharpe:Waddell is$26 million. Bradley Chubb is somewhere between$10.9 million and$20 million. and also with Tyreek Hill and Jalen Ramsey. Damn. So basically, over the next couple of years, they're going to have to build this thing. They're going to have to hit it out the park, Ocho and Joe, with their draft picks. And they draft picks, yep. When you got that kind of deck, you can't spend no money in free agency.

14:42Chad Johnson:Who they got the quarterback this year?

14:46Shannon Sharpe:They signed the guy from Green Bay.

14:49Chad Johnson:Malik Willis. Yeah, Malik Willis.

14:51Joe Johnson:Yeah, we got Malik Willis. Yeah, who he got to throw to? Ocho. Tutu Atwell. Tutu Atwell, Washington, you know, some other guys. I mean, no disrespect, just some guys. Some guys, you know, they're decent. You know, it ain't no Justin Jeffersons, no Jamar Chases, nothing like that. We have a good core receivers. We still need a dog, though.

15:15Shannon Sharpe:You do.

15:16Joe Johnson:You need a dog. Because you look at what Malik Willis was able to do in Green Bay when Jordan Love went down and understand the success he had, but also look at the support and cast he had. Look at who he was doing it with. Exactly. So don't think you sign him and you bring him into the Dolphins to repeat the success he had in Green Bay, but he ain't got the same support and cast.

15:36Chad Johnson:Right.

15:36Shannon Sharpe:Hey, you watch Ballroom Dancing, that guy might be doing his thing, but look at that lady he's doing it with. Because she's doing all those moves he's doing and she's doing it backwards and heels. Ready for a different take on Formula One? Look no further than No Grip, a new podcast tackling the culture of motor racing's most coveted series. Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the underexplored pockets of F1, including the astrology of the current grid. Lewis Hamilton, Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. Wouldn't you know it, Michael Schumacher is also a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. The story of the sport's most consequential driver's strike.

16:12We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricciardo's illustrious F1 career a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better. And plenty of other mishaps, scandals, and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

16:48Shannon Sharpe:Joe, before we go, we're going to tell you about Nikola Jokic. He had a monster game again. 35 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists.

16:59Chad Johnson:Man, listen.

17:00Shannon Sharpe:This season with his back-to-back triple-double. Only Russell Westbrook has been able to go back-to-back with triple-doubles. I'm telling my... All right, it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A. Damn.

17:19Shannon Sharpe:He's going to lead the league in rebounds and assists. I don't know if we've ever seen that kind of combination before.

17:24Chad Johnson:Do you think he got a chance to win MVP? Keep it real. I do. Do you really?

17:30Shannon Sharpe:I do. But I think it's going to be Chet. I think it's going to be Chet, him, and Wimby. As far as what?

17:38Chad Johnson:MVP. You mean Shea? I mean Shea, not Shea. Shea. Shea, him, and Wimby. Shea. Yeah. Yoke, Shea, Yoke, and Wimby. Damn.

17:54Shannon Sharpe:Alright, before we get to the Super Chat, we got another five videos or five voicemails from our Discord. Let's take a listen to number one. What up, Uncle Ocho, Iso, and the Nightcap family. I hope all y 'all know good, healthy. From Louisiana, you heard me. But I got a question for Unk. Because I've seen this YouTube clip on my YouTube shorts. Unk was on TV doing this thing. Man, Unk gonna say, for 50 million, I'll go to hell. I just always wanted to ask Unk, like, what was you talking about? Like, what the hell? What made you say that, bro? I just been geeked ever since Mike, you just been playing back in my head ever since, so I just been wanting to ask you this I think we were talking about a quarterback a quarterback I forget who the quarterback was and we were talking about he's about to get 50 million and I'm like, 50 million does he want to go to such and such a place I'm like, for 50 million, I'm going to hell

19:00Shannon Sharpe:yeah, Sam Darnold going back to the Jets That's what it was. Sam Darnold going back to the Jets. I think the thing is, Ocho, people take everything that we say literally in a literally interpretation. The whole thing is a part of it. It's like, well, I would go pay for that. I mean, sometimes you just got to make stuff entertaining. Yeah, yeah.

19:20Joe Johnson:They don't understand that.

19:24Shannon Sharpe:But they say all the time. I mean, when we talk about these salaries, oh, I'll do this. Oh, I'll be at training camp. I'll be at training camp right now. Oh, I'll play two games. Yeah, I'll play three games in a week. Yeah. But it is what it is. All right, here's our second one. Let's take a listen to what he said in our second one. Ocho, Joe, shout out to you guys.

19:45Joe Johnson:Congrats on 10 million subscribers. And watch you guys since you guys used to sing the outros. Question for you guys. Uncle Ocho, what was the best touch out that got called back? And Joe, what was the foul that almost set you off? And still, King Ocho. King Ocho King Ocho Hey somebody that knows That's what I'm talking about Get it right King Ocho What he said the best celebration What's the best touchdown That you had called back Oh damn That's a good one

20:28Joe Johnson:Oh that's a good one boy I can't even remember any touchdowns. I can't either, Joe.

20:35Shannon Sharpe:I mean, Ocho and Joe. I don't know if I've had a touchdown. You know, I'm sure I have.

20:40Joe Johnson:Yeah, I don't think I've had a touchdown callback. I've had catches callback, but I can't think of a touchdown.

20:47Chad Johnson:Man, hey, he talking about that foul that almost set me off. I can't say it's a foul that almost set me off, but, boy, I was playing in Phoenix, and we came here to play the Atlanta Hawks, and they had Theo Ratliff. You want to feel Radliff on? Yeah. Yeah. He was swole, wasn't he? Swole. Woo. Hey, look, I got in the paint, Ocho, and I gave him a pump fake, and he jumped, and when he came down, he elbowed. He kicked it up with it. In the top of my head? Woo. I'm talking about blood just started coming down the side of my head and my face. I had to go in the back, get like eight stitches, bro, at the top of my head.

21:21Chad Johnson:Damn. Yeah. You were high. You ain't swing on him, Joe? Nah, I ain't swing on him. Hell, I barely even know what the hell was going on. I'm talking about he elbow me. He got them sharp elbows. Yeah. Like the kid. Man, what?

21:39Shannon Sharpe:That's what, you remember what you call him? Karl Malone did that to Zeke. Zeke came down the lane with a layup, put 44 stitches over his eye.

21:48Joe Johnson:44?

21:49Shannon Sharpe:Yep.

21:51Joe Johnson:Yeah, Joe, you might have to wash my elbows when we play, huh?

21:54Chad Johnson:You too little, partner.

21:57Joe Johnson:Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you might well call me Ocho Ratliff, bro.

22:04Joe Johnson:There's our third video.

22:07Chad Johnson:Appreciate you, Nightcap. But, Unc, I'm still disappointed the way you treated that Josh Allen loss. Disappointed. Put your big boy pants on. You need to talk about that. Again, for real.

22:22Shannon Sharpe:Damn, what happened with Josh Allen? Joe, Ocho, we said he had five turnovers. When you're that guy, you can't turn the ball over five times. I said before he turned it over, Ocho, before, he missed the throw. He had a guy wide open. Yeah. And he missed him. Going to the left. Yes, on the over route.

22:41Joe Johnson:On the over route, yeah.

22:42Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, we talked about ad nauseum about Josh Allen playing small. At the end of the day, yes, we know he hadn't had a whole lot of turnovers in the postseason. he's done a great job but not this game i don't know what you want what you want from me what what guys you want more from me he didn't play well we spoke he was the reason that they lost yeah but that wasn't good enough so what you want me to say they should cut it okay buffalo cut josh allen cut it i mean ain't no way to back i know where he should be your quarterback after the way he played, that's unacceptable. I don't know what y 'all want me to say.

23:30Shannon Sharpe:I mean, Ocho, what you got for me, Ocho?

23:32Joe Johnson:I mean, listen, I don't know. I don't know exactly what he wants. Maybe a delivery, maybe the energy in which you criticize him, maybe they want it a little better. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. The reason why I love the game is because of Josh Allen

23:45Shannon Sharpe:turnovers. And I know he hadn't turned him. And I say it. I know Josh hadn't had a whole lot of turnovers in the postseason. He's been I'm really good about that. But not today. I'm not talking about the previous game. I'm talking about today. He had five. He had five fumbles right before the half that led to three points. Interceptions. I know James Cook had a fumble. But Josh Allen, you got the ball in your hands the majority of the time. You cannot play like you played today. We said that. yeah and until he gets over that hump we thought this was going to be his year and everybody else's year because what the guy that stood at the gate and kept everybody away he was out he was out he was hurt yeah

24:42I don't know

24:45Shannon Sharpe:here's our fourth one hey on Ocho ISO congratulations on 2 million subscribers i'm super happy for you guys i'm glad to say i've been here since about january 2024 and i love the content you guys it's great can you guys please give my mom a shout out some prayers she's going through breast cancer right now she's getting towards the end of it um her name is barbara please give her a shout out also shout out my dad who's been her rock uh he's going to be by her when she does her surgery and she can't lift her arms so he'll be there the whole time um his name is johnny and then give a shout out to my sisters d and aisha and my wife lorana they've been amazing helping out my mom give them awesome love please and also please come back to california for your live show we'll be excited to see you guys

25:37Shannon Sharpe:barbara f cancer stand strong johnny uh your son said you've been the rock you've been by her and you're going to be by her while she goes through this and through your love and support and your prayers she's going to be able to get through this to the to the daughters um i think d and aisha i think that's what he said their names were uh uh and if i'm wrong i apologize but congrats but thank you guys for being there for your mom this i'm sure this means the word world to her that you guys have been the rock and been the foundation because this is a very a very troubling time and probably something that she's never had to go through before, but she's not going through this alone because she has somebody that says high looks low, but she also has somebody that's eye level, which is her family, her husband and her kids.

26:26Shannon Sharpe:And thanks to your prayers and the man above that's watching over her, Barbara is going to be just fine. Johnny, we can't thank you enough because, bro, I understand when family goes through things and sometimes it's even harder on the family than with the individual that's actually going through it.

26:43Chad Johnson:Ooh.

26:44Shannon Sharpe:Because you know why? Because ain't nothing they can do. There's nothing worse than feeling helpless in a situation. Man. When your kid's going through something, Ocho, like what's wrong? Why are you crying? You don't know if it's a stomachache, you don't know if it's teething, you don't know, what is bothering you?

27:03Chad Johnson:Damn. Ocho.

27:07Joe Johnson:What's up, what? What happened to him? I don't know. I think something messaged there but I think we still got to chat live again prayers of Miss Barbara Johnny and all family members we will keep on our prayers hopefully everything is rectified in that situation cancer does suck and I hope everything comes out good on that end what we do from here Joe hey Let's look at our last video

28:07Shannon Sharpe:for me. I call that y 'all.

28:11Joe Johnson:That's a good one, especially for me, obviously, who I played with in college and obviously the NFL, T.J. Houshmandzada. I think T.J. Houshmandzada is a huge reason for my success, being that he was able to take some of the attention away from me sometime during those games. He was really, really good being able to manipulate routes, intermediate, short, whether he played on the outside, whether he played on the inside. He was a master. He was a master at his craft. and what he did, and I think most of my success comes because of the attention that he took off of me at times. So that would be my one teammate who's underrated that doesn't get the credit he deserves being that guy.

28:52Chad Johnson:Man, I got two, Ocho. I got two unique guys who played, I would probably say, the same position, and that's Sean Marion and Josh Smith. Yeah, and Josh Smith. Two dudes who I was very close with. You know, Sean, early in my career, especially playing in Phoenix, he showed me the ropes, showed me how to be a pro. He got a lot of family in Arkansas, so he came to Arkansas a lot and spent a lot of time together. Same with Josh Smith. He's like a little brother to me, bro. Like, I know his family well, his pops, his mom. He's also came to Arkansas and hung out with me numerous times. So, you know, I built a bond with those two cats, bro, from playing with them over the years and just having a lot of fun.

29:41Chad Johnson:And man, we had some special times together, bro.

29:48Joe Johnson:Oh, you back?

29:49Shannon Sharpe:I'm back.

29:50Joe Johnson:What's up, what? Where you been at, twin?

29:52Shannon Sharpe:You know, God don't give you the patience that you ask for. He puts you in situations that requires patience. There you go. Yes, sir. So, you know, unfortunately we had a situation as you were. It died. Nobody's at fault. At least as far as I can tell. Because you best believe if they were at fault. This stuff would not have gone well.

30:15Joe Johnson:Yeah, yeah, stuff happened, huh? Stuff happened, man. You know, it's cool. Oh, Lord.

30:20Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. If I'm not mistaken, I think he asked your teammate that you think was the least what? Underrated. He doesn't get the credit he deserves, but he's underrated. I think Rod Smith. Yeah. Yeah. I think Fuss don't get the credit that he deserves. You know, he played in the era where you had Marvin Harrison and you had Reggie Wayne and you had Torrey Holst and you had T.O. and Randy Moss. But he led the league in receiving. He's an all-pro, multiple Pro Bowls. He just played big for us. And to come in as an undrafted free agent,

31:02Chad Johnson:Yeah.

31:04Shannon Sharpe:Be on the practice squad. And then his first catch is a game winner over Darryl Green. And to turn himself, he's the all-time leading receiver in Broncos history. I think. Now, maybe. No, I think. No, I don't think DT caught him. I don't think DT caught him. I think he still has the most catches in Broncos history. But I definitely think Rod Smith Foots is the most underrated player that I played with.

31:35Shannon Sharpe:Jacob Mota much love nightcap fam just brought just thought about for a nightcap outside episode goat Jeremy Wade Ocho are country boys Ocho thinks he can swim with orcas so why not hit the waters with the goat himself you know Jeremy Wade Ocho isn't he like some kind of doesn't he what is he on like National Geographic or something

32:00Joe Johnson:I'm not sure Sure, but when it comes to swimming, I'm like a dolphin out there.

32:07Chad Johnson:I'll smoke you in swimming.

32:09Joe Johnson:Oh, God, here we go.

32:10Chad Johnson:I already know you're going to be like, oh, it's because you tall. Joe, you will not beat me.

32:16Shannon Sharpe:Okay, they be fishing. They be catching. Okay, River Monsters. You know who be catching all them fish? They got teeth and all kind of stuff?

32:23Joe Johnson:Yeah, hey, Joe, I'm a swimmer now, Joe. Huh? You asked about me, Joe. Liberty City, Charles Hadley Championship. You on a swim team? Huh? We made swim teams out there in the hood, Joe. Huh? Off the high dive. I could dive. I mean, whatever you want. Back flip. I mean, with somersault, what you want, Joe? I give you anything. In the ocean, Joe. Joe, this ain't in the lake. It don't matter where it's at. We got gators in the lake. We take that chance. I'm out swimming gators, Joe, in the canal at Opelaka.

32:55Chad Johnson:Honk, I see why you got him on here, Honk. I see why you got him on here with you, Honk. I see why you got him on here.

33:03Joe Johnson:Huh? What you talking about, Joe? This what I do, Joe. You talking about swimming. Joe, you can barely beat me in basketball. Talking about swimming. Stop playing with me, Joe. Don't play on my top like that. This what I do.

33:16Shannon Sharpe:Bossman said, what's a time your family humbled you when your success got high? Also, was your grandfather a big man? Joe, Ocho, what did your family do to humble you when you were at the peak of your success?

33:32Chad Johnson:I ain't going to lie. Okay, Ocho, I've been a humble individual since I can remember, bro. I think it's because, you know, that only child syndrome. I ain't, you know, never, never, my britches never got too big to where I disrespected, you know, anybody in the family, no matter what I had or didn't have. I always respect everybody, bro. I can't, I've never, I can't say I've never got humble, but i've never done nothing you know to be humble to where hey man you need to chill out nah

34:04Joe Johnson:yeah i i was i was never like that i mean obviously those that know me personally uh you you you you would think the perception being being controlled by the media uh the way i was on the field was that was merely a character the the villain and the fun and the antics that was that was just a character that i displayed on sundays off the field i'm nothing like that I'm completely different. So there really was no need for me to actually be humbled. I think God humbled me in a sense where he wanted me to slow down in other areas that had nothing to do with football.

34:34Chad Johnson:Right.

34:36Joe Johnson:He did that and he set my black ass down. Outside of that, as far as just having to be humble when it comes to family, I was always there. I was always there, especially for them in times of need. I didn't allow anyone to take advantage of me. But, you know, where I saw fit and need to give, I did do that.

34:58Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I agree with both of you guys. I mean, for me, you know, y 'all know how I speak about my grandmother. It wasn't nothing. I mean, she tell me to take the trash out and go cut the grass. I'm like, huh? Cut the grass?

35:16Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to go jump on that lawnmower. Hey, I cut the front. Libby, you got to cut the back. I'm like, dang. You got to pay for the house and cut the grass? Lawnmower?

35:32Chad Johnson:Hey, I got my grandpa that riding lawnmowers. Yeah. He ain't want no help.

35:39Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I brought my sister a John Deere. That one ran out, got a snapper.

35:44Chad Johnson:Yeah.

35:45Shannon Sharpe:I have to say, you want a zero turn? What? You got me. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. That's something I've always been. I mean, I know people think, you know, the way I talk on here, but when I'm around family, I'm even killed. I don't yell and scream. I mean, yeah, I have an abrasive personality. But when I'm around family, when I'm around people, this is – I'm different when I'm around family. Yeah. Because I'm the same. Because I'm, you know, the guy, Mr. Joe, his sons, when they see me, they hadn't seen me in a long time. Joe, I'm at the peak of my career. I'm a Super Bowl champ. They still call me Pee-wee.

36:28Chad Johnson:They call me Pee-wee. Hey, hey, my family call me Lil' Joe because my dad named Joe, too. So they always call me, still to this day, call me, Lil' Joe, what you doing? Yeah.

40:14Chad Johnson:Yeah, if you keep going, you won't necessarily lose strength. You just got to be consistent.

40:19Shannon Sharpe:I think I started really like, man, you hit that goddamn 50.

40:25Chad Johnson:Oh, man.

43:36Shannon Sharpe:Titan guy, what's up, Ocho and Iso? Can you guys wish my mom, Earlene, a happy birthday? Absolutely, Titan guy. Earlene, happy birthday.

43:47Chad Johnson:Happy birthday.

43:48Shannon Sharpe:I went to a high school with a lady named, her name was Earlene Faith. Yeah. We were in the same class, yeah.

43:54Joe Johnson:Hey, you never know. Ask them if that's her last name.

44:00Shannon Sharpe:Happy birthday to you. I doubt it.

44:03Joe Johnson:I think. Happy birthday to you.

44:09Shannon Sharpe:Brendan Crowe, what's up, Nightcap? What's your favorite moment on the show in the last few years and did you guys envision the show growing to what it is and what it has. We did envision, but just not this quick. Yeah. Mm. Because the original premise of the show, Ocho and I was going to do a quick recap. The show was only supposed to be 30 minutes long. Yeah. 45 at the absolute max, but mainly 30 minutes. Really? So Ocho and I were going to take the three big games, the Sunday night game. So we do Sunday. Let's just say we do Sundays. We're going to take the Sunday night game. We're going to take the big game on Fox.

44:49Shannon Sharpe:We're going to take the big game on CBS. And then we'll talk about another game that was important. We were going to decide, okay, Ocho. If we couldn't decide on one, we would take two games. So really, theoretically, we were only supposed to talk about four. Now, four was the absolute max. Five was the absolute max, but mainly three to four games.

45:09Chad Johnson:Yeah.

45:11Shannon Sharpe:And then somehow, Ocho made me tell one story. It did, that was all she wrote. And Joe, it was downhill from there. It was downhill from there. And it's like, man, you guys need to start to stick to football. And the people are like, man, we need more stories. We need more stories. And so according to term, come for the sports,

45:36Chad Johnson:but stay for the stories.

45:38Shannon Sharpe:and now over two hours three hours yes yes yes but in the original in the original format the show was only supposed to be 30 minutes on the low end the absolute max the show was supposed to be was 40 minutes 45 minutes it was and yeah one time to do the show three days a week so the show was going to come on mondays thursdays and sundays that was the only time the show was supposed to come on so we were gonna follow nfl we had no idea like okay then we like what about when football go off like okay i guess hey and so here we are and you know we started talking track and field like oh like man i like track and field his daughters run track yeah i love track and field it's my favorite sport to sit down and watch.

46:32Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And we were able to parlay that. And we got young men and women coming on talking about it. We got a ride come on and we got me. We had some, we got Vernon Norwood. We got the team that came on Shamir little. And we had all those people coming on and we have guys that broke record swimming. And so it's, it's turning to this. Yes. Yes, Ocho and I thought, we thought that it was going to take us about three years. I said, Ocho, let's give it three years. I think in three years, we'll grow because we started from scratch. Yeah. I mean, 100 people, 200 people, but Akron J-Dub, he was one of the first guys.

47:13Shannon Sharpe:Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy was another one. Laney Ray, she was another one. So we had a core group. I remember looking down, I was like, damn, we got 300 people in the chat. Okay. We got 300 people, Ocho. And then that was a Sunday night. And then Monday, like, Ocho, we got 1 ,000. We got 1 ,500. And then it just grew and grew and grew. And I just remember having a conversation with Ocho as we started to build and, you know, we started to get 10 ,000 and 15 and 20 ,000. And in the postseason, we ended up almost having 100 ,000 in the chat. I said, you know we're not going to be the only ones in this space anymore, right?

47:48Shannon Sharpe:He's like, I said, nah. I said, people, because we were the only ones in this space. Nobody else did this at night. Everybody came on during the day. That's why we did it at night. And we do have a lot of other people in the space, and congratulations. But this is what Ocho and I, when we sat down and had a conversation, I said, I think it's going to take us about three years, but I think we can be good at it.

48:13Chad Johnson:Hey, I got a question. So when you left Fox, you already knew you wanted to do Nightcap? You already had the name Nightcap and all that? Nope.

48:25Shannon Sharpe:when I left, the only thing that I was able to leave with when I left Nightcap was Club Shea Shea because I had that written to my contract because if I didn't have that written to my contract, Fox would have got to keep Club Shea Shea. Even if they let me. Now I would have had to share the revenue with them. So I'd have had to do everything and they would have got to share the revenue. But it was written in my contract. I got all intellectual property of Club Shea Shea. The image, everything, the catalog that was before that, I got that.

48:52Chad Johnson:Yeah.

48:53Shannon Sharpe:And talking to people, YouTube rewards frequency. The only thing is I can only do Club Shay Shay once a week. So we had to come up with another thing. Now, mind you, I left Fox. Ash was still at Fox. I had told Ash, I said, Ash, if I ever do something on my own, I want to take you with me.

49:15Chad Johnson:Yeah.

49:15Shannon Sharpe:She gung-ho. She don't know the better. Okay, I'll go.

49:22so

49:24Shannon Sharpe:what happened at Fox and I leave so she called me say what are you doing I said I don't know I said I just know that hey I would like for you to come with me she's like okay I said I don't know what I'm gonna do but I want you to come with me she said okay she put her two weeks in and I had I would pay it out of my pocket I ain't have no job. And next thing you know, I get picked up by ESPN. She's going to be my producer. I said, no, I got my own producer.

49:57Chad Johnson:Yeah.

49:58Shannon Sharpe:And then CJ. I said, CJ, look, bro, Club Shay Shay is not going to work without you. I said, you and I started this thing in 2020. He's like, okay. So I started paying them out of my pocket. So that's how it happened, Joe. But no, there was no nightcap. when we started we didn't think of nightcap didn't come to be until like what like august like damn near september we lost the first week of september it happened i think i talked i think ocho and i got together like two weeks before the initial launch it wasn't gonna be no nightcap because i didn't have no gas i didn't have no host i didn't have no calls yeah hey hey hey joe i went to LA and he pitched me the idea.

50:43Chad Johnson:Yeah.

50:44Joe Johnson:I said, yeah, I'm good. Okay, let's go. That's it. Hey, all you need was five minutes. I ain't got time to be sitting in no business meeting, you know, going over logistics and all that. You want to do a show? Okay, I'm in. That's it. I went outside and spoke. That's what he said.

51:00Shannon Sharpe:I'm like, well, you already know the idea. He's like, oh, if you do it, I know it's going to be successful.

51:05Joe Johnson:Yeah, I know it's going to be good.

51:07Shannon Sharpe:So that was it. And so once we got Ocho, once I got Ocho, I had a producer in Ash. Boom. And the rest is, as they say, history. That's really, we basically put this show together in two weeks. Now we've evolved. We got producers. We got graphics. We got editors. We have all these things that's housed up under this. But in the beginning, it was just Ash. And, you know, we talking about the games. and Ocho and I were doing what we did.

51:43Shannon Sharpe:Jose Jorge Castillo up. For five million cash would you rather go number two and use a port-a-potty? Lord have mercy. Damn.

51:54Chad Johnson:Yeah you'll do it for five million cash. Wait to do what? Go into port-a-potty. Take a deuce and a port-a-potty. Ocho do it for 200. I do that. If I got to go, I'm doing that for free.

52:07Joe Johnson:In a porta potty? Yeah, Joe.

52:11Shannon Sharpe:Nah, nah, nah.

52:12Joe Johnson:Hey, Joe, you don't sit on it, Joe. You got to squat. Joe, like, you know you got to squat like this.

52:18Shannon Sharpe:Man, my knees, I got to sit all the way down. Oh, you can't do that? Man, they have to pry me up out of there, old Joe.

52:24Joe Johnson:OK, I got you. I got you, Joe. I got you. Well, hold on. You just got to sit there. You ain't got to squat down. Just kneel a little bit.

52:31Shannon Sharpe:That's it? For five million? Yeah, I'm going to have to go on and use the port-a-potty. Yeah. I've never actually sat down on one. I've never had to do number two of the port-a-potty.

52:45Joe Johnson:Yeah. Normally, you just got to pee-pee. That's it.

52:47Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they just smell horrific. They just terrible. Yeah. I just kind of tell. I mean, you know, when you go to the airport bathroom, and all the urinals are taken, and you go to one of the ones that you sit down and somebody ain't even flushed. I said, God damn.

53:12Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all can't even flush the toilet. I said, y 'all buy some nasty mofos. I said, man, forget that. I can't. I just wait.

53:22Chad Johnson:That's why I don't like eating when I travel, because, boy, that's the last thing I want to do is have to use that bathroom in the airport. Hey.

53:28Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I'm very particular what I eat. I don't deal with no fruit the boy fruit go through me Joe

53:36Joe Johnson:what ain't nothing worse I'm assuming y 'all don't do number two in public but ain't nothing worse what about you Joe I'd rather go in the woods

I don't like, I call that the teardrop. I don't like the teardrop. That's one of the worst things about using the bathroom in public is that water, you know, that toilet water catching you when your stuff fall in the

54:44Shannon Sharpe:I don't like that. Look, I've been Joe and Ocho, I ain't never told this before. I've been driving home from Atlanta going to Glenville. So you know you're on 16. Yeah.

1:21:08Shannon Sharpe:Oh, we forgot about Kenny Rogers. Yeah. Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings. One of my favorite shows growing up was Hee Haw.

1:21:18Joe Johnson:Hee Haw.

1:21:20Shannon Sharpe:Mm-hmm. Buck Owens, Roy Clark.

1:21:26Shannon Sharpe:Ben Coates. Ben was great. I've known Ben a long time. I met Ben in college. I'm a year older than Ben. so my sophomore year Ben would have been well my freshman year so the end of my freshman year they recruiting Ben Ben is the only guy that I've ever that I've ever shown around campus you know did anything told him what it's like so now I know they're gonna move me to tight end because the tight end at the time he's gonna flunk out we know that coach Davis already informed me say hey son I want you to go out here do your thing wide receiver but probably we're gonna to end up moving you to tight end if we can't find anybody, if we can't get anybody out of high school.

1:22:10Shannon Sharpe:I said, okay, coach, cool, no problem. I had played tight end my senior year in high school, so I had played tight end before. It was all state tight end. So no problem. So I'm walking around Ben. I was like, I said, what, you know, because at the time I didn't know what position he played. He's like, I'm a tight end. I said, really? I said, okay, that's good. I said, what you trying to do? He said, man, I want to go somewhere I can start. I said, don't come to Savannah State. I said, they moving me to tight end and you can't beat me out. He went to Livingston.

1:22:39Shannon Sharpe:Ask him. Y 'all, hey, ask Big Co. I told him. I said, if you want to start, don't come to Savannah State because you can't beat me out. He went to Livingston and we both end up in the league. He went to five Pro Bowls. I went to eight. We were on the Pro Bowl roster from like the mid-90s. If you were in the AFC, you weren't going to the Pro Bowl. we had that thing a lot from like from like 90 from like 93 through 98 you wasn't going

1:23:18Shannon Sharpe:Jerry Ward Watson made a post working out with Jerry Judy what do you think he didn't play hard for Sanders if you watch the tape you can clearly see he didn't give effort with the bag he got.

1:23:35Shannon Sharpe:Look, all I know is that Watson, they're paying Watson a lot of money. And if he's healthy, he's going to have every opportunity to start. It all depends on how soon, because everybody's starting from scratch, Ocho, because this is an entirely different offense. So nobody has an upper hand.

1:23:52Joe Johnson:Mm-mm.

1:23:57Amen.

1:24:02Shannon Sharpe:J-Dub, Akron, I remember Monday night game when you were mic'd up against the Steelers. You told Holmes he was the weak link and he was slipping over the middle. Yeah, he did. He called me slipping. Did you Earl Holmes ever talk about that later? No. I told him, I said, you the weak link. We're going to take advantage of you. I said, the other guys, they good. You. Earl Holmes. I think, who was the, uh. Ain't Earl from Miami? Huh? Ain't Earl from the crib? Ain't he from Miami, no? Yeah. I think they had PZ and Gildon. I think that was their starting linebackers, but outside. PZ was there? Yeah.

1:24:39Shannon Sharpe:Okay. Yeah, hell yeah. And, uh, cause inside, I think they had, what's her boy's name? Uh, Kendra Bell.

1:25:29Shannon Sharpe:Pappy Ray, what's up, y 'all? What's the best all-time sports moment you've witnessed live at a game before? Does the All-Star game? Because I was at the All-Star game when Josh Hamilton put on that show at Yankee Stadium.
