This is an iHeart Podcast.
The Made for This Mountain podcast exists to empower listeners to rise above their inner struggles and face the mountain in front of them.
So during Mental Health Awareness Month, tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being, and then climb that mountain.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.

Hi, I'm Sarah Spain, host of Good Game with Sarah Spain, and the co-author of the new book, Runs in the Family, an incredible true story of football, fatherhood, and belonging, written with and about Las Vegas Raiders running backs coach, Dillon McCullough.
It's the story of a football coach and father of four who sees his life forever changed by the unsealing of his adoption records.
And it's got a twist you won't believe.
Based on the viral ESPN story I did a few years
ago, this book will blow your mind and bring you to tears. Buy Runs in the Family, wherever books
are sold. I know a lot of cops. They get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. This is Absolute Season 1, Taser Incorporated.
I get right back there and it's bad.

I just felt like putting them on.
The black ones

By far.
Respect.
By far.
Yeah,
I don't even think it's a close.
Yeah,
by far,
the black ones was the hardest.
Robin Lucky had heat.
Yeah,
he had some,
his shoe game was damn near hard.
But,
y'all see them prices in Vegas
they had for a drink?
Nigga,
it was a Pepsi and a Gatorade cost $29, nigga.
Or it's-
Individually or together?
Together.
That's a nasty combo.
Nigga, what?
Man, I said, ain't no way in hell I can make it in Vegas, nigga.
Super Bowl Sunday, $29 for a Gatorade and a Pepsi?
Man, I'm cool.
When people were just like, I keep seeing people on my timeline leave
Sunday morning
or they ain't staying
for the game.
I'm like, nigga,
you know how hard it is
to go to one of them games
on an affordable situation?
Yeah.
That's a comma.
What Floyd paid?
1.1?
For a suite?
Erica Wheeler

Weezy was in that whole climate.

Great seats.
She bought some Super Busties.
You know,
Adidas probably took care of her. She was sitting behind a goal post. Yeah. Great seats. I bought some Super Busties. You know, Adidas probably took care of her.
She was sitting behind a goal post.
Yeah.
Great seats.
I seen Bubba Dub in the suite with Floyd.
Shout out to Crenshaw.
Crenshaw had the time.
My nigga Crenshaw kept us updated all week here.
I seen Zaire flexing with the suit in there.
I said, look at you.
Strong as hell.
Damn nigga, breathe, nigga.

That nigga had his strong face on and shit. Shout out to my nigga, man. Shout out to my niggas in that bitch. Damn nigga, breathe, nigga. Breathe. That nigga had his strong face on and shit.
Shout out to my nigga, man.
Shout out to my niggas in the trenches.
But hey, Deion.
I mean, Deion's dropped again.
Yeah.
We seen that happening, right?
We seen it when he's going back to Colorado.
You think we're going to get back to a point where lifestyle shoes like that,
like his everyday shoes again?
Because everybody went to, like,
ones and now
everybody else
is wearing whatever
random bullshit
and now everybody
wearing Sambas
and Dunks.
You think we'll ever
get to a time
where people
was casually wearing
Nike basketball shoes again?
Or, like,
the retro shoes like that?
I think D-Book
tried to do that
with his first shoe.
Like,
to where you could
rock it
off the court.
But, uh,
with everybody so designer right right now I don't
I don't see it happening
like in the near future
but
shit
all I gotta take is one rapper
just say I wear
hoop shoes with my jeans
and little kids fuck with it
and it's up
yeah I seen Hov
try to pull back out the
that's not quite
that's not
yeah
nobody
we don't care
I'm rocking them if they drop I'm getting them if they drop and then Hov tried to pull back out the, oh, that's not quite what I just said. Yeah, nobody, we don't care.
I'm rocking them.
If they drop, I'm getting them, Hov, if they drop.
Emory don't seem to care.
Emory sent me a pair, I swear to God, I wear them.
Sign them, too.
Emory signed a Hov sign.
Be the one.
I'm a fan of Emory, too.
Nah, facts.
Emory the GOAT.
Nah, legendary comeback story.
For sure.
But obviously, Super Bowl, obviously it happened. Your team
lost. Yeah.
Told you so.
I mean, Cowboys.
Cowboys been at home. Don't do that.
I mean, I was talking about us right now. The ultimate game manager,
Dak Prescott.
And his twin was right there playing.
Fucking sold us, bro.
You gotta score that in overtime. We gotta get a
touchdown. We gotta set up for a field goal.
That's crazy.
Tony Romo said something so smart on there, though.
He was like, shit, you playing the champs.
They've been here before.
Nigga, you got to go for it on fourth down.
Fuck it.
Every time.
Like, fuck it.
We there.
You just got to go.
Fourth and four.
Fuck it.
Try your luck.
That shit.
Y'all knew y'all wasn't going to win when fucking Pat Mahomes got the ball back.
Everybody in the world knew it was over.
Niggas start packing up at the crib.
Like, yeah, this shit over.
True.
The party was over.
Where'd this put Pat?
You already know where it put him.
Two?
Two, behind the goal.
Yeah, he two.
Tom Brady.
But he definitely out.
We had this debate.
This is how he trying to get to it.
All right, fuck it.
We here.
Everybody in Indianapolis love fucking Peyton Manning.
I do too.
I like Peyton.
But Patrick Mahomes
is better than Peyton Manning.
For how long was Peyton Manning here?
Too fucking long.
A long time.
He got y'all one Super Bowl.
99 to 2012.
98 to 2012.
He gave y'all one fucking Super Bowl.
That's what, 14 years?
Two damn long.
In 14 years,
13 of them years,
he let y'all down.
One year, he gave y'all a Super Bowl.
Y'all had good teams.
Out of his 14 years, y'all probably had 10 years where he had a good team.
And if it wasn't for Rex Grossman, y'all wouldn't have that one.
I ain't going to do it.
I'm not a Colts fan, but I just think Peyton Manning is a better passer than Pat Mahomes.
10 years out of his 14 years, y'all had a good team. Youning is a better passer than Pat Mahomes. 10 years out of his 14 years.
You think he a better passer?
I mean, 2013.
I just think he good better because he go up to the line and say.
His 15th year in the league, bro.
He threw.
He had his best season ever, bro.
Threw for over 5,000 yards, 55 touchdowns, and got a bowl.
I don't think it was that year he threw for 5,000 yards. 2013, bro. That's when they won the shit. I don't think it was that year he threw for 5,000 yards.
2013, bro.
That's when they won the shit.
I don't think it was.
I think it might have been
the year before.
You too fact-checked me,
but I think it was 2013
when the Broncos won.
And that was his later years, bro.
Payne been consistent.
The year before,
he won a championship.
He got carried by the defense.
Yeah, the next year,
he got carried the whole year.
Then he got through
with 55 touchdowns in 2013. They ain't getting carried by no defense. We got fact-checked whole year get the game the nigga threw 55 touchdowns
in 2013
they ain't getting
carried by no defense
we gotta fact check
that one
all I'm saying though
is that Peyton Manning
for him not to have
no legs bro
the nigga
stayed in the pocket
the nigga literally
had the best
O-line
fucking football
for
I don't know
when he was
in his prime
he had elite
running backs
and one of the best wide receiver quarters of all time.
I ain't going, bro.
I respect he murdered it, but Pat Mahomes,
you see what they gave him?
Marvin Harrison, I give him that.
I said that part.
I mean, that's now, though.
That's now, though.
I mean, he had teammates.
He won last year with them.
I'm not going to say he made Tyreek Hill.
But all them dudes, they wasn't first-round picks and shit.
Travis Kelsey wasn't a first-round pick.
Bro, they're the first team to win a Super Bowl
when their receivers led the league in drops, basically.
That's crazy.
They told Tony, hey, bro, don't even pull up.
D&P you.
You healthy, we don't care.
Travis Kelsey is a big help, bro.
Travis Kelsey is one of the best tight ends of all time.
I don't disagree.
That's just like with Tom Brady and them playing with Gronk and them.
So I'll give y'all that.
Yeah.
But so far as the pass
was just to me,
I just feel like
Peyton Manning
maximizes his targets better.
Man,
Peyton Manning do
outside the pocket
running away from people.
That's tough.
That's what I give him though.
Because he got wheels.
He got great targets.
He got wheels, bro.
He's more built.
Bro, if you got
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,

Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning, Bro, if you got Pat Mahomes, Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison,
Dallas Clark.
Perry Manning won with less talent, too.
He threw 55 touchdowns with less talent.
Are you talking about that Broncos team?
They're not as good as the Coastal receiving quarter.
That's one of the best defenses of all time.
I'm talking about his offense, though.
He had niggas who could catch the ball.
Not like...
Damn.
My boy passed away.
Marvin Harrison, damn. Yeah, my boy, that passed away. Yeah, I can see that.
Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, Joseph Adai, Ezra James.
I get that, bro.
But when he left them, niggas, he didn't have those Hall of Fame wide receivers at his next destination, and he won.
He threw 55 touchdowns, 5,000 yards, bro.
So he threw them to regular players like. Put it this way.
Circumstances.
Pat Mahomes is 28.
He got 10 more years to break.
Stay healthy, Pat.
All that shit.
But you got to do that.
You got to stay healthy.
You're eight.
You're eight, seven, eight, whatever.
Three and eight?
It's tough.
Come on, bro. This ain't even a tough come on bro this ain't even a conversation bro
this ain't even a conversation bro
I told you
he let y'all down for 4
and this is the worst team
he's had
I was just talking about
just pure
hitting your targets
he let y'all down for 13 years
fucking with your targets
I'm giving it to Peyton
all around hell yeah
for sure
duh
he can run
yeah that's what I was gonna say
I'm not arguing that at all
Jeff was just shitting on the nigga
legacy, bro. Like, the nigga wanted
it's hard to win Super Bowls in multiple franchises.
I just said niggas. That's a fact. Like, niggas
don't do that, bro. He changed the team around,
bro. Kansas City never trained.
They don't give a fuck. He break his neck.
Pat Mahomes ain't going nowhere.
Never. We never,
like, it was disrespectful to trade, Payton.
And I'm glad he wasn't, bro. I'm glad he wouldn't got a Super Bowlton. And I'm glad he wasn't. It wasn't, bro.
I'm glad he wouldn't got a Super Bowl.
Oh, yeah, I was going to say drop the ball now.
Yeah, I'm glad he wouldn't got a Super Bowl.
It wasn't, bro.
He had Andrew Luck, bro.
You got to think for the future.
That's a business move.
It was, but.
You had that type of quarterback available, bro.
You got to get him.
You do.
Let's keep it a B, y'all.
I don't disagree.
Circumstances were different.
But you got to let him sit a little bit.
If Pat comes across that time in his 14th, 15th year,
niggas is going to the drawing board, bro.
Yeah, but they're going to let him walk out the door first.
If we got a fucking Lamar Jackson sitting there and we can get him,
all right, Pat, what you want?
You going to let him walk out the door?
It's going to be on Pat's terms, though.
Aaron Rodgers walked out.
Like, all right, I'm ready.
I'm ready to leave.
Aaron Rodgers walked out the door, walked back in, and walked back out.
He played with the Packers every single year. That's how that was supposed to be done. Yeah. I'm ready to leave. Aaron Rodgers walked out the door, walked back in, and walked back out. He played with the Packers
every single year.
That's how that was supposed to be done.
Yeah.
He was fucking with them.
Just for stat purposes
and completion percentage,
Patrick Mahomes is more accurate
than Peyton Manning.
66.5%.
He hasn't thrown as many balls yet.
You can't go off that.
Just percentages.
No, but you can't do that, though. Peyton, 65. He hasn't thrown as many balls.. We can't go off that. Just off percentages. No, but you can't do that, though.
Peyton,
he hasn't thrown as many balls.
How many playoff wins
did Peyton Manning have
before 29?
I'm just giving you
the other stat.
He hasn't played football
since Tad.
You can't judge a nigga
that's been in the league
20 years
based off of
before he just got
to the league.
I can compare what they did
in their first time period.
You can compare
their first seven, eight years.
That's Peyton Manning playing for 17 period. Yeah, you can compare their first seven, eight years. That's Pat Mahomes.
That's Pat Mahomes.
Also,
it's a long time.
One thing we have to say
that we're going to say about
Pat Mahomes.
He threw 28-2 his first year.
That could put a dent in Peyton.
Peyton played in the time
Brady era.
We're going to say a lot of niggas
didn't get rings because of Pat Mahomes.
Who did Pat Mahomes
win a Super Bowl against?
YouTube.
Who did he win against?
Yeah, what elite quarterbacks
did Pat Mahomes have to face did he win against? Yeah, what did league quarterbacks that Pat Mahomes
have to face
or go up against?
We can move on to the...
What are we talking about,
Shannon?
Who did a league quarterback
that fucking Payton
have to win a Super Bowl against?
Payton, man,
he had to get through
the best motherfucker
in the world.
I mean...
I mean, yeah, he did.
So, duh-duh.
It doesn't make a difference
going through.
You're not going to play him
because I got to get through
He just played the number one seeds,
beat both of them.
I'm just saying,
the two quarterbacks
that Pat Mahomes,
the three quarterbacks
that Pat Mahomes
went up against and beat
ain't the caliber of quarterbacks
that Peyton Manning had to.
Ah, I'm not rolling.
You know who beat him?
Baby Bro beat him.
Baby Bro beat him he was he was
riding Eli yesterday
that's crazy
baby bro beat him
I'm just saying
Eli was going crazy
what are you talking about
Eli won
shout out to Dirty Eli
shout out to the lineage
I love Dirty Eli
I love Dirty Eli
it wasn't too hard
Eli beat him
he got the
he did it bitch
sometimes it go like that
Eli beat him so what he was talking about.
Who was that that got that wild ass catch in that game?
Uh, Carucci, yo nigga.
No, that was not Victor Cruz.
It was.
No, you talking about the crazy catch in the game.
The helmet catch.
Wasn't that?
I forgot his name.
I forgot the nigga.
It wasn't Victor.
No, no.
Shout out to Victor though.
I thought it was Victor.
Never got that nigga name.
I always wondered how Victor Cruz felt about that
Chris Brown
the crew tree pitcher
where he like
standing on the curb
I don't know
no pick
does he feel like
Louise
does he feel like
Swiss Beats
when he saw Alicia Keys
on stage
y'all get into that then
how y'all feel
Usher out of pocket
I told y'all
Usher was out of pocket
I told y'all bro
it's time to fight
somebody gotta
somebody gotta somebody gotta put hands on Usher bro enough of play. I told y'all, bro. It's time to fight. Somebody got to put hands on Usher, bro.
Enough is enough.
She was playing duck-duck goosey with that nigga.
She was going his way.
He was going his way.
He was there.
He was like, ah.
But the nigga did the fake smack the ass and said,
I said, he's out of play.
How about your boy going through Will.i.am legs?
That is insane.
That's what I told you.
That's what I told you
the performance went down.
I said,
he had tapped
into a ditty moment.
It wasn't when
Jermaine Dupri came out?
Huh?
It wasn't when
Jermaine Dupri came out?
I don't know,
he came out the legs.
I said,
what the fuck?
Nigga said
that Jermaine Dupri
definitely came out
like a newborn.
But it was so fluid.
Like, it was so...
I was like, what the fuck?
And you watch it in slow motion,
his, like, back leg buckled.
So when he tried to get up,
it looked super crazy.
Because he was on skates.
Like, why the fuck
are you going through
a grown man's legs, bro?
Who's more in the wrong, though?
Alicia or Usher?
Usher, because we've seen this before.
So we're not blaming both parties equally.
She was moving away from him.
She was scared.
She was scared.
He was singing.
He got real aggressive when he grabbed her.
He said, fuck it, you ain't going nowhere now.
She smiled.
She leaned her head back and smiled.
Yeah, she said, oh, this is it.
But it's not a thing.
It's a part.
It's a performance.
Yeah, they both are.
Nah, bro, that wasn't even a performance.
It's a mobu.
That was part of the video.
But they did not do that in rehearsals. I, bro, that wasn't a performance, bro. That was part of the video back in the day. But they did not do that
in rehearsals.
I'm just,
they didn't do it in rehearsals.
It was a flashback, bro.
That nigga Swizz
was probably like,
I'm gonna write this shit.
Swizz felt like Ray J
with Kardashian, bro.
At that first, bro.
It was just a moment, bro.
One of the greatest,
right on the greatest
performances ever, bro.
If not the greatest
one of them for sure
that was
he said it was better
than Mike
yeah
I'm gonna say number one
but I say
one of the greatest
for the
I think Prince is still
the best
cause there's no way
in hell
Purple Rain really
came down when he was
singing
that sprinkling system
bro
it sold me
cause I said
damn it's really started raining in Miami
when Prince started singing.
Yeah, Prince had Jermaine Dupri out there
dressed like a Mexican girl in her Quintanilla.
Because them socks with the motherfucking shoes was insane.
Motherfuckers said that nigga was dressed like the Monopoly man.
I was wrong.
Somebody called a nigga Junior for my wife and kids.
I was like, bro.
Did y'all see the memes that were ushered?
Somebody called a nigga the Addams Family girl.
She dressed like Wednesday.
Nigga, I was rolling.
Did y'all see the memes
that were ushering
Alicia's little nigga said?
My work wife?
Hey, man.
Yo, bitch gonna be on Wednesday.
On Valentine's Day

We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream
gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
It's this idea that there are so many stories out there,
and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person
discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology,
entertainment, and sports collide,
and hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.
And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space
and shaking things up a bit
in the most crowded of markets.

The plant B

They can't have them in Indiana, can they?
Can you have plant B's in Indiana?

No, because they put the laws out there, Mark.
My fault.
I know where you can get them.
Pro choice.
Love who you want to love.
Right, J-Boy?
I know where you can get them, though.
You got the plural?
It's a skin.

The name, the first part is my skin color.
And the other word is market.
Oh, thanks.
That got all crazy.
I'm thinking brown, nigga.
Oh, black.
The brown market's crazy.
I'm going to put like 125 on there.
125 is crazy.
Yeah, you got to take a chance at that point.
It just furs up.
Hopefully I miss.
Hey, man, that Usher performance was crazy, though.
For that nigga to come out full stride skating was crazy.
Her guitar solo was insane.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like her a lot, bro.
She might be my favorite female artist right now.
Yeah.
She is dope.
Yeah, she hard.
Her playing that guitar
like that is amazing, bro.
Elite.
I thought it was fake.
I'm like,
there's no way.
They like,
nah, she really do that.
Damn, that's hard.
I didn't know who the fuck
Will.i.am was.
I was like,
is that Kanye?
I didn't know.
It was just a
Brandon Ball nigga
with that motherfucking mask.
I was like, wow.
Then he went through the legs. I was done. That was crazy a Brandon Ball nigga that motherfucking mask I was like wow then he went through the legs
I was done
that was crazy
but
I got a question
cause I always had a debate
my heart used to get
them mixed up
Ella Mai and her
like who y'all think
a better artist
I gotta say her
me too
I respect
I mean I like both of them
shout out
they both could sing for sure
but
yeah I just wonder
cause I was like damn
only her cause she played instruments.
That's the only reason why I'm taking her.
Yeah, that's different.
She dope.
That's different for sure.
But like we said, Chiefs got Super Bowl, worst team ever.
And then right after we got Super Bowl, we went straight to Mike Ips and Shannon Sharp.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
That is crazy. Hopefully they crazy. That is crazy.
Hopefully,
they can figure it out,
but it went too far.
It did.
My exes did some
Indianapolis shit.
That's nap shit.
I don't fight.
But you're in my city
doing all this stuff.
But you're in my city?
What the fuck?
I was like,
yeah,
it's not going to end well.
But I'm glad.
I think y'all said
they ended it.
Yeah,
they cleaned it up. The niggas tagged us and they was like, y'all got to solve this. Yeah going to end well. But I'm glad. I think y'all said they ended it. Yeah, they cleaned it up.
The niggas tagged us.
They was like,
y'all got to solve this.
I was thirsty.
I was trying to text Mike,
like, you want to come on here
and speak your peace, King?
You and Mike about to be
Shannon and Monique?
Yeah.
I was going to be there like,
go ahead, man.
Get it off your chest, man.
What did he say that you didn't like?
What was the DM really saying?
I would have been here like that.
What's crazy is
these niggas is all
this hell arguing
about the DM confirmation.
I thought that being
the basis of the beef
was crazy.
That is pretty funny.
Nah, it is.
It's a little weird,
but I think it'd be
deeper than that, bro.
Niggas is human, bro.
It's like shit, bro.
You got a platform, bro.
So how you using your platform? You abusing it, calling me out my name, blah, blah, blah. You got a platform, bro. So how you using your platform?
You abusing it, calling me out my name, blah, blah, blah.
It's cool.
But when you get to lying on my name, I'm going to address it.
Say, oh, they probably shouldn't be doing that.
That's cool.
It's lame.
Whatever y'all want to say.
Niggas are still human.
I respect it.
I agree.
I respect what Shannon said.
Like, shit, don't be lying on me, nigga.
But I also think
it's funny how Mike responded
but I think the funniest shit
is Corey Holcomb
responding to both of them
yeah
I ain't talking about it
but if y'all ain't seen it
that nigga's crazy
it's real beef in the streets
yeah I wonder what
I don't even care
you know
everybody just ignores him
for a reason
because niggas don't
want to get that
nobody don't want no
beef with Corey Holcomb bro
when I see him in that
that Jordan sweatsuit
with the velour hat
I say ah yeah
he's on here
on straight bullshit today
he was talking about
his daughter was crazy
yeah
he on my mama
he's like
I don't give a fuck
about that bitch
I said damn
you can't say that
about your seed bro
you out of my head
he a different nigga I fuck with his show I fuck. You're out of my head. He a different nigga.
I fuck with his show.
I fuck with Corey.
He one of my favorite comedians.
You cannot win going back and forth with a comedian.
They do this for a living.
You're going to lose, bro.
Facts.
Yeah, because DL Hughley and Tune.
Shannon, it's Shannon's fault why all this shit got cracked, though.
It ain't really been their fault.
It is, bro.
Because he got the platform?
You let motherfuckers come on there and talk their shit
and now motherfuckers gonna start
throwing you in. You gonna be a part of the
jokes, bro. That's how shit go.
I think the thing that's not fair about that is
the people who can't get to that platform
is just shitting on it really bad.
Like, Corey Hawkins was funny, but a lot of that was hate.
Because you know he's never gonna bite you in that platform.
And it's no diss to Shannon.
I'm saying, though, like, nigga, his platform got the shit cracking.
But now you in it?
It did.
It sure is cracking, though.
Yeah, his shit slapping, bro.
Like, motherfuckers is coming on there, nigga, like he, Gayle King, and Oprah.
Oh, God.
I seen him at the game last night.
It's not no more.
You seen Gayle?
I said, who the fuck invited Gayle?
That ain't, what's her nigga name? I said, who the fuck invited Gale? That ain't,
what's her nigga name?
Gale got a nigga?
I thought they
dated each other.
Oh,
what's his name?
Thank you.
Stedman?
Oh,
yeah,
Stedman.
Oh,
you know where he at?
When I seen Stedman
living in the back
of the house,
in the back house
when it was COVID
and she rode over there
on a cart
and was like,
yeah,
Stedman's in here.
I said,
how the fuck can I get down?
You gave this nigga his own house in the back
of the property. Stedman walked
across a Roger Federer lot.
Kevin.
Kevin Federer lot. Britney Spears.
Oh, God. He's the original Stedman.
Could y'all be Stedman?
Hell yeah. Could you be Stedman? Hell yeah.
Could you be Stedman?
Nah. Or would you,
you being a man
would just kick in?
Nah,
I ain't want to be Stedman.
Stedman to Oprah?
Nah,
and my bitch weak.
I don't know.
Alright,
well say your bitch hard.
Say your bitch is,
uh,
who hard?
I don't know,
Holly Berry.
Yeah.
You could be Stedman to Holly.
Yeah,
cause I'll figure it out.
And I think Stedman probably,
Stedman is probably a silent hustler, bro.
He probably got a lot of fucking motion.
I couldn't.
I couldn't do it.
Because I don't think,
how you just said she pulled up on him
is like how R. Kelly used to have the hoes in my house.
Put up.
Like Stedman can't leave.
What?
Stedman didn't leave.
He did.
He could walk out the door because it was did. He couldn't walk out the door
because it was COVID.
He just went to the front door
and was like,
and she was like,
now go back in.
And she kept the interview going.
And it's just like
a little cottage too.
That nigga just waved.
Like, yeah,
let y'all know that nigga back there.
R. Kelly had them living in
two by two.
We ain't got to laugh at R.
Don't do kills like that, bro.
I'm just saying
like
how he said
she pulled up on him
I think Stedman
has motion
so you said kills
had him in bump beds
nigga
no
they had one bed
oh
that's crazy
hey
you see
I'm waiting for the raves
he was just like
he was just like
what if
R. Kelly came out
and saw the same girl
with Usher at the halftime
I was crying.
That would have been the greatest performance of all time.
That was a good one.
That was the coolest one walking around.
Same girl.
That would have been crazy.
Oh, shit.
Switch caption wouldn't have fit the moment then.
Naheena came up saying, like,
Lil Mama, hey, we gotta break this shit up.
I love him.
Nah, but I think
Stedman got motion though,
bro.
I ain't gonna do
Stedman.
Stedman got hoes too.
He not just
Frank Albrecht.
Stedman ain't got no hoes.
Stedman don't leave the house.
I don't believe that, Jeff.
Bro, she too busy
for him to pay attention, bro.
Man, he had that nigga
in the back of that house.
He got a camera on that nigga.
That shit like saw
back there.
That nigga chained up. All type of shit. My nigga on house in the back of that house. He got a camera on that nigga. That shit like saw back there. That nigga chained up.
All type of shit. My nigga on house arrest.
First Stedman.
Stedman cracking shit in her, bro.
He probably be mad
when he heard about Oprah. Nobody's been cracking
Oprah, bro. Every time you see
Oprah, you never see, bro.
You should go to all these red carpets. He is knocking
the Michaels linen off his little phone.
Color purple. All the bitches was with they niggas and shit.
She just walked up.
OG.

She got some good movies, bro.
Jumping Jack Flash is a classic.
Yeah, what's that one with the monkey?

but she was like
I looked at him
differently after that

I fucked
Gayle King

she said she looked
at him different
did she keep
fucking with him
nah she said it was after that it was kind of shaky she was at him different. Did she keep fucking with him? Nah, she said
after that it was
kind of shaky.
She was like,
I couldn't really
rock with him
seriously after that.
Yeah, I couldn't.
I wouldn't be able
to though.
I'm about to help
you pay for your
child support.
I think what it's for.
What it's for
make a big difference?
But how y'all
making it seem like
Oprah got a stand
and shit.
Y'all act like
my nigga's stand
don't got no motion
so you gotta ask.
This is Gil though.
It's Gil.
I'm just saying
they one and the same, bro.
But asking your girl
you start dating
in a couple weeks
for money is crazy.
A couple weeks is crazy.
A month in,
that's crazy.
Shit, they ask us.
Ooh.
Talk about it.
Tricking if you got it.
Trick, tricking if you got it.
Tricking if you got tricking if you got
what you asking
all that really
all that really
asking for the money though
who
who
just out the gate
when you first
really dating the motherfucker
yeah I dated a girl
that did asking for some money before
yeah that's crazy
everybody got a story
everybody do got a story
but just asking like
so the light bill
that's crazy nah ain't nobody did that cause you know that's what I'm saying You do got a story. But just asking, like, so, the light bill.
Nah, ain't nobody did that. That's what I'm saying.
Everybody got to play it off first.
Even if you a nigga
and you got to ask your homeboy
for some money,
you going to be like,
you ain't going to ask that nigga
the first day y'all.
Like, you ain't seen that nigga
in a minute.
He just came in town.
You ain't going to ask that nigga
the first day.
You going to just kick it
with him the third day.
You going to buy a couple drinks for niggas and everything. Then you going to be like, damn, the bill came in? minute. You just came in town. Anyway, that's the nigga the first day. You're going to kick it within the third day. You're going to buy
a couple of drinks
for niggas and everything.
Then you're going to be like,

She's going to finesse it
a little bit.
She's going to give you
a little night out,
dates here and there,
kick it,
act like she got some motion.
As to how good
the nightcap was,

how much money
she should get?

about the nightcap.
You brought it up.
Shout out to Shannon Ojo.
Nah,
this is the real nightcap.
This is the OG nightcap this is the og night i think this is where it started i want to like a situation like that i think it depends on just
how you fuck with the person like if you want to give a person five hundred dollars thousand dollars
just because you fuck with them that's what it's gonna be like if you got some if you gave a girl
some money after you had a night with her,
I think that's prostitution.
Like, you pay for the box.
But if you just.

That is prostitution.
We don't condone prostitution on this show.
I'm saying, like.
Get it how you live?

Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower All them niggas is too funny. They silly, man. They silly as hell.
Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,
break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small.
Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance,
you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say,
hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month,
a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible
and step boldly into the best version of yourself
to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all.
So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being and climb your personal mountain.
Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you.
It's impossible for you to love you fully if all you're doing is living to please people.
Your mountain is that.

Across the country, cops call this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.

I'm Michael Kassin,
founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company,
the podcast where I sit down
with the boldest innovators
shaping what's next.
In this episode,
I'm joined by Anjali Sood,
CEO of Tubi,
for a conversation
that's anything but ordinary.
We dive into the competitive world
of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with
stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate
and help the right person discover the
right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.
And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.
