20:50Oh, Isojo, Ocho Cinco. Oh, one question for you. Two minutes left in the fourth quarter. Any quarterback all time who's leading your team down the field to score a touchdown to win the Super Bowl. Ocho, you need to chill out with Iso Joe. We've seen you play basketball.

21:08Joe Johnson:We know what's going to happen when you get on that court with that man. You're going to have flashbacks. I know you don't know what I mean by flashbacks.

26:25Shannon Sharpe:Absolutely. Happy birthday, bro. Happy early birthday. Birthday, man. Man, 28 years old, bro. Got a lot, got a bright future. Already a coach. already two-time champion. I'll be seeing him on IG too, I think. Yeah, I think he's from the crib. Coaching them kids, bro. That ain't easy, fellas.

26:52Joe Johnson:Especially at that age, Joe. At that age. Yeah, trying to get him to buy it. There's so many distractions, Uncle Joe. Yep. So many distractions today, especially with social media. At that age, it has to be something they really want to do. i don't think there's really anything you can say at this point they have no they have to really want it you know and being the fact that they only come and see you for a certain amount of hours out of day you know that that that encouragement has to come from other places especially you know we

27:20Shannon Sharpe:got to start in the household man hey them damn distractions killing them kids man hey it was crazy i i sitting here talking to my son another day i'm talking about man i see he just sat on the couch and he probably scrolled for about three four hours on ig i'm like i can't help you hey man you probably gonna get you a little workout in if you know me like you try you trying to hit you don't want to you don't know you don't want to put too much on it but you just because you know when you got aspirations to be a hell of a any type of athlete right and you're trying to play on the next level where you're in college and you try bro it's gonna come with some sacrifices and some hard damn work.

28:01Shannon Sharpe:You better find your routine quick, fast, in a hurry. Yeah, man, you got to outwork these dudes, bro. And they don't understand that part. I think the thing is like when kids, the older kids, I mean, you got to be in a situation where the older kids, you see those guys work, and then when it's your time, it's your work, and then the kids that's under you see you work. That's what a culture is. Yeah. Coaches don't create a culture. Players. Players create a culture. Yeah.

28:37Shannon Sharpe:And if you're a two-time state champ, man, them guys should be wanting to be a three-time state champion, a four-time state champion. But it's hard when you – you got to think in high school, if you winning like that, you can almost take that for granted. You know what I mean? You know how easy it is to take winning for granted, bro, when you've done it for so long? And I think that tends to happen, especially with a lot of these younger kids. And then you gotta worry about somebody coming and recruiting. You damn right. Nowadays, yeah, you're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. And you know, we at this school, Ocho, you went to the school that's in your district.

29:15Shannon Sharpe:You wasn't crossing no line where you know, hey, I can go to this school because they got a better sports program. Hey, well, you better get good and build that one up while you there. Yeah. Now these kids will dip out on your ass again. Because look, we talk about the Porter in college, but in high school, it's just damn, it's the same. You know, they probably ain't getting paid, or they probably are. But here, they'll jump ship on you too now.

29:44Shannon Sharpe:Joseph Shamoon says, man, let me make you guys some custom nightcap pieces on the house. Damn ass, Joseph. Let's see what you're working with. Hard not to be ashamed I've seen safety cones play better defense At least in 2018 He give you 30 He makes 40 million and plays like a vet minimum And that's the thing Joe, he's always been bad defensively But he can offset that by giving you 30, 40, 50, 60 He gave you so much that you overlooked Yeah But he's always been that Ocho, you know who he was? James Harden reminds you of Trayvon Diggs. When Trayvon Diggs was getting 10, 11 interceptions, you forgot the non-tackling.

30:32Shannon Sharpe:You forgot the big plays that he gave up. Then all of a sudden he's down to two interceptions and the big plays and the non-tackling. You're like, well, hold up. And the coach is like, all of a sudden when he's getting those 11 interceptions ain't nobody had a word. He probably would have let him stay over. That's James Harden. When you up here, when production is up here, tolerance is up here. But when production goes here, tolerance can't stay here. And that's James. James is the same defensive player. Yeah, his hands might not be as active, but James really never played defense. We just overlooked it because he was historically great offensively.

31:19and he had pretty good goddamn defenders around him,

31:24Shannon Sharpe:meaning P.J. Tucker, Trevor Ariza, Bamute. You know, they kept – all these guys was on Houston team with him. So he didn't have to do none of that dirty work. He just come out here and put on the show offensively. And, you know, guard the guy on offense who really wasn't going to be doing a whole hell of a lot. Things have changed. You in Cleveland now. Now you don't have these defenders on the perimeter. the you got no defenders basically you got guys that can protect the paint so it kind of exposes you a little bit because they seek you out you know you ain't just gonna use your your your your energy for offense your ass gonna have to guard

32:04Shannon Sharpe:yep you ain't lying joe oh oh joe hello hey can y 'all do me a favor wish my wife my wife Roro and happy birthday. Also got me to thank you. Well, bae, name is Roro, so I'm gonna pop two spark. Two? Damn. Come on, bro.

32:23Joe Johnson:One, bro, one. Yeah, just do one, twin. Just pop one, twin. Just one. Roro,

32:31Shannon Sharpe:happy birthday. Hopefully you don't spend tomorrow, because if you pop two, you're gonna spend tomorrow in VR. But Roro, happy birthday.

32:42Shannon Sharpe:Hey bro, thank you man, appreciate the support man. Hopefully you and the wife have something now. Have a great celebration for us. Oh yeah. We on this Dougie Fresh and Get Fresh Crew show, next in four, and we live in Jamaica, Queens baby. Orange and blue skies. Ooh wee. Dougie Fresh, you on. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. Okay. Yeah. What's up uncle and still got a question. Was the Knicks run easy's road to the finals or the Knicks that good? Played six and seven and four seeds. You can only play who's in front of you. I'm going to say they good, bro. And what you do, if you're superior to your team, you make it look like they made it look.

33:28Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah. I ain't going to downplay they played this postseason. They been great. I ain't going to lie. From the first series all the way to the finals, they've controlled every series. I always talk about my house getting two games but they just sprinted through Philly and then they just sprinted through the damn Cavs you hear me? Now they'll get a test in the finals y 'all pissed them off Joe by taking them two games because after what they did to y 'all them last games why you gotta keep bringing that up we know we had a dull game six we dropped a dud, you hear me? we dropped a dud, but damn we got two games look at Philly bro, look at the Cavs Come on.

34:15Shannon Sharpe:Nick's fans going to be riding around New York like the Joker in that cop car in Dark Knight. Hey, wait for some smoke, boy. What?

34:26Shannon Sharpe:If Brunson wins the chip, when finals MVP, do you think he makes the Hall of Fame when he's done? Hell yeah. He got more to go. But he'll be – In New York, bro? Yeah. He'll get on the fast track. He's going to be on the fast track. I'm trying to think. I don't know very many finals MVP, finals MVP. That's not maybe bread, cornbread. I don't think cornbread is in there. He won finals MVP. But at the rate he's going, I think he probably got another, what, four or five years, Joe, playing at this level? Yeah. How old is Brunson? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

35:16Shannon Sharpe:That has you say, make the Eastern Conference great again. Statistically speaking, the Knicks on paper is the most dominant team in playoffs ever. I think that says more about the conference. You could be right. They got a solid team, though. I like the guys they got coming off the bench. McBride, Alvarado, Clarkston. They got some guys who can get hot. freaky hey y 'all I was in Cancun for my 23rd birthday with my lady this past week and we had a great time can I get a shout out also I used the bathroom at the Cancun you nasty bro

35:55Joe Johnson:she should have left your ass in Cancun too hey that's the way to live your life boy when you gotta go you gotta go don't hurt your stomach bro you just left the hotel you just left the resort he probably didn't have to use the bathroom at the hotel or the resort therefore you have to do you you got to go where you got to go you better hey you better travel on the empty damn stomach yes happy happy birthday too he said happy birthday or was the anniversary uh 23rd birthday with my

36:26Shannon Sharpe:lady so happy birthday happy happy birthday hopefully you had a great time hopefully you just told her you going to get uh going to get something from the gift shop or something in the airport. Damn.

36:43Shannon Sharpe:Carnivore, herbivore, anklesore, Nixonmore. I don't know about that now. Right. East Coast Cav. I have to give credit to our team. I also have to give credit to Mike Brown's coaching WWE, the housing for putting a curse on the Cavs. Dan Howland, please do it more time with a curse in the Western Conference. Woo! I expect to see them nuns in the OKC. They definitely going to be back there in San Antonio. They for sure going to be in San Antonio.

37:18Shannon Sharpe:I saw a post on X that said, adding James Harden to win a championship is like marrying a stripper because you want a family. Couldn't agree more. The East that bad or the Knicks that good? The Knicks pretty good, bro. I'm giving him credit. That's a messed up analogy. I think I'll probably say 85-15. Maybe 75-25. 75, the Knicks good. Teams they played. Right.

37:49Shannon Sharpe:What's up, Big Three? I'm glad I so finally got the nightcap signed. I told y 'all a few days ago the Cavs should blow it up. Y 'all said no. Still feel the same? No. They're going to blow it up. Ain't no way I'm bringing this team back as currently constructed. And y 'all made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. Yeah. You bringing it back as is? No, you're going to have to add something to that. But I'm saying just add something, but you're going to keep Allen. You're going to keep all these other auxiliary. I'm going to see what's out there. I'm going to see what's out there. I'm going to see what's going on.

38:20Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to put my ear to the streets. You know what I mean? I'm going to put my ear to the streets. I'm going to see what's going on.

38:28Shannon Sharpe:Ocho looking like Crunchy Black from 3-6 Mafia. Hey, that's my boy. You do like country black. Hey, that's my boy.

38:39Shannon Sharpe:I need a pardon. Here we go again. James Harden, Madison Square Garden, Knicks in four. One love. They saying the Knicks gonna sweep in the finals? That's what they saying. I guess they talking about the previous two times. The previous two. But ain't no way. I don't think they sweeping. Three things guaranteed in life. Like, death, taxes, James Harden being better than Houdini at the job in a closeout game. Oh, man.

39:14Shannon Sharpe:He mad. Joe, you can't keep having these games where you have more turnovers than field goals, man. Yeah. Young guys are dumb. How about the Cavs just weren't better? James Harden took too many teams to success.

39:32Shannon Sharpe:You make it so long. What were the Cavs before he got there?

39:39Shannon Sharpe:I'm confused. You really believe that?

39:46Shannon Sharpe:Okay.

39:51Shannon Sharpe:I've always been less than a year and already has a nightcap set up. Maybe it will motivate Ocho. Tighten up, man.

40:00Joe Johnson:My nightcap set up is right.

40:01Shannon Sharpe:Hey, look, all I did, Chad, I just went to Ikea, got a few boys, I painted them black, you know. I didn't want that white backdrop because I seen how Ocho look. I said, hell, nah, I ain't going with that white backdrop. That white backdrop going to make you look like that Waffle House sign.

40:22Joe Johnson:Hey, what's wrong with Waffle House, Joe?

40:26Shannon Sharpe:It's supposed to say nightcap. It ain't supposed to look like no Waffle House sign. Okay

40:32Joe Johnson:I got you

40:32Shannon Sharpe:Would the game be different if Dame played with Mitchell And the Cavs If Dame If he played with Mitchell and the Cavs Yeah I mean His offense is going to be his defense He's going to put up big numbers So he probably would have gave him a 40 point game You know what I mean But the other thing He and Donovan probably more similar than he and James Yeah, I think he can play off Donovan, though, because Dame is such a great catch-and-shoot player, and he's still dynamic in the pick-and-roll, meaning getting to the bucket, you know, shooting his floater, finishing at the rack. He got a little more in his arsenal right now.

41:19Shannon Sharpe:Ocho going to make Isil realize he's not that guy after he puts him in a blender and dunks on him. Don't forget to put the knee in his face, Ocho. What? They saying, Ochoa gonna do it to me, yo. You heard it? You heard it? Yeah, they gonna put you in the blender and then dunk on you.

41:33Joe Johnson:Huh? Damn. Put you in the blender, boy. Hey, I'm telling you, when I put that ball on the floor, Joe, it's gonna be hell, boy.

41:41Shannon Sharpe:Hey, Chet, Chet.

41:42Joe Johnson:I'm still mad the way y 'all sabotaged my goddamn film, too.

41:45Shannon Sharpe:Chet, Chet, I promise you, Chet, this shit gonna go viral. You hear me? It's gonna go viral.

41:52Joe Johnson:Yeah, it's gonna go viral, cuz I'm gonna wash you, boy. When it comes to advancing your education, you have more options than you think.
