Nightcap Hour Part 2: Unc & Ocho are joined by Leonard Williams + Travis Hunter welcomes his first son

21:50Ligger than five. Yes, sir. That's my team. From L.A., baby.

21:55Shannon Sharpe:Man, Lita, thanks for joining us, man. Stay healthy. Yes, sir. Great A. Tremendous season last year. Hopefully even better season this year, man. Thanks for dropping by. And guess what? When you get those double-digit sacks this year and make first-team All-Pro, come back and tell us about it. Yes, sir. I appreciate y 'all having me, man. All right, bro. Thanks for joining us, bro. Appreciate you. I'll see you on that boat. I got you. I got you.

22:20Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, we got a little bad news. Chiefs wide receiver Rasheed Rice has accepted a six-game suspension for violating the NFL personal conduct policy. In July, Rice was suspended, was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years probation for his role in a multi-car crash in Dallas that left multiple people injured during the 2024 offseason. Ocho, how much does this hurt the Chiefs' start to the 2025 season? It doesn't hurt the Chiefs at all. It doesn't hurt the Chiefs at all, especially from an offensive perspective. They have Patrick Mahomes at the helm. They have Patrick Mahomes at the helm. You look at situations similar to when Tyreek left.

22:56That offense didn't miss a beat because the quarterback is that great. Now, they still have Hollywood Brown, so they'll be fine. I'm missing somebody. They still have Xavier Worthy. And one thing about that offense is each game, you never know whose day it's going to be. As great as Rasheed Rice is, when he's out there on the field, it's an awesome thing. with him being absent for six games, the Chiefs offense is not going to miss a beat. That's just how great that quarterback is.

23:26Shannon Sharpe:Well, I think the thing is that you look at Rasheed Rice's rookie season, they won the championship. And he was only getting better before he got hurt last year. Look at the numbers that he was putting up. And plus when Tyreek left, Travis Kelton was at his apex. The question is, can he still, can he summons it up again? and give you those type of seasons. We saw a dip in the production. He had the fewest amount of catches, the fewest amount of yards that he's had in probably a decade. So what we saw last year is not the Travis Kelsey that we're used to seeing. Can he say he lost 25 pounds? He got back.

24:03Shannon Sharpe:Congratulations, Trav, on getting married. It's going to be unbelievable. That's going to be the spectacle. That might be Lady Di and Prince Charles. That might be something. I mean, I don't know the last time we've had a wedding that's going to be to the scale of what this is. Given who he is, given who she is, that's going to be something special. But I do think it'll hurt Ocho. Now, the question is, is Hollywood Brown all the way back? Is Hollywood going to be Hollywood? He's healthy. Xavier Worthy looked good. He looked unbelievable in the Super Bowl. Now, look, it's hard for me to really judge it on that, Ocho, because he's so far behind.

24:45Shannon Sharpe:and they just like, hey, do what you want to do, bro. Them empty calorie yard, they ain't doing nothing. But I did see as the season progressed, I saw Xavier Worthy get better and better and better. Yeah. And so I'm counting on him to build on that. The question, again, the question, what does Neff got? What is Trav going to be able to give you? Can he summons it up one more time and give you what? Because he had a great, what was that? The Texans, he had a game. But after that, that was not the Travis Kelsey we're used to seeing. But also, you have to understand, from a defensive perspective, when you go into a game like that and you're playing the Chiefs, defensively you make your adjustments based on trying to stop 87.

25:31Yes. How do we stop the Chiefs offense? Well, for one, you take away Patrick Mahomes, number one target, number one weapon. That's Travis Kelsey. So, obviously, with teams eyeing on him a little bit more than others, now you need other players to step up to the plate and show that they can also be dominant at a position and hurt you as well them moving Xavier Worthy around put him in different positions to make plays this year you got a Hollywood Brown coming back acclimated into the system he's healthy this year fast as hell yeah they got they got a little mini four by one track team two over there now so they ain't no slouches so I think they're not going to miss a beat offensively when Rasheed Rice does come back, that will make them that much better because it adds another weapon to Patrick Mahomes' arsenal.

26:16Shannon Sharpe:I think the biggest thing for them is that can they protect Mahomes? The offensive line has to be preserved. That was the problem last year, especially in that Philly game. Especially in that Philly game. It was part of the problem throughout the season last year, and it happened in spurts. Mahomes running for his life, but obviously it came to a head when they played a defensive line like them goddamn Eagles, and boy oh man that was that was embarrassing i i feel i feel i feel bad i feel i feel bad for pat it seemed like as soon as he got the ball they was in his face yeah they were i mean we saw this before in tampa when they played tampa in the super bowl in tampa he didn't have time and and it doesn't matter we saw this with tom brady with the giants when you got you we saw this with uh with Manning against Seattle.

27:05Shannon Sharpe:It doesn't matter who you are. Cam against the Broncos. Cam against the Broncos, yeah. Yep, I was at that game.

27:14Shannon Sharpe:But he accepted that. They were looking to get the reports where they were looking for a whole season. The NFLPA like, nah, we can't drive with that. But he says, okay, six games. Let me go ahead and get this behind me so I can move forward with my life and this season. So Rasheed Rice has accepted a six-game suspension for violating the NFL personal conduct policy. Michael Parsons, the Green Bay rumors were in full swing this morning with this picture surface of him at DFW. Well, James Slater reports Michael was just seeking a second opinion on his back.

27:55Here's what you missed. And the argument is, do you want to win? If you don't win, you have no power. It's real.

I knew that the issue of transgender athletes was not going well with a lot of black men. Roland Martin unfiltered. I went off. I said, this is exactly what I'm talking about.

Play dates, checkups, laundry, diapers, work, groceries. So it's easy to make a mistake. Oh, I forgot birthday candles. We say we'd never put our kids in danger by leaving them in the car alone. Sit tight, hon. I'll be right back. But temperatures as low as 60 degrees can be deadly for children left behind.

29:14So always bring them with you. And every time you park the car, stop, look, lock. Brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council. Our town is small taters by most standards, right? But to the people who grew up here, it's everything. What happens when a quiet Tennessee town becomes the front line in a battle over the future of America? Developers with right-wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land in the area. The first thing you see when it pops up is pioneers in Appalachia. But they weren't just planting houses. We need cities on a shining hill that exemplify and embody the Christian way of life.

29:51Stop right there. Is that normal? A podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment. God need men to rule. Great. And decides to fight back. Do not use my hard work to sell your bull. They're not just opposing what's being planned for here. Our hometown is not a test tube. They feel like they're standing in opposition to an entire administration. Guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to Our Town starting August 7th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Munga Shatikula and I'm back with a new season of the podcast Skyline Drive.

30:32This time I'm diving into a rabbit hole of peptides, organoids, blood boys, blue zones, and brain replacement to try to understand what this longevity obsession is all about and what it really means to live forever for all of us. I learned about some rad science. I can make a brain for you and then we can test what draw is the best for your brain as opposed to his brain. Here's some hard truths. I would expect Indians to age faster, but I did not expect it to be almost a four to five year acceleration. And get myself into a world of trouble. I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work.

31:16Make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know. Listen to Skyline Drive, How to Live Forever on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

31:27Shannon Sharpe:the Cowboys had Parsons undergoing MRI on his back Sunday and coach Brian Schottenheimer said the results were pretty clean if Parsons going to continue to hold in until he receives a contract extension he'll need the doctor to sign off his back tightness being too much to play through

31:47Shannon Sharpe:what you thinking Ocho I love the game huh for the love of the game Jerry can play his, then Micah can play his. It's all a game at the end of the day. You know how it goes. Oh, that's how you feel? Well, shoot, that's how I feel. My back hurt. I got to get a second opinion. So we can both play the same game. And I don't think Micah ain't going to fold no time soon. You know, if anything, honestly, if I was him, I wouldn't play week one. I wouldn't play week one. You're trying to gain some of that Emmitt Smith leverage. Yeah. So you go out there, you're playing the Eagles. You need all hands on deck for one to be playing the defending Super Bowl champions, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

32:31Your best player not playing? Okay. Jerry, you got your ego. You don't want to pay me? Cool. Let's see what you do without me. And don't go out there week two and you play the Giants and you start the season 0-2. Oh, no. Oh, no. Listen, to me, it adds a little pressure on Jerry. I got to do something. I got to do something. When you start out the whole 0-2, boy, listen, them fans over there, not that he cares, or the media or the pundits piling on top of the Cowboys. You're allowing your ego to get away. Well, I don't think winning is on the horizon. It's not his first thought when it comes to him being the owner.

33:15It's about lining the pockets and making as much as possible. So, I mean, he ain't won in 30 years, so it probably won't hurt. It won't hurt him until it hurts his pockets.

33:31Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but he's going to have to get a doctor to sign off. So, he'll get a doctor's note saying, hey, tell him my back type. It's hard because a lot of doctors are like, oh, man, you got me putting my credibility on the line. You got me putting my credibility on the line, man. But Micah, so there's nothing to him going to Green Bay. It's just a rumor circulating. He was in the airport going to get a second opinion on his back. Jaguars rookie wide receiver quarterback Travis Hunter is ready to play both ways in week one against the Panthers. Although Hunter was held out of some training camp practices and the final preseason game because of injury, Jaguars' James Gladstone says Hunter is now full speed on the practice field.

34:13Shannon Sharpe:He's on the grass today, and he's rolling full speed. We expect him to be who we know him to be, and that's somebody that impacts both sides of the football. We can't wait to see that on Sundays and one Monday night this season. Man, how did Jazz get a Monday night game? Who asked them for that? How did they get a Monday night game? Boy, Brian Tomlin Jr., Trevor Lawrence, ATN. Again, how did they get a Monday night game? With all those guys you just named, how many games did they win last year? It ain't about that. They got box office players that people want to see. They in Jacksonville. Jacksonville.

34:49Who? Jacksonville. The players. People want to see. Jacksonville. Travis Hunter, box office. Brian Tomlin Jr., box office. Yeah, I want to see that. We want to see that. We tune in.

35:02Shannon Sharpe:You want to see Papa Rod? You want to see Papa Rod at the Sydney Opera House? Or you want to see him in Jacksonville? You know what? As long as he's singing, I'm paying for it. there's a reason why there's a reason why there are memorable events uh uh uh the beatles on the ed sullivan show they're they're they're they're they're uh uh uh michael this at wembley stadium there's a reason talk to me venues matter right well talk to me let me tell you something venues matter but when certain people are going to be there i'm paying for it regardless beyond Check me out. Beyonce, let's say, at the Hard Rock Stadium where the Dolphins play.

35:44Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. She going to sell it out. Well, hell, Beyonce is the goddamn House of Blues, which is small and only sits 5 ,000. It's still going to sell out. Yeah. But Trevor Lawrence and Brian Thomas Jr. ain't Beyonce. I know, but I'm trying to give you a little perspective. I know, yeah. Because if I feel like the way I look at it, this is what I look at it. And you tell me what you think. If Beyonce goes and performs at the House of Blues, I'm going to feel that's more special because that's an intimate setting. That's not what she normally performs at. She normally performs at arenas. $80 ,000. I'm just wondering.

36:24Shannon Sharpe:She performs somewhere at$5 ,000? Oh, that's intimate. Oh, I know Beyonce. Oh, hey, man, where you going? Man, Beyonce playing at the House of Blues. Now you get tickets. Don't worry about that. Yeah. But see, so what does that tell you? So that tells you that it's an intimate setting Monday night because of Brian Tomlin Jr. and Travis Hunter, and the world wants to see it. I want to see it. So the NFL understands. I will watch him on Sunday. How do we create these eyes? Yeah, I think it has more to do with Travis. Honestly, I think it has more to do with him potentially playing both ways. because normally the one thing they always assured was you had to play a Thursday night game.

37:06Shannon Sharpe:Everybody had to play a Thursday night game or a Thursday game, Thursday night, Thursday. Cowboys play Cowboys normally play two. They normally play Thanksgiving and then they probably play the following Thursday. With that being said I'm anxious to see what he looks like on both sides of the world. Don't jump on our bandwagon either. Who? The Jaguars. Oh, that's your team now? No, I'm saying My receivers Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunt They're my people Yeah And we might win the AFC South So where Houston gonna go? Who? The Texans Area 29

37:57Shannon Sharpe:Ocho What's up Travis Hunter and his wife Lena Hey got some great news They're just announced They're having a son Hey Does fatherhood change your mentality on how you play the game And who you do it for A little bit in a sense Obviously once you have a child You want to play Especially when the baby is so young it's kind of different when the baby that young you know you just obviously you keep the main thing the main thing and want to be able to provide you know for for say a child but um my view in general on the game obviously with me having you know 374 kids it really never changed i just always kept the main thing the main thing and wanted to be graded my craft in general crap yeah yeah yeah but that's dope man did they have the baby or she pregnant she pregnant okay yeah that's dope that's live that's live that's live because i think the thing is on your phone you're like hey damn i sure wish we could have had these in the off season it is what it is uh because but i but i was very fortunate um my girlfriend at the time she was like hey you got to go to work right handle that i got this yeah okay um

Did they have the baby or did they have the baby? Was he... Oh, they already had it? Oh, man. Oh, okay.

40:42Shannon Sharpe:They want that thing to be perfect. They ain't trying to be pregnant. But, hey, congratulations on the birth of your first child, Travis and Leanna. Congratulations. Hopefully it's a healthy baby boy. Much success on the field and a happy home to you two guys. And if you need, if you need, holler at your boy. You know, but I've been there about 37 times. I got a nursery program, too. You know, I got a nursery program for kids. Ray John Rondo is dominating a rec league in flag football as a quarterback. Check out this video, Ocho.

41:32Okay.

41:44okay

41:57dang hey listen it looked good but I want to question the level of competition that I'm seeing here on film

42:10Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they're talking about he's the top-ranked flag footballer in the country. Not throwing underhand, he's not. I want to see. I need to see the competition. I need to see him against some better competition. You know, them look like, you know, Amazon drivers. You know, everybody taking a break. They off work, and they out there just playing flag. But, you know, Rayjean is an athlete. He can play a little bit of everything.

42:37Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, Cracker Bar logo is back to its original. The Cracker Barrel logo after a viral issue of the company being too woke. Yeah. If Cracker Barrel – Ocho? So if Cracker Barrel go back to their old – you know, they had the guy on the barrel. I think he's leaning on the rocking chair, right? He was in the rocking chair leaning on the barrel, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So if Cracker Barrel's going back to their OG logo, what NFL team should go back to their OG logo? Oh, that's a good one right there. the Bengals. Go back to the... Y 'all got the same logo! Stay with me real quick, huh? Oh, they had the Bengals.

43:18They didn't have the stripes. They had the Bengals written across the hill. Yeah, go back to that. And obviously, especially with the jerseys, with the jerseys, go back. Remember the Leapin' Tiger? Yeah. Leapin' Tiger used to be the logo, obviously, they went to the stripes, but I think the Leapin' Tiger uniform, bringing those back would be really dope. When I think about old... Well, I mean, most teams, obviously, they have alternative uniforms, I mean, alternate uniforms, which is, they already have their old logo. Now that I think about it, what else? That's pretty much it. I like the old Bengals uniform with the Leapman Tiger from back in the 80s and 90s.

43:53Outside of that, back to this Cracker Barrel thing, I'm confused. Why were people so upset about the logo? Was it offensive

43:59Shannon Sharpe:or something? Well, they changed it. So in other words, they just had Cracker Barrel. They had remove the man sitting in the rocking chair with his elbow on the drum excuse me, the barrel so I guess people that like Cracker Barrel said, hey, leave that alone, ain't nothing wrong with that, who was that man harmed so people complained about the logo when the food is still the same, have they ever had the mama's breakfast, have you ever had the mama's breakfast at Cracker Barrel, the pancakes I've had the pancakes I don't care about no damn logo is the food that, but they do they do Man, people are so finished.

44:38Shannon Sharpe:And look, and don't try to look. Don't try to prove no point. Don't be like, you know, some companies want to prove a point and then you had lost the value, had lost$143 million. I read maybe even more. Just go back. Over a logo? Yes, over a logo. Damn. Yeah, listen. Look.

45:06Shannon Sharpe:people is funny what people find offensive pride in or or don't want to let go of the same thing some people feel about these confederate monuments yes put them back up me look oh oh look like i give a private example like like i guess the aunt jemima that was my girl that was my girl man it tastes it i mean i wouldn't i'd be like man i ain't buying this syrup, man. Look at Aunt Jemima. I ain't look at it like that. I mean, I ain't. One time I go in the store and say, I'm not buying no Miss Butterworth or I ain't buying no Aunt Jemima or that other stuff because that's just me. I don't get too caught up in stuff like that, but hey, obviously some people do and to each their own.

45:54Shannon Sharpe:To each their own. They want to make a big deal out of it because it wasn't going to stop me from going to Cracker Barrel. If I'm hungry and I'm driving, obviously I don't think there's any Cracker Barrel. Are there any Cracker Barrels in Vegas, Jordan? nah there ain't no Cracker Barrels in Vegas but I'm saying let's just say for the sake of argument I can't remember I haven't driven more than an hour and probably oh my god I don't know how long but if I let's just say for the sake of argument I'm in Atlanta and I was driving somewhere and I got a taste for Cracker Barrel I'm going to stop by whether the logo the man in the rocket chair with his arm on a barrel or not it doesn't matter listen Hey, I don't know if anybody in the chat, obviously, you know, I eat all the simpler, finer things in life.

46:37Cracker Barrel right here.

46:38Shannon Sharpe:Along with the biscuits and gravy, good. I'm stopping. Period, man. That mama's breakfast, two eggs scrambled. Damn what y 'all say. Side of sausage. I don't know if it's the butter. I don't know if it's the batter in the pancakes or whether it's the syrup that's so goddamn good. Man, stop playing, man. Look. Hey, man. Look. And stop going. Man. Cracker Barrel. But, bro, if you go to a place like that, you're not going to eat no tofu. You're going to eat sausage, pancakes, bacon. You're going to eat waffles. You're going to eat biscuits and gravy. That's what you're going for. Hold on, hold on.

47:16Speaking of biscuits, and you probably don't do it, I'm just saying what I do. When I go to Cracker Barrel, I know the syrup is in the little container. Tell them to take the syrup, pour it in a little cup. tell him to warm the syrup up and you dip the biscuits in the syrup you never did that huh?

47:36Shannon Sharpe:I like biscuits and gravy I like man there's something about the biscuits and gravy man that biscuits and syrup biscuits dip the biscuit in the syrup man before your meal come I like biscuits I like biscuits I ain't been to Cracker Brella in a minute I'm more of an IHOP person I have been to IHOP either I've been going when I was in LA I would go to Denny's but I like IHOP I used to go to the IHOP right up off Peachtree they closed it down when I was coming up here I'm a breakfast person though Joe I like grist and eggs I like grist and eggs with crispy bacon I'm a grist and egg I'm a grist and egg type of person I got another place I got to take you to.

1:05:27The jersey number three in Detroit was won by none other than Oregon. Joey Harrington. Joey Harrington. Joey Harrington, who had drafted third overall by the Detroit Lions in the 2000 draft. I can't believe I missed that one. Yeah, you should have known that one. Here we go. I should have, Ocho. Damn. I know. I know how you feel. I know how you feel. The Lions missed out on all of the first 37 Super Bowls. During that span, how many times did they appear in the NFC Championship game?

1:06:03The first 37? The Lions missed out on all the first 37 Super Bowls. During that span, how many times did they appear in the NFC Championship game? And I'll help you out. one 1991 they uh but uh yeah 91 yeah you are you are correct 1991 season they lost 41 10 to the

Jersey number 37 was worn by which Detroit line during the 1955 season? It should be easy. It should be easy. He has a college award named after him. It should be easy. He has a college what? Award named after him. I'm throwing you a bone because I want you to get more than one right. I'm throwing you a bone. jersey number 37 was worn by which detroit line during the 1955 season

The fact that I had to transition and go from spoken word, which was well thought out, well thought out, and then transition into spelling is very difficult. Very, very difficult. The last segment of the evening is time for Q and A. Oh, man. I felt good tonight. I didn't know.

1:08:21I didn't take a look at that.

1:08:28Shannon Sharpe:can't remember nowhere jr my question is oh cho if the bingos make it to the super bowl who would the nfc team who would the nfc team be playing who would the nfc team be um they're playing against and what's the score uh you know that's that's a good question i think it's our time i think this year is our year and the team they would probably probably play would probably be the eagles would probably be english i think the eagles are the strongest nfc team from top to bottom on both sides of the ball. So that's a dream of mine. I like that. So Bengals, Eagles, Super Bowl, San Francisco, I'll see you there.

1:09:06Shannon Sharpe:Then 2-1-0-0, night cap. I know it's way too early, but who do you guys have going to the Super Bowl? I just told – I know they just heard me say the Bengals and the Eagles are going to be in the Super Bowl.

1:09:26Shannon Sharpe:I guess I can take one of my two teams. I can take the Ravens or the Broncos. The who? Ravens or the Broncos. They might be playing each other for the AFC Championship game. Now, you just heard me tell him who the AFC team was going to be in the Super Bowl. That ain't happening. That ain't happening. That's not happening. You know what? Hold on. We're going to say that. We're going to make our picks on Monday. No, Wednesday. Next Wednesday because the game is next Thursday. So we're going to make our picks next Wednesday before the game. Dr. Frank L. Bellamy. Hey, fam. Do you think Michael Irvin could be a guest one night and help defend my Cowboys?

1:10:15Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, would you have been a referee because with all the energy and testosterone between you, Mike, somebody liable to pass out. Yes, we can have Mike on. Mike is a very good friend of mine. He's a great guy. Yeah, we'll get him on. We'll do that. We'll get him on one night. OG underscore Thanos, who's under more pressure to reach the Super Bowl, Ravens or the Bills? Which is heavier, a turn of bricks or a turn of feathers? That's a good one. They weigh the same. They're both. Because now you've got MVP winning quarterbacks. Your team is back healthy. you upgraded you got Cook back, you upgraded with Johnston at wide receiver Shakir is back and Ravens Ravens got no excuse the Ravens have absolutely no excuse

1:11:12Shannon Sharpe:Rock Surge up would you ever interview Richard Hart he's a billionaire that created four projects on blockchain Hex, Pulse Chain, Pulse X and incentives token. He also defeated the SEC recently. I have no earthly idea who that is. You know who that is? I don't even know if my audience would know who he is, but I might need to do some research on him. If he creating all them projects, maybe I can create me something. See how he did it. Jay Breezy, do you think the Saints are tanking for Archie? We have zero quarterback to stand behind and so many other missing pieces. As a lifelong Saints fan, I'm hoping it doesn't take a decade to get a team going.

1:12:00Shannon Sharpe:No, I don't think they're going to tank. They're going with Spencer Rattler. Spencer Rattler. They opened it up. He and Shook, they battled it out. They feel more comfortable. Kelly Moore feels very comfortable with Spencer Rattler at the helm. We'll see how long he can keep him off. I don't think he has a short leash. I think Kellen Moore understands that to play that position, you can't play it with someone looking over your shoulder. So I expect him to not make a decision based on boos, based on what's being written in the paper, because he understands that's a very difficult position to play, and you still have a young quarterback.

1:12:45Shannon Sharpe:So I don't think they're tanking for Archie Manning. Well, yeah, Archie Manning. I don't think they're tanking for him. Bro, can y 'all see if the guy can play? Damn. Y 'all want to let the man play? Damn. Let him play before we start talking about first-time on overall pick. Daryl Nickens, Uncle Nocho. I got my LLC going last week.

I really appreciate that. Bilingual sports podcast, just be you. Be authentic.

1:13:32Shannon Sharpe:People want to hear authenticity. They don't want to feel like it's watered down. That's why they go direct to you. So it's direct from you to the consumer. And so it's not a this or that, that, well, he can't say that because they're going to get mad at him. It's your platform. You can say whatever you want. So just be you. That's the only thing you can be. Nobody else can be Daryl. Only you can. How great can Chris Henry Jr. No one receiver from matter day and Jeremiah Smith be together at Ohio state next year.

1:14:32Thomas Aquinas Chris Henry Jr. went off Man he went crazy

1:14:40Shannon Sharpe:Zachariah Harris said, give Ocho one more word. If he gets it wrong, he eats the viral bala egg live? What is that? A what? I mean, he's acting like that's right. They be naming this stuff. I don't know nothing about, man. It ain't nothing I won't eat, so I'm sure that's right. We know that. Junior underscore cool cat. What's up, Uncle Ocho? Just had to put my dog down earlier. he was my baby boy. What's some advice you have for during this grieving time? Bro, I ain't got no advice, bro. That ain't hurt. I ain't going to lie to you. You never going to get over it. You just going to get better at dealing with it.

1:15:21Shannon Sharpe:Man, that pain, boy. Hey, even though, and the thing is that, like, once you make a decision to put the dog down and you realize that you're only keeping the dog alive for you and not for it because it's suffering, man, that hurt even worse, man. Man, you talk about hurt. Oh, there it is right there. A balut egg is a fertilized duck egg embryo popular in the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia that is boiled or steamed and eaten from the shell. The process involves sipping the savory broth around the developing chick before eating the yolk and the embryo with the... Nah, yeah, Ocho. That ain't nothing.

1:16:07Shannon Sharpe:You ain't gonna do that. That ain't nothing. Can you see it? No, I can't see it. But that ain't nothing. All I heard is embryo and sucking. I'm good. I got it. I'm good. That ain't nothing. Listen, I've been around the world and had delicacies from all cultures. Frog legs, chocolate-covered ants. I mean, what's that? That's nothing. I thought it was some type of challenge. That ain't nothing. Yeah. I swallowed that hole. I ain't sipping nothing. Yeah, we next year this time, we have a very interesting conversation.
