You're listening to an iHeart podcast.
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 2B.
We dive into the competitive world of streaming.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core? There's 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.
Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked
like it might bring down his presidency.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The Volume
Shadour discussed the hate he receives online while saying he's planning to be visible in the Cleveland community.
99% of the hatred directed at me is towards my pops.
And then I'm just his son.
But the kids didn't grow up in an era where they watched him play.
It's just the older generation that does it to me rather than younger people.
Because when I come to a person and they ask, there's no negativity I see,
but it's all over online.
That's why I say I like going to school.
I like going to schools in person and actually meeting the kids and any
questions they have, I say, just ask me whatever the question you want.
Pick any question, no filter, no anything.
That's what they say.
And then I just answer whatever they need me to answer.
What you think, Ocho?
Any truth to what he's saying?
Yeah, most definitely.
Most definitely, listen,
the young folks really don't have a problem with it.
They enjoy him, but it's the older kids.
Not older kids, the older folks in general.
You know, that's all the hate. And yes, some of the hate does, not older kids, the older folks in general. That's what we all hate.
And yes, some of the hate does come from his father, but also some of the hate is going
to come from him and what he's been able to accomplish so far.
What people mistake for arrogance or cockiness, which is merely confidence, which is all he's
showing, some people don't like that.
Some people want to be humble.
They want you to dim your light because it makes them uncomfortable.
Yeah.
My light, it hurt your eyes.
My light shining bright.
It might do, but I'm not, I'm not dimming it.
Obviously he's, he's a quarterback.
The quarterback position is supposed to carry themselves a certain way.
It's, it's a way in which he doesn't carry himself.
Um, and he hasn't been given any grace as opposed to other quarterbacks that were just as boisterous.
You know, they don't know, you know,
they love that, didn't they?
And listen, listen, it's different.
It's a double standard, but it is what it is.
So you understand that.
I hope he doesn't change anything.
I hope he doesn't change anything.
Just put his head down, do the works you need to do
and handle your business and change the quarterback position,
which hasn't been good for the Browns consistently
in a very, very long time since number 19.
Since Bernie Coulsar in the 80s.
Yeah.
And before that, you got to go back to Otto Graham.
So they really only had two good quarterbacks.
So I'm wishing him well, man.
Ocho, you're not gonna be able to win with people
because if I dress nice,
oh, he trying to show off.
If I dress down, he broke.
Yeah.
You see, Ocho, there ain't no in between.
No.
And there ain't no in between
because you're projecting.
You're projecting.
Right.
The man's confidence.
The man believes in himself.
Everybody that's ever accomplished anything has believed in themselves.
Sometimes you're the only, if I don't believe in me, who else gonna believe in me?
Exactly.
When people told me, Shannon, you ain't gonna do nothing.
I believe the one person that told me I would, me.
Because I was the one that was gonna be lifting that weight.
I was gonna be the one that was running.
I was gonna be the one that stayed in
and didn't go out and party.
That was gonna be me.
Now, if it didn't happen, Ocho,
I wasn't gonna be able to blame anybody
because I knew what I wanted to become Because I knew what I wanted to become.
I knew what I wanted to accomplish.
But no matter what you do, if I say y'all be go out there and do, I'm bragging.
Then I don't show up and play well.
Ah, he sorry, he terrible.
Now I told you what I was gonna do.
I'm bragging.
I don't do anything.
I'm not any good.
I dress well. Ah, he trying to show off. I got hold of him. He
broke. Hey, listen, so how do I win? But now I can't. I eat at
a nice restaurant. I mean, I wish I would pay $100 for a
steak. Man, them drinks cost $30. They see me eat at a fast
food chain. Man, he got his. Hey, he can't eat. He with a fast food chain because he can't eat at that $100 place. They see me eat that on a fast food chain. Man, he got, he, hey, he can't eat,
he with a fast food chain cause he can't eat at that hundred dollar place. You see what
I'm saying, Ocho? Yeah. So at some point in time, you just got to be secure in who you
are. And do what you want to do no matter what. And do what you want to do. Can't please
everybody. Right. And that's, that's the hardest part is that because before,
Ocho, we didn't have social media.
So people couldn't jump in your comments.
People didn't have a way of saying anything.
I mean, the national media, they might, you know,
you had a bad game, they would tear you up.
But now, I mean, everybody jump on your timeline.
Everybody got something to say, everybody.
You have to be in an era where everybody is very sensitive.
Individuals that are in the limelight,
whether it be sports, entertainment,
you have to be mentally strong.
Mentally strong.
You just have to be.
And if you're not mentally strong,
you don't need to be in certain business in general,
because, oh, they coming for you.
Yeah.
They're coming.
Because, look, everybody's not happy for your success.
And sometimes they wanna see you successful
until you become successful.
And then, you know, I told you,
Andrew Shoals told me a great quote.
He said,
the easier it is to make money doing something,
the more resentful and envious people become of you.
Cause everybody feels like they got a voice
and they can talk.
So if you make an X amount of money,
hell, I can do that.
Why he get to do it that I can't?
You see, everybody realized, man, I ain't fit to be 6'9".
I'm not gonna be able to run no 4'3", 4'0".
I'm not gonna be able to hit the curve ball,
the slider or the change up.
But talking Ocho, you mean to tell me with a camera and a microphone and he can make that he making that kind of money and making that kind of money?
Yeah.
So the easier it is to do something, the more resentful and envious people will become of you. And it, and I'm not, look, like I said, I wasn't used to this.
So I wasn't, I wasn't used to like, I'm expecting Kansas City to dislike me.
I expect the Raider fans to dislike me.
I'm on the Broncos.
We be hell at your team.
You should dislike me.
Right.
But when I got into this and I didn't know, I didn't know I had this like,
even at Undisputed, cause you know, I was everybody's favorite uncle.
You know what I'm saying, Ocho?
I was talking about George Floyd.
I was talking about Walter Scott.
I was talking about Eric Garner.
I was talking about Sandra Black.
I was doing all that stuff, Ocho.
We talked about Colin Kaepernick, Skip and I.
We talked about it when everybody else had abandoned it.
And would nobody touch it?
We touched it. And I'm talking about with both feet.
So I was like, I'm on my own now
because everybody kept telling me,
man, you need to be on your own.
You'll need to be taking this, yada, yada, yada.
I said, okay.
Man, he'll sell out.
He gossiping, he's zesty.
It's like, well, damn.
But they gonna come now. They gonna damn. But they gonna come now.
But you know what? And you know, a lot of like Shannon,
that comes along with it.
I was like, really?
That come along with it?
I've always felt I wanted the fortune, damn the fame.
You know, you hear a lot of people say,
oh, your fame and fortune. Nah, I could, oh, it's your fame and fortune.
Nah, I could have, I could have, I could have, I could have, I could have picked the fortune.
Yeah. I mean, listen, it's nice. It's nice. The, the fortune is very nice.
I hear a lot of people tweet that out. I want, I want the money, not the fame.
Well, it's really hard to have one without the other.
It is.
It's very hard to have one without the other. There, there is, there's, there's no give and take.
Well, it all depends on how you accumulated it.
See, if you've accumulated it in sports,
if you've accumulated it in entertainment, it's hard.
Man, a lot of these billionaires, they walk by you,
you wouldn't even know who they were.
No, you wouldn't.
You wouldn't.
Definitely wouldn't.
Definitely wouldn't.
You would have no earthly idea
that such and such is worth a billion, two billion, 800 million.
Because they didn't make it in a way that you saw them make it.
Right.
See, if a guy playing sports, you know, LeBron James has made 800 million, what, 500 million
in NBA salary.
Tom Brady made 300 plus million dollars in NFL salary.
So you can see that.
But a guy that invested in Google that you didn't see,
a guy that brought Netflix or Nvidia, you didn't see.
Somebody had Brookshire Hathaway you didn't see.
So, and they sitting on tons,
or they got this invested in a startup, Uber.
And now they 10X, 15X, 30X their money.
Sitting on hoards of cash, yo-hmm. And now they 10X, 15X, 30X their money. Said no hoards of cash, Ocho.
Oh yeah.
Walk right by you.
You never know.
Never, never know.
But, uh, but you know what, Ocho?
And, and, and now you see it comes along with it.
Um, that comes along with it.
That comes along with the territory. I feel bad, but I think Shadour being in the situation
that he's in and being who he is,
I think his dad has prepared him for this.
I think he's prepared him extremely well.
Absolutely.
You know, time got it.
You know, people say time was selfish,
going back and forth, playing football and basketball.
Why don't he devote? Bro, I don't heat the boat.
Bro, I mean, think about it.
If you can make 20 million doing one job
and you can make another 20 million doing another job,
you're like, nah, I don't want that 20 million over there.
You know, it wasn't like he was doing it on the free.
They were paid him to play baseball.
Oh yeah.
He'd be getting two checks.
And he was good.
Damn good.
I mean, you...
But, uh, it's tough.
I mean, some people are, some people are delighting
that he got, he went to the fifth round.
But I, you know, Ochoa, it ain't where you go.
It's what you do once you get there.
That's it. That's my favorite line.
Because at the end of the day,
you're gonna have to show one way or another.
You first, Ken Ward with the first pick, he gonna have the show what he can do in Tennessee.
Mm-hmm.
All the, everybody, you gonna get hell of a show to pass him cleat.
Okay.
You know, it-
Go prove you are what you say you are.
And he flying under the radar right now too now.
Mm-hmm.
Because of all the attention.
Yes.
And he flying under the radar.
I'm wishing him well too.
Yeah, I mean, I know you from Miami,
but everybody wouldn't happen
when I hold you with the Cincinnati.
No, probably not.
No, hell no.
No, I didn't care either.
Cause one thing-
That's my dream, that ain't yours.
Hey.
I don't know what your dream,
I ain't living your dream, I'm living mine.
Hey.
It ain't matter who cared who care not nothing I knew what to go happen when I got there. I can tell I'll tell you that
Ain't work this hard to have a cup of coffee. Oh, yeah, you know, I tried out for the Broncos. Oh, no
It was gonna be no try try out. I
Don't know nothing about that. Oh Joe. I ain't had no choice but to make it.
That's it.
That's it.
The work to put all those years,
think about how long you been playing.
I think I started playing tackle football at nine.
Yeah, I started at four.
Liberty City Optimist.
I mean, Miami Lakes Optimist.
I'd never forget.
Yeah, I started playing football at nine years of age.
So nine, and got drafted at 21, turned 22 like two months later.
So 13 years.
Mm-mm.
That would, I mean, not making it was no option for me.
I know they had something I can do.
I have a 13 year special team career,
but I'll go play in the NFL.
So.
Don't give me no chance.
Give me a chance if you want to to get out there.
You can get the job back.
I'm thinking about that, man.
That's so long ago.
Yeah.
1998.
Miami Lakes Optimus.
I remember my coach too.
Miami Lakes Optimus Pythons.
Oh, 67 of them.
Boy, you wasn't no damn four years old in 1998.
What the hell you talking about?
No, I'm thinking about my first coach.
I'm telling you what I can remember and recollect.
You said 1998?
Yes, I started at four,
but I don't remember my coaches when I started.
No.
I'm telling you when I first started.
I remember my coach, Daniel Dutton.
Yeah, yeah.
My first coach.
His mom was a substitute teacher. Right.
And that day at P.E. smoked all the kids.
Tell me about you ought to play football for my son.
You want to play football, son?

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.

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. Listen to Good Company on the iHeart radio app,

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked
like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
No one was let go.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions.
In just a second, I'm going to ask a attorney general.
I'm Leon Neyfok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra, you'll
hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years
ago, but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane,
I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra,
on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah. Cause you know, you, you, you, you, you pick, everybody got to pick three, you get to pick
three players.
Cause that's how you do it.
Don't you see like I came, I came late.
They had already started my first coach.
They had already got the team I already picked, but I was going to play on her team and I
was like, I got to play on his team team because he gonna take me home. Right. Hey, if you weren't bringing Shadda Sharpe
home, I couldn't play. Right. Because we didn't have a one car and my
sister wasn't gonna be coming to pick me up from practice. So Mary said, Francis,
you gonna fetch that boy home? Yeah Mary Mary, I'll bring him home, okay.
So, she brought me home.
Next year, Doris and I went in the first round,
brought me home, and then, uh,
what's the guy, uh, Billy Shoemaker?
Uh, uh.

And when I played, when I got to high school, Locho, I know it was a, uh, they weren't supposed
to do it, but you had to, cause my aunt, my sister would drop my aunt off to all the football
games, basketball games to track me.
She, you had to, sorry, damn.

My mom graduated in 60.
I graduated 86, so 26 years.
He coached 50 years.
Right.
Yep. He told the doctor, Coach Hall probably be about,
I owe Coach Hall, mama 81,
so Coach Hall should be about 87.
He told the doctor, he say,
Coach, how you doing?
He say, I'm doing good.
He say, I got one more guy,
I got one more boy to get into the Hall of Fame.
And then, doctor, I'm good after that,

He get in, Coach Hall, I don't know.
Okay, when you find out, let me know.
So he got in, she drove up there,
she told him, Coach Hall, boy, that show good.
So we just booked in his wife's reservation.
Think the other day, I think Shelly took care
of it the other day.
That's what, that's what makes it special. Oh Joe, when you have a coach that's been a part of this, he coached my mom,
he coached my uncles, my driver's ed, my, you know, all my aunts, my sister,
me, my brother, and then with a part of it.
Cause he lived in Savannah.
The home games I look, I see him on the side. I see him standing over the side.
Had a white guy named Billy Strickland.
Mm-hmm.
Ocho, only white guy there.
Only come from Glenville, only white guy.
At the hall, he was at the hall.
That man was so proud, Ocho.
He said, it's the proudest day of my life.
That had to be, he was, he it's the proudest day of my life.
He's a pharmacist. So my grandma would send my sister there to get medicine,
not have no money.
He said, don't even worry about it.
Don't even worry about it.
Yeah.
Billy Strickland was at the game, standing on the side.
I would see him, because obviously he and Coach Hall
knew each other.
They'd be standing there.
That's what makes it fun. Coach Hall, he drove to DC, drive to Tennessee, drive to Jacksonville.
If I'm close, Atlanta, he coming.
If it's anything under 12 hours, Coach Hall going to drive.
He coming.
We play in Carolina in a preseason game, Coach Hall going to drive. He coming. We play in Carolina in a preseason game,

And then they got their own stadium.
Coach Hall coming.
And man, it's so great.
It's an unbelievable feeling that he gets to experience it.
It ain't a whole lot.
It ain't a whole lot of guys coach two guys that go to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
And he's in the Georgia Coaches Hall of Fame.
Man, he was so proud.
He told me and my brother went up there for that.
Man, that's what it's all about.
Oh, Joe, Travis Hunter had a busy month.
First, he was selected number two overall
by the Jacksonville Jags in the NFL Draft.
Then he graduated Colorado May 15th.
And on Saturday, he got married

When you're right, you ain't wrong.
And listen, boy, I ain't got time to play no games.
But I'm jumping the broom.
Two of them.
Right, two of them if it need be. I told you, listen, pay attention, man.
Think about all the stories we've been talking about.
Yeah.
All players, basketball players, and everyone that's having success.
Do you notice what they all have in common?
They all married.
I want some of that.
I want some of that.
I'm telling you, I'm telling you.
Listen, God ain't, I'm going to tell you what my grandma used to. I'm telling you, I'm telling you.
Listen, God ain't, I'm gonna tell you what my grandma used to tell me.
God ain't finished with me yet.
He waiting on me.
I'm not gonna finish the work that needs to be done with you
until I have a foundation to build it on.
So I'm gonna go ahead and create that foundation.
Now watch, now watch, now watch that everything just,
just start to just, oh yeah.
And until you pay me my 5900, when I get on you, I'm gonna take as long as God took.
Hey, listen, I tell you what, I'm gonna talk to God about it. I'm gonna see what he say.
Let me, hey, let me tell you, let me go home.
You need to talk to me about it.
Hold on, let me pray, let me pray on it.
Why you gotta pray on it.
Why you gotta pray on my money? No, it's not about praying on your money.
It's just I wanna talk to God about it.
You ain't talked to him yet?
Yeah, we talked.
But he's about Unc.
And you probably say, God,
you know Unc ain't got no patience
and I should be trying his patience.
I need to give him his money.
Nah, listen, Jesus got the will, don't worry about it.
Long as Jesus got the will, we going in the right direction.
Well, I ain't in it.

Well, congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter.

Ocho, during OTAs this week,
A.J. Brown admitted surprise at his current mindset.
Coming into the league, we're playing for this reason.
We're playing for the trophy.
And once we got the trophy, it was just like,
I thought everything would be fulfilled.
Like the hard work and everything, but no, it's a journey.
It's the journey that matters the most,
that means the most because those are the moments
you look back with your teammates,
those are spending time with, you're going to war with,
you're suffering together, you're winning together.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, once you look, I wanted to be a pro bowl player. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, once you look, I wanted to be a pro bowl player.
Yeah. I want to be an all an all pro player and I want to win a championship.
I ain't think about no Hall of Fame.
I didn't realize the Hall of Fame till Mark Kisler told me in 96 like, man,
he's like, bro, you could put together a couple more years.
You can go to the Hall of Fame.
I think what I like, they take seven rounds in the Hall of Fame. It's like, what? I was like, they take seven rounds in the Hall of Fame.
He's like, it don't matter how you get drafted,
they go by production.
I was like, OK.
That was the first time that I had really even gave a thought.
Now, mind you, Ocho, in 91, we played the Hall of Fame game.
I went to that very building that my bus resides in.
Mm-hmm.
That's dope.
Not even thinking.
Man, they never even done.
Bro, I'm from Glenville.
I'm from Savannah State. I'm from Savannah State Hall of Fame
Yeah, and Joe Green in the Hall of Fame
But Terry Bradshaw Roger Stalback the greats are the greats in the Hall of Fame legends. Yes, but you realize and
It's not good enough to make one Pro Bowl because anybody can do it once.
Yeah.
Can you go back when they know you the guy when they game plan for your ass?
Over and over.
Can you get, can you become an All Pro again when they game plan for you?
Yeah.
When you walk to the middle of the field, man, hell of a game, Sean.
Man, Ochoa, man, you gave us that word today, Ochoa.
Hey, don't worry about it. We see your, Sean. Man, Ocho A, man, you gave us that word today, Ocho A.
Don't worry about it, we see your ass again.
Yeah, that's what I want.
I want y'all going to meetings on Wednesday.
I want y'all to circle to A, that tight end of 84.
We gotta deal with him.
And I totally agree with AJ,
because there's nothing like, that's what you,
Ocho, I never missed a game.
I missed the bus rides, the plane rides,
the bull jivin' in the locker room,
in the training room jokin',
in the meeting room crackin' jokes.
That's what you,
cause that's what you're never gonna be able to replace.
Ever.
You never, you never,
and you look, you're not besties with everybody,
but you're not gonna be around 10, 11 guys
that y'all laughin' and jokin' about.
You're never gonna be like that again.
It's never gonna be like that again, Ocho.
Nah, it's not.
And listen, and just,
but what you just talked about, about A.G. Brown,
I've become a little bit more fond of young Bull Man.
As of late, here's some of the things he's talked about.
I'm not gonna get into detail on it,
but his perspective on life and other,
and other
topics that I've seen him speak on.
And, um, he's become a huge, a huge favorite of mine, not even the receiver,
AJ Brown, it's about the human being, the husband, the person he is and values and morals in which he stands and said, I never knew that about
him.
I never knew it about him because I've never had the opportunity to interact with him outside
of the game of football.
But hearing him and where he stands, you know, and his beliefs, though, very, very, very
admirable from the outside looking in on what I thought an individual was like, you know,
based on what I see on the field,
but in who he truly is off the field.
Dude, I love dude, man. I love, he real sharp.
He sharp, and he got a sharp mind, man.
So it was a joy to see him in a different light
than what I expected based on the football player
that I got to watch on Sundays. Mm-hmm. I mean, I remember based on the football player
that I got to watch on Sundays?
Mm-hmm.
I remember we won the Super Bowl,
and obviously, man, it ain't nothing like it.
Like I said, we broke the NFC.
The NFC had run 14 straight Super Bowls, Ocho.
And to win it and to hold that trophy,
to actually be on the field,
to have the confetti come down in your colors,
and you got the trophy.
Now think about how many times I've seen
the Super Bowl winning team go on the field
and get that trophy, and everybody's looking at it.
Now I finally have it.
Yeah.
A small kid from Glenville, Georgia,
went to Savannah State and 7th round draft pick,
and I'm the starting tidy,
and they pronounced my name and everything.
And everybody in Glimm is so, you know what?
I know somebody that actually played in the Superbowl.
As a matter of fact, I probably went to school with him, his brother or his sister.
That was me.
And winning that trophy there was, that was, that was like, that was, that was at that point in time,
probably the crowning achievement of my career.
And I remember going into the off season and I like, cause back then, you know,
it was 16 games, Ocho.
And then, you know, we had to still had the two weeks.
And so we started playing.
I mean, we first week.
So I think, I think the Subo was damn near like the end of January.
It wasn't, it didn't bleed into February.
And I just remember like the off season, show. I was like, man. So I took about an
extra week off and got back into it. And I remember when we came back to OTAs and Mike got up in there
and was like, hey, congratulations, guys. I'm proud of this. I'm proud of you guys. He said, if you want
to be special, you got to go do it again.
Yeah.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like
it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
No one was let go.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions.
In just a second, I'm going to ask Attorney General.
I'm Leon Nefock, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal
that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Yaron Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple
podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
There are a lot of teams that's one-one in a row.
He said, if you want to be special, you want to be remembered, we got to go back to back.
And that was the mindset that we adopted.
And I remember once to see we came out of training, I mean, we had a great, you know,
as a matter of fact, we had a great training camp, everything was great. We had a great, you know, as a matter of fact, we had a great training camp.
Everything was great.
We had fun.
And Mike would put one, like most teams
have their schedule up there, all 16 games.
Right.
We put one game at a time.
He said, this is a 16 round fight.
We're going one round at a time.
Right.
Ring, boom, knock the Patriots out.
And so we just going down, just check it out.
Just checking them off, checking them off, check them off.
13 weeks.
Because think about it, we won our last last game.
No, yeah.
What our last two games?
Ninety seven.
Yeah, what our last two games in 97.
No, last game in 97,
beat the Chargers, then we go through the playoffs,
win the Super Bowl, then we come out,
so we win like 18 straight games, Ocho.
Feeling good.
Yeah.
Get to the playoffs.
But I agree with everything he said.
There's something about that moment,
and when I get on the phone and I talk to Burns,
or me and Ross, we'll call him Foots, feed some feed some of them guys and man, we just, Hey man,
you remember such a sub we that the back of the plane, Joni, I mean,
very few, very few times, Ocho,
do we ever talk about the Superbowl game itself?
We're talking about going to the game.
We're talking about on the plane ride back on the bus ride back,
very seldom do we mention anything about the Super Bowl itself.
We always talk about the plane ride.
Man, you remember we got aid.
Man, we got snowed in and we had to go get people
on snowmobiles to go to Buffalo.
We get to Buffalo like 1.30, two o'clock in the morning
and we got a one o'clock game.
Yeah, man, I bet that was so much fun.
Ain't nothing like that.
Ain't nothing like that. Ain't nothing like that.
And then when you're in it, Ocho,
Yeah.
you don't get to enjoy it.
You don't.
You don't.
Because you're in it.
And you feel if you enjoy it,
it's gonna take you out of that mindset
of what you need to do to make sure you try to stay in it.
So, man, ain't nothing like that
Haha, hey AJ Brown says he's also upset about the current hair

Damn, big money, okay. Yeah. Big money. But he did a good job of getting me in,
cuz like, like when I was in Atlanta, I like all my, I like, I don't like to do, I don't do
no walk-ins, I like a standing appointment. So for my nails, my facials, my haircut, my massage, I would pay for the whole year.
God damn.
Pay the whole year. Because guess what, Ocho? When I say, hey, I want my time,
they're more apt to move somebody to get me in as opposed to them moving me to get somebody else in.
You didn't already pay everything.
Yeah, I done paid. I done got that.
Hey, why you, hey.
Yeah, I always did that.
Hey, you complaining about me owe you 5,200
and you paying for nails, manicures, and haircuts.
They provide the service.
What you doing, you taking money out of my pocket.
Yeah.
I can't pay them.
I told them, I told the barber I would pay you money,
but I owe you only 5,900 and I can't pay you. I ain't never heard nobody do that. Why you yeah
Hey, hey, don't you change this out?
I remember I paid I
Had ran out cuz I'd get like
So I got this package and that lady runs a special on on facials
You know if you go ahead and pay you by 12, I'll get them one, she'll give you 15.
I bought the package, got the job at Fox.

I ain't got them no more.
But yeah, but I like that.
I like a steady appointment.
They know I'm coming at this time.
Hey, where'd I get my massage?
Monday, I should get massages Monday.
No, Wednesday and Friday.
That's my massage.
Haircut was Thursday.
Nails, Thursday.
I like that.
I like knowing. I like structure. I like a schedule. I like being on schedule. I think everybody knows that. And I'm gonna be A'd. And I'm gonna
be ticked if I come in there and I gotta wait longer than five minutes. Because you know
I'm coming. I've already paid you for this time. So don't A'd. Don't be trying to get
A'd. I can squeeze you in. Come at 2.45 when you know my appointment's at 3.
Uh-oh, Ocho, uh-oh.
The NFL has unanimously approved for its players to participate in flag football
when the sport makes its debut in 2028 Summer Olympics.
But not everyone is looking forward to NFLs competing on the national stage.
Quarterback Dara Housdeusucet has led the US national team
for four global championships and has emerged
as one of the biggest ambassadors for the sport.
Hoos hopes he and fellow flag footballers
get a fair chance to make the 10-man roster.
The flag guys deserve their opportunity.
That's all we want.
We felt like we worked hard to get the sport where it's at.
And then when the NFL guys spoke about it,
it was like, we're getting kicked to the side.
I felt like I was a guy who could speak out for my peers, for my brothers.
That's been working hard to get to this level for us not to be forgotten.
I agree 1000% with him.
Remember I told you?
Yes.
So it first came out, I mean, a few shows ago when I talked about NFL players,
getting the opportunity to play and the owners agreeing
it's okay, I still think, and I can stand on this, when it comes to Doucet and those young fellas
that play flag football for a living, that know all the nuances and the mannerisms of how that
game operates, they could be the NFL squad. I'm talking about our best players, our best team
against their best team that do it for a living against those that are playing NFL for a living, the flag football team will
win because they know the game.
They know how to manipulate them.
They know how to take advantage of the game based on the rules that the NFL players don't
know much about.
It's different.
And I said, I'm hoping, even though it's a 10-man roster, I would hope it's more than
that.
So those that actually play the game of flag football get the opportunity to shine as well.
So what are they gonna do, Ocho?
Are these guys gonna do anything or are they gonna start like
playing in the offseason playing flag football or they just gonna show up at 28 to my oh, yeah
we got NFL players and we just gonna put them on the team.
I'm pointing exactly. And now just doing that is we can put them on the team. I'm point exactly and that and now just doing that
It's also a disservice to the game
This is it does it does you've got a big name that doesn't that doesn't mean we and it doesn't mean you're making it looks
Even worse if you see all those big names over there, they get their ass whipped
Which is which is what which is gonna more than likely happen. Yep exactly
Which is why you need those that actually do it
understand the game and know the game.
And then, you know, how you can sprinkle in your pieces
of NFL players that can go out there and athletically
be a little bit better than everybody else.
But again, those that know the rules
will always have an advantage.
And he's led them to,
the quarterback has led them to four global championships.
Four.
I mean, well damn.
Nice.
He nice too, man.
He nice.
I played against him years ago. I forgot neck be nice. I played against him years ago
Um, I forgot where I played against him years ago. Oh, he nice and the whole squad
He was playing with he from New Orleans to if I'm not mistaken. He's nice
Yeah, I hope
You know
I can see if it was tackle football, little Joe.
Well, that's different.
And the NFL want to put some of their guys
kind of like basketball.
See, basketball is basketball.
So when David Stern says, you know what,
we're gonna make it as a global game
and we're gonna take our 10, 12 best players
and we're gonna showcase them, I get that.
But there's no correlation between NFL and flag football.
NFL doesn't have a flag football team. So to try to take the game globally, I thought that's what
you're doing these international games for. Going to Brazil, going to London, going to all
these different places. I thought that's what that was about. Let these people have this damn.
The funny thing about when I think people, people especially in the chat or people
that's obviously watching are probably going to see these clips. When you think about flag
football, they probably think it's, oh, you just pull the flags. Oh, our players are so
fast. But when it comes to the game of competitive, it's a key word, competitive flag football
with the elites that do it for a living, they will annihilate NFL players.
Yes.
Well, annihilate. You can manipulate the game in so many ways offensively. It's like, oh, it's crazy
the rules that go into it. And at what point will the NFL...
And just like flag, I mean, you wouldn't ask anybody for flag football like,
oh yeah, I hope they give us a chance to make the team. No, you ain't been playing NFL football.
You ain't been playing tackle football. Just like these guys that's playing tackle football
hadn't played flag football since they left elementary school.
All right.
Bro, you getting enough shine.
You in the NFL. Let these people have this moment.
I hope, I hope, I hope they get an opportunity though.
I hope they do.
Ocho, let them people have the moment, Ocho. Guys, you making 30, 20, 30 million dollars. I hope they get opportunity though. I hope they do.
Ocho, let them people have the moment Ocho. Guys, you making 30, 20, 30 million dollars.
These guys, I mean, they did a little bit of money
that they making.
Let them have a moment, damn.
Yeah.
I think, I guarantee you, they'll be a part of it.
They'll be a part of it.
You know, it's okay for them not to be.
It's okay if they not.
It's really, it really is.
Yeah, you know what I-
I mean, let me ask you a question.
You are gonna watch it whether NFL participated or not.
Are you more apt to watch it now?
No.
I'm watching it anyway. Thank you.
Yeah. That's my point. Yeah, I don't think people, you know, and I don't like the
fact that they just think, oh it's flag football. It ain't just flag football. It's
competitive flag football. There's a huge difference. It's a huge difference.
Someone said the solution is very simple.
The national flag football team versus the NFL flag football team in the
Coliseum Coliseum on July 4th, 2027.
Winner goes to the Olympics.
Well, well hell.
Well, the flag football team will be going to the Olympics.
You can't just throw them out there and make me go weak.
And I'm telling you, I'm telling you with the best NFL players, Pat
Mahomes, the quarterback, Chase and Justin, that receiver.
Lamar Jackson, that quarterback.
Probably Lamar.
Yeah.
Okay.
Lamar quarterback.
They're going to lose to do set and whatever team he comes up with.
Whatever team they have, I guarantee you.
And I put one of my savings accounts on it.
Mm-hmm.
Just hypothetically speaking, I'm telling you.
Yeah, and if people look at Lamar Jackson, what he's able to do on an NFL field on a Sunday.
Or what Jamar Chase, Triple Crown winner does on a Sunday.
Or Justin Jefferson, who can't beat Cuppett, man, it's different.
It's very different.
