Damn Shannon Sharpe, lol - Episode: 143

This could get me fire podcasts. What up? I'm just oh, that is John Magic and we are back.

Damn Shannon Sharp. So yeah, we wanted to. I mean, that's basically the news that's happening in the entertainment world, and we kind of wanted to dive into you know, that whole quote unquote when celebrities get hacked or embarrassing moments and just everything and anything about that.

Subject, just our two cents on it.

Yeah. I mean a lot of people pretty much know who Shannon Sharp is, but in case you don't know, I mean, I guess he was more famous for being a very high skilled one of the best tight ends for the Denver Broncos.

Yeah, he played from the Ravens for a little bit.

Oh that's right, he did play for the Ravens and then over the years he's become like a sports talk Yeah.

Well, do you do you remember like when like where he started. Was it on first take or was it before that?

I believe he was doing the halftime show for CBS. I don't know if that was his first gig, but I know that's what I remember his early years being. You know how like when they go to halftime and they go in studio. He was doing that with CBS, and then I think.

Like strictly Football, Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, But then he got really popular obviously during Undisputed.

Undisputed That's what it was with.

Skip and Skip and Shannon. And then now he's on First Take, but he only does that a couple times a week, I believe. And then he really took off with his podcasts with The Club, The Club when he had Kat Williams.

That was the one that kind of put him on the map. Although he was doing that podcast yeah for a while now and then he has another podcast, so I think he has two. That one at night what is it called night Nightcap? Nightcap? He does that, Yeah, and that one, that one is gaining a lot of ground too, especially after this incident.

Now, where did you first see that?

Oh?

I was the one that told you about this.

You told me about it. It was a day when I was super busy at work, so I wasn't checking my phone. I was just doing a lot that day.

Yeah.

I came back in the studio and you're like, did you hear about Shannon Sharp? And I'm like, what Now? The first thing I thought of, because remember there's that viral picture of him getting out the car of he was wearing like some sweat outfit, like matching outfit. Yeah, and he looked on the on the sus side. Yeah, and he kind of got And I'm bringing this up because something funny happened within the incident. But yeah, people started calling him gay and he was defending that on his shows.

And I don't remember that the picture or I don't remember people thinking that he was gay.

Oh yeah, that was a mean like he became a meme because how he was dressed and how he was standing. But it was a still picture, so it's not fair. Yeah, but yeah, that became like almost like a meme that outfit.

I don't know why I do not remember that. I do remember that photo, but I don't remember that. That's what people that was. Like the rumor about him.

Well, he started bringing it up and like a like all his platforms.

Wow, like you know that he wasn't.

Yeah, but also shouts out to Shannon Sharp because he's almost like that kind of guy that just keeps it real. Yeah, and he tells people, I don't care what you got, Like what matters is my friends know me.

Yeah.

Yeah, like he doesn't care what the public things like, go ahead and you guys believe whatever you guys want to believe. But so that's something that I admire about him.

So when I had told you about this, because I saw that he was trending, and I was why he was trending, I obviously clicked on his name and I just saw this screen record of an Instagram Live of what sounded like him having sex. And so when I brought it up to you, you thought that it was like the dude or something, and I was like, get no, this was definitely with a girl. And you actually hear him say her name, which was Michelle, and uh yeah, man, it was. It was just minutes of background noise of

No, So the video that I saw, it looks like he has his phone in his hand, the Instagram Live is already going and he it almost looks like he just throws it down on the bed or somewhere where it just lands and it's just the phone is still with the what what what it's capturing is like the headboard.

Yeah or something wall?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then you just hear it and then you just see like all the comments on the Live of people like.

Yo going in because they call him unk.

Yeah, yeah, they call him unk. And then you also hear like vibrations. So I think he had another phone that people were blowing him up on.

Yeah.

He talks about that they.

Were trying to tell him like yeah, oh you're on live. And then of course, at first he says that he was hacked. That's what was posted on his story, like I was hacked. I'm trying to find out what's going on, and then uh.

Real quick, can let's go down the line of as it's happening? I wonder so his phone from what he said this is what I heard, and where he explains it, he said as he's doing, as he's having sex, his phone starts blowing up. He talks about it's coming from people that he's he hasn't heard from many years, coming out the woodwork, like why are like random people? Oh yeah, it was a facetiming him. So he kind of ignored it. And I think someone from his management is the one that.

Was able to stop the Instagram live right, Yeah, I'm assuming someone's probably probably has his access to his Instagram is that what is that?

What he was saying, that's what I I That's what I kind of got out of.

It, and they were able to like get off yep, while he was like while he was on it, and then and later on he was answering the phone calls like oh, why you hit me up? And then they were saying like, it sounded like you were having sex on Instagram live, which he said he didn't know because they were like, yo, you're on Instagram live and he was like, what do you mean?

Yep, And so that's where I was gonna say. Is I wonder from there he talks about calling well, no, I don't think he did this yet, but I'm sure he called his team first. So do you think the team is like, all right, we have to go what's.

The word where damage control?

Damage control? Let's do damage control right.

Now and do the whole let's post on that you got hacked. Yeah, yeah, or somebody maybe has his logins and just took the initiative to do that. I don't know, but it was weird that he had put that and then admitted later obviously that he wasn't hacked.

Well that's why I was thinking, I wonder if his team's like, this is what we gotta do, this is what everyone does when something like this happens. Just say got hacked.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's kind of like the go to right. And then he had posted a little bit after that saying we're talking about it on his nightcap. And then that's when I had tuned in and watched him and Oho Sinko talk about it, and he explains that he never been on Instagram live before, so he you know, says that he doesn't even know how it works, and that he was having sex.

It was all real.

He admitted it.

He threw his phone on the bed and that's when it just went live and that's what we heard everything.

But yeah, he admitted everything.

So two things come to mind. My first thought was, kudos to you man, Like, you know, you gotta admire and respect that he just went out and just said it.

Yeah, kept it real.

It almost just humanized them. And to be honest with you, I don't judge, and after you know, usually it's weirder when they lie. Yeah, like you could tell that they're lying. But he just I admire that he just went out and just said it respect made it, made jokes about it, took the jokes. You know. He says he was embarrassed. So that's number one. Number two, you brought up something about like, yeah, that's good that he did it, but how did he go on Instagram Live?

So I believed that he. I do believe in what he's saying that he didn't do this on purpose, that it was stage. I'm just confused on how it got there because there's steps, so many steps to go on Instagram Live.

I mean opening up the app.

I mean, wait, let's see, Okay, let's open Okay, Well, what's the first thing you got to open up the app?

Well, open up your phone and then look for the app. So you now you're looking on click on Instagram.

And then what do you swipe?

Yes, well swipe left to get to like to post stories or whatever. And now I'm there. Now there's options post story, real live. So now you got swiped to live.

Huh.

Okay, So now I'm live, okay, but I'm not live yet. I'm gonna click to record and then it counts down.

Three one, okay, so then there's a countdown. Okay, So all that have had to happen and then he tossed the phone.

By the way, now that now that I'm looking at it, I thought when you I was assuming when you clicked Live that it was gonna I thought there's gonna be another pop up that says are you sure yeah? But no it's it just cows you down and you're on.

Maybe there should be an are you sure right? Yeah?

That might that might be something Instagram might want to do or not, because they're getting a lot of plug about this.

So here's my theory.

My theory is he might have been recording something for his own or for for her own or for their own right, maybe through Instagram because you could do filters and stuff, and I don't know, maybe there were Maybe he was because do you ever recorded within Instagram but you're not necessarily posting it to Instagram because maybe you like the angle or like the feed better or the

So my guess is he.

Was already within the app, maybe recording, maybe they were doing something that they were going to say for later, which is fine whatever, right, and then in doing that then he accidentally clicked on Live and then that's where it all happened.

I could see that happening. I'm on the Instagram now again and I'm just on the story if I'm just recording video pictures, and then I mean, yeah, you could swipe to Live and click and accidentally.

At least that's less steps, right, Yeah, that's good.

I mean that's that would be my only guess because there's just no other way it would go through all those steps.

I think think that's the more you know, how they say, the simplest explanation, my ockham raiser. I think, yeah, but again, he admitted it. I think it'll only make him more popular.

Yeah, I mean, he did do the right thing by right away he reached out, he said, he reached out to the bosses at ESPN let him know that this had happened, and the update that I had seen is that ESPN is not going to get him in trouble. He's not going to get suspended.

Which is wild because sometimes that's the go to something happens. Yeah, fired, which, yeah, that would have been sad.

Yeah.

I know a lot of people are comparing it to the Paul Pierce situation when Paul Pierce got fired from ESPN.

Man, what was that a few years ago?

Remind me about that one.

So he was I don't he was at maybe just he was at a party, or he was just at his house, but he had strippers and he was kind of recording himself with the strippers.

I think he was like.

Throwing money, and then he had posted it and he had got fired for doing that. Now a lot of people were saying that, you know what, like what's the difference, But I just think there's a big difference. One, Paul Pierce was doing this on purpose. It was an accident. It didn't accident. You record himself doing this post.

He knew what he was posting.

And there was visuals, and we all know that there's huge difference between audio and visuals. So between Shannon Sharp doing this by accident and we didn't see anything.

I do see that.

There's a big difference, and I don't think you can really compare the two. So that's my opinion on that.

And you know, when you work for a corporation, yeah, you know, we work for iHeart, he was working for ESPN, Disney, ABC, whatever. They they have these things written down that you can't make the company look bad.

Yeah, yeah, to keep.

It in a simpler form like so, yeah, that does make sense. But again let's go back to Shannon sharp thing. This doesn't make the company look bad.

I don't think so.

I don't think so either.

Yeah.

I mean he was, you know, he was having sex. I'm guessing it was you know, mutual, and no one saw anything. He didn't do it on purpose. He admitted it right away, which I do think there is something to be said about people that just want to admit it right away, not to mention. I feel like it almost goes away or kind of people respected a little bit more like, oh, all right, you know, he was doing like what people do and he admitted to it and it was accident. I mean, he is definitely capitalizing

Well, the apology explanation video. I don't know if you saw the whole thing, but I didn't watch everything. I watched a lot of clips. But he he goes into it, he like he really accepts it. I'm trying to find the word of where he's just he's gonna ride this wave because he talks about some the pills like pills. It's one of those like hymns.

Oh yeah, yeah, so's all.

I think he's selling merch now to or something like that, and he's definitely capitalized capitalizing it.

Yeah.

So he's like, hey, next time this happens, just know that I'm carrying this thing. But the fun so his co host Ocho Cinco hilarious the line that he says, now back to the thing I said in the beginning of the episode of when you told Me, I was like, wait, was he sleeping with another guy? O Cho Senko's line to him was like, Yo, I'm just glad that it was a Michelle not a Michael.

Came back to that, man. I saw that they did a roast. Yeah, I love that.

La Lavelle Crawford, comedian Lavell Crawford got on and roasted him. I don't know if that's the only clip that I've seen so far.

Yeah, I guess there was supposed to be like multiple people roasting him on this situation. The thing that I was laughing at was just all the memes they were coming out when it initially happened. That was hilarious. But I mean for him, like, I'm sure he was like really embarrassed. You know, your kids, I've seen this, and I know he said he had spoke with his kids and stuff like about that. But I mean, whether you know,

I was just gonna ask, so Shannon Sharp's yeah, personality, him apologizing him accepting it and admitting to it. It's almost like his apologies like yeah, oh cool, yeah, yeah, yeah. What if it was you? But your personality, how would you deal with it?

Man?

That's tough. I don't know.

I would like to think that I would handle it the same way. I don't think I would lie and say that I got hacked. I would think that I would handle it the same way because, you know, thankfully we didn't see anything, because that might have changed it a lot. If there was visuals, maybe he would have gotten in trouble, you know what I mean. I think so maybe it would have been a little different, But

My personality, I would be in panic mode. Yeah, super panic mode.

Yeah, like when he said my heart dropped when he said that, Yeah, I felt that of like, oh man, I know what that feeling that he's talking about, of where you're just like, no shit, like is that really what just happen to me right now? So I think I would initially felt like that too, panicked. But you know, he took some time to kind of figure out what he was gonna do. I'm sure he talked to his team on how they wanted to handle it, and I think he handled it the right way.

This a recent I don't I'm not going to go into detail about this recent thing. That happened. It's not too embarrassing. But the point I want to make is I'm glad how I handled it. So there was this, let's see how I can put this without going to detail. A partner found something that I accidentally left somewhere, and when they confronted me about it, like what's this, and I'm glad that I didn't panic. I was like, oh yeah, I was like, yep, that's mine, like my bad, like accidentally left.

It there, like it was it was yours.

Yeah, it was. It was something personal that I left and sort of got not got caught.

But this is very vague.

I know, I don't I just know. I don't want to get into details. But the point is the point is I didn't panic internally. I kind of was internally, but I was like.

Like something something that was embarrassing.

Embarrassing, embarrassing, and I was like, yeah, like yeah, that's mine. Like you know, I like how people are going to try to think what it is, but whatever you're thinking, that's not what it is.

Yeah, I have no idea what it is because that might have been the Vegas story.

Yeah, i'll tell you, I'll tell you off. But speaking of that you know, I have a situation where my heart dropped, and I'm sure this is not uncommon. Have you ever sent the text to the wrong person? And this happened with our boss from a few years ago, where I was low key talking ship and it was about him and I sent it to him.

Weren't you trying to send it to me?

Yeah?

I remember this and the apology after that. I was like, I'm so sorry I said that, and I think he just laughed about it.

Yeah, nothing ever, you know what you said.

I'm trying to remember. But it was just I was upset about something like how he was dealing with a certain like a certain situation situation. So it wasn't crazy like fuck this guy, or it was just like I hate how he's handling this situation, but it was to him.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever done anything bad like that. I mean, I think we've all done the where we just accidentally sent the text to a wrong person.

But it wasn't necessarily bad.

It was just like for me, like sometimes i'll talk between two people, you know, when you're texting multiple people, and then I'll reply to one person. But I replied what I was supposed to do to that to a different person because I kind of forgot, but it was nothing crazy. Have you ever been on the receiving end of getting an accidental text?

Yes, but nothing crazy took. Then you just fuck with it like yes, so like you answer it something.

Have you ever gotten like an accidental photo or sent an accidental photo?

No?

No, yeah, me either, I do. I've asked that question on the radio. And there's so many stories of nudes being sent to like their parents by accidents. That's gotta be really embarrassing.

You know.

They have that thing now on iPhones where you could un send right away. But the thing that people hate is it tells you this person unsend the message and it's like edited, yeah, well they edited one. At least they could see what you edited. Yeah, But the one where you unset it could go two ways. Number one, you could you could have really sent a wrong text

And you have to do it within a certain timeframe right.

Before they look at it, basically, well, and no before they look at it, for sure, but I think you only have like a minute.

To edit it or unsand it. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's a great feature. But yeah, I mean if they happen to be on their phone and they look at it right away, there's just like nothing you can do about it.

But I'm sure that that happens too.

Thankfully, nothing like that has ever happened to me.

Yeah, I wanted to ask you about embarrassing moments because I got a few. Man.

I mean, I don't know if my mind just blocks them out and my memory just like chooses not to remember anything. But and I'm not just saying this because I don't want to be embarrassed telling the story, But I honestly have been trying to think this whole time, and I really haven't had anything that was that crazy. I don't know, I guess I just tread lightly a lot.

But yeah, nothing really crazy.

Yeah, I've gotten I've told this story before. I've gotten caught sneaking in when this onehen. I started DJing when I was like eighteen, nineteen years old, and I snuck out to go DJ at a club and then came back home right through the window to my room. Right when I opened the window, my mom was right at the door, like what the fuck's and I jumped on the bed.

So, I mean, I have the story that I told. I wish I remember what podcast episode that was or even what the title was. Hiding in the closet yeah yeah, or you might have to go back and look, but that was that would be the close closest thing that was.

But you didn't get caught, and I wasn't embarrassed. I was like scared.

Yeah, I mean, just just real quick and people can go find it.

But basically I was younger.

This is I would might have been like nineteen at the time, and I was at this girl's house and her dad had already told me that he didn't want dudes over, and she had called me over because she was by herself.

Long story short.

When I showed up, we were getting ready to like, you know, do the thing, and her dad had came home and I had to like hide in the closet and he was like rolling roaming through the house like looking for me, and I was able to like get out and run away. But that was That was an interesting situation, but it was more scary than embarrassing.

There's an embarrassing moment I remember as a core memory in my head. This happened. Uh was it maybe what what's the high graded elementary? Yeah, this was maybe sixth grade, fifth or sixth grade, And the ice cream truck would come around the neighborhood, you know with the music It's a small world, Yeah, and all the kids would stop it and then there would be a line formed. All the neighborhood kids would line up, and there was a girl I still remember her name. Her name is Susan.

Now when you got pantsed? Was it everything?

I don't remember. It could have been man, could have been or it could have or could have been underwear, but either when you're a kid at fifth sixth grade where you're already interested in girls and stuff, I just remembered, like it's a core memory. It's still in my head. I still remember it.

Yeah, man, I don't think that's ever happened to me before, of getting that getting pantsed. Yeah, yeah, what about has anything embarrassing ever happened to you, like with this job, like on Rady on air, or maybe out an event or something like that.

Yeah, to come to mind, I've cussed on the radio before, accidentally.

You know that has not happened to me, Like you actually cussed or you played the customer.

No, I cussed.

What did you say?

I think I said fuck? Like what the fuck or something like that. But at that time, I remember in my head I panicked, But you did hit the dump button? You just played No, because I think I was on this side. I think you just play. I was like playing off where I go. Yeah, I said it, I'm gonna get in trouble. I played it cool, but really I was on panic mode.

Yeah you could have gotten in trouble.

Yeah, for sure.

No one ever hit that hot line on you.

No, no one did. The songs I've played songs before cuss words.

I've heard that you've done that most throughout your career. I mean to be fair, I know sometimes you guys get clean versions and they're not clean.

Uh, it's not really your fault.

That's what happens to me too. It says clean and I'm.

Like, yo, yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess they're in their clap back is going to be like, well you should have listened to it.

But the second one is a recent story from a few months ago go and it has to do with DJing. This was embarrassing. But and when I'm embarrassed, I have anxiety. I panic sweating. So imagine a pack club, like a thousand people in town here in Fresno, and I'm I'm playing super packed. And as DJs, midnight is like the prime time. That's when you save all the good songs.

It's not your fault, it's not my fault. I wish to be fair.

A lot of times at clubs or concerts or events, it's mostly like the sound like it's the sound person or something.

It's never really like the DJ.

Right, I was getting booed, like people were leaving. Can you imagine, like it's not even midnight yet. Well, at this time, it's like twelve ten. You could just see people work find time hours. Oh my gosh. I was on panic mode. I find as as the club is trying to find out what's going on. I look on the ground and there's this wire that's just laying there. It's called the USB chord.

And I was all, we all know what that is. Magic.

I'm all, let me unplug my USB cord and switch it out with this random one I found, and I switched it out, and from twelve thirty on to the rest of the night we were fine. So guess what it was?

My core chord was off or it was bad. It was bad, oh man, but how would you know that that.

Exact Thank you for saying that. Yeah, I felt so bad and I didn't get booked at that club for like months. I had to ask them to like, yo, like I need a redemption because I bought new chords. Also, also they were making me feel better. They were saying, oh, the DJ last night, the same thing happened, so his court might have been bad too. So I got to dj there again, recently killed it. And at the end, I'll telling all the security guys, I was like redemption night. That was my redemption night.

I hate that feeling. I know exactly what.

You're talking about because I was sweating.

I've done plenty of events and clubs where like the sound goes off and right away people just look at you and boo like it's your fault.

Yeah man, yeah, it's It was the worst. But I mean you learn something that also. I think the club has to learn from that as well too, is there always has to be a backup meaning house system. Yeah that just will play anything.

That's a good point.

Essentially, you just need music, you know what I mean, Like you just can't be in a club and it just no be no music, just have something that's playing until something could be figured out. I know a lot of times like when the music would cut off, like when we be at the clubs and I think we've even been together, and you're just like talk talk to be just start talking, just start talking about anything, because like the mic might still work with the music shut off,

Speaking of clubs that have to have a system where there's music playing. Since you just said that, it reminded me of freaking another time I was low key embarrassed. Is this happened a few weeks ago where I was at home, luckily in town, at home, just watching Netflix, just watching a movie. YEA ten thirty rolls around on my phone rings and it's one of the night clubs I DJ at and I pick up and it's the owner and he's all, where are you at? I'm like at home.

He's all, You're like, why, what's up?

Yeah? I go why He's all, You're on the schedule. I'm like, what, I'm supposed to be there.

And you're probably lounging suit.

In my pjs and everything.

Any times you end up getting there eleven, you smashed over there.

Oh man, I didn't shower. I just put on pants a T shirt. And But my point is, luckily they have a house system that's just playing.

Yeah.

See, so got there at eleven and knocked it out. But I was like, I'm so sorry, my gosh.

Yeah, I mean just to kind of like wrap things up though, Shannon Sharp, obviously it was trending, you know, the past few days. I do appreciate that he talked about it, and I don't know if we talked about this yere.

I wish more people would just be real about it. You know.

We've seen over the years people tweet something or post something, and they've always like I've been hacked. Somebody else had my phone, and it's just like, just own up to it, you know what.

I'm backing up on the story of the one where my music kept getting cut off. Yeah, when you just said own up to it, I don't know if like my DJ instinct instinct just like came in, because remember I told you I found the chord, so now I noticed that it wasn't cutting off anymore, so I stopped the music purposely. I stopped it. I remember I did this. I got on the mic and then I go, I go, yo, I thank you for because there are people that stayed. A lot of people left, but there was still a

I do it.

And the reason why I remember this I did this is go so don't blame the club because I'm the asshole. And when I said asshole, I played dude. I played asshole by Mike and the crowd went crazy. I was like, don't blame them, I'm the asshole and then Boom played it. Yeah.

Man, well shit on that note real quick.

I wonder if Shannon Sharp is going to be now used as a term like, oh, did you get Shannon Sharp? Shannon Sharp yourself.

We'll see, all right, until next time. This could get me fire podcast
