So Shannon Sharp, that story's fun, right? So you got a guy that's about to get $100 million for his podcast, which I'll give his podcast credit, and I don't listen to the one he does with Ocho. He's got like a whole network of things. I think they're all right now under the Colin Cowherd umbrella. Boy, you want to talk about a real racket? And at some point, the podcast bubble has to burst right

just like everything because everybody's got a podcast every like if everybody's getting a hundred million dollars for a podcast then how the fuck is there any money left right but I think they're under the umbrella of Colin Cowherd who has a podcast network and you talk about a good hustle I think he owns it I don't know if he sold it or not, but it's called The Volume. It's got a bunch of different pods. I think Nick Wright has a podcast on The Volume and certain athletes. Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast, I believe, is still currently with the Colin Cowherd Network, which is called The Volume, right? I think. And he's about to get $100 million reportedly for his podcast. And everybody I talked to about that, they're like, how is that even possible? Like, dude claims he made $6 million just off of the episode where he interviewed

Cat Williams. So there's money to be made in this shit. It's very possible. Like, again, I don't know how certain podcasts are worth what they're worth. Like, I don't know how the Kelsey's are worth $100 million and they wouldn't be if not for the fact that they were associated with Taylor Swift. But the one thing that's and we'll get into, you know, Shannon having himself in some issues here. But just an aside on this that I find interesting about the kind of the business of the podcast world like I don't listen to his podcast that he does at night like I don't really care about Shannon Sharpe's opinions on shit like I don't really care about many people's opinions on shit so I don't really listen to that but every like he'll get good people that are good

guests to be interviewed like I was listening to Damon Wayans on there the other day and Bobby Brown I don't think he's a particularly good interviewer he's just got like this giant like I heard Dave Portnoy was interviewed by him and then never they never ran the interview for some reason but the dude just has a giant stack of fucking cards and asks a lot of generic questions like I don't think he's a good interviewer but I think the people he gets on are good guests that I find interesting. Like I thought the Damon Wayans one was really good. Bobby Brown wasn't bad. I've listened to a couple that he's done. Like I give the guy credit.

I give anybody credit who can find a way to make a ton of cash doing this type of shit. I don't make a ton of cash doing this type of shit. I could make more cash doing it if I put more thought and effort and promotion into it. But as of right now, I just sit in my bed in my underwear and I talk shit about stuff. At some point, maybe that'll change. I would hope it would change, but who knows? They also have a head start because they're celebrities and they're on TV. But think of your Colin Cowherd. And basically the way this shit works is you own all these podcasts, I guess, and you add up all the downloads that all of these podcasts get in a given month i think this is how this works because i tried once uh

one time i tried to join the outkick thing with the podcast this is around this is early rona time and this is i think this is before it had to have been before yeah it was it was before Clay Travis became new Rush Limbaugh and took over for Rush and I reached out to his people like hey I have a podcast and I'd like and I and I want to say that Jason Whitlock's podcast was on there at the time whatever and while I was never like in their lane as it relates to right-wing shit during the Rona I was quite angry about the world and slightly more political than I am now. And I reached out and I'm like, you know, can I get my podcast on there? And I had to talk with their guy about it. And I forgot how it all worked out.

Obviously it never came to fruition. But what I did learn essentially is the way of the podcast world is the reason why these guys want to start networks and have their own little podcast click of people, the guy that owns it basically gets all of the downloads, right? All of those downloads. And then like disperses the money to the people on the podcast based on the percentage of the downloads they generated is essentially how it goes. Why any of this matters? I don't know. I just, I found, I find the whole business of this thing to be fascinating. And I tell you all that to tell you this, that Shannon Sharpe is going to make a shit ton of money because I don't think this whole thing is going to keep him from making his $100 million, uh, in his podcast empire.

But anyway, let's get into the Shannon Sharpe stuff. Let's play a couple of commercials and, uh, we will continue.

She was like 19, 20 years old. He was in his mid-50s when they started hooking up. She's accusing him of rape and sexual assault. He says it's a shakedown. Allegedly $10 million was offered to her to shut the fuck up.

It was a settlement. They turned that down. Tony Busby's involved. Shannon Sharp says Tony Busby targets black guys. And he's not going to tolerate this shit and there's edited audio and blah blah blah here's how you can eliminate all of this shit here's how you cannot have to worry about early 20s late teens only fans thirst traps shaking you down for a hundred million dollars here's how stop fucking 18 19 20year-old thirst traps on OnlyFans.

Now, that's obvious. And I get, like, you're 56, 57. Dudes want to fuck. I get it. I'm down with it. I respect it. People are horn dogs. People want to, you know, I get it.

And you got someone that wants to get down. I get it. I respect that. I get it. It's something, it's not a life I live, obviously, but you do and the options are there. But that's the other point. If the options are there and all the options exist, you're a rich dude. I feel like a rich dude could find a rich, classy ass woman that he could just be with. Doesn't have to be one that's 55 years old.

Could be someone in her 30s, God forbid, I know. But a chick like in her 30s or even early 40s. Like I get that you're in your 50s, you're rich, you're single, you're out there doing all the shit you want to do. And I admire that. That's pretty fucking cool. My problem with Shannon Sharp is every two months there's some sort of sex story involving Shannon Sharp.

And I'm just sick of hearing about who Shannon Sharp is fucking. I'm actually sick of hearing audio of Shannon Sharp fucking. Like, that's where we are now. It's just constant Shannon Sharp shit. Like, and apparently the dude likes to record shit and show it to people. Like, bro, like, here's the other thing about bragging about who you're screwing. If you're bragging about who you're screwing and you're paying them to screw and they're basically you're their sugar daddy. Like, what are you bragging about?

Like, you brag about being able to screw chicks because they're just hot and they're screwing you because they want to screw you, which is rare anyway. But like walking around showing your buddies videos, you banging this chick on your phone and you're like, look at this man man man uncle uncle god damn whatever great you're paying this chick to fuck you like it's what are you doing like do better bro like like none of these here's the thing that these middle-aged dudes need to learn about ugly dudes middle-aged dudes rich dudes rich ugly middle-aged dudes these people are not fucking you because they like you they are not fucking you because they like you. They are not fucking you because you're attractive. They are not fucking you because they feel a connection to you. Look, I'm sure that there's somehow Bill Belichick, for as smart as he is, I'm sure Bill Belichick has convinced himself that this gal that he's banging that's like 50 years younger than

him, that she's banging him because she likes him. She's not. She's banging you because you're rich and you're powerful and she can live a lavish lifestyle. Now, if you're both in that agreement, you're okay with that, that's fine. I get the vibe that most of these dudes are content with that. I don't think Bill Belichick thinks that the chick that he's banging loves him. I think he's smart enough. The guy's won like nine Super Bowls. You think Bill Belichick is sitting there going, oh yeah, she loves me.

No, I think Bill Belichick is smart enough to know that she in fact does not love him and he just accepts it in its agreement they have. I think that Shannon Sharp had some sort of thought in his mind that there was an agreement between he and this gal that was, that they were just gonna bang it out, whatever. You can't keep fucking with these chicks, bro.

Stop. You're already worth millions. You already have a mansion. You already have television shows, big podcasts. You're going to get $100 million for your podcast. There's no reason for you to be scouring the depths of sex internet for this. There's no reason for that. There's no reason for you to be on OnlyFans. There's no reason for you to be on OnlyFans.

There's no reason for you to slide into anybody's DMs. Like, nothing good. You're 57 years old, this chick is 20. Nothing good will come of this. You'll say, well, Josh, he gets to fuck the chick. That's great. Then what happens after? It's a trap.

You cannot do it. Is it possible that this was an extortion and a shakedown, as he put it, and that this was a whole setup? Very possible. Is it possible that she was in love with him for five minutes and then decided to extort him? I don't know. Maybe.

But, brother, you got to stop. I'm not one to tell you to stop going out there and getting some. But in 2025, dude, you're a rich, powerful dude. You've got a big podcast, millions of dollars in the bank. Nine and a half out of 10 women that want to fuck do not want to fuck you because they like you. It's because you are rich, powerful, $100 million in the bank. So you got to stay away from that shit, dog. Be smarter than that. I know it's easier to say, you know who's got it right? We always talk about how the youth have it wrong on everything and they live in this different world and they don't know what it's like. You know, who's smart as shit. A lot of these like Gen Zers and shit who don't date, don't screw. They sit at

home and play Nintendo and they buy a flashlight. They're the smart ones. You want to know how you don't get accused of sexual assault. Don't fuck. Look, I solved it. Look, I know you're saying, Josh, no one's going to take you for some sort of scholar you're obviously not the smartest guy here but wow you really brought forth some real compelling evidence here josh and your point of view here is very welcomed what's that point of view stay at home play nintendo and if you don't want to get extorted and you don't want to get accused of sexual assault and you don't want to have some girl to rip you on the internet for trying to hit on her, all this shit, you know what you do?

You stay home, you play Minecraft, and you get a fleshlight. And guess what? You can name it. Name the fleshlight if you want to. Or if you have enough money from door dashing or whatever it may be, go get a real life animatronic sex doll. Go be like Lamar. Go be like Lamar Odom. Get yourself a real life sex doll and go get that. Name it. Have it made in whatever, like,

look who, like whatever girl you were obsessed with when you were in college or whatever, whatever celebrity you're obsessed with. Go make it look like that. And you guys can hang out at home. You can talk. She won't talk back, but you'll be happy about that because you guys can hang out at home you can talk she won't talk back but you'll be happy about that because you'll be playing madden and life will be good and then whenever you feel randy you have at it with your sex doll and you know who's not going to accuse you of sexual assault your sex doll there you go and then just never leave the house except to go buy weed and high sea and then boom keep doing it over and over. These are the smart people. Actually, you cannot get accused of crimes. If you're just at home minding your own business for the most

part, like it is. And I say that like now in all seriousness, like if you're a dude that's in his early twenties in the world of the internet, social media and all this shit, do you want to go out and hit on somebody at a bar? Fuck? No, you don't. At the end of the internet, social media, and all this shit? Do you want to go out and hit on somebody at a bar? Fuck no, you don't. At the end of the day, what are you trying to get? You're not looking for some sort of soul-connecting relationship. You're a horn dog. You're looking to get laid. Well, you want to know the easiest way to get laid? Drink beer at home, get your flashlight, and watch The Hub. Look, I know that you're listening to this saying, Josh, I did not know you to be so wise. But every now and then it's important to take advice from me because I know of which I speak.

I know these things. Not that I've ever done them, but I know them. Like, you read these studies. There are studies and, like, the surveys where dudes are just like, I don't even try to fuck around with chicks anymore because, like, that could be the end of you. You say the wrong thing to someone. Like, there are people who won't get into an elevator with a woman and you might say well that's bullshit well no not really because oh you're being very that's very judgy assuming that some woman's going to accuse you of something I don't know that she will but I'm not going to give her the fucking chance that's a lot of people like people are afraid to say certain

things in front of people now some things like you can go back into the old days and think about how i say the old days but go back in the past and see how people used to handle the work environment how they used to talk with each other you know probably some of that shouldn't be acceptable now that's fine things were a different world when you were don draper or whatever but there are a lot of things now that are really harmless and people just get fucked over for them really good you know like so it's hard imagine you're some dude you walk around the store you check some chick out she's offended that she catches you looking at her in the produce aisle like i'm

sorry like she's offended by like you can't like what is the benefit to a lot of this stuff and how it relates to shannon sharp is you have a chance to make a hundred million dollars is this chick from only fans really worth that? Like, if you're going to do this kind of shit, go out and, like, sign waivers and shit. Like Derek Jeter. You know who's never been accused of sexual assault? Derek Jeter.

Why? Waivers, gift baskets, go home. But, like, you guys get into these deep relationships with these crazy bitches. That's the other thing. Like, Derek Jeter. Now, there might be some shit we didn't know about, but you never hear a ton of stories about Derek Jeter But like you guys get into these deep relationships with these crazy bitches. That's the other thing. Like Derek Jeter. Now, there might be some shit we didn't know about.

But you never hear a ton of stories about Derek Jeter like involved in some weird wacky shit with some crazy ass fatal attraction bitch. Problem with guys like Shannon Sharp is he's fucking around with wackos on OnlyFans, man. Like that's the problem you run into. Not to say this chick's a wacko. I don't know if she, if, you know, he, like if he did this or didn't do this I don't know what happened but just only fans in general like what ends up happening is you're fucking with people like do better you know what I'm saying just do better go out be smarter about what you do I don't care that you're out banging anything that you want and paying for go do whatever you do bro you got the money these are the chicks but you're gonna find yourself in

a position like this a lot now do I think Shannon Sharp is getting shaken down just based on everything and Tony Busby being involved probably do I think that he made a giant mistake by hooking up with these chicks yeah what are you doing like how is it that this dude is constantly in the news for sex how is it that like oh today shannon sharp accidentally leaked his video of him banging some chick which i am still of the belief was deliberate i believe he did that on purpose i don't believe you just accidentally go live with your sex. I don't care how old you are and how out of touch you are. The multiple steps it takes to go live on Instagram, I do not believe that you accidentally went live, especially if this chick's

telling the truth about how he filmed them and then started showing it to other people. I think Shannon Sharp was trying to brag about hooking up with some chick because people think he's gay, and that's why he did it. Again, I don't know that for a fact, but that's what I think Shannon Sharp was trying to brag about hooking up with some chick because people think he's gay, and that's why he did it. Again, I don't know that for a fact, but that's what I think. Do better, bro. Do better. Get a fleshlight. Anytime you're on OnlyFans and you're like, hey, look at this chick.

I'm going to slide into this chick's DMs or whatever. She slides into yours. You block her, and you get out your fleshlight. Give it a name. a relationship take it for car rides ride a tandem bicycle with it i don't give a shit what you do with it but when you've got hundreds of millions of dollars on the line and you're a rich dude don't fuck with this shit this isn't difficult bro but whatever all right more to come
