Lying like a man. Yeah, you ain't volunteer. What am I gonna do? I'm gonna, you know what, Ocho? Yeah. I'm gonna give.

No, volunteer you volunteered or you give it or you give in charity or you give it the money volunteer time you ain't volunteering no money. Volunteer and giving back is two different things. I'm talking about donating charity. Okay, you talk about your time. Okay. Right. Yeah.

No, absolutely not. I got, I, this, this is a good one because people always do this one in their, in their New Year's resolutions. 2025, I'm gonna be a new me. I'm gonna learn a new skill. I'm gonna learn a new hobby. And that last, that last for maybe a month or two. All these last for a month or two, but it, but it, but it

looked good written out on paper. You don't know what I'm going to do. Oh Joe. Yeah. I'm going to spend more time with family and friends. You know what? I'm going to be more positive. No, Dan don't know a damn way.

You not, you, we, we thrive off negativity in general. damn way you not. We thrive off negativity in general. I think you lost this one too, honestly. No, I think I got this one, don't you? Jamal Adams good man. Look, especially around that goddamn box, inside the box. Yes.

He was really, he was very, very good. Yes. Yes. Always listen. He could've tacked the quarterback graded run. I mean, it looks different. It helps. It wasn't great in past coverage, but that's OK. Everybody is not.

Everybody is not going to be Ed Reed. Everybody will be Troy Palamalu. Everybody will be there. Ronnie lot. Everybody will be a Woody or Charles as they transition from corner to safety. And that's OK. But that's why I'm saying sometimes, though, Joe. Rod or Charles as they transition from corner to safety. And that's okay. But that's why I'm saying sometimes Ocho and I've got to do a better job of this.

Sometimes you gotta take the most out of a decision. That's the hard part, man. That's the hard part. Listen, being able to make a decision and then compartmentalize, separating the two, emotions. Boom, you over here, decision. Most decisions are made based on emotion. Hey.

What happens when emotions are high? Ooh, that's another, that's a far. That's a bar. Where's my damn pen and pad, man? Get it to me again. That's what you have to understand. Yeah, man. Every every with it, when emotion is high, logic is low. Every look, every decision, trust me, I've analyzed everything that I've done and I played a scenario.

What I did, what could I have done differently, what should I have done differently? I'm learning, Shannon, take the emotion out of it. Sometimes people that are saying these things, they're saying just to get the reaction. Look, I got Shannon Sharp to say this, I got Unc to say that. And they don't root for you. And that's the thing that you have to understand, Ocho.

Everybody that show up on your timeline isn't for Ocho. Everybody that's on my timeline isn't for Shannon Sharp. And you have to like, you know what, a lot of times, not like I said, y'all they say stuff, I see it. I'm gonna let y'all rock, I'm gonna let y'all have it. Think y'all, y'all win. Y'all want a response. I respond to the ones like, look, this is what I saw, this is why I said this, this is why I said that. But I'm not going back with no negativity.

Life is true. God has put me in this position right here, in a position that I didn't think I would be in as fast as I am. And I'm not so sure, like, I has put me in this position right here, in a position that I didn't think I would be in as fast as I am, and I'm not so sure, like, I gotta know I gotta pray and such. I know my grandma stayed up a million nights on her knees. And God heard prayers I didn't even know he was listening to.

I'm not finna go back and forth with people that don't have Shannon Sharpe best interest in mind. I know who they are. That's my team. I've surrounded myself with some really good people. Everybody, everybody moving forward has gotten vetted. Ash, hey, she knows that's her responsibility. She does the hiring.

CJ has that. I let them run what they're supposed to run. I'm normally the third of the four smartest guy in the room and I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that, but they know they have the responsibility. I trust them. I sincerely trust them. I said, I hired you for a reason. I said, you're my first hire. Hell, I hired Ash. She's like, what we, Shannon, what are we going to do? I said, I don't know. She said, I said, you're my first hire. Hell, I hired Ash. She like, what we, Shannon, what are we gonna do? I said, I don't know. She said, well, if you don't know, I'm still going. He had a job at Fox and she left to come with me.

I'm paying out my pocket. I'm paying out my pocket. CJ the same thing. He said, he said, all I need, you gonna give me benefits? CJ, I got you. Well, DJ left. I told Jordan, he's like, hey boss, I don't know. I said, look, you can't take no damn pictures

from Cincinnati. So if you come to LA, I'm gonna have to find somebody else. Yeah. Oh, come on, my weight. I don't know how he got there. You drove a U-Haul, did you? Oh, you had your stuff, he had stuff shipped. But we put this team together,

and hey, it's been on with and over since. It's been on with and over since. We've hired a lot of people for Nightcap. We have a lot of people that's doing a lot of great things. And so, Ocho, I just had to learn, hey, take it on the chin. Just take it on, hey, the group, turns like Shannon, UK.

Also, she's like, Shannon, why you try to fight every battle? Why you try to fight every battle? Why you try to fight every battle? It's okay. Hey, especially in relationships, it's more so the women. I think things would be much easier if they chose their battles wisely.

Everything don't have to, everything don't have to address everything.'t have to, don't have to address everything. Not every damn thing. Come on. Sometimes, sometimes, even in a relationship, the individual, the female or the male can be paralyzed because they're so afraid that somebody might not out there. What am I gonna do?

Yeah, I know he don't pay, I know he beat on me. I know she cheat on me. I know this, but am I gonna be able to find somebody else? Yes, sir. You get paralyzed by that because you overthink said situation. I refuse to be in a situation like that. I refuse to.

I am not going to let you hold me hostage because I don't see it right now, something on the other side, right? Because the jets cannot see well, who's the quarterback right now that we could definitively say, are you saying that there's somebody out there that can be worse? I mean, are you telling me you mean to tell me you can't find somebody out there that can go five and 11? I mean, five and 12 that can go six and 10 that can go seven and 12, that can go six and 10, that can go seven and,

seven and what, nine and eight? Yeah. There, you got to be kidding me. There are no quarter of a chat, tell me if I'm wrong. Do y'all believe that there's another, there's not another quarterback out there that can do what Rodgers did this year? Now if you tell me you're gonna give me 2020, 2021,

Roger, I say hey, bring it in. Without him. But that guy, Ocho, that guy, you would be in the playoffs. But he's not that guy anymore. It's like the old actors, actresses, where's my closeup up Mr. Demille? There is no close up. Yes sir.

Dr. Frankie L. Bellaman, hey guys, just checking in to say hello with the New Year around the corner. What's the game plan for 2025? Any big resolutions or goals? No, my only resolution, I ain't chasing lies. I'ma let y'all have it. Whatever y'all say I am, whatever y'all say I did,

what it was, intentional or unintentional, whatever you say, I'm done. My grandma told me that, said, boy, never chase a lie. I just know now, I just see it. I see what y'all write. When I don't comment, it go away. I ain't had no, I ain't giving y'all no more content. Produce all the content you want,

but you will not get me following up. I'm done. That's my only resolution. 24 was great for us. produce all the content you want, but you will not get me following up. I'm done. That's my only resolution. 24 was great for us. 24 was one of the best years. Yeah, I had some setbacks. Yeah, I had some ups and downs, but it's been one of the best years. 25 is going to be even better because it's gotten off. It's already gotten up to a great start. We got shows. We're going to have the tour. We better understand how to do the tours. It's gonna be bigger and better. We're gonna go to more cities, but that's it.

That's my only resolution. I am not, I am not chasing a lie. So I let y'all say what all y'all say. I see it, do I see it? If I don't see it, somebody send it to me. Lie, lie, lie. I ain't chasing it though, I'm not gonna respond to it. Go ahead, Ochoa.

My New Year's resolution is to not curse as much. You know, I'm in therapy. I'm in counseling right now for my cursing. I like cursing, chat. You have to listen to me on why I like cursing. I feel that cursing is a sentence enhancer. It's no different than when you cook and you add seasoning, it gives it flavor. So if I say, you know, it's no different than when you cook and you add seasoning, it gives it

flavor. So if I say, you know what, man, you my dog, man, I love you, man. You see that sound good. But if I say, Hey, you know what, man, I fucking love you. It's the difference in meaning and delivery and the way you say things. That's why I think curse word is so important. But I think I'm gonna try to trim back on it a little bit. I'm gonna trim back on it a little bit.

And that's- Yeah, good luck with that. A pH resolution. All right, good luck with that. We're gonna get a lot of money. He he. ["Dreams of a New Year"] I mean, Harbaugh's done a grumbly-bo-job.

Yeah. I think that answers your question, Coach of the Year. I mean, he's gonna be in the, look, I think he's gonna be in the running. I think you gotta put Kevin O'Connell in the running. Who else? Obviously, Campbell. He's in the running, but this team,

for what they've been able to do, they got 10 wins, could possibly get 11. I don't think anybody'd be surprised if Jim Harbaugh, one coach of the year, but there's some other worthy candidates. Like I said, you look at a Dan Campbell, you look at a Kevin O'Connell, Matt LaFleur. Yeah. I think Sean Payton deserves to get some credit also.

Yeah. For the job that he's done with the Broncos. But man, Jim Harbaugh, his ability to coach there, you can't deny his ability to coach. You might not. And Harv, it's time, bro. You got that hip replacement or knee replacement walk. You see how you, hey, I ain't telling you what, I'm telling you because I had that walk. My brother had that walk.

I saw Sam. I had that walk. My brother had that walk. I saw Sal. You know that walk. If you had replacement, a knee or hip replacement, you know the walk when you see it. He gonna have to get one of them done soon. Because I know he ain't playing. And all that standing. Boy, everything hurt when I hit my hip.

And I'm standing, walking, sleeping, six. I mean, I'm like, damn, is there anything I can do that don't put, that I'm not afraid? Yeah, you know what you could do to relieve that now? Man. Anytime you have horizontal activity, you can take a Tylenol, take two Tylenols. Now, it relieves what?

I did. Three, four. I was taking three, it, it, it relieved one. I did. Three, four. I was taking three, four, and a bill. Three, four, you had a milligram. Okay, that is, okay. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how many milligrams it was.

Yeah, uh. Because boy, I was in extreme pain. And I remember thinking to myself, man, I can see how people get hooked on narcotics. I see what you mean. I see what you mean. With the pain that I'm in right now. Oh boy, I'm talking that I'm in right now. Oh, boy.

I'm talking about, you know, you go to the doctor, Ocho, and they ask you, say, OK, what's your level of pain on a scale of one to 10? It's a 12. Boy, Ocho, I'm talking about cry. I'm talking about go in the bathroom, and they think you cleaning up, you crying. You crying cause that kind of that level of pain cause your hip.

Cause you had to use it, you know what I'm saying? I don't know, you know? You know, and you know me, I can't just do it. I gotta walk around here. Ow! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, make a touch every motherfucking corner in the house now. You hear me?

You don't need something about you to need to come up from there. Oh, oh, oh. You still shade that. You still shade that. I had to play that in my head. Ian, do you know who you are? Let her know.

Baby, you okay? Nah, but I will be. Hell nah. And that's the same thing, right? But hey. You know how we talk about when we're younger, the things we can do when we're younger on the foot. Then when you get older, and your mind, you know what you can do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you just can't, you just can't execute it the right way when you get older.

Hey, same concept. No. Same concept. I mean, I'm still as adventurous, but I think the world ain't got smaller for me. You know what I'm saying? I think that's what it is, Ochoa. I think that's what it is.

I still see beyond the horizon. It's funny how that works. I ain't got to that place yet. I haven't got to that place yet. And I thank God and I pray, I pray as I have a birthday coming up in a week and a half. Hey listen, as the day is going, I know my time is coming.

I know it's coming, you know, but things don't work the way they used to. I'm not able to, what's the word? I'm not able to hit the intersection the way I used to hit the intersection. Sometimes I might have to use my blinker. Before, I never used to use my blinker.

I just go. Yeah. Hey, sometimes, used to use my blinker. I just go. Yeah. Hey, sometime, Ocho, look here. You just get in that slow lane, the right lane, and just stay there. Go ahead and put your blinker on when you leave the house. Just know in some point in time, Ocho, you gonna have to turn right,

just go ahead and put your blinker on. You in the slow lane, come on by. Come on by. Hey, I had an aunt. I had an aunt. She said, hey, you put that blanket on as soon as you get on the road. Then that right lane, like, damn,

we ain't gonna ever get there. I know people mad, because, Ocho, you hate that. You behind somebody that got their blanket on, and you think they gonna turn, and they don't go another six, seven miles, and blanket still, man, cut that blanket off. Hey, get your ass out of the way. But sometimes when it comes to that guy, on another 6L mile and Blanco still, man, cut that blink off. I know, hey.

Get your ass out of the way. But sometimes when it comes to that guy, that position is the intangibles. Yeah. Is what you cannot see. I know he has the arm, I know he has legs, I know he can make plays in and out of the pocket, but that's not where Tom Brady was measured.

That's not where a lot of the greats are measured. It's the intangibles is what you cannot measure because you cannot see it. I'm, I ain't telling you what somebody tell you cause I'm really good friends with guys that pick players for a living and do a damn good job. I don't know if y'all noticed this guy named Ozzy Newsome. Y'all might've heard of him.

His first draft pick ever was the first ballot Hall of Famer. His second draft pick ever was the first ballot Hall of Famer. Yeah. I don't know if y'all might've heard of him. Jonathan Ogden and Ray Lewis. I remember Ray, I used to write him. Both on the All Century Team. I used to punk Ray all the time.

Yeah. Yeah. And guess what? Ed Reed, first ballot. Legends, legends. Fuzz is a finalist this year. Yes, and guess what? Marshall Yanda, he's a finalist this year. He drafted Lamar Jackson.

I'm telling you, now Ozzy's a little bit, look, Ozzy understands the environment of a Raven and what it's like to be a Raven. Ozzy's one of the few guys that he really doesn't hold, like a lot of teams, Ocho, hold like you have something like you gotta, oh he got a, name what Ozzy do. Ozzy, I'm telling you how Ozzy knew some of those. Ozzy say, you know what, we get to be you. Just be you, go play football, be you.

We ain't trying to get you to conform to anything. We play hard, we play tough. We come to work every day. That's why they got the phrase, play like a Raven. But for me, it was a bad look. It's going to be very interesting when they get him in the room and they ask him. And I'm sure everybody's going to ask him the question. They're going to ask a lot of these guys, because a lot of times people act like your parents ask you a question they already know they have to.

They just want to see if you're going to lie. They already know. Or sometimes your girl, so who is such a son? And the first thing you're going to say. They already know who such a such is. Who? Wait, let already know. Or sometimes, you're a girl. So, who is such a son? And the first thing you'll say, I already know who such a such a is. Who? Wait, let me see. Who?

Who? Oh, but. Hey, hey, listen. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, there's two things you don't wanna hear from your old lady, boy. What your hard drop is, who is this? And we need to talk.

Who is this? And we need to talk. Who is this and we need to talk. Boy, you get the backtrack and thinking about, well, damn, that ain't do. Da-da. You start to think, well, how much does she really know? Does she really know? She's speculating. Cause you know women got great tuition.

Now me, I got four words. I don't You know what talk to me. I heard it. I heard it like three times Shannon oh I'm pregnant No, I just heard that are you just are a parent? Are you echoing what she said? Damn. Bad I heard the three words on Trump's and Lord have mercy, Jesus.

Oh man. Listen, when I look back at it, when I look back at it. What'd they tell you, so where were you when first time you heard Chad? You know what? I, I, there was a method to mind my madness. I was, it was a, yeah, because they, they, you know, people might, it might be frowned upon based on the way I did things is I wanted to have kids, not only with women that were athletic,

but I also wanted to make sure that were women that I knew before I even made it. I need people from where I come from, from my struggle, from my same background, so there were no issues in the understanding that the child came first. And if our union doesn't work out, there will be no vindictive nature, you know, in reasoning to do the things that you see

others that have no true interests or genuine interests in you in general outside of what they can get. Am I making sense? Yeah. So, I mean, listen, I want to add, I want to add athletic baby. So if, if, if, if we were going to lay down in any way, horizontally or vertically, I need to, I need to see some high school footage. Can you run?

Are you athletic? I take it to Dave and Buston's. Can you roller skate? Did you play volleyball? Were you a cheerleader? Did you run track? Were you a cheerleader? Did you run track? Did you do anything athletic? If you did, that gives me an advantage

with my DNA and yours, that gives my child a competitive advantage right away. Well, I guess I should have did that, but they was quick to cut them lights off. So that worked for me. I don't know. I don't know. They can run around the track on your own. I don't think you get a softball through the basketball, play kickball, frisbee,

whatever else cheerleader. I don't know what they did, but they were real quick. Cut the lights off. So yeah, they like it. Yeah. He don't charge you 1200. So I have another 1800 and shoot me, my three. Now I know you got it. Yeah. See, I thought you was hurting a little bit.

Now that I know you got it. No, no. Oh, you ain't hurting. Oh, shit, hurting, hurting, hurting. Only thing hurting him, only thing hurting him, my heart, now they sold that back together. Oh, man. That was a good one, I gotta write doing it. Only thing hurting him. Only thing hurting him. My heart not a soul that back together. Oh

man. That was a good lie. I gotta write that down. Only thing hurting is my heart not a soul that back together. Okay. Oh yeah. You know, you know, you know, you know, you you better know. I mean, hey, chat. There was a stretch right

there, boy. I thought we lost it. I was good. I was good. It was it was. I thought we lost it. I was good. Now, if it was, listen, if there was something wrong with me, this is the place where I'm safe. And me being someone who don't give a fuck about what people say about me, I have no problem being vulnerable,

especially on this platform, especially with you. Yeah, I mean. Yeah, I ain't got no problem. I came in, I thought I had to put my arm around my boy and say, hey, what's the matter, Hocho? Life's a B.A. You hear one day, come the next. But you know hey you pull through. You pull through. Hey every time. Hey listen. Hey you know how you start a lawnmower right?
