put me in harm's way i just said the exact same thing i said you know who i am and at this time ocho i'm just starting to become shannon sharp i say you put me in harm's way right i say you know who i am and at this time ocho i'm just starting to become shannon sharp i say you put me in harm's way right i say this thing could have been a lot of i said this thing could have been a lot of different ways so i was like look all you had to do is say shannon i've just broke up with my boyfriend within a month or something like that. Cause that's still now. Yeah. Give me an opportunity. I'm probably still going to make a decision.

Oh, Joe, that time I was living, you know what I'm saying? Oh, Joe, I was living, living.

Yeah. Yeah. I was living, living. This joke. And I'm put every dumb bust out. All this was before Jasmine Sullivan came up, bust the windows out your car.

I bust the windows. You know what I'm saying, Ocho? Yeah, you got to be careful. You remember just last year? Remember the situation where Young Bull, rest in peace, trouble, you know, proper trouble, you know, from Atlanta? Yes. At the girl's house, the ex come over out the blue. Ocho. He emotionally unstable, not troubling him.

Ocho. You know, like, you got to be careful with stuff like that. Ocho, I was in the hotel. I wasn't at her house. Wait. How you even found out what she was at? I have no idea. Do you know the effort that he had to put in?

Because I guess he had to ride because she had the time she lived with her sister. He had to have rolled by there and didn't see the car. Now, normally, we're creatures of habit. Okay, he rolled by. He know his sister was pregnant. Carred at the hospital.

Okay, if not at the house, where could she be? Maybe she gave him signs that she started acting. But I don't know, Ocho, but I'm just telling you. Right, right, right, right. Yeah, you got to pay attention to the signs. The signs tell you everything. Now he make me want, I want to even, I want him more now.

Now you can't get her back. You're not going to get her back. If you thought about you could could it's over for you clown and now that i think about it you had to be in a small city you had to be in a smaller city in florida you know why you know why i say that because he had i was in tampa go to the park okay so stay with me now stay with me he had to go to all the hotels in the surrounding area and check the parking lot looking for her and that's exactly how he found yeah found y'all to the one no damn apple tag back then yeah yeah that's what he did oh he went through a lot too um so that means he

was mad he was mad he had to waste it all to find that car that's that's that that's that yeah now he had to waste all the time to find that car that's that's that that's that yeah it's still it's still fresh a week even even a month like that i get because we went to we went to a black college beach uh daytona black college beach week and then if you you know you went to a black college you know anything about daytona so it was like it was like the first or second week in April. She came to my brother's place in May. And I went down to her in June. So it happened very rapidly.

Yeah. But I don't, I'm like, bro, so now I can't let him win. Right. You was younger. I was younger than right. right? I was probably 23, 24. And you know how it is at that age.

Guess what i do don't tell me you went right back i went to see it work man i'm gone man she put a gun to your head man god she didn't mean to she didn't mean to come on hey the fact that you've been able to main a court remain a cordial relationship with people that you've dated and been intimate with even after the fact is very commendable very very very commendable because most of the time

you know things always end on bad terms and there is no you know being friends once you cross a certain threshold it took me a while to get to that, Ochoa, though. It took me a while. It took me a while because I was allowing these women to hold my feelings hostage. They were going on with their lives, but I was in bondage. So I said, I am not going to allow you to hold my feelings hostage. I refuse to be in bondage. So I had to forgive them. And yet it took me a while because some of them did some things they didn't have to do you could have just I tell people all the time Ocho

I don't have bars on my house so it's not to keep you in or out you walk in the door I want you to walk out yeah boy and so for me it took it took me a while it took me a while yeah i've had situations but i've all because i believe ocho that i'm always gonna come out on the winning side and so when they've done things to me i was like okay it is what it is you do you feel that's what you needed to do but i'm gonna win right i'm gonna win yeah i've had i've had situations also with women that i've dated they ended up getting married when they're going through hard times who you think they call well shan i'm gonna get a divorce i say no you're not i said you better stay with that man i said you got to understand how old you think you are you got two kids you this age i said i'll tell you what i'm gonna do

i'm gonna get you a hotel room. You stay there for a week. Y'all figure this ish out, but you don't need to leave him. Right. Yeah. Yeah. We talked, we talked, we talked, we talked about it last night. Now. Yeah.

I said, who you think you about to get? Who you think you about to get? You and your damn little 50. Listen. Well, reality will hit once you get out in them streets and you see what's left over. I said, because y'all have a disagreement? Oh, he said something that you didn't like or you don't like the way he, oh, hell no. Y'all better solve that. And as a matter of fact, hey, I already got it taken care of.

You ain't got to show nothing. Everything that you need, the room and the incidentals are taken care of. Hey, stay your ass up there. Right, right, right. And make sure you make the right decision now. Yeah. Yeah. You make the right one.

You're going to be looking back. You're going to be looking back mad. Come back 10 years later. They still married. Thank you. I appreciate that. Mm-hmm. Look.

You ought to be a therapist, man. The way I look at it, look. You and I didn't work out. I don't think you're a bad person. You might have not been right for me. I might have not been right for you, but you might be perfect for someone else. Yeah. That's okay.

At the end of the day, I want you to be happy i might not can give you the happiness that you're looking for but that doesn't mean i don't want you to have it and if you found it at one point in time stay there i'll say it's easy i said damn y'all the minute of heart i thought richness and poor sickness and health and well damn that's so y'all just talking up there in front of the man huh y'all up there in the I thought richness and poor sickness and health and well, damn. So y'all just talking up there in front of the man, huh? Y'all up there in the church.

Y'all just. Yeah. Yeah. They'd be ready to go now. It just like any of the slightest inconvenience or things don't go well or or you do something that don't don't sit right with them. Yeah. Ready to go. They ready to go. Matter of fact, and they ready to go to somebody else that same thing yeah yeah but but you know you know like my grandma saying my grandma always told me

that you don't have to lie to you don't have to lie to a woman because she like you enough she lied to herself for sure you don't have to lie to a woman because if she like you enough for them red flags like six flags yeah they're going for that right colorblind for that right yeah oh yeah when it's when it's convenient based on based on but i won't i want all the women that i've been with and in my time i want them to find happiness it wasn't for me you know we didn't work out but if there's anything i can do to help you and you're in a situation, I got you. It didn't work for me. Like I said,

even though sometimes, Ocho, it didn't end on the best note, the best terms. We didn't end on the best terms. That's all right. I mean, I think that came from my grandmother and my sister. Because my sister's like, Shannon, just pray about it.

It's going to be okay. She's like, you're still my little. She always tells me this. Every time I've always gone through something, a breakup, she always reminds me who I am. You're still Shannon Sharp. You're still my little brother. And you're going to be okay.

Yeah. She's that calming voice. Because a lot of times I'm like, hey, I want to bury okay. Yeah. She's that calming voice. Because a lot of times I'm like, hey, I want to bury this, you know what? Say, Shanna, what do you get out of that? What do you get out of that? Right. I mean, my sister,

let me tell you what my sister did. I was in a relationship. My sister. Can we get a name? Let me tell you what my sister did. My sister. Can we get a name? Let me tell you what my sister did. My sister really. If you call my sister, if you automatically

I would think my sister would take up for me. That's what my sister did. When you're wrong, you're wrong now. You got to hold you accountable. You should leave it because he ain't doing right so why are you gonna stay why are you gonna stay in a situation which you're unhappy you know he makes you unhappy you're not happy but you're gonna stay why

leave and if it's me if it's meant to be y'all will be together you'll come back like a woman what the hell you done done what you think the girl did left left you serious look back that's too nice in a row you done told me somebody left What? You serious? Yeah, if they look back.

Oh, man, that's too nice in a row. You done told me somebody left me. I don't like that now. It's okay. It's not the end of the world. Ocho. Ocho. Damn. CBS.

CBS. CBS let me go. I went to Undisputed got bigger Undisputed let me go now look at it look at the subs I got more subs than Undisputed you look at the talent they got over there I got we got a new

podcast and we got more subs than everybody they got over there combined so I'm okay I'm gonna be okay I believe in. I'm going to be okay. I believe in me. I'm always going to bet on Black. Yeah. So, I don't get, you know,

when something happens, I remember I wanted a situation, and my agent said, hey, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Next contract, somebody else will pay for what you lost. I don't get upset, man. It's not the end of the world. I'm strong.

I'm strong. Hey, I'm born in 68. I came from good stock, not wood stock. You better understand where I came from and how i came to be right damn what you don't like yeah you're a good dude man because i'm like like that that that that's that's that's that's two times two times about oh that ain't the first that ain't the first time that ain't the first time that That ain't the first time. That's not the second time.

I was dating a female and we were living together. And when I came home, she was gone. Oh, hell no. Oh, hell no. Huh? Like, that's the type of shit you see in movies, man. Well, I guess I was living a movie then. Hey.

Ocho, when I tell you, Ocho, listen. When I tell people I can write a book, y'all think I'm lying. I know y'all think I'm lying. Hold on, man. You came home, you came home like on some Gone Girl shit, like the movie Gone Girl. She was gone? Biggie, Biggo, Biggie, Biggie. Gone.

Bye-bye Birdie. That's off, man. Hey, that's slightly disrespectful. Because if you love me... That wasn't the case. You didn't love me anymore. Yeah, anymore. Will you tell me that?

If you've checked out mentally and you stay here physically and you're not feeling the situation we're in, I need you to communicate. Isn't that what women always talk about? Women are big on communication. Where's the communication? Why wait until you leave

on some sucker shit and then pack your shit and leave in when I ain't here. And not face the wall. Face the wall. Come on now. I mean, Ocho, everybody can't handle situations. Like, I don't know how you handle situations, but I can sit down.

I can have a conversation. You're not happy. You want to move on. I'm not happy. I want to move on. I can have that kind of conversation, but everybody can't have that conversation. Everybody's not built like you or that.

Like I can't speak for you. I'm built. I can handle it. But listen, let me, let me tell you something. Let me tell you how I feel. And me and you on the same page,

I was born in seven, eight, nine. I was born in seven, eight. But one thing about it is i'll give my all and do all i can now if you choose to lose i'd never see it as a loss i see it as one less expense right that's it i'm doing everything so now that's somebody else's responsibility

if they want to pick up where i left off and do more, so be it. Yeah, for sure. And good luck. So be it and good luck. But I always see someone actually leaving me, well, shit, that's better for me. I just think about how much I can save from this. So I don't get upset. I don't fuss and fight.

I want things a certain way. I like people that after you've been with me for a while, you kind of understand my manner right you know what i okay shannon don't really want to talk let him be i don't want right right something like this or shannon want something like that let me have this ready for him i want people to like study me and have without me having to tell you no no no no i think the best relationships are you've been with someone long enough you understand hey you know it's funny i like that you just said that like i've been with real like so long now we starting to look alike i can start a sentence i i can start i can start i can start a sentence and before i even finish what i'm saying she finished the damn sentence i like but what can i and it kind of the damn sentence. I'm like, but can I?

And it kind of irked me a little bit. Like, can I get my thoughts out? I know you know because I'm going to increase your habit. My routine don't change. My routine doesn't change. And the things that I say based on the situation, it never changes as well. So, I start saying something and she'll finish it. Whatever it is, I know, I know, I know.

All right, I know you know. Yeah, I want to say it though. I want to say it out. Okay. Let me say it. Whatever it was, I know, I know, I know. All right, I know you know just what I want to say out. Okay. Let me say it. Let me finish. So, basically, it sounds like you're irritated because you already know

what I'm getting ready to say. And you don't want me to say it. Man, it's small. Yeah, yeah. Small little discrepancy we be having. You know, that starts to argue. But it's going to happen, Ocho.

There's a woman that recorded herself refusing refusing to get out of a car because her date took her to the cheesecake factory oh what's wrong with cheesecake it's a chain so is mastro's so is del frisco so is uh uh uh what's the uh uh what's that other one catch catch la that's a chain wally's is a chain ruth chris is a chain joe's crab shack is a chain so let me ask you a question have you ever had a situation what would you do now i'm oh just ocho you drive up you pull up and she's like okay hey babe we here or you meet because until i got to la ocho i had never i had never not gone i don't know if i could use double negative but i had always gone to the lady's home to pick her up or to her apartment or picked her up from her parents house i'd never like and when i got there later like okay i'll just meet you i was like and now you know

it's done okay you don't hey they don't know me like that so it's cool but before I got to LA I would always go pick the young lady up so now you get to the state whether you pick her up or you meet her there and she's and she gets there and she's like well I ain't getting out because this here this is beneath me. Yeah. For one, that is a woman that is really not interested in you in general. That's just a woman not interested in you in general. And most of the time, obviously, it's the era that we're in right now. Men are being, I don't want to say used for food, but if you have to go to these high-end restaurants on the first day.

But everybody ain't got it like, don't you? Everybody ain't making seven figures. Everybody ain't got it like that to go drop $200, $300 on a meal. Damn. It makes no sense. If you got to lead with money, if you have to lead with money, if you have to lead with money, you already know what time. You already know what the place is. You already know what the place is. You already know what the place is.

First of all, I'm a firm believer in this, Ocho. If I got to borrow my brother's car, if I got to borrow a homeboy car, if I got to borrow money to take somebody on a date, they not for me. They not for me because all I can do is this is a singular act because I'm not going to borrow money

every time to take you somewhere. I'm not going to borrow my brother not going to borrow money every time to take you somewhere. I'm not going to borrow my brother's or my homeboy's car to take you somewhere. Man, Ocho, man, look. Ocho, I don't even want to tell you this story, Ocho. I don't even want to tell you this story, what happened to me, Ocho. You got to give it to me. Come on, man. Ocho, this was in 1990.

I met this young lady and she's so... And she's like, we're going to go out. I was like, okay. Now, what's your mind you know I'm only making 63.5 I got a 335 dollar uh four-door blazer payment I think my my rent at Mill Pond in Denver I think it was about 550 plus you know I gotta you know take you know take care of my same money home for my grandmother, my sister. I'm helping my girlfriend who's going to school. I'm helping her. I'm paying for her to go to school.

So I ain't got a whole lot of money, but you know what? I say, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to deny myself something to get her a nice, nice little meal, you know, get a nice little meal. So we get there and so, you know, I'm going to order something, but I'm not going to get what I would normally get, but I'm going to get something a little down just in case she goes up so we get there so you know we get a little appetizer i think back then i was in the caesar salad i had never had a really had caesar salad so i got me a little caesar salad you know i got all the caesar she got

something yeah and so the uh the server comes says, okay, you ready to order? I'm like, yeah. So I got something probably cost like $30, $40. And so Ocho, she got the menu and she's just looking. I'm like, damn, what's she going to order? I say, you going to go ahead, you going to order something?

She say, I'm trying to figure out what go with lobster. I say condoms. I say, because if you order that, we're going to have sex tonight. Needless to say, she didn't order that, and I never saw her again. I put that on everything, Ocho. See, Ocho, you get me on here, Ochoa You bet you get me on here, Ochoa I get on here with you, man And you have me be telling stories, man

I was supposed to take this to my grave, man She tried to figure out what go with lobster Condoms Hold on Hey, what go with lobster again? Condoms Cause we haven't seen if you order that lobster I ain't got bread like that, Ochoa condoms. Hey, what's going on? Condoms. We haven't seen if you order that lobster.

I ain't got bread like that, Ocho. I can see if I was making, if I came in, I'm a first round or second round draft pick because back then a first round draft pick got like a million dollars signing bonus. Ocho, I came in, they gave me like $22,500. Okay. You got to make

that stretch. When, when it, you gotta make, you gotta make, you gotta make that. And so when, when, when, when they, when they take the taxes out of it, that ain't a whole lot of money,

but y'all ladies out there, look, I understand that you want to be treated nice, but everybody ain't making bread like no professional athlete. Everybody ain't got no six and no seven figure job. Some of these dudes making 75,000, 75,000 to a dude. And and after taxes he can't be breaking bread on no 500 meal and this is this is the funny thing this is the funny thing it's a tough

situation because there will always be men willing women will always be able to get who and what they want but it not might be from the guy they want because there will always be a man willing to spend the money based on what it is that women want because there will always be a man willing to spend the money based on what it is that women want because there will always be a guy willing to do it but he's trying to impress him though yeah always always try to impress him the more money you have the easier it is to get to your end goal that's just life this is the way it is but i tell dudes all the time dudes stay within your salary cap and act your wage stay within your salary cap and act your wage. Stay within your salary cap and act your wage. What's for you will be there and as your money continues

to grow and gets higher and higher, the caliber of women you want to choose, it gets higher as well. Like a general rule of thumb here, Pocho. At the end of the day,

it's all pink on the inside. I hope you're talking about a steak. But anyway. Yeah, I'm talking about a steak. But anyway. Yeah, I'm talking about a steak. We're talking about high-end. I'm right there with you. I'm right there with you.

We're talking about high-end. So, Nathaniel Ocho, choose the woman that likes you, not the woman you like. If you choose the woman that likes you, you'll be straight. That's a good one. Straight.

That's a good one. That's a good one. If you got to leave with money, she don't like you. She don't like you. If you got to leave with money. And if she say, if you got to apply pressure, she don't like you. Don't fall. If you tell me, I don't need your money. I'll make my own money. I'm going the other way.

I done heard that lie too many times to be true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. don't do me like that but this is a good thing this is a good thing for women though women will never go without because they will always be a man willing yeah always yeah always but i could like i said i i don't mind but at the end of the day like i said i i didn't have and you know what ocho if i was making money like i was my fourth or fifth year and she wanted to get the life to hell, maybe get to take one home. I got. But I didn't have a bread like that at that point in time. My focus was, OK, pay my bills, help my grandmother, you know, my mom working, but I still got to break up.

So when I when I get back and the cell phone, see, cell phone was probably about $4 a minute. And if you left the city, it started roaming. Man, Ocho. You got to put the phone on that broken charge. I had a cell phone bill $1,200 one time.

Back then. My brother called me and said, turn it off. Turn it off. cause back then Ocho if you waited after I think it was after 7 o'clock the minutes were free and then on weekend minutes were free but man

who the hell gonna wait till after 7 o'clock to talk to somebody or wait till damn Friday night Saturday night Sunday I wanna talk when I wanted to talk 6,000 people have voted Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday. I want to talk when I wanted to talk. 6,000 people have voted. They said 53% say farting in front of your man is okay. I need to see the age demographic.

Nope, don't try to change it. Don't try to change it. This is something natural. Listen, wait, stay with me real quick. Wait, wait. Let me finish. Go ahead. I'm going to let me finish chew it go ahead I'm going to let you finish

will you still talk as if i'm not there you see what i'm saying ocho i don't worry about you because i i first of all i am not worried about a dude disrespecting me. And I'm not worried about her disrespecting me because I give respect. And I wouldn't let my teammates. Yeah, we had them bad chicks walking in and they do. Bro, we not finna disrespect my man just because you make this and you feel you can whip him. That's not going to happen because I'm going to be with him. Right. Because you wouldn't let nobody do that.

If you walked in here with your woman and dude tried to holler at her, I already know what's going to happen. So we're going to do this thing the same way. That's how we're going to do it. Able. Oh, Joe, when you around me,

able one way to do things. That's right. Right. And I'm going to say, look here now. Hey, now, you know,

Hey, they're going to maneuver away, pretend like they got to go to the bathroom because they done made eye contact. OK, now. It's a dirty game, man. OK. Dirty game. I don't like I said, I'm just i'm just i'm just real i'm just real with it i don't i don't

like disrespect on no level right i'm not gonna let my teammates disrespect uh uh a guy just because he's he doesn't have the money he doesn't have the cachet he doesn't have the the the name recognition we ain't gonna do that not on my one now ocho if i didn't go out that night if i didn't go out on a thursday night because that was really the only night i kind of went out unless unless i had my homeboys in town my homeboys would come in that friday we go out that saturday night but it was the same thing if i was somewhere and my teammates showed up and there was a chick in there chicks came in there with their boyfriend, we're not finna do that. That ain't gonna happen.

Because at the end of the day, he's still a man now. He's still a man. And you know a man will bow his back in front of his lady. Yeah. Then what for what? Happened. We got in the brawl. We got into a fight in in 90, my rookie year

about a chick y'all were brawling in there about a chick go look it up damn um she must hey she must have been bad she must have been bad to the world she was fine she was fine you're only worth what somebody's willing to pay. People like, man, I wouldn't pay 20 million for no house. Okay, but somebody else did. I wouldn't pay 2 million for a car, but somebody else will. Worth is only determined by what someone is willing to pay for it. That's what worth is.

You don't get to determine your worth because you don't get to pay yourself. Hey, I'm at ESPN. Hey, give me $40 million a year. Hey, that sounds like ladies on IG. Know yourself worth, girl. Oh, I'm worth this. I'm worth that. None of the dude ain't willing to give it to you.

You're not. That's so worth it. I understand you know you're worth, baby. You think you're worth a Birkin bag and a Cullinan and a private jet. I get that you think you're supposed to get all of that. But that ain't how I value you. Yes. So, unless, look. Now, look, I had a situation.

situations where they need that roof over their head and they're dealing with someone that's able to provide that yeah and that that's that's tough that's tough when you're somewhere you don't want to be i know because i told you the lonely my granddad used to say boy the loneliest place in the world is to be somewhere you're not wanting right right right and and and if you don't know you're not wanting it's another thing to know you're not wanting right in college i remember in college i broke up with my girl i was moping i used to work i used to have work study. And I worked for Coach Davis, rest his soul, Coach Davis. And I used to go to his office every day. And when I wasn't in class, I would do my homework.

If the professor would cancel class or something happened, I would go to Coach Davis' office, get my hours in, but I would do my homework. A couple of days go by, he see me moping. He's like, son, what's going on? Coach, I broke up with my girlfriend. I said, my girlfriend and I broke up. He said, well, damn, son.

He said, is everything okay? I said, coach, we were both sick. And he looked at me. He said, y'all were both sick. I said, yeah, coach. I was sick of her and she was sick of me. Hey, that's a good one. Let me tell you something.

Let me tell you something. I always think about, obviously, it's okay to hurt. It's okay to mourn. It's okay to be sad when things don't work out. But I tell men this all the time. When you're moping and you're chasing, you're fighting back to get a woman back that you might have been with for a long time. The last time, think about this. When someone leaves you,

a woman doesn't want to be with you anymore. I always see it as one less expense. And I mean that in the most respectful way possible. I just see it as one less expense that I have to worry about that becomes someone else's responsibility. So I've never seen who want to chase an added or extra bill. Why do you want to do that? I see it in that way and trying to put things in a perspective in hindsight. If you have a hundred dollars as a dude, right? If you have a hundred dollars at a dude and you lose that hundred dollars trying to chase someone because you have to pay when, which I call a transaction, trying to chase someone because you have to pay when which i call a transaction transaction transactional transactional yeah it doesn't it doesn't bring any value to you because it's taking what you have bringing adding nothing to it so why is it that you why are you hurting why are you sad and that's just a small analogy and i mean that in the most respectful way possible

it happens on a small scale and it happens on the grander scale. Depends on how you look at it. But you know what, Ocho, what it is? It's kind of like for me, and I don't want people to take this the wrong way since I'm trying to compare a woman to sport. But what I'm saying is that when you invest something, when you invest, for damn the money,

when I invest my time, my energy, my heart and soul, like I did the sport, it hurt when you lose. So I'm looking at it when I lose her. I'm hurt. You damn right I'm hurt. Yes, I cry. And even though I might not show it outwardly, internally, I'm in a knot.

I had a young lady tell me one time She was like You're not hurting I said what do you mean I'm not hurting She said because when I see you You're not in a ball I said is that what you want You want me to hurt that bad I said you want me to not be able to function You don't want me to be able to go to work

I was like I get it I get it yes I'm sure i've hurt you but just because i'm not curled up in a ball because i'm not in a psych ward trust me when i say this and i say this in all sincerity i'm hurting yeah but i've been able to compartmentalize because when you become a when you become a professional athlete the one thing you must be able to do above all forget because obviously you don't make it to the level that you make it as a professional athlete if you can't play you've got to be able to compartmentalize if you cannot compartmentalize you can't play at any level in a professional sport right you've got to be able to say okay i've got this going on being at home my wife is getting on my nerves

or my girlfriend my kids are sick my mom is not my mom or my dad there's this going on being at home. My wife is getting on my nerves or my girlfriend, my kids are sick. My mom is not my mom or my dad. There's something going on. I've got to be able to set that aside for them two and a half hours and be able to get done what I need to get done. Because you know what? Them 85,000 fans and my 45 teammates, Hey,

they depended on me. They don't want to hear nothing. All they see is 84 in the front and sharp on the back. And I need to get it done. The Volume. Wake up with football every morning and listen to my new podcast, NFL Daily with Greg Rosenthal. Five days a week, you'll get all the latest news
