In short

Sports talk and predictions (NBA playoff game analysis, World Cup discussion, and NFL prop-style segments), plus a Q&A with fan voicemails and a “5 WRs that need a bounce back season” list.

Guests/backgrounds

No formal guest hosts named. The episode features recurring hosts Shannon (Ocho), Joe, and Iso/Unk-style callers. Guest content comes from Discord/video voicemail fans: D.O. Butler (Jacksonville; 61st birthday shoutout), Luis (Memphis; turning 28; asks about turf/grass), plus other superchat/Discord messages.

Key claims

  • NBA: Spurs’ defense and desperation are credited for OKC’s struggles; OKC needs someone to step up in Game 5/next game; don’t overreact to being down 2-2.
  • Soccer: PSG’s Champions League struggles are blamed on poor team chemistry despite Messi/Mbappé/Neymar era expectations; Mbappé allegedly “doesn’t mesh” with teammates.
  • Turf: U.S. stadiums stay turf mainly for maintenance and cost; grass is harder to replace, especially in cold cities.

Notable examples

  • NBA: OKC shooting/defensive performance; comparisons to 2012 Bobcats; discussion of Chet vs Wembanyama fluidity.
  • NFL WR bounce-back list: Keon Coleman, Brian Thomas Jr., Quentin Johnson, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Jerry Judy mentioned as competition.

17:11So why is the U.S. always been predominantly turf-based?

17:17Shannon Sharpe:It's easier to maintain. Bingo. It's cheaper because so now, guess what? They tear that grass up and then I got to replace it. That turf, I ain't got to do nothing. I ain't got to replace that turf.

17:31Joe Johnson:At all. And especially on top of that too, you think about some of the cold-weather cities, Some of the cities where it gets cold, Buffalo, Pittsburgh. New York. Philly. Yeah, New York. You don't have to deal with any kind of maintenance at all. Hey, if you got regular grass, hey, it's hell.

17:50Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And then some teams, like Pittsburgh, the Panthers and the Steelers play there. And that's why it looks terrible. So it's easier to maintain. It's cheaper. I mean especially like Ocho said when the weather gets bad now the Texans you know the Texans got grass but it's Texas, Arizona they got rollout, they rolled the grass out, they rolled up in big old big balls

18:21Joe Johnson:Arizona and Houston they got that Bermuda grass I think the Raiders do too man it is beautiful, it's so flat I'm going to get me immaculate

18:30Shannon Sharpe:I grass what you call them Bronco when I played man I man that thing was

18:41Shannon Sharpe:it was real grass yeah absolutely absolutely which I'd rather play on the grass or turtle

18:52Joe Johnson:I've never had a problem with any joke and I'm really the wrong one to ask but with the injuries that continue to happen year in and year out I'm starting to think there's something wrong with the turf. I'm starting to think, I'm starting to believe it, you know, that there's a problem with the surface. But the fact that I was able to play on the turf for so many years in Cincinnati, I ain't never play on grad, Joe.

19:14Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah?

19:14Joe Johnson:And I was fine. I never had any, you know, any lower extremity injuries. So, but with all the other players getting hurt, man, I just like, maybe we need to go back to grad.

19:24Shannon Sharpe:But see, Ocho, you didn't get an opportunity to play on the Astro Turf where it was just concrete with that green sheet on the top of it. Yeah, yeah. That's what butch. Hey, you played on that, huh? Y 'all used to have that. Oh, Riverfront Stadium, yes. Yes. For real? Yeah, I missed that. I missed that, what? About two, three years, huh? Cincinnati, Philly was terrible. The old House of Pain, the Astrodome. Yeah. Kansas City, actually, believe it or not, used to be turf. I ain't know that. Yes. The old King though, with the Seahawks, before they moved to Lumen Field, they had turf. Yeah. Hey, you probably get some mean turf birds.

20:11Shannon Sharpe:Man, you had a, man, look here.

20:14Joe Johnson:Hey, that shower after the game, Joe. Oh, Lord, have mercy on both, Joe. You had them turf birds. Yeah. Like on the elbows. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Man, your ass.

20:24Shannon Sharpe:Man, you don't even know it. Man, you get in. Man, damn, what's that?

20:32Joe Johnson:Hey Joe, that junk hurts. Yeah, yeah.

20:35Shannon Sharpe:And it doesn't heal because guess what? You gonna be falling again. Yeah. You gonna be falling on that back again. Yeah, man. I don't miss that turf. I'm trying to think who else has some, I'm talking about some just terrible turf.

24:31Shannon Sharpe:that was that was about it but and then then it went to grass but hey i don't know like i said to see barry on that turf good luck tackle my goodness good luck good luck because he was just it wasn't fair.

24:54Joe Johnson:And we, after all these years, we still ain't seen nothing like it.

24:57Shannon Sharpe:You'll never see anything like it.

24:58Joe Johnson:God only made one of them. I think the closest thing we've got to it, that's not, not, almost, not even almost, somewhat comparable, but Sean McCoy in his prime, now B. John Robinson. That's able to come to balance, entice faces and make people like that, and then get back to full speed.

25:19Shannon Sharpe:The difference is between those two guys, Ocho, they're one-foot planters. If you look at Barry, Barry would literally hop, stop on both feet. He was like a slalom skier. I mean, the way – I'm like, bro, how you – man, if I did that, ACL, patella gone. Everything gone. You just have to see the way his body – how his body – the dorsal flexing in his ankles, the way his body just moved, Ocho. So you have, like I said, some things you just need to see for yourself. I got an opportunity to see him up close and personal. On Thanksgiving, no lits.

25:56Joe Johnson:Yes, sir.

25:59Shannon Sharpe:Lord, have mercy. Like I said, some things like you need to see Jordan play or I wish I could have saw Michael Phelps swim or Usain Bolt run. But to see Barry Sanders run a football, Good Lord. I told y 'all, Uncle Iso, keep that bad juju on the other side. Now y 'all, now y 'all, now that steak went back with OKC. Them nuns, bless the Spurs with a dub tonight. Hey, they might put them nuns on the plane and send them to OKC. Hey, they damn sure brought them some good luck. Go Spurs, Uncle Iso. I live in Portland, Oregon. What do the Blazers need most new player-wise next season? Well, Dame's going to come back.

26:55Shannon Sharpe:Dame's going to be back.

26:59Shannon Sharpe:Denny. Dame and Denny, I like that. You can put them in the pick and roll. You got Clingon. You got a big. What are they going to do with Grant? What are they going to do with Shane Sharp? Joe, I thought he was playing well. Hey, that's the high flyers? And what's the young cat who came in with Wimby? Yeah, what they going to do with school? I mean, you going to keep school? I mean, I think Holiday is a free agent. Are you going to bring Holiday back? I think they got some questions, you know, that they have to answer for their team. But I'm thinking they expecting Dame to come back can probably be at least a 22 to 25 point score.

27:44Shannon Sharpe:Okay, Ocho. Yes. Yes. So we'll see. It's going to be fun to see him back out there playing. But we'll see the dynamics of that team. I think you got to find a way to keep Grant. You know, you got to keep them long-ranging guys because they ain't the best defender. So you want to surround him with guys who don't mind playing defense and doing some dirty work. I agree. Hey, fam. Hey fam, this is from Dr. Frank F. Bellamy. Hey fam, is there any possibility you'll bring the bucket hat, like the clip we saw with Tim Johnson? I think nightcap bucket hats would go hard. Love y 'all. Man. What bucket?

28:25Shannon Sharpe:Man, do you remember the dude that was imitating me in the Hard Knocks video? Oh man, I would say that was funny, boy.

28:32Joe Johnson:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I used to wear bucket hats for like five or six years.

28:37Shannon Sharpe:That's all I wore, everywhere I went. not just in the meeting, but I'm talking about when I went out, I would have a bucket hat on. Yeah. And people like that. I don't know if you could, the only way I knew it was you because of the hat. Yeah, yeah. That tear, that old boy that did Ray, any dogs in the house? Yeah. Hey. Hold on, hold on though. The dude who did you with that bucket hat, boy, I'm talking about he had you down to the teeth. Hey, the way he moved his lips, the way he talked that, he had me in tears. I ain't. Oh, then you're gonna have a hat down. I couldn't see you. But the thing is, like, to me, to my ear, he sound like me.

29:17Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I mean, so to my ear, I'm like, man, when dude came out there, man, I was like, man, I said, oh, my goodness.

29:27Joe Johnson:Hey, that wasn't Gary Baxter, wasn't it?

29:29Shannon Sharpe:No, no, no, his name was Tim Johnson.

29:32Joe Johnson:Okay.

29:32Shannon Sharpe:He was a linebacker out of Youngtown State.

29:36Joe Johnson:Hey, that's classic.

29:38Shannon Sharpe:For this game, it was OKB. B stands for bricks. Chad, Ocho, Iso could have built a wall with those bricks. Well, obviously, I didn't expect them to shoot like they shot the lights out of the ball in game three. I didn't expect that. But I didn't expect them to play as bad. But I think we need to give some of that credit to the Spurs. The Spurs. Yeah, you got to get – They were locked in tonight. You got to give all their credit to the Spurs because they were the more desperate team considering the fact they knew going back to OKC, they couldn't go back down 3-1.

30:18Shannon Sharpe:No serve.

30:25Shannon Sharpe:How y 'all in the chat going to complain about ads? Ungrateful. But I keep telling them to keep complaining about the ads, but every time we turn around, hey, what you call me, a raise. The gravity and raise. Hey, gravity be over there showing them. They do. Hey. Gravity. I threw a little something at them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What up, big three? ISO, start bench cut. Grant Hill, Pippen, Dominique, Ocho, Megatron, Julio, Lafis, Gerald,

31:10Shannon Sharpe:John Mackie, Ozzy, Kellen Winslow. Boy, it's me. It's me. Big Kel, I'm starting. I'm benching Ozzy. I'm cutting Mackie. Sorry.

31:25Shannon Sharpe:I'm starting to need benching Pip, and I got to cut Grant. Ooh, Ocho. Megatron, Julio, laugh is geral. Damn.

31:36Joe Johnson:Yeah, I'm taking stats out of it. I'm not even looking at stats, but that's everything everybody can go off of. I'm just going to go off of what them boys did on the field. Okay. I'm going Calvin Johnson, starting. Julio. Benching. And Larry Fitzpatrick, you can cut. Yeah, I'm not doing stats and all that. Could you go by that? You know, it won't tell the story on how special he can do this. And hell with all that.

32:03Shannon Sharpe:You do realize, Ocho Super Freak Cinco, and if you met another, he's a phony. It's great to see two teams that were cultivated and internally built battle on the biggest stages. put down that coat, Orange Juice Jones. I saw you and him. And him. Hey, hey. Walking in the rain. Going in here. You missed me? I'm going in the juice.

32:33Joe Johnson:We'll sing that again.

32:34Shannon Sharpe:Orange Juice Jones.

32:35Joe Johnson:That's right, man. Let me put that in my library right now.

32:38Shannon Sharpe:I missed you so much. I followed you today. So come on in and close your mouth. You cold busted. Yeah, no, no, no, look at it there. Everything that you came with is packed up into the closet. Yeah, yeah. So you didn't come out here with that. Like, what if you were a crumb kick? I saw you with.

32:59Shannon Sharpe:Castle should stay aggressive, but I think the Spurs play better team ball when he's not always in John Morant mode and not forcing it. The West is the best. Yeah. He is great in spurts. Yes. But when you overuse him too damn much, that's when them big turnovers started to happen. He's 6, 7, 8, 9 turnovers, and that can hurt you. But I love the way they use him. He's not a natural point either, though, Aiso. He what? He's not a natural point guard. No, no, no, no, no. He's a great combo guard. Ocho, PSG fans since 2014, 14, can you tell everyone about PSG's struggles to win the CL before last year?

33:41Shannon Sharpe:And what's your score prediction for the finals this year?

33:46Joe Johnson:You know what the funny thing about it? When you look at PSG, obviously when I thought they would dominate. Not only were they playing in the French League, but obviously Champions League when they had Messi, who, Aonk and Joe, they had Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar on the same team. You think about those two obviously playing up front. They should dominate everything from an offensive perspective. It didn't work. Everybody now, they make jokes about Mbappe being a dictator, not really meshing well with some of the superstars around him, always commanding the ball in general. The funny thing, Mbappe leaves.

34:22Right away, PSG win the whole thing.

34:26Joe Johnson:Again this year, Mbappe and Real Madrid, they don't play well. goddamn PSG right back in Champions League final again. They play on the 30th. They play so well as a team without even though Mbappe is probably arguably maybe the best player in the world right now. He just doesn't play well collectively with his teammates and I don't understand why when he's so goddamn good. It's confusing to me where I understand the game of soccer and don't understand why he can't play better with others. Yeah, he doesn't He doesn't play well with others. Despite him being so skillful, so fast, I don't know. It's weird.

35:06Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, you ever had Marlon weighing cigars? Panel, what playoff team Chris Paul could have helped?

35:22Shannon Sharpe:Man, I think they might have put that word on Chris Paul.

35:27Shannon Sharpe:What do you mean? look

35:33Shannon Sharpe:I mean I think he could have helped somebody but the problem is it seemed to me teams wanted Chris Paul for mentorship Chris Paul want to play so you know how some guys it's okay being that this is what you need to do blah blah blah so forth and so on some guys are okay with that role it didn't seem to me that Chris Paul was going to be okay with that role so nah You look at Philly, and you look at Kyle Lowry sitting over there, who's won a championship, who's been a great player in this league. I don't even know when the last time I seen him touch the damn flow. Warm up, free game. That's it.

36:14Shannon Sharpe:He over the – he standing up. He give you 600 claps a game. You know what I mean? He keep your young players in line. He's an extension of the coach. CP ain't trying to do that. CP want to play. I think CP, the obvious team for me in this postseason, obviously the Rockets, and to some degree, I think he could have helped Detroit. Yes. Meaning you move Cade to the two or the three, take him off the ball, and then, you know, you kind of use him in that way. I think Cade is a guy who you can maneuver around, and if you need good point guard play, somebody who could just, you know, orchestrate it.

36:52Shannon Sharpe:You know, they ain't got to do a whole hell of a lot, but you know they ain't going to do nothing to hurt you neither. You know what I mean? I agree, Joe. What's up? Can't wait for the NFL to start so we can get at each other's necks again on Philly. What drives you to keep pushing past haters? Love the show. Success brings enemies. We're going to have haters. Now the thing is we've always had haters, guys. We just didn't have a platform where we could hear them or see them. And guess what? If you ain't got no haters, you ain't popping. Hey, if you ain't got no haters, you ain't popping. Hey, you ain't got no haters, you ain't popping.

37:30Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

37:34Shannon Sharpe:You know, I used to block. I ain't blocking no more haters because I need them to see these blessings. If I block them, they can't see the blessings they got me getting. Ooh, I like that. They can't see, Ocho. But what I don't understand, Joe, I just need somebody to help me understand. I don't like, if I don't like something, why would I go buy it? Well, I don't like a person. Why would I go to their platform?

38:02Shannon Sharpe:Get to get a reaction. Yeah. You said you don't like me. Okay. So why are you here? I unfollowed you. Bro, you an airline? You don't need to rouse your arrival or departure.

38:16Joe Johnson:Hey, that's my line I've been using on Twitter.

38:19Shannon Sharpe:Bro, okay. Okay. You don't like me. Okay. You made that clear. So what you trying to drumming up, you trying to summons up other people. So they don't like me either either. I'm like, bro. It's Yep

38:38Shannon Sharpe:But If the if some of them haters that got platform, they'd be trying to hit me They do

38:49Joe Johnson:Well, how the hell I be missing it all the time

38:52Shannon Sharpe:Cuz they don't ever put you dead. Oh, they don't never say anything about you. Oh choice even though you might say something they loot me in it because if they put me in the thumbnail people gonna click what did Unk do now right

39:09Joe Johnson:hey let me know next time it happens so I go at their neck

39:12Shannon Sharpe:we good we just let them hang in their little 4000 views okay see look completely shook tonight Spurs turned them into the 2012 Bobcats and has SGA fighting for every bucket. That's what you gotta do. You gotta make it tough on it. Hey, and it's been like that all series. It has, it really has. Yeah, it's hard. It seemed like it's been hard for OKC to come by points. Obviously, they benched one of them game four. But hell, they gonna need somebody to step up in game five. Game three, I mean. And Blades say, I wonder if Shea fell for his lady, like how often he falls in the game.

39:58Shannon Sharpe:He hit the ground a lot, don't he? Yes. But he have a body suit on, Ocho, Joe. He got pads. You know, he got those pads, those side pads. He got, yeah. He got those, yeah.

40:11Shannon Sharpe:Shit. Chet, look, he's seven foot. He looking more like an L.A. fitness player than an all-star. Straight up, bro. They making it tough on him. They are. They making it tough on him. Because think about it. He's not as fluid. He's four inches, five inches shorter than Wimby. He's not as fluid as Wimby. No, he's not. He's not. You look at Wimby. You look at Wimby, how Wimby get the ball, boop, boop, boop, crossover, spin. That ain't Chet. No.

40:45Joe Johnson:Listen, we've been spoiled by Kevin Durant. And we've been spoiled by Wimby because they're twitchy. and they're great with the ball in their hands.

40:52Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. What players did you guys enjoy to watch most growing up? Bob Sanders and Ricky Williams were my favorite to watch.

41:02Joe Johnson:Oh, Bullet Bob. Boy, that was my boy everywhere. I love Bob Sanders. Growing up when I was playing, my favorite to watch was Randy and T.O. You were a couple of years younger. We talking about when you was talking about 10, 12. Oh, now with that little? Oh. Oh. Hey, well that's easy. You played the same time they played. Hey, the Marx Brothers. But even when I was born, hey, I enjoyed it. I would like to look. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's before I came to understand who was the standard at the position. The 80 over there in San Francisco. I didn't know that yet.

41:42Shannon Sharpe:Hey, for me, it was Jordan, Penny Hardaway. T-Mac and Kobe I enjoyed watching all them dudes boy

41:56Joe Johnson:oh man hey matter of fact you know what

41:58Shannon Sharpe:what's up

41:59Joe Johnson:when I think about it everybody you just named they on my hit list too so when I'm done with your ass you tell Penny you tell Jordan I don't care who he is leave that NASCAR shit alone come see me one on one

42:20Shannon Sharpe:And we can bet whatever too Tell him we can bet whatever Lead him out of this You got a lot on your damn hands right now You Hold on time out Who got a lot on their hands You

42:36Joe Johnson:Both of them gonna be full of Joe saying Nah Man listen Joe is an appetizer to me man

42:44Shannon Sharpe:Damn appetizer

42:47Joe Johnson:He's an appetizer to me man That's easy work. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You don't understand who you're dealing with, huh?

42:58Shannon Sharpe:How is that? Good defense when you gave up 103 and only scored 83.

43:08Shannon Sharpe:Look, I mean, 100 points in the NBA ain't nothing. Hell no. I mean, you look at the average. The average is probably like one, what did you say, Joe? 110, 115? Yeah, by 115, 115, 112, something like that. 83, yeah. But look at the percentage in which they shot. One team shot 33%. The other team was under 40%. Both teams was under 35 % from the three. One team was under 30%. And I think that because both defenses played really well. We know both teams have outstanding defenses. We thought it was rare that San Antonio, with the defense that they play, allowed OKC to shoot 50 % the last game. Yeah, yeah.

43:56Shannon Sharpe:They too good defensively, bro. When you get guys who take on that challenge to guard their yard and don't need a lot of help, because that's what I seen tonight. It was like, I got this. Hey, that was impressive tonight, bro. OKC is down 220-point scores, and it's 2-2 going back to OKC. I think they're fine. Let's not overreact. Okay, they're down. Let me ask you a question. Are those two 20-point scores coming back next game? Yeah or no?

44:26Shannon Sharpe:I don't think it's time to panic, but I don't think you are in Namaste as you think you are. What's up, fam? I tune in every night. Tomorrow is my 28th birthday. Hoping for a birthday shout-out. About to be on that LaPortier row all night. hey happy birthday bro man you had some kind of week memorial day weekend your birthday falls on memorial day ah boy i know you been on that thing for a minute oh well they can they couldn't let my birthday fall on the holiday it's a holiday too yeah hey it's a holiday ain't nothing to do man always something to do yes sir nah nah my my baby at home just because your baby home down I don't mean somebody else baby at home, damn.

I need Brian Tomlin Jr. I need Brian Tomlin Jr. to look like he's rookie here. He needs to have a bounce back here. He's very, very capable of doing so. That's two. I need Quentin Johnson to pick up where he left off last year. Down there and say, I need him to show he can be a true number one, especially after they let Ken Allen go the first time.

Clearly I know who some are, I just don't know these. Right. Hey, hey, yeah, you, we all know who they are, hell. It's a billion dollar issue. I mean, I named Sims, Chechik, Minnie Stallion, Angela White, like, Hell, like the, uh, Abbey the Mystique,

1:01:19Joe Johnson:See, I don't know them because I haven't, ever since I retired from that field, I haven't watched it in a while.

1:01:26Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but I'll... Hey, what's up, John? No, look at you, hey, you, you find you somebody to do all that. How you need to do it right there. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I got me like, I got me. I'm like, who? I'm like, I don't know. Now y 'all got me one of them. I ain't for to put that on my phone.

1:01:51Joe Johnson:Go ahead. Go ahead. Hey, look at, look at, look at, look at Mrs. Cherokee. Look at Pinky. Hey, Pinky in her prime was like Julio Jones, AB, man. Okay. I'm gonna give it to you in football terminology. Pinky in her prime and Cherokee, Julio Jones is one and AB is the other. That's all I'm gonna say. Okay. I'm gonna leave it like that. Okay. You know, I just, I just, I done been there.

1:02:18Shannon Sharpe:I done been on set. I ain't no been on set. I ain't gonna be on set either. But you know, they got the convention. They had a convention, the AVN convention out here, Ocho.

1:02:26Joe Johnson:Oh, why you mean tell me? Mm-hmm.

1:02:31Shannon Sharpe:Damn. Look at Joe. Joe Googled. Look at old Joe. Joe looking out of the photo. Oh, my bro. Nah, nah, nah. Y 'all got to chill. Y 'all got to chill. Y 'all got to chill. Y 'all got to chill. Y 'all got to chill. Y 'all got to chill. Y 'all got to chill. Y 'all got to chill. Y 'all got to chill, now. Let me see what's going on.

1:02:54Shannon Sharpe:But I put that on my ground. but I have never heard of these ladies before in my life. Hey, don't worry about it. I told you who it was. But that old church going, Joy, know who every last one of them was. Yeah. But he quit. Hey, boss, you want to go to church with me on Sunday? Nah, yeah, nah. Nah.

1:03:22Shannon Sharpe:What was the divisional week versus Tennessee like? That's real football back then. T.O. should have been a top 100 all-time team. I agree. To have the guys there who played before TV was invented is wild. Man, look. It was Steelers and Tennessee. Because all of us was in the same division. That was the old central. Tennessee, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, and Pittsburgh. It was five of us in that division.

1:04:01Shannon Sharpe:It was hell. Because Tennessee at the time, I don't think they had ever beaten Tennessee. So, and then they beat us the first time we played. We beat them at their place. We were the first team to beat them in their place. It used to be El Adelphi. Did you play there, El Cho? You played in Adelphi? You played there, didn't you? you had to

1:04:27Joe Johnson:the Titans used to play no no remember no you had to they had grass right yes the first time I played in Tennessee I think Pac-Man was there I think Pac-Man rookie year oh gosh I don't know I don't think that's Delphi Okay. Yeah, it was. Remember when Keith Bullock and Samari Rowe were playing with the Titans?

1:05:03Shannon Sharpe:Yes, that was in 2001, Ocho. Yeah, they came to us in Cincinnati. Oh, okay. But that wasn't a home. Y 'all was in the same division. This should have been a home and a road game.

1:05:14Joe Johnson:Oh, no, no, no. Okay. The division was still Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Baltimore during that time. or at least when I got there. Yeah.

1:05:30Shannon Sharpe:Yes, but T.O. should have been made the top 100. I got T.O. as the top three receiver all time. He definitely should have been on the top 100 list. Another old school way is whatever truck your dad got when you were younger is the same truck you must buy as a man. My dad got a Chevy. I got a Chevy. Old Mississippi Way. Yep, my grandfather had a custom deluxe. it was black body, white top and had a burgundy interior.

1:05:59Shannon Sharpe:I ain't want no pickup truck. We had a pickup truck when I was in high school. Me and my brother bought a pickup truck together. Custom to Luck, Brown. Two-tone, you know. Bench, you know, had the bench seat. Yeah. You know, sneak a peek in the Pecan Orchard, you know. Yeah.

1:06:22Shannon Sharpe:If the Thunder loses, how do you feel about Zack Eady replacing Chet? No. Hell no. He's even slower. Man, we'd be average 50 on him, going around him. Yeah, yeah. At least Chet can move his feet a little bit. Absolutely right. Hey, fellas. Did you ever match up with time and what were your numbers? Ocho, who you got winning the World Cup? of ISO after seeing Beasley last fight. Would you do an MMA match with Ocho? No, I ain't never matched up with Time. We played, I'm trying to think. We played Time, I only played against, no, I played against Time in 94 when he was at the 49ers. I played against Time in 98.

1:07:14Shannon Sharpe:Hold on. Did I play against? played against him in 95, 98, and I played against him when he was in Washington. I might have played against Ty when he was in, no, he was in Washington. He was in Washington when we played. So I played against Ty four times, but we never matched up. Oh, he's not winning the World Cup.

1:07:40Joe Johnson:Oh, man. That's a good one.

1:07:52Joe Johnson:I think France might pull it off this year.

1:07:55Shannon Sharpe:You going to France, you going to Mbappe, huh?

1:07:57Joe Johnson:Yeah, they might pull it off. Hey, man, them boys lower the Joe from top to bottom, Joe.

1:08:01Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

1:08:02Joe Johnson:At every position, they know weakness. Obviously, every team has great players, but I'm talking about the strength at each position is really, really, really the cream of the crop.

1:08:14Shannon Sharpe:Hey.

1:08:15Joe Johnson:Yeah. Especially defensively. That got their back line, midfield, attackers. I mean, it's crazy. Now, you look at some of the other teams in Argentina and Portugal and, you know, Colombia, it's great players at specific positions. But across the board, man, France is loaded at every spot.

1:08:36Shannon Sharpe:Hey, that last question, yes, I will whoop his ass in some MMA. I will whoop his ass. Your ass. I will whoop your ass.

1:08:44Joe Johnson:Listen, listen. Wait a minute. Wait, I'm glad you said that because we can get in the ring and do it. Do it Lance Stevenson and Michael Beasley just did. What?

1:08:51Shannon Sharpe:Well, I will whoop your ass. I'll tell you that now.

1:08:54Joe Johnson:Please, please. Somebody set it up, man.

1:08:56Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. We're going to save you a little money. Yeah. Go ahead. Hey, hey, hey. Can I bet that I beat him in the first round? You can bet on yourself. Hold on.

1:09:07Joe Johnson:Hold on. Can I bet I'll put you in a guillotine and make you tap out? Yeah, you bet. Yeah, let's bet. Joe, I will break your fucking arm, Joe.

1:09:19Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I promise you. That shit won't last 30, 40 seconds. I'm going to keep him around a little longer so, you know, Chad and the people can have a good little show, but I'm going to whoop his ass.

1:09:30Joe Johnson:Joe, hey, the fact that Joe continue to forget I have a combat, I have a background in combat sports. I don't care nothing about that.

1:09:37Shannon Sharpe:I don't care nothing about that damn background combat sports.

1:09:40Joe Johnson:Okay, okay. You know what? From this point on, Joe, I'm going to fuck you up on site. Yeah, on site. Okay. On site. I can't wait. On site. Like, don't even talk. Right. Don't say nothing. Absolutely. The first thing coming is the punch.

1:09:54Shannon Sharpe:Understood. Understood. Okay. Night Cal, what up, though? I'm from Detroit. What will it take for my Pistons and Lions to both bring the city championships? What moves need to be made? Hey, y 'all got everything. You need some more scoring with the Pistons, bro. You got to get some more offensive weapons. And I think that should be able to get you over the top. Because defensively, they're a great defensive team. But you got to be able to put up points. Man, I think what you call them. I think Detroit had a great chance. They had a 20-something point lead on San Francisco, Joe. Ocho. You remember they was out in San Francisco?

1:10:33Shannon Sharpe:And they had that big old lead? and then squadron in San Francisco cutting all the way back and end up going to the Super Bowl? Y 'all got it. Yeah. Staying healthy. That's the number one thing for the Lions, to stay healthy. That completes this episode of Nightcap. We have a tied series. OKC is going back home, tied 2-2.
