BEST of UNC STORIES Part 2: Type of BABY Unc was like + Rookie HAZING flashbacks

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:01)
So, Shannon, as the baby, Shannon, I am probably more proud of what he turned into, because Joe, he wasn't supposed to be, he ain't supposed to be there. He ain't supposed to be where he is right now. He ain't supposed to be as successful as he is right now. He ain't supposed to be as articulate as he is, even though sometimes he get his words mixed up, he gets excited and they don't come out right. It's okay, I know what he's talking. I know what he's talking. Hey, Ocho, I know what he's saying. I know what he's saying. But he was, for that time, he got enough of what that time was. Man, it is, and these stories are, these are just a few of the stories. I mean, when my grandfather was going to kill his own brother over my brother, that's how he thought about Shannon. That's how he was basically my grandfather's baby, even though my Uncle James is his baby boy. That's how he thought about Shannon. So he was going to kill his brother over Shannon.
Yeah, he was going to kill his brother over Shannon.
That's how.

**Sterling Sharpe** (1:22)
And he left, Ocho, he left, check this out. He left his baby, let me tell you. He left, he never came back. And when my grandfather died, he wouldn't go in the church and look at it.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:32)
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That is, yes, sir. Now I'm talking about that.
It's kind of funny, you know, spiritual as they were, man, look, when they hated, they hated. When they were angry, but there was no, I'm sorry, ain't no coming back from that. That, you know, cause, boy, what's you saying, man? Hey, yeah, my, I'm trying to think.

**Sterling Sharpe** (2:03)
Grady went like that. No, Grady was so loud. I don't know how they got together because they were the total opposite. Now, Grady would get mad, but she wasn't like, Yeah, my grandpa, yeah. Papa, you never, you never saw him without that 45 in his right pocket. You never saw him anywhere.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:19)
You just carry straight razors too. Yeah, hey boy, hey, two things a man should always carry, wallet and a straight razor or a gun.
That's the two things, a wallet or a straight razor or a gun.

**Sterling Sharpe** (2:36)
I was five years old, Ochocinco had a wallet and had a bill put in my left pocket.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:41)
And because we were robbing him, he didn't know it. He started carrying a chain on his wallet because we were taking money out to buy ice cream.
I'm telling y'all this. I've already asked for forgiveness. So I'm telling y'all that y'all know I've already asked. I've already asked God for forgiveness. But man, you know what, Joe? Ocho, fellas, I will say this. A lot of people can pinpoint one or two things.
I don't think I'm here this way, getting the chance to play golf all over the country, getting a chance to enjoy my NFL friends, my celebrity friends without that upbringing. I don't think I'm here. I don't think that discipline of... We've been working, cause in the Bible it says, do things not for your human master, but for your heavenly one. But I've been working for God all my life, cause the way Barney Porter had you do stuff, oh, God had to be pleased with the work we did. God was thoroughly pleased with the work we did because that's how we was raised. There wasn't a number...

**Sterling Sharpe** (3:50)
How much do we make for catching chickens?

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:53)
So if there was 14,000 chickens in there, let me see, me, Shannon, Arnell, Eugene, Laney, Robbie, Bernard. So the seven of us had 10, had 12, 13, 14 Every now and then we get an 18 We love getting 18, 19,000 chicken house cause that's $19 in our pocket.
But we getting up in there, bruh, and a couple of the older guys from Clifston were catchers. So they would catch. So a good night, Ocho, Joe, a good night is you carrying six, three in each hand. Now you want to catch, hell, you had that night where you got four in one hand and three in the other. And I'm talking about you like 12, 13, 14, 15, I'm like, weight strong has never bothered me. That's never been a problem. But that upbringing, man, because you didn't go in there going, oh man, I hope Uncle James, or I hope Earl don't come tonight, man. No, bro, we were like, we need to get it. We need to get this money. If we plan on getting, you know, cause we used to get jeans back in the day, but they were all blue. They were all the same size. They were all the same length. So regardless, you had six pair of jeans, they were identical.
