Sad part is people are making fun of this man instead of taking notes. His story is inspirational.
Every famous person gets hate but thats really only 10% of comments shannon gets
Stay for the stories!
So true
💯✨ especially on the mind set
This is an American tale for real!
Shannon gotta be one of the best story tellers on TV
Yes indeed!!!
And he has one of the best stories to tell.
Ngl It’s actually Mr Ballen
@@yomomma.. who is that?
The way unk speaks on his grandparents!!!! GOD BLESS THEIR SOULS!!
Amen
“ Ima tell u like my grandmother told me, if u don’t have no where to go, stay ya a** home” 💀🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂
I hate anything that makes me leave the house. Even going to the corner shop is a struggle ans I live in the corner. I don't understand people who can't stay at home. Even woman on their monthly going to clubs and lounges. B* you can't stay at home just for 7 days.
Stories like this is what makes Shannon so relatable.
Without a doubt💯🫴🏾💎
Exactly
LAWWWWD, UNC......I feel you 1,000,000%. Growing up on a farm in a small town in VA, I know EXACTLY
what you're talking about. We had hogs, dogs, cows, chickens & crops in the field. Like you, I got a college
scholarship. Over the years, I've worked for great companies and traveled the world. During COVID, I had to
work from home (in DC) & I finally decided that it was time to go back HOME (to VA). I've renovated the house
that was built by my great-grandparents in 1920. Thankfully I was able to get Wi-Fi installed & I'm now working
at HOME......literally in the middle of the woods. Life has come full-circle for me. I have absolutely NO regrets.
I often walk around this small 600sqft house and smile. I'm tickled. I'm happy. I'm beyond BLESSED!!
🙏🏽☝🏼💯
I know that’s right! All the best to you. Thanks for sharing your story.
I love this!!
great story. home is where the heart is
❤❤❤❤
Living in the South, in the country is not for the weak! They are the OGs including UNC!
These coming of age stories from Unc never get old.
Inspirational everytime.
Absolutely!
“Hard times make tough men. Tough men make weak kids”. That’s a gem
Hard times create strong men…Strong men create easy times…Easy times create weak men….Weak men create hard times….and the cycle repeats
@@KingBerry23 I'm stealing this one!
@@KingBerry23 It’s from the ending of the Histories by Herodotus from 450 BC. Herodotus was quoting King Cyrus of Persia.
Nàaaa, even though you make things easier for your kids, you can still make strong kids. For me I'm hard on my kids because if they can deal with me. They can deal with anyone else out in the world.
@@72Dexter72Manley72these kids are weak asf these days
Shannon Sharp humble beginnings is unbelievable. You wouldn’t think in the 1980s people would be living like that. It is amazing have so much respect for him what he has overcome. He is the living example using what you blessed with plus hard work talent plus hard work equals greatness, but you have to have both of those things to be great respect Shannon.
Yes, my grandmother in south carolina was the same way
Same here, I grew up in rural North Carolina, went to college in 1988, I grew up in my grandmother's house with no running water, no in door plumbing . We would bath in the foot tub or the tin tub. Looking back, now realize we had one thing that many other houses didn't have... we had PURE LOVE..
Love hearing unc talk about his grandparents and upbringing.
Sounds borderline child abuse
@Jacob-nu4nd in a way. Im surprised that ppl were still somewhere living like this in the late 70's and early 80's. But i get it. I was born in 80 and things were already "advanced" but the lack of knowledge from the trickle down effect of slavery when ppl werent allowed to gain knowledge and truth. His grandparents were raised how they were taught. And their grandparents were raised how they were taught. They didnt know anything else because their ancestor were denied that knowledge. But they gave him what they could which results in this stand up successful hall of famer that you see today
I swear his grandmother is smiling from the heavens 👏👌🏾🙏🏾
I remember living just like this from 1979-1983, outhouse, well, chopping wood for fireplace, walking to school
@bigman7570 the same except for the chopping wood and well. Definitely had the #2 wash tub! 😊😮😊😮
Mr. Sharpe didn't let negativity stop him 😊
This is Exhibit A why this is one of the best podcasts on RUclips. Love their takes on the latest football news but love all their stories about life even more.
Come for the sports stay for the stories
💯💜🙏🏾
I love Shannon for this. He knew and accepted the assignment.
Yep! He should right a book! I’ll get the audio joint.
That's why God blessed them because they learned their lessons the first y ime. Some people never Learn and others takes 2-3 times
Its called a tin tub. We used to visit my Grandmother back in the late 60's early 70's in the South, and we had to use the outhouse and bath in a tin tub. I always wanted to be the first one to get in the tin tub which was silver because everyone had to use that same water in the tin tub, and they used lye soap.
The washing machine I remember was how once the clothes were washing and then rinse them out would put the clothes through and it looked like two rolling pins at the top and you had to put the clothes through the wringer and the clothes would come out while you had to hold your hand out to catch them.
My Grandmother also had a coal stove.
Those were good times.
That is why I Thank God that I had and have been raised in a time where they Parents, and Grandparents did not tell you 24/7 that they Loved You!!!
But you knew through their character, actions, integrity, and attitude that they Loved You!!!
I am Thankful and Grateful to God that me and my Brother was raised in a two Parent Home (not saying that there were not hard, tough times) but our Daddy - Father showed us what a Strong,Tough, Integrity, Hardworking, Compassionate, Humble Man who Loved his Wife and His Children!!!
Mr. Sharpe and Mr. Johnson, I enjoy your podcasts because it brings back memories of when on a Friday and Saturday night me and my Brother's Daddy - Father would talk to me because I was older by two years.
I wrote about how me and my Brother grew up and the Man that our Daddy - Father was on my FB Wall years ago and on my YT Channel where I read what I wrote about Black History regarding a Black Man, A Black Father!!!
Nothing But Respect, and Real Love which is Priceless!!!
Mr. Sharpe and Mr. Johnson, and keep up the good work and showing people that there are Great Black Men who went through tough times, and still have Character, Integrity, Common Sense, Intelligent, Smart and have Compassion to share your stories so that someone else may get a breakthrough and know that they can and will make it too!!!
May God Bless You and Your Families More Abundantly then me!!! Have A Nice Day - Have A Nice Night!!! 😃😃😃💝💝💝🙏🙏🙏
What a testimony!
I grew up in those days I miss those days.
@gloriawalker7777…yes ma'am hard times but I wouldn't trade it for nothing in the world. We didn't have much but you couldn't tell we didn't miss a meal and a community of LOVE made a world of difference.
My maternal grandparents had a big tub that you bathed in too. We closed the kitchen door and use boiled well water to bathe. My younger sister and I used the same water. My older siblings had to draw their water from the well and boil some of it to make warm water too. They also used the same water to bathe. We did this when we were young but my uncle built a bathroom onto the house and that's how my grandparents got an indoor bathroom. They also had a black coal stove in the living room that heated the house. They had an oven in the kitchen as well. I understand what Unc is saying eventhough we had all the current amenities at our house in the city where we lived.
GOD BLESS YOU IN ABUNDANT FAVOR & VICTORY! ❤
Great story Shannon, I’m 70 yrs old, white and grandparents were sharecroppers in rural Oklahoma , today’s kids need a reality check just once in their lives. I’m retired now after working 80 hour weeks in oil industry and about same hours in airline industry, but my kids and grands know where it started, ❤
I haven’t heard the words “foot tub” or used “well water” in ages. I thank God for my humble beginnings & I can tell that Shannon is thankful,too. Continued blessings to him,Ocho & this channel ❤🙏🏽!
Unc...a very humbled beginning. God had his hand on you.🙏🏽
That’s why I rock with Unc….. he’s story is so powerful…. Much respect to him and his family…… you can change your circumstances, you just have to take advantage of your opportunities!!!
Shannon, you and your brother need a lifetime story or movie about your lives. Both brothers are a walking success story.
One of South Ga's Finest!
I'm a Georgia boy through and through when people think Georgia they think Atlanta it's so much more to Georgia then Atlanta I love my state
@@MrCoolkeith1983 yea outsiders. Those from here don't even like going that way now.
Watching Unc & Ocho videos make me laugh for a little while, I recently lost my mother November 12th 2023 my best friend
Definitely sorry for your loss of your mother. There is no greater loss than that tbh. A Mother’s love is something we can’t replace.
I enjoy listening to Unc and Ocho. These are some real men
Damn fam! Sorry for you lost. Praying for you
Deepest condolences man
Sorry about your loss. Wishing you the best because that is a dreadful thing to happen. Keep talking about her because you could be a help to those going through the same loss. Much love.
“Oh bruh, the bathroom broke, you going to have to go outside”. Man it’s good unk them days over!
Can y’all imagine LITERALLY jumping in a pigs den all muddy and dirty. Fighting for already perished fruit to eat!! That’s as humble as it gets. You deserve all these blessings Unk!
I like how Shannon didn't quit in life really easily he could of that's why I don't understand the haters this man had almost nothing all he's doing now is enjoying the spoils of life of that hard work and you guys are right tough love is best my mama didn't surgar coat it got me ready for life lessons
Shannon’s stories about his grandparents hit home. Me and my twin sister’s mother passed away when we were 1 years old and our grandparents took us in and raised us!
This show is a wonderful, positive platform for mens mental health. They come to share their life experiences, whether good or bad. Most men don't have connections with other men to share what they are going through and dealing with in life and need support.
As a woman, I feel blessed listening to Unc and Ocho's stories to better understand what men go through.
WE NEED THE BOOK MR.SHARPE. The recipes for success that you always share here need to be in a book so we can always have them and not need to remember which episode you said something. Please Mr. Sharpe please write a book.
You can obviously see the difference dude gotta be one of the most discipline ppl youll ever meet and he used his god given talent (but yes a book would be koo) for whoever likes a good reading
If he writes book,directors& will be breaking his door to produce movie based on his life rags to riches and his grandparents discipline.
I remember awhile ago. Maybe over 2 years ago some random girl on twitter was YELLING at Unc saying how privileged and blessed he is and he didnt work hard for anything and the comments where COOKING her bad. Proud of you Unc. Beautiful story from where you started until now
“…Sometimes you have to bump ya own head…”❤️👏🏾. 💯%true
I had that same "look back" moment as I left my Grandmothers house on the Indian reservation at 17 years old as I left for college. I left thinking I can make change and bring prosperity to my family and promised I wouldn't come back home until I got the job done. The problem is...unlike Shannon I didn't accomplish the goal...I let drugs and alcohol in my life but I still haven't come back, thinking I can still keep my promise. The problem is my Grandmother is now gone. If you're young and have that "look back as you leave" moment. Do whatever you can to make it happen and don't stray from your path like I did. Be like Unc instead. God bless y'all
Those are some humble beginnings. You just never know how people are living.
That's why my father said, I wanted to give things I never had but didn't want to forget to give you things that I had.
That well water from the country is the best water i ever had til this day
Amen!!
I AGREE!! The best water
💯✨🔆✨🌎 no cap
I’d always get diarrhea when I visited my family Alabama
Spot on! The thing we miss is that those hard times shaped us into productive and highly motivated adults. Too often we shield our kids from what they need most, that discipline that comes from a work ethic and then they turn out soft or highly educated but lowly motivated having had too many things provided for them. We realize this too late and the damage is done. Teach your kids self respect and build their self-confidence and esteem by getting them to earn their own money early even if you can afford to pay, let them work for that phone and later that car. They will be better for it. Encourage them to try college but if they don't like it allow them to choose a different course. That's my two cents.
Rev. Dr. Fred Price said years ago, ❤❤❤❤
....." experience is NOT the best teacher, BUT it WILL teach you".... 😎👋 I Always remembered this and used this as a teaching tool. ❤❤❤❤
Apostle price ❤❤❤
Dr. Price was my Pastor. Now, my Pastor is his son, Fred Price, Jr.❤
I wish my mama was alive to see this video she grew up on farm in Ackerman Mississippi picked cotton went to church 3 times a week used out houses yall can be related unk
You both are everything we never knew we needed! 🙏🏽♥️
Mr.Shannon understood the assignment 💯
Never forget where you came from!! ❤
Those listeners that have never experienced these hardships that Shannon is talking about will never understand what he's describing because they're minds can't comprehend them. Being raised in the rural South was a totally different experience from anywhere else in this country.
Hearing about Shannon’s gram and gpop is awesome
Hard times made the Black community a Village. These kids these days may need a little more “Village.” I really appreciate this message that bought back the real way grandparents were appreciated by their grandchildren. Such a pleasant look back.
Unc said I tell them hogs you aint finna get this apple 🤣
Unc and Ocho I fell in love with yall even more! When yall learned the lessons your ancestors taught yall, Yall were focused on the main thang! I LOVE IT! ❤❤🐞💖💖
His story bring back memories if you never lived in the country or lived like this u can't understand
"sometimes you have to bump your own head to realize how much it hurts" 💯
Totally agree being from Mississippi we walked every where. But I loved my grandmothers one was a bootlegger and the other one was sweet as pie. We didn’t have much but they were awesome 😁😁😁!
Now that's a humble beginning!
Gramps knew she could’ve used witch hazel or peroxide. She just wanted you to feel it 😂😂
I was waiting for him to say mercurochrome
😂😂
I bet his grandma balled her eyes out as soon as got in the car and left because she knew the good young man she raised left the nest to become what he became and she was gonna miss him.
Like my grandma used to say. If you ain't a chicken, then dont be in the chicken coop😂😂😂
So relatable. I was raised in the 80s and just like Shannon my upbringing was the same. No indoor plumbing, taking baths by warming hot water on the stove, sleeping in a full size bed along with my mom and 3 other siblings, raised our own food (chicken, pigs, cows, ), garden with fresh veggies(corn, peas, greens, watermelon,etc.). Went to college and got three degrees(BS, MS, and DBA). These times appear horrible now but my humble beginnings made me into the woman I am today along with my village. I wouldn’t change a thing.
Shannon you had me cracking up because I lived just like you except we had a out house but everything else was the same. But it made me the man that I am today. Life is great.
UNC I’m 38 years old now when I was from 6 to 12 I picked cotton in the cotton field. I grew up in the country so I understand where u come from
Shannon and Ocho, those were the best times. If children now would go back in time to our era in my opinion they wouldn't be the way they our now. Respect your elders
Shannon respect same lifestyle in Tuscaloosa County 1986 crazy😢😊❤
I grew up on a farm in central Georgia and i too had to work for everything i got. We did have the essentials as for as running water and a bathroom. But we were working class people who grew our own food and got it out the mudd literally 😅. Best experience of my life because it taught me the "value of hard work" and to be thankful of what i have.
This is a great podcast.Thanks for being so real and transparent Unc and Ocho. Your success makes you realize how much God had bless you and delivered you from your past to be where you are today Unc. Thanks for sharing Unc❤ God bless you and Ocho and your families 😊
Wonderful story about Unc upbringing. Lessons to last a lifetime. 😊
I experience the same thing as Shannon in the late 80s. I was 10. But yes, this was the deep South in Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia.
Facts especially in Mississippi
@@MichaelScott-uv1bt Yep. I drunk water out the well, use the out house with newspaper, slept on the floor with the front to door open for air.
Incredible story .
I love the sharpe Brothers history
Yes suh Unc I know bout that wash tub heck we had to wash clothes in that same wash tub and hang them outside on that clothes line but to me those were the best days of my life. Not to mention shelling peas in the summer on the front porch and the neighbors on each side of us the adults talking across the yard to one another mannn humble beginnings but beautiful memories 😊
You are telling the truth Shannon Sharpe
That’s that country ish I’m a GA boy myself you never forget where you come from.. I had to rewatch this one it hit home I was born In 89 but I felt all this
Shannon, go to the original home house and shoot Night Cap live from there. I know it's required a lot of logistics to be work out.
Hard times have a way of making us appreciate the things that we have.
Shannon and Ocho had great success because of the difficult days that formed them.
Much respect to Shannon. I can relate. Growing up in humble beginnings in the country builds character and courage you never knew you had until you have to use it. The things that you grow up being ashamed of makes you proud of at this stage in life because you can look back and say you survived most things that people couldn't imagine. Blessings to you Shannon and prayers for much more success in your future to come🙏🏽 So well deserved ❤🙌🏽
"Tough times create strong men, strong men create easy times. Easy times create weak men, weak men create tough times."
I’m born in 1985 I remember using the #2 washtub n having to use the same water as my brother or cousin I grew up in Florida in an island
This is why we love you Shannon 💪🏾
Dropped a bar with that last statement
My granny had an outhouse as well. These kids today ain built for a life like that! We would stop at the mcDonalds right before her house to use the bathroom..... and sho nuff BigMa would cook when she knew we were coming..... Still had to go to that out house and that well to draw water.
This made me cried. Thank you sir
Thanks Shannon and Ochoco brining back good old time miss thoes days
Unc is speaking facts, SALUTE.
I can relate at the age 35. I come from the bottom and now I'm at the top.. I thank God for bringing from a long ways
You humble beginning made you the amazing soul you are.😢
Unc I can identify with what you saying, been there done that, a humble beginning makes you humble always
We are here for it appreciate y’all letting us have some insight into your history. ✌️
By the time I came along my parents had moved off the farm and had a new house built in town but I remember visiting my cousins in the country. Everything you spoke about is how they lived and we had fun playing in the dirt using our imagination or playing ball.
That village saved me!
My momma from Alabama she’ll tell me stories just like this
Love this conversation. Thank you Shannon for the real talk and inspiration.
Unc’s stories reminds of my dad’s stories in GA growing up. And my grandma’s house was the exact same too
Inspiring AF
I’m 38 from Louisiana and remember the 80s and 90s and remember things that he’s talking about.
80s baby here as well..Louisiana in the house #318.. BootBoyz
*Success*
Shannon, I'm 57 i can definitely relate to ur child lifehood because it was mine too. I'm in Tennessee moved to the city when i was 12 yrs old and had inside plumbing, water and electricity.
Raised by grandparents since I was 9 in Pensacola, Fl. Only 26 and I think to myself everyday how thankful I am for them raising me. Remember when I got my first crib at 18, left a boy and grew into a Man 💯❤️
I love your story Shannon. How you’re raised makes, a difference.
I’m you neighbor (kinda). Telfair county Jacksonville, Ga. I know about everything you talked about. God is good 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I'm under 40 and had the same country, poverty-stricken upbringing as Unc. Life is totally different now
I'm still sitting on my back patio feeling those last words Unc spoke. As real as it gets right there.
Built black strong! Thanks for telling your story unc and Chad today kids need to hear this.
We come for the sports… but stay for the stories! Thanks for sharing Unc and Chad!
Man. I had a dad. One of few in my hood. It sucked (in my child mind) because nobody wanted to be my friend cause he did not play.
One day I hit my friend Ed in the face with a wiffle bat. Total accident, we were hitting pebbles and I was pretending to be Rod Carew. Ed started wailing. I'm like dude stop! My dad's home.
Szzt. My Dad came down the stairs, whupped me for hitting Ed, then whupped Ed for cryin too loud!!!
Ed didn't talk to me for 3 months. We cool now though. :)
I miss my Dad. He was a great man. :)
I graduated highschool in 1979. We had a water pump in the kitchen as the only indoor water. The bathroom was a chamber pot in a 5x6 room with a small window for winter or the outhouse the rest of the year. After college I got married to a young lady from St Louis. We went to rural Mississippi to visit her grandmother. She had never been to her grandmother's house. She was so embarrassed at the conditions that she apologized, the conditions were exactly how Shannon described. I laughed and told her that just a few years before I met her I lived in a similar situation.
This is why I love this guy and his show because when you can relate to a person like Unc and Ocho it just hits at home and hit differently.
