In short

Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang debate Cam Ward’s preseason handling of a reporter’s question, arguing about whether preseason performance and media scrutiny matter. They also discuss Keenan Allen’s Hall of Fame chances, plus quick hits on other teams/players and a listener chat.

Guests/backgrounds

Matt Rogers (comedian/podcast host; co-host of Las Culturistas) and Bowen Yang (comedian/podcast host; co-host of Las Culturistas). No other named guests appear in the transcript.

Key claims

  • Ocho/Unc argue the reporter’s “assess your play” question is fair game, but judging a starter on limited “vanilla” preseason snaps is “unjustifiable” and “unfair.”
  • They insist preseason results don’t affect regular-season records, but accountability still matters: if you play poorly, you should say you need to be better.
  • Ward’s “not well” answer is criticized as potentially too blunt/defensive versus a more PC, scripted response.

Notable examples

  • Detroit Lions: 4-0 in preseason, then 0-16 in the season (used to argue preseason doesn’t predict outcomes).
  • Keenan Allen: needs 48 catches to reach third all-time; debate whether that’s enough for HOF.

1:46You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, okay, hold on, I got a new favorite food. That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try Kewpie mayo. Yeah, it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it at the grocery store. And this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Kewpie only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers. Chefs use it. Restaurants use it. People who really care about flavor use it.

2:20Put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand. Kupi, the original Japanese mayonnaise. Hey, sports fans. Your away game road trip doesn't start at the kickoff. It starts on the road.

2:59Shannon Sharpe:Cam Ward got into it with a report about his play this preseason. Check this out.

3:03Joe Johnson:Uh-oh. Uh-oh. How would you, how would Cam Ward assess the way Cam Ward is played? so far this preseason? How would you assess it? Not well. You don't think so? I don't think so. I'm glad you don't think so. That's good. How would you assess it? You know, I assess it as, you know, do we win the game or do we lose the game? I assess it as what I can get better at. I don't assess it as someone who can get up there and, you know, operate when everything's on. It's a different process level.

3:39Shannon Sharpe:So it's more of, you know, slowing down the game to everybody And I believe we made a huge jump for week one and week two because we're getting more condensed in the playbook We're not really opening everything up and you know when we come to week one, I think it will be a different story

3:55Joe Johnson:Hey, you told the retort report. I'm glad. Okay. Okay. Okay. Hey Chippy boy, don't let them let them punk you, right? Huh? You know, you want to play well He's supposed to be a Titan. So he's supposed to support the Titans man

4:11Shannon Sharpe:No, see, that's the problem. They done got the game messed up, Ocho. Yeah. They got to realize the reporters aren't fans. No. They have a job to do. Exactly. And sometimes, somehow, it's gotten confused when reporters do their jobs. His job is to critique and analyze. He's like, okay, from his analysis, he hadn't played well.

4:35Shannon Sharpe:Reporter, how would you assess your play this preseason? How would you assess it? Not well. You don't think so? I'm glad you don't think so. He, Ocho, he hasn't played well.

4:49Joe Johnson:He hasn't. Yeah. He hasn't. Yeah, but it's preseason. How much are we putting into preseason? Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait. The small amount of plays you do get as a starting quarterback in the preseason where everything is really vanilla, there's nothing is scripted, there's nothing scheme, I would take that with a grain of salt in general. Now, with the small stuff you have gotten, Ocho, okay, It hasn't looked good. It hasn't looked good. Brian Day ball. He has his work cut out for him He had his work out of cut out for him So obviously whatever you need to do you take what you've seen in the preseason You implement it in practice and hopefully come week one in two weeks We come out and we see a better cam Ward cam Ward has some ups and downs last year Number one pick.

5:30Joe Johnson:He has an ups and downs towards the end of the season. Hey, uncle Joe, but he played well He played really well, so I'm hoping he can build on that going into the season this year But when it comes to the preseason, eh, you know, you want to see improvement. You want to see improvement and consistency. But when it doesn't go well the way we think it should, when he gets, what, nine snaps, seven snaps, and say, oh, we're out those seven, you didn't play well. I don't know. Maybe you understand where I'm coming from. Maybe not. Ocho, it's simple.

6:01Shannon Sharpe:Did he play well? Right. The guy says, I don't think you played well. You know what? I didn't play as well as I would like to play. I know I need to play better in order for us to win. Boom.

6:15Shannon Sharpe:If it's vanilla, it's vanilla for everybody. Yes, sir. And he hadn't played well when it's vanilla. So what's going to happen when it gets more complicated? When we start adding flavors? When we start swirling it up? Then what are we going to do, Ocho?

6:27Joe Johnson:Yeah.

6:28Shannon Sharpe:So then when we say you haven't played well, what are you going to say then?

6:32Joe Johnson:Well, I'll wait until the season to get here. but that's one of the goddamn problems in general is the goddamn reporters worried about how the fuck we look in the preseason shit don't mean nothing no disrespect it don't mean nothing man it don't mean nothing nothing at all listen to me I'm gonna be honest with you this preseason don't mean shit it don't mean nothing I'm telling from somebody that played at a very high level that enjoyed being in the preseason to get ready for the regular season it means nothing I respect that. I'm talking about a real game day when I'm out there facing them real dogs, the real number ones.

7:10Joe Johnson:To me, I mean, to me, Unc, you might feel a little different. I'm just saying me. I feel very different. Hey, I'm getting a little emotional. I'm just saying this is how I feel. I really don't care about the five or six snaps I get in the preseason and a reporter judging me based off that. That's just me. But as a quarterback, maybe he should feel a little different. So, Unc, I like your answer. I like your answer and what he should have said. but that's not the way he's built. Ocho,

7:37Shannon Sharpe:a reporter has never asked you how did you play today? How did the offense play? A reporter has never asked you that in your 10, 11 year NFL career. So why would he ask you that? Why is he worried about how you

7:49Joe Johnson:playing? Yeah, but I'd be the first one to say, boy, I played bad. Yo! I'm built like that. Well, maybe he should be built like that. because it's the preseason. It's the preseason. I'm taking that with a grain of soul, especially the number one quarterback, my starter. He's my guy anyway. Yes, but don't you want your starter to play a little better, JoJo? I mean, we can go across the board about some of the starters that didn't look good. Name one. Huh? Name one. In the preseason?

8:23Shannon Sharpe:Yes. Of the quarterbacks that's played, name one. Damn. taking you that long?

8:32Joe Johnson:I'm trying to remember all the preseason games. Okay.

8:39Shannon Sharpe:You ain't going to be able to find one, Ocho.

8:41Joe Johnson:And I see somebody even though the way he came on

8:46Shannon Sharpe:late in the season, he didn't play well over all last year. Even when you factor in him playing better at the end.

8:52Joe Johnson:I just said that. It was some ups and downs. As any rookie quarterback coming into a situation, in Tennessee where there ain't really nothing out there to work with now. There's a reason why he went number one. Yes. Parker, Joe, there's a reason why he went number one because there ain't much out there. So that means he has to come in and be almost damn near perfect because there's nothing out there. Let me ask you a question. Talk to me.

9:14Shannon Sharpe:While you're saying there ain't nothing to work with, what you think those receivers thinking? Tell me what you think his receivers thinking. While he said I ain't got nothing to work with, what you think his receivers thinking?

9:24Joe Johnson:No, I'm not talking about the receivers. I'm saying the totality of the team, which is why he was able to get the number one.

9:28Shannon Sharpe:I think the defense is pretty good. If the offense can stay on the field and not turn the ball over.

9:33Joe Johnson:Turn the ball over?

9:33Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah, most definitely, most definitely. Hey, Tate probably still ain't score, and he probably still ain't caught a damn ball all preseason. Yo, them boys ain't even playing that many plays. We can't, we can't, we can't,

9:45Joe Johnson:you cannot do that. You cannot sit here and say, oh my goodness, they played five, six plays. Oh, you're not playing well. No, I need to see a full game. I need me. Week one. When we, listen, Tennessee, when Tennessee plays and we come on here Sunday, Sunday night, 11, 12 o 'clock, whatever it is, then we can have a true assessment on how the quarterback look, how the receivers look. But this preseason and people in the chat talk about preseason matters, no, the fuck it don't. It don't. It tells you nothing. Nothing at all. Because I just gave you an example, the goddamn Detroit line going 4-0 in the preseason and going 0-16 when the season started.

10:28Shannon Sharpe:can uh ash can you feel what can you can you find the uh quote when they ask mendoza mendoza about his play and his answer tells you a lot two different people two different people yeah and i saw i saw you know who the last person i saw hold on wait are you comparing cam ward look at cam ward and look at fernando mendoza that's not even a fair comparison and they will

10:54Joe Johnson:They will never ask or answer questions alike.

10:56Shannon Sharpe:Besides race, what's the difference?

10:59Joe Johnson:Are you listening to me? Yes. Listen to me very closely. They will never, ever answer questions alike. Ever. They never will. They're not the same. The only thing, listen, the only thing comparable between Cam Ward and Fernando Mendoza is the fact that they are NFL quarterbacks. That's it. They don't conduct themselves in any manner alike. And that's including answering questions. I don't want why would I want Ken Ward to be like Fernando Mendoza for what

11:29Shannon Sharpe:that's not the same reason I wanted Ryan least to be like Peyton Manning but he handled it just like this guy handled it and what happened so so you're saying Ken Ward gonna be Ryan Lee

11:39Joe Johnson:but I don't know what's gonna happen but I know wait wait wait so if you answer questions like

11:44Shannon Sharpe:Peyton Manning you're gonna turn out to be Peyton Manning look at the way Dak Prescott answer questions look at Jalen Hurst the way they answer questions look at certain guys Lamar Jackson the way they answer questions yes I wanted to act like that hold on so answering questions is going to result in productivity on the field that's what I'm saying that behave you not be you taking offense when somebody asks you to assess your play he's human he can take offense he's a player what are we talking about it's the preseason why is he taking offense if it doesn't matter if it's the

Read the full transcript

12:17Joe Johnson:preseason why is he asking the dumb ass question i can't do that what i want to do why is he asking

12:21Shannon Sharpe:the dumb ass why is he taking offense if it's the preseason it doesn't matter who said he was

12:26Joe Johnson:taking offense he said oh it's okay well good i'm glad you think so oh so i'm glad you think so

12:31Shannon Sharpe:so you think that's that's that's an answer so that's not the answer that somebody took a picture what he gave i'm asking you a simple question this ain't got nothing to do with cam ward this you and i you don't think that's response elicit somebody taking offense to what the reporter asked him yes well no if you ask me a stupid question i'm gonna give you a stupid answer how did oh chad y 'all gotta help me how is that a stupid question ask him to assess

12:54Joe Johnson:your play i don't think you played well how's that stupid if he said you don't think i don't think you played well he said well that's cool that's that's your answer that's how you feel okay cool normally next question would you want to sit there and agree with him oh you know what yeah you're right i didn't play well for what no all you have to do is that's how you feel

13:16Shannon Sharpe:I need to know how about me I need to play everybody does not have to give those fucking PC ass answers We'll have this we'll have another conversation I guarantee you we'll have a conversation about cam war and I don't want to hear nothing about this Oh, this don't matter. This is on his second year. I'm not gonna let you give those

13:33Joe Johnson:I ain't trying to wait what we not gonna do is allow the media to goddamn control

13:37Shannon Sharpe:And how we do how he played so who thought was he played bad last year was that the media photo his phone

13:44Joe Johnson:What rookie quarterback has coming and plays all world? Let me hear this. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't worry about other rookies. No, no, no, no. You told me don't worry about how other quarterbacks answer questions. No, let's stay on the topic. He played bad last year as a number one pick, right? The first pick in the draft. What quarterback has been the number one pick and played well their first year? I'll wait.

14:08Shannon Sharpe:I mean, what's he going to do pretty good? Drake may play pretty good. What quarterback played? Who? You told me don't worry about how other quarterbacks played. That's what you tell me. Don't worry about how to answer questions. You said worry about me right here. So I'm just trying to figure out I need somebody to help me. Chad, help me understand. How would you assess your play in the preseason? Cam Ward, how would you assess it? Not well. You don't think so? I'm glad you don't think so. Joe, what is so out of line about that question? That's a great thing.

14:44Joe Johnson:You don't think so? I'm glad you don't. Boom. That's a statement in itself. You know what that says? I'm glad you don't think I played well. And I'm gonna show you. I don't need to give no PC where you know what you're right. Man, fuck all that. I didn't say, you don't have to say. How about you saying, I know I need to play better. Why do you want him to be a robot and that's not him? How'd he be a robot? you tell him you're telling him he's answering the question a certain way that does not predict who he is that's not him he's not fernando mendoza he's not paid manning he's not tom brady all their answers are pc and robotic what about so every quarterback is robotic and no not really

15:26Shannon Sharpe:not really so so name the quarterback so name the quarterback that's been like this um like what name the quarterback that's answered a question like what he responded

15:39Joe Johnson:How many quarterbacks have reported asking that exact question? I don't know. It's a thousand quarterbacks. In order to compare the answers, what reporter is asking their starting quarterback questions like this? They ask this every Sunday. I've never seen it. I've never seen it. I've never seen it.

15:58Shannon Sharpe:I know this man ain't just saying. I know this man ain't just saying. He have never heard or seen a reporter ask a quarterback about his play on a given Sunday.

16:10Joe Johnson:I know Ocho didn't say that. We talk about preseason, ain't we? We talk about preseason. I ain't never seen nobody. I ain't never seen nobody coming in and ask no quarterback. Nothing about no preseason. I have. Of course. Let me see. It's three preseason games. Cam Ward probably played what? 12 goddamn snaps. Are you talking about assessing that? What are we talking about, man? We talking about preseason.

16:32Shannon Sharpe:I don't care if I'm out there for two snaps. I'm trying to put my best foot forward. I don't know about how y 'all do it. So you don't think he's trying to put his best foot forward? Yeah. I don't know what he tried to do. Hold on. I know what he didn't do.

16:42Joe Johnson:I'm trying to ask. Is he trying to make mistakes? Is he trying to miss passes? I don't know. Is that what we do? I don't think he...

16:50Shannon Sharpe:Go ahead, Joe. Hey, look. He ain't trying to do none of that, what you're saying, Ocho. But I think what I'm saying is the accountability part. It's like, bro, you got to hold yourself to a high standard, Ocho. You know what I mean? The man was the number one pick. Yeah, I know it's preseason. But, yeah, he got some new weapons out there, man. You want to have some good drives, bro. We're just seeing a lot of quarterbacks in the preseason, Ocho, who done really showed that, you know, they ready to take the next step. I ain't think it was a bad question, bro. But it's hard. I don't know if that was practice or after a game when emotions are high like that.

17:25Shannon Sharpe:Hey, man, this is what you're going to get from young guys because they ain't used to that constructive criticism like that. Fernando Mendoza learned on what he's – After completing his first training camp, the NFL is really tough. There's a big jump going from college to the NFL. The NFL is a tough business, and it's a challenge. I look forward to taking it head on with my teammates.

17:48Joe Johnson:Yeah, that's real cute. Same dumbass politically robotic answer they teach you to say. I ain't trying to hear that shit, man. We all know the jump is tough from college to the NFL. Duh. Huh? No, that's not what you said.

18:04Shannon Sharpe:Hold up.

18:05Joe Johnson:He's saying all the right things. Same old, same old, same old, same old, same rhetoric we hear from every quarterback. It's the same scripted shit. Because you know why?

18:15Shannon Sharpe:Because the quarterbacks go to the same damn school. They get schooled the same damn way. Hey, I tell you what. And I know two guys have handled it very poorly. Hold on, hold on, hold on. One is Anthony Richardson Jr., a senior, and the other one was Cam Ward the way he handled this question. why you calling out the black quarterback what you trying to say all I'm saying is I know two guys of hell what did Anthony Richardson say did he or did he not say the NFL was easy yes or no

18:41Joe Johnson:did he say

18:43Shannon Sharpe:did he say yes or no

18:46Joe Johnson:so Fernando Mendoza is going to have success because he's answering questions right I don't know what he's going to have I want to make sure that this horse we sitting on for Fernando Mendoza because he's answering questions right when it's his time to start And he get mother fucking slaughtered out there. I want this same say I want to come back to the same question The show that answer

19:06Shannon Sharpe:The point is not whether he gets slaughtered is that he takes accountability when it happens That's the point I'm making See you trying to Hold on I'll listen to you Hold on just a second I'm going to give you the flow back

19:22Joe Johnson:Does that make it okay? Does that make it okay because he answered the question the right way?

19:26Shannon Sharpe:Does that make it okay? See what you're trying to do. See, you're trying to say because he answered it, because he answered the question the wrong way, has something to do with his play. I'm saying, and I think what Joe is saying, is that you accept accountability when you don't play well. That's it. Accountability in a. Yes, yes, yes.

19:53Shannon Sharpe:Get off your chest, bro.

19:58Shannon Sharpe:Well, we talk about the preseason. Still. I'm playing my absolute best every time. Because every time I step on that damn field is a reflection of Shannon Mofo Sharp. Forget the name on the front of the jersey. I'm talking about the name on the back of the jersey. That's what I represent. Every time I step on the field, preseason, regular season, playoff, one play, 50 plays. I play the same way every time. And when I don't play well, I'm mad enough to stand to the podium. Just like when he goes out there and throws four touchdowns, I'm mad enough to go out there. When I don't play well, say, I didn't play well today.

20:37Shannon Sharpe:And that's not good enough.

20:38Joe Johnson:You know what? I'm glad we're here. Because it's been a real long time since we ever had a conversation like this where we disagreed. No, bro, you laughing, boy. I think the last time we got like this, Joe, I think, what, was it the Bud Crawford picking and choosing a box or something like this? Joe's been a long time boy, and I'm feeling good. Hey, this nigga got me hot. Hey, Chad, he got me hot. You over there sweating? Hey, hey Ash, well we ain't having one like this

21:13Shannon Sharpe:in a minute boy. Joe, I gotta go to the bathroom. Joe, talk to him, Joe, talk to him.

21:18Joe Johnson:Hey, Joe. hey hey joe that's my guy boy he got me mad as hell boy hey hey hey hey you pissed off about that preseason so far hey hey chad i tell you no lie chad i love y 'all i know chad i know some of y 'all probably don't agree with me but i'm just telling you how i feel maybe it's the way i conduct myself maybe the way i view the preseason even though i enjoy the preseason but i won't do as i won't allow a reporter to tell me the small amount of plays that i've gotten in preseason is justifiable with my play that it's it's not enough plays being played joe uh the the plays uh the plays and the scheme that we're running everything is so vanilla it's kind of almost it's almost unfair and and also joe being at the team to practice and having the joint practice and they've seen everything multiple times joe so it's it's really not fair to me so maybe things don't look the same or he's not having success he would like to have um oh boy oh boy I'm hot, bro.

22:16Joe Johnson:Hold on. Hold on, Joe. Stay with me.

22:23Shannon Sharpe:Hey, Ocho, nah, it's serious business, though. You don't feel like it's – I understand it's preseason, but a little bit of accountability, bro. I think, you know, from a fan's perspective, we enjoy that more. Like, if you ain't played great or you ain't played well, man, I get it. Preseason, but damn, this is just your second year in the league, bro. We're trying to build on something. You know what I'm saying? If you Tennessee, I just felt like, you know, him getting slick with the reporter, man, that comes from being young.

22:55Joe Johnson:Yeah, that too. Obviously, he's going to have some growing pains as a young quarterback coming in. But I kind of see what Uncle's saying, but I also see the other side of things. Would it not only be an appreciation and Cam trying to improve and build on what he did last year, but justifying and critiquing him based on the small amount of snaps he's getting in the preseason to me is unjustifiable and it's almost unfair. Can I ask you a question on Joe? Take your time, man. Take your time.

23:23Shannon Sharpe:You think that reporter at practice? But practice don't matter either though, so.

23:35Shannon Sharpe:Practice don't matter, Joe, so hey, guess what? The preseason don't matter. The Pro Bowl didn't matter. The All-Star game didn't matter. Nah, I don't let it matter. Of course it does. I'm trying to put my best foot forward. I'm a representation every time I step on the field. Ocho did it too. If it didn't matter, Ocho, why you out there, why Marvin had to call time out to get your ass out the field in the preseason game if it didn't matter?

23:58Joe Johnson:Oh, I wasn't coming out the game.

23:59Shannon Sharpe:No, no, no, it don't matter. It don't matter. I wasn't coming out the game. Hold on, hold on. Chat, chat. Hold on, hold on. Hold on. No, no, no, Ocho. No, no. I went to the bathroom. He got them a thong. chat Ocho said preseason didn't matter but he wanted to take all the reps he said one time Marvin had to call a timeout to get him off the field but preseason doesn't matter I need you to pick a side I can it matters or it

24:27Joe Johnson:doesn't hold on can I can I can I can I speak yes you can go ahead and Joe and I'm John I'm address you because I because because I don't know the only reason I played in the preseason it wasn't about putting up numbers it about catching balls joe for me it was to get acclimated to the game speed again i could practice 100 times joe i get in the game the game speed is completely different for me now i'm not sure how it is for anyone else for me that's it hello but ocho in order for you you you said it mattered right does it does pre-season matter yes or no huh does pre-season matter yes or no

25:05Shannon Sharpe:No. The result in the preseason? No. Does the preseason matter? Ain't nobody say nothing about no results. Does preseason matter? Yes or no? No. Okay. So why you try to take all the refs then? Me?

25:24Joe Johnson:Yes, you. I like football.

25:26Shannon Sharpe:No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not what you just said. I can play back. I can have the stenographer play back what you said. You said because you need to get acclimated to the speed of the game. therefore preseason was important hey can I take can I say something else to on no further questions your honor hey Joe I like to do in the preseason too I

25:45Joe Johnson:like to try new stuff that to see if it work so it Matt

26:03listen to me now he he just

26:05Shannon Sharpe:I just wanted a little argument tonight.

26:07Joe Johnson:I'm not trying to argue. I'm just saying the preseason matters, but if these wins and loss, whether you win or lose, does it affect your record in any way? Huh? I'm asking you, Joe. In the preseason, does it affect your wins, your wins or your losses? No. Nah, it don't affect your wins and losses. It's all about you individually, you know, working on your stuff. You're trying to put your best foot forward, you know, obviously. You know, everybody uses the preseason for different reasons. I'm getting I'm getting I'm getting the fuck not did it matter no I would just trying to work on stuff to make sure I'm doing that oh my oh Joe you can't you can't you can't do that you can't do that what's that hey hey listen to me you hear me let's say I didn't play hey let's say I didn't play in the preseason come week one you know I'm still gonna go off you know that right I'm still gonna be able to I'm still gonna be able to execute and and and dice people up the same way whether I play in the preseason or not.

27:03Joe Johnson:No, it didn't matter. I'm just saying it's me. If you didn't play in the preseason, you were still going to be Shannon Sharp come week one. Even if you didn't, you still was going to be that boy.

27:16Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, but the fact of the matter is that when you step on the field, you got to be willing to take accountability when things don't go well. Whether it's the preseason, the regular season, the postseason, it doesn't matter. My thing was you said you wanted to work on things. So you was using the preseason to work on things that you was going to use in the regular season. Therefore, one would say preseason matters. That's all. And when things don't go well, you have to be mad enough to stand before, take this microphone and stand there and say, you know what? I need to be better. We've got to be better.

27:51Shannon Sharpe:That won't get it done. That's all.

27:55Joe Johnson:Yeah, you're right. The little folk plays they get in the preseason ain't going to get it done. Yes. You're right.

28:00Shannon Sharpe:But again, I'm going to ask you again Do you think that reporter is at practice?

28:08Is he?

28:09Joe Johnson:I don't know, probably Hey, the reporters They're at practice at the beginning of the practice, right? In the preseason, they're there the whole time Oh So what you trying to say? He's trying to say he's been practicing bad too? I don't know what he's trying to say

28:22Shannon Sharpe:He just asked you a question

28:24Joe Johnson:I mean, it seems like you're implying the question might have been Because he's playing bad in practice too

28:29Shannon Sharpe:I'm just saying.

28:30Joe Johnson:Now that's another conversation.

28:32Shannon Sharpe:No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, that's not. I didn't make any implication. All I asked was, do you believe he's there for an extended period of time for practices or this was an isolated situation where he just saw the preseason games? Hey.

28:53Joe Johnson:Hey, it's a play of the different now. You know, it's not like when we played, you know, they ain't finna sit up there with all that accountability and all that saying all the right stuff. They just not. But Ocho, that's what we complain. We talk about that Ocho. The guys are not accountable enough. I'm with you when you're right. I'm with you when you're right. And listen, you know this era, they're a little bit more sensitive now, Joe. You say something they don't like, they'll snap on you. You know? So you gotta understand who you're dealing with too. So times are different, you know? And I just wanna apologize for raising my voice, man.

29:25Joe Johnson:Chad, I apologize. You know, I ain't got the best in me tonight. It's been a long time.

29:29Shannon Sharpe:I get the best of you. Look, I just, look, I know when you ready to have a fight, I know what subject that you ready to have a fight in.

29:39Joe Johnson:Football. Football and boxing. Especially if it's something I believe in too.

29:47Shannon Sharpe:You want players to be themselves. Bingo. And so, and the thing is, there are times and plays that you can't. You got to use as a quarterback. You and I, we could have said anything. We don't get judged. We don't get critiqued as harsh as the quarterback. You know that. Yeah. I'm sure there's some time that Carson wanted to go off about some things that happened in the game. Even Keough, always. That guy of all people has to be that. Yeah. You and I, we rising and falling with the balls we catch and the balls we don't catch. Pause.

30:29Shannon Sharpe:Football. We talking for the, you know what I'm saying, Joe? See what I'm saying? Oh yeah, he hella well, dog. All right, we gotta go to our final segment, it is time for Q. Hey.

It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before. And if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake. Because this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Kewpie only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything.

32:20Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers. Some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it. Restaurants use it. People who really care about flavor use it. Never tried it? Grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store. Put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand.

Them boys did their thing, man. They did their thing. I thought picking at Carolina played well.

36:32Joe Johnson:Excuse me.

36:40Shannon Sharpe:Pick it. I thought the quarterback, the quarterback, the quarterbacks didn't do bad this preseason. Some of them, you know, the young guys played really, really well.

36:50Joe Johnson:Mm-hmm.

That's what this was about. Yeah. Who you like, Ocho? You like that little running back y 'all got?

37:11Joe Johnson:Yeah, he was nice. He was nice. I wonder if he had backup Chase Brown.

37:54Joe Johnson:Everybody can't do that.

37:56Shannon Sharpe:Everybody can't do that. We saw this last year. We saw this man, like the first seven, eight games. I'm like, he the front runner for the Heisman while we bull jiving. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, I don't know if he got hurt.

38:09Joe Johnson:Huh? Go ahead. The bottom fell out over there in Alabama. It did.

38:12Shannon Sharpe:It did. Joe, your guy for the Raiders, Mike Washington Jr., he go. Hold on. How long the other running back going to be out? Yeah, JT. How long he going to be out? They didn't give him no timetable. Yeah. You think he'll be back before week one? It all depends on how severe it is, if it's a high ankle sprain or not. They didn't really – they just said it's an ankle sprain. They didn't say if it was high. They didn't say if it was, you know, how serious it was, that he didn't give us a timetable or when he would come back. I know they're hoping he'll be able to go game one. Hey, that's some good insurance to have, boy, if you're the Raiders.

38:51Shannon Sharpe:what's up big three I saw a stat today saying Keenan Allen is 48 catches away from being third all-time in catches with the long jam at wide receiver going into the hall does he have a chance to more wide receivers get in it's gonna be hard for Keenan to get in I'm just being honest
