This is 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. Would others dismiss as niche we embrace as core?
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.
Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts. 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 Dylan 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 I was the second strongest player.

You was the second strongest player on your team maybe.

Let me put it in the camera for you so you can see.

That's 30 inches, boy.
That's 30 inches.
What is it?
He he he.
That's half of that.
He he he.
Hey, I don't know about y'all.
I have to waste my time on one of you.
Hey Joe, I took a nap today, Joe.
Yeah, I tell.
I took a nap today, so.
You must be had something to drink.
You could out, you could out, you could out bitch me.
I ain't drink nothing but this Avion.
You ish, it's spiked with something.
Guys, Tyreek Hill runs a 10-1-5 to win the 100 meters of the last chance sprint series.
Joe, take a look at this.
What are you the cop?
Oh, I love boy.
I'm the new bottom squad, Benjamin love one. I mean, you know, one of the ball.
And then and play.
Yeah.
Right.
Who was that? Who was that?
Okay. Mr. Reap.
Who's that? He's racing against
you.
It's called 100 meters at the last
chance sprint series. That boy got some
wheels on it, man
Yeah, you gotta understand Tyreek is still heavy for a sprinter in order for Tyreek to be a like a legit sprinter
Tyreek needs to be somewhere between
150 and 165
Tyreek weighs about 185
Tyreek but Tyreek big yes
Yeah, you know no allows, Noah Lyle's weigh like 160, 165 tops. Yeah.
I don't know if you ever seen them, but they, especially, they are, they are small.
Very small.
Tyree got too much muscle.
Yeah, you know.
And he said it, Ocho, he said he got too muscle bound.
He dropped, he said he dropped like a T and he so he's like
185 that's it and look and
People like well, they got high school guys running, but you got to realize
Tariq is not especially in track Tariq is a football player
He's a football player
So let me ask you a question
How many of those guys in high school that could that run-1 or 9-9-2 can run a stop route,
to run a speed out, to run a dig,
to run an over, to run a comeback?
See, you take anybody that can do something
that they don't normally do and do it at an elite level,
I take my hat off.
Yeah.
I take my hat off.
You know, if Ant-Man come out there and he ran a comeback and he
run like damn that boy, that pretty good for a guy that ain't ran around in seven
to eight years, Tyree don't really Tyree trains to be a football player.
Now those guys that run that nine nine two, how many of them going to go
across the mill and catch that ball?
They, they have alligator arms. Those guys that run that nine nine two, how many of them gonna go across the mill and catch that ball?
They didn't have alligator arms.
I see like, I see guys.
I've seen guys faster than that.
As we know, don't be on my, what it's like to catch a football.
He ran that shallow cross.
It was a, it was, it was zone.
He went right back to trap. Google it.
I remember he was fast as hell.
Hold on.
Did y'all see the dude Speed and
Ashton Holmes?
Yeah.
Speed ain't beating Tyreek.
The one thing Tyreek got is
Get Out.
He ain't beat him in a fourth
He ain't in a 40 Tyreek really might beat no allows. He can't beat him in a hundred. No, no 40. Yeah
But look no allows strength is the back half of the race any yes
I guess he legit he's turned himself into a hundred meter runner, but he's he's a 200 meter brother
That's why you saying was so good you saying both was a hundred meter runner, but he's a 200 meter runner. That's why Usain was so good.
Usain Bolt was a 200 meter runner.
So he got strength.
If he could ever get out there, if he could ever,
if he's even with you after 10 meters, bye.
It's a wrap.
Bye.
And so he's a long strider.
So once he gets unwound, oh man.
That's why I still believe had he run through the tape in Beijing in 2008, I still believe
that was, that would have been, that was, that was, that was, might've been nine five
five or below.
Yeah.
Cause you got to think about it.
The last 10 meters on Joe, he's doing this.
He's piling his chest sideways.
Yeah.
And he's still red his chest sideways. Yeah. And he still read sub nine seven.
Yeah.
And boy, he ran a time celebrating the last 10 meters that nobody in the history
has ever run running through the tape.
But Tyson gay and a Johann Blake, they got the second fastest times.
Nice.
Six at nine, six, nine. He ran nine, six, eightohan Blake, they got the second fastest times. Nine six. At nine six nine.
He ran nine six eight and celebrated the last 10 meters.
Yeah.
Now you're special, man.
You have something to watch too.
You got, I mean, it's always great to see somebody, see a professional
do what they do professionally.
Yeah.
I saw Michael Johnson run to 200 meters
and run to 400 meters at the Olympic trials
because in 96 the Olympic trials in Atlanta.
Yeah.
So I saw him break the world record
and I saw him run sub 44 into 400 meters.
To see them guys, to see them in their element,
just like to see Steph or LeBron or Luca,
to see somebody-
What is that training like for something like that?
Yeah.
It's hell.
Yeah.
We don't want no part of that.
Cause they run it, cause they run it because,
see the thing with Michael was very unique.
Michael like, he had it like, okay, my goal is
he wanted to have both world records.
But he knew he couldn't break them at the simultaneously.
So he focused on one, he went and got the two.
So he got the 200 record,
and so now he set his sight on the 400.
Because Lee Evans, Lee Evans' dad, Lee Evans Sr.
had the world record, he ran that in Mexico City above altitude in 1968.
The record held until Butch Reynolds broke it.
He ran 43, I think Butch ran 43, 29, 43, 27.
And then Michael broke it at the world championships
in 1999 in Seville at 43, 18.
And then Wade Van Niekert broke it in the Olympics
in 2016 in Rio
He ran 43. Yeah, I'm asking because I know both of y'all ran track, right?
That's the idea. No, no, no, no, I ran track. He didn't run no track. I ran track
Okay, do what?
Play soccer, you know soccer's my love man. I know track. I read my. I ran track. My daughter run track. That's why when you asked about what the track training like,
explaining how you watch it. It's hell Joe. Especially if like for 400 meters they run a lot
of they run a lot of 600 meters. Yeah. They do I mean they run a lot of six. 400 meters.
See the thing what Michael had is that Michael had 400 meters so when he
dropped down to 200 he had the speed.
So but when he go to 400 he had this turnover so he could, so Michael could run it any kind
of way you wanted to.
His style was very unique.
You might not ever see that again.
A guy that could run sub, I mean he could run sub 44 and run sub 20.
He ran 1932 from lane three.
Now put him out in there,
cause if you go back and look at it now,
look at it all the fast times in the 200,
they come from lanes five, six or seven.
If he'd have been out there,
cause we used to think middle of the track
was the best lane three, four, five.
Now it's like five, six, seven.
But that endurance that work that they put in, Joe is rigorous.
Right.
Cause when I, when we run, we would run, we would run 21 10 Joe, you had 14 seconds
to make it and then you get 45 seconds rest.
Yes.
Yep.
Yeah.
And I didn't see my daughter run them two fifties. Yeah. Yeah. And I didn't see him.
A daughter run them two fifties.
Yeah.
We read a lot of two hundreds.
We run two hundreds.
We have you run two hundreds.
We have 32.
So we like 32 seconds and then we walk back across and then we take off again.
So we run 20 of those.
We run 15, one fifties.
Oh, then, um, jumbo day was Friday.
So we run three, 400s, three, 300s, three, 200s, three, 150s.
And you had to make all the hun- you had to make the 400s in under a minute.
So you couldn't, you had to run at least a minute.
And then when you do the 400, you get to walk that one lap.
And when you get back to the, when you get back to the top, you start.
But you can only take, you only got four minutes though, Joe.
Yeah, I did.
So you ain't no take no 10 minutes. You had four minutes to recover. That was your recovery time.
See, I ran the 400 in high school. That wasn't my event, but I ran it.
But, so it was cool for me. I could easily make a minute, no strain whatsoever.
Well let's do it right now. Race me in the 400, man. Race me in the 400, huh?
You want to base a band with artificial heel?
I ain't trying to hear you. Oh, excuse me. You got an excuse?
You got an excuse? Race me in the 400.
You retired after I stopped running.
I ain't trying to hear all that. Race me in the 400.
See, now you want to take advantage of a man that got no real hands.
Man, listen, man.
Hey, handicap or not, everybody can get it.
What bet $5,900.
What?
No, we got $5,900.
We got triple.
We got like, we got like salary bet on this bench press.

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.
Listen to Good Company on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts. DAK has a 2-5 postseason record and has never advanced past the Divisional round despite
being the number one seed in 2016.
The franchise won its last championship in 1995.

I want to win a championship.
The legacy, whatever comes after I finish playing,

that don't mean it's gonna carry over.
You gonna do the exact same thing the next year.
Oh, I think- It's been carried over for y'all.
Y'all been clucking off for the last 30 years, yo.
Come on, you gotta cheer now.
Come on now.
Come on now.
Hey, and he was looking at Jai Alexander, Ocho.
What?
So they gonna have Keyon on one side, Jai Alexander,
and then Cooper DeGene in the slot?
Mm-hmm.
And guess what?
There been some rumblings that Washington's
trying to get TJ White from the Steelers.
What? Oh my God. There have been some rumblings that Washington's trying to get T.J. White from Steelers.
What?
Oh my God.
The Eagles won him, but Washington and the Eagles.
Mm-mm-mm.
Hey man, hey Howie, man I salute you man.
I salute you man. That's, man, I salute you, man.
That's, that's, that's ownership.
That'd be crazy.
Yeah, why don't you say give him up, though?
Who, who, who?
He want, I mean, TJ, TJ want, he want that,
what you call him, he want that Miles Garrett.
He want that, he want that to Marc Chase.
Why the steeler want to pay him?
Man, the steelerers cheap, man.
They not cheap, but, you know, they don't.
After like a couple of contracts,
they ain't really trying to play nobody
but the quarterback.
Yeah.
How old is TJ Nadeau, huh?
TJ about 31?
Yeah.
But the man, he gave you 11 and a half slacks.
You know how to business work?
I do.
I absolutely know how to. work? I do I absolutely
He's 30 he'll be 31 this year, I hope he don't go to Washington
Where you a the Eagles are the Eagles are trying on you need to go neither one of them
Hey, if he go to the Eagles on that it's's over. Oh man, that's not fair, man.
It's over.
That's not fair.
Could nobody do nothing with that front fold last year.
Now you add TJ Watt over there and Philly like, come on man.
With Carter collapsing the pocket inside
and him on the edge.
I plan.
No.
Yeah, that'd be, ooh. Now I can see him. Yeah. That, that, that, that, that, that'd be, Ooh.
Now I can, I can see him. I can see him over, over in Washington now, especially, especially right before
they haven't had to pay Jayden Danes yet.
They got the money to do so.
They need, they, they need to take care of Terry McLaurin first.
Then you can think about brother TJ what?
Man, TJ, man, they need to go and pay that man in money going to give him going to give him Thirty-six going to give him eighty million dollars to sign
Yeah, I don't know why you even want to lose a guy like that
Cuz they oh Joe if you really think about it. They really pay nobody but DK
Who else they paying?
on Nobody but DK Who else they paying? on
Can't record about your quarterback can't make it but 10 million with makeup to 20 million. He's like over 20 million
Ain't nobody really making no money, but him. That's why I don't make no sense to me. Oh
No, I mean that was a good I mean he make it 28 million
He probably like 10th or 11th on highest paid.
Right.
And he wanted, he wanted the two or three best outside linebackers when you talk about
him and Micah.
Yeah, and Miles, yeah.
What Miles got?
What happened?
See, I look at this.
Now they got, they got, they got, they got OLB, they got Rush-Ins.
It used to be either you were in
or you were an outside backer, Ocho.
Now they got rush in, they got off, so.
Now hold on, now you know,
depending on the definitive definition of your position,
it does change the money, you know that, right?
Yeah. Okay.
All these things, I got a defensive player of the year,
I've led the league in sacks numerous times.
Yes, sir.
Break me off.
That's it.
That's it.
Simple as that, and if you don't want to,
South Carolina quarterback, Lenoris Sellers,
turned down an $8 million NIL
to transfer to a different school.
Lenoris' father told his son,
you're 19, you don't need $8 million,
you're in a great spot.
Let me ask you this, Bunn.
Do you think NIL is ruining college players
because some are prioritizing the bag over a great situation?
I think it's a blessing and a curse, right?
You know, like I know a lot of these young players,
predominantly from communities of color,
this has always been a pathway to success,
to change the scope of how your family dynamic exists,
to change things from check to check to generational wealth.
And the draw to go and play in the NFL
was what drove people, for the most part,
through high school, through college,
to try to get to that big payoff.
Well, with NIL being inserted now,
it's a blessing because kids don't have to wait that long.
And you know, like I know that's a very,
it's a very small number that gets into the NFL
and even smaller, they get that big deal out the door
and gets that money.
And so the opportunity to take care of your family
and to set those things straight earlier
is obviously a great thing for people to have.
But you know, like I know when some people get their check,
they stop giving a damn.
It really can stop the drive for people because,
be like, oh man, I just signed this big check five years
and you know, $180 million and all that.
Yeah.
But now you're the face of the organization.
Now you're the biggest cultural export from the city that you play for.
They're a whole, the dynamic for all this shit starts changing when that money
comes, you know what I'm saying?
If a college players that potentially might not make it into the NFL and there's
a substantial number of those people,
even if they get NIL, Shannon,
we know it's only gonna be four or five people
that get real money.
There's only, and I think that's something
that we don't talk about enough
when it comes to NIL college athlete gameplay,
is that, yeah, there's a lot of money
that gets inflicted into these universities,
and there's a lot of money that's available,
but that's gonna go to skill player. You, but that's gonna go to skill player.
That's gonna go to skill player.
Quarterback, running back, wire receiver.
Absolutely, people that put numbers on the board.
That's who, or the sack master, right?
Something like that, you know, Bass Russia, guy like that.
So, if you can get that money, that's fine.
Everybody gets money doesn't stop being driven.
But if money's the deciding factor,
the determining factor, then yeah,
that could be something that would stop somebody
from wanting to go further.
And yeah, if you can get the money
and you don't have to go to NFL and risk your body
and risk that pain and you got a plan to do something
with that money, I think it can work for you.
I think it works to your benefit.
But if you think hopping through the portal
from school to school is gonna increase your value,
you got another thing coming.
That's not gonna work for everybody.
Like if you got a situation where, you know,
you know there's money waiting for you, that's fine.
And if you think you're taking that money now and it doesn't help you, that's the other side.
Let me be clear about that.
If you think a university wants to pay you
to come and play for that school,
but you don't think they're contenders
and you don't think it's gonna look good on you,
on your record, to play for a school
that doesn't really have a good chance at winning anything, then I don't see how you get to the next check.
If that's all you worried about is that check, you know?
So it's a lot for families to navigate.
I've seen players whose parents are, you know, they right now, like the high
school parents are like, no, my boy's finna go to this guy.
It don't matter what college you go to.
They're going to cut him a check.
They're like, parents are actually saying that.
They're saying that right now.
So, you know, I wish the brother the best,
but I think the portal works for probably 10% of the people.
I think 10% of people, the portal actually puts you,
and it's like like you have a skill
set that can work almost anywhere, but this school will nurture your talent. They will put the right
type of talent next to you and you will learn and play and look like you want to to go to that next
level. But I just think that's a very small group of people. And I think a lot of people are being
told that there's a lot of money. And let's be real, they can't, a lot of people are being told that there's a lot of money and let's be real They can't a lot of universities can't even pay you with this ending on rate
We're not even talking about that. I mean how many college students are sitting on campus with no money
Because the coach went over that told you your mom and your grandmother then what they was don't give you and then you get there
And and boosters with somebody else like now that money's advocated for the boy. We got coming from over here
there and, and boosts is somebody else like, no, that money's advocated for the ball we got coming from over here.
So it's, it's a NFL version of this topic.
Jalen hurts was concerned for his teammates after signing the biggest
deal in NFL history.
Don't screw the team.
Make sure my team is around.
He told his agent, how am I going to keep my team around?
How are these guys still going to be paid?
Nicole Lynn is his agent
I think he's one of the handful of guys that have a a woman as an agent. She's a VP
I think she's a really high-ranking official at clutch sports the rich Paul agency that he started
Very fortunate to meet her and her some girlfriends at the fight. So I had a great conversation with her
enough to meet her and her some girlfriends at the fight. So I had a great conversation with her.
But you see, he's like, yeah, the highest paid.
What good is the highest paid if we can't win?
Cause I'm trying to win championships and I know the team that I have around me
because they're going to want paydays too.
So I'm willing to take a little less and be able to keep X, Y, and Z and PQ around
as opposed to taking all this money and only be able to keep one, Y, and Z and P, Q around, as opposed to taking all this money
and only be able to keep one or two of those guys around.
You see his offensive line?
Still intact.
They were able to do something with Saquon.
They now, they re-signed Brown,
they re-signed Devontae Smith.
He understands he's not bigger than the program.
You know what I'm saying?
He understands that, yes, we're successful
and I may be the person that everybody focuses on
because of the position I play,
but anybody that understands this game,
know I get nowhere if we don't keep this O-line intact.
And the real money is in repetition,
being competitive, repetitiously, right?
Being a contending organization.
Year after year after year.
And the only way to do that is to keep people.
And you know, we've seen it done.
We've seen, you know, in the Patriots,
that was part of the structure.
That Tom was like, yo, you know, give me all that money.
I need this man, I need that guy,
and I need those people here.
You know what I'm saying?
Because Jalen understands as the
face of the organization, as the quarterback of the organization, I can
get that money. We can go get that money through sponsorship deals and sneaker
deals and all of this stuff. The face of a Super Bowl award-winning
team is not hurting for money. He's not hurting for opportunities for money. He's seen what that check was before that chip
for everything.
And what that check is now post chip.
So we want more money, we got to win more chips.
If I want to have more money
and be a bigger force in this game,
I've got to win more championships.
And in order to do that,
there are certain pieces that have to
Remain and if and if I got to take 20 million dollars off of here to get 50 added later down there
Let's run with it. I'm with that all day. Yep
That's the only way the NFL is great at that because the NFL knows I mean, you know what to generate new revenue
We've got to have new eyeballs
knows, you know what, to generate new revenue, we've got to have new eyeballs. So we got to go, we got to find like, hey, I've got to be a part of this.
So Jalen says, you know what, hey, I won another championship.
People are going to say, advertisers, sponsors are going to say, man, I need a piece of him.
I need him to represent my product.
I need him to represent my brand.
I need to attach my brand to Jalen Hurts.
Absolutely.
Shout out to that brother too, because I believe he got married this weekend.
He did.
Congratulations.
I wish he would have called.
I would have catered them burgers.
I'm right here in Houston.
I could have catered them burgers.
Can I thank you for that?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
But we are very proud of that brother.
Hey, found one early when he didn't have a whole lot.
Now he's got a lot.
She's locked step with him, I love that.
Congratulations, Hertz.
Darren Waller says he decided to retire
after the Giants made him play fullback against the Bills.
I sit down on the sideline after the drive
where we ran it like three times.
I'm like, what the bleep am I doing with my life?
I'm out here playing fullback?
I don't even wanna do this issue anymore.
Was that cause he was forced into that position?
Yep.
Now, and you telling me no one else wanted him to play him at his natural
position at that point, or was he just out of that team and that situation
frustrating him so much against the direction of the game that he just
didn't want to play anymore?
That's what it seems like because it's hard for me to believe
that the guy is talented as he was,
but I think it has more to do with that he didn't,
I don't think at that point in time
he really loved the game anymore.
So it's easy to start,
it's easy to depart something when you don't love it.
Now, if you have a good,
there are very few times a boy,
you leave something with us, a party,
it's a concert, it's an event's an event is church if you're having
a good time you're more you're less likely to leave now if you bored you're like man
that is here for the birds if you in church you throw that hand up a boy you know you get that you
you put that digging ass hand up i'm saying like this and you ever you ever got ready to go
somewhere that you know was goingna be the turn up?
They did like, all right, now look,
we gonna go in here, we'll have one drink,
gonna say hi to everybody.
I wanna be outta here by midnight, right?
And then you look at your wife, it's two in the morning,
and you just ordered three more bottles.
But you know what, bud?
I've also been in a situation where I got dressed,
and I'm like, man, why am I going?
I already know it's gonna be some bull jive
and take my clothes right off.
I don't go to award shows really anymore.
Me and my wife went to one, we was clean.
I went and bought me a Brioni suit, six racks.
She had Versace, he had to tell me.
I was clean.
He had that for you.
You heard that man, he said, get out.
I'm finna do that.
I was like, this award, I'm nominated.
I wanna pop out. Come on, baby,'m finna do that. I was like, this award, I'm nominated. I wanna pop out.
Come on, baby, we finna pop out.
Man, we had them tight ass shoes on
and we ended up in line behind Mary J. Blige
on the red carpet.
Man, we took some big, we left.
And as a couple, we haven't been to an award show yet,
I've said it.
Like, it's too much, man.
It is too much.
Yeah, I think, but I think the crux of this,
I think he had kind of fallen out of love
with the game of football.
And now I'm looking,
but you know how sometimes you can look for a reason
not to do something?
Oh, you know what?
That's it right there.
So him playing full back for
three plays in one ride. You know, we put him over the edge.
There was a time, and I wasn't proud of it, there was a time when UGK would tour. And
when you're an artist and you tour, you put together what's known as a rider. And a rider
is everything that you want ready for you when you arrive in the city.
It's typically what you want for your dressing room.
But it also extends into the sound equipment,
what kind of board we're sending the sound through,
what kind of speakers, you know what I'm saying?
What does all of this look like?
And there was a time where we had an airtight rider.
And Chad's whole thing was every now and Every night in we book a show where he knew they weren't gonna have everything on the rider
And it's a deal breaker like if contractually if I go to you city you book me for a show and I said
I need a through Z on there and you forget H L and W I
Can not perform and still get paid?
So then yes, you're right was a time where people like,
oh man, I know they ain't gonna have it tonight.
I know they not gonna have this, this and that.
They don't even know how to find that type of equipment.
So I know they not gonna have this tonight.
And I try to get with the sound man.
I tell him, bro, you got to spend a little bit more money
because you don't spend a little bit more money, bro.
You gonna lose a lot of money.
Because you got people that like you say, they looking
for an excuse to go home.
And let me ask you this, like, why would a football player?
I'm sure it's got to be several things.
Why would if that wasn't enough to really be to make a man want to quit the game?
What would it be that would have frustrated Darren Wallets and not want to play?
This is the guy that I used to draft on my fantasy football team all the time
The man was bound to do numbers. He was a good player. Is it not being paid properly? Do you feel you're not being paid?
No, he was played. He's one of the highest players with Bung. Think about it
When he was motivated because he has some off-the-field issues. He did everything
He sacrificed got his life in order to get back into the league because he had a desire
to get in the league.
At that point in time, he no longer had a desire to stay in the league.
And like you said, if I'm looking for a reason, I promise you, if I'm looking for a reason
not to go somewhere, not to do something, I can find one.
You're very true. That's very true. That's very true.
That's very true.
I'm 52 now, I'm far.
I look for a reason to stay on this over.
In my drawers and watch TV.
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 Angélique 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, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Noah Lyles has canceled his race against Tyreek Hill in Times Square due to personal reasons. Cheetah ran 1 500 meters last week and troll lives with a response
Response to Noah's Tyree could never signed after he ran the 60 meters in February Noah could never I don't understand
There's no allow situation of protesting so much in public
so much in public.
I don't get it. I don't get it.
I guess, you know what?
I've never, there's got to be some new shit
with the internet age.
I've never seen Olympic champions compare themselves
to basketball players and all of that.
It's no less prestigious.
Let's be very clear because, you know.
But we only see you once every four years.
It's not some of the best basketball players to ever play this game.
Never got a shoe.
They never got a shoe.
They never picked out as one of the people that we want to put on a pedestal
and parade through the press and all of this as a representative of that.
Even if you were that, look at the person
that's been the biggest, highest level of representation
in the space that you're in.
Even when they got his shoe, it was because of culture
more than anything.
When you say Bolt got his shoe,
it wasn't just because he was the fastest man in the world.
Right?
It was a cultural thing.
He carried his country on his back.
You know what I'm saying?
He had a larger-than-life personality.
And he was winning by seconds.
Right? Like, not these tight.800s.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There was no...
No, no, not at all.
He clearly dominated.
Sha'Carri clearly dominated.
You know what I'm saying?
Those people that get those shoes with,
they're not question marks.
And if you went around and asked people
who's the fastest man in the world,
a lot of them will probably still think you saying both.
Cause they're not tied into that.
They would all, they're gonna, if you ask,
you're not, first of all,
you're not even the face of track and field, bro.
No. Like, let's start...
No, what you call...
Let's start there.
Well, Sidney McLachlan LeBron.
Right, so if you're not even that dude in your space,
why are you comparing yourself to people who are certifiably that dude in their space?
Bro, calm down.
But, Bun, when the last time you saw somebody with track spikes at the mall?
I ain't seen nobody else. I seen old people at the track.
It's not America's pastime.
No it's not. You wait.
It's not a pastime.
You behind NASCAR, you behind NASCAR. First of all it's football, basketball, baseball, NASCAR, first of all, it's football and basketball and baseball
and NASCAR and women's soccer.
You way down the list, bro.
And it's something, look, more now,
and you see what they've done
is that they have the Olympics every four years
and now they're having the world championships.
So people are following a little more.
But bro, he's gotta stop this hating on basketball players and say, well, they won't give me this.
I mean, you gotta go back.
Really, only two guys I can think of
has ever really had a shoe,
and you really had to follow Track and Field to know
that's Michael Johnson and Usain Bolt.
But you're talking about two of the greatest Olympians
in the history of Track and Field.
Michael Johnson was an anomaly in Track and Field. Like, it wasn't even a question. Like, that was one of the surest it in track and field. Michael Johnson was an anomaly in track and field.
Like it wasn't even a question.
Like that was one of the surest bets in sports
for years, bro.
Years, he literally brought that sport
to the forefront of America because of how dominant he was.
You're not that guy in track and field, bro.
Like track and field, I just wanna be clear, no disrespect to track and field, bro. Like track and field, I just want to be clear,
no disrespect to track and field athletes.
That ain't never been the pre-Madonnas of sports.
That's never been the preeminent athletes.
Look what Jesse Owens had to do.
Jesse Owens had to come back.
He won three gold medals.
He came back and had to race horses.
This fascination, because there's so many other things.
You got baseball, you got football, you got basketball.
In Jamaica, what are the, I'm trying to think,
Jamaica you got track and field.
Track and field and I have soccer.
That's the big thing you got in Jamaica.
They don't play football.
They don't play, they don't do tennis.
Cricket, yeah.
That's a big thing, is cricket. But I'm saying though, but Noah, They play football. They don't play. They don't do tennis. Cricket.
Yeah, that's a big thing.
It's cricket.
But I'm saying though, but you know,
Noah is in a, he's in a niche sport.
I don't understand.
I don't understand why he feels now,
all of a sudden that a track and field star
is on the same level.
Like, it's no disrespect to the athleticism, right? We can't
disrespect the athleticism of any Olympic athletes. We all understand what it takes to become who that
brother has become. Yes. Your beef ain't with athletes, bro. Your beef is with shoe companies.
With track and field corporations. Nobody's going to invest in a shoe
that people are going to buy.
Why they buy track shoes?
One, because track shoes are only meant to be worn on court.
And the track shoe is only makes you faster on the track.
Court, the track.
That's the only place that apply.
So a basketball player, yes, they will get shoes
because people will buy their shoes,
put them on and go fucking play basketball.
And guess what else they'll do?
They'll walk in the street, you see them in the mall.
They'll go to events and shoot you.
Because shoes are just not for...
Basketball shoes are just their fashion statement.
Now, you see guys at red carpet events.
You see guys at awards shows.
You see guys wearing sneakers.
Yeah, that's the new thing is Tennyson Tucks.
Tennyson Tucks, that's the new thing.
Yes.
But now he, he, he.
Yes, but he started this long ago, too, bud.
And I didn't like it, talking about,
he's a world champion of what, the USA?
Bro, come on, man.
I think he trolling us, bro.
I think he trolling us.
I think he trolling us, because you can think he trolling us. I think he trolling us,
because you can't possibly believe
that this is something that people are,
that there's a popular opinion that you're right.
That, yeah, you know what, he should be this.
No, no, I don't believe that.
I believe other track people saying,
shut up, boy, you finna fuck this up for everybody else.
Exactly, exactly.
And, bro, you're not Usain,
because Usain was Because Usain...
Usain was universally loved everywhere.
In China, in Jamaica, in America.
Because he was a winner. He was a winner.
And, like you say, not this photo finished.
He was transcendent.
This man was... He was transcendent.
We're gonna be talking about Usain Bolt.
Fifty years from now.
We're gonna argue about how much faster he could have run in certain races because
he slowed down.
Had he not, I go to my grave believing, had he not celebrated the last 10, 12 meters at
Beijing when he turned sideways and he's pounding his head, he runs faster than not finally.
I believe that.
I don't think he felt the need
to run faster in those conversations.
He was so happy.
He was daylights ahead of people.
And still nobody's ever run faster than he ran there.
And he celebrated the last 10 meters.
Crazy.
Crazy. No, go sit down, bro.
Sit down, bro.
You're in time, man.
You're in time, man.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, you effing it up for everybody?
Yeah.
Hey, hey, Sidney McLaughlin and LeBron say,
I don't feel that way.
Rob Benjamin say, I don't feel that way.
I like...
Quincy Hall. I like where I'm at on this right now.
Well, if that's the case, hold on. If that's the case, hell.
Michael Phelps should've got a shoe.
Simone Biles should get a shoe.
If we throwing out shoes, this is true.
Cause they're more accomplished than you in this sport.
They're Olympic champions, they're more accomplished than you.
Yes!
And they didn't get a shoe.
So Sydney, Sydney is a two time Olympic champ.
She's the world record holder.
She's a what?
A two or three time, I mean, she skipped
the last world championships. She's a two or holder. She's a what? A two or three time, I mean she skipped the last world championships.
She's a two or three time world champion.
She's the most dominant 400 meter hurdle.
She might be one of the most versatile women
in track and field history.
No, you haven't even won the gold medal
in your signature event.
And see, and what Michael did,
what really put Michael on the map
is when
the Olympics was in where Atlanta he had the gold shoes on he doubled the 400 and
the 200 it's never been done I mean the women Valerie Briscoe hooks get in 84
people don't realize she was the first to do it and And then Jose Jose Marie, she did it. The French one, she doubled up into two
and the four. No, bro, you fight me about it. I don't want people to say I think he's phenomenal.
I think he's phenomenal. He's he's great. But bro, just run, get the meat money. The
details what they pay you, you break a record, or
you win the diamond leagues, or you win the U.S., or you win the trials, you win the worlds.
Just go all villain.
At this point, just go all villain.
Right?
Like, you got to explore Mayweather and be the bad guy.
And try to get, for people to pay to watch you lose.
That kind of a thing.
But he about to go get a mask. I'm gonna come out there with cowboy boots
and black leather trench coat
and I'm gonna have a toy gun on my side.
If you say you're gonna go villain, just go home.
I'm gonna go race at raise our show speed then I talk
You want to raise I don't know if you want to raise somebody you want to pull my face He is that go go be seen right now
But you do realize that if he were to race speed of Tyreek
It'll get more views than if he what he wasn't in the world in the question, more people would care. And that's the problem.
Like we don't even.
Because track and field is really,
we care about what we care about the Olympics.
That's every four years.
Just imagine, and you can't,
even when they have diamond league meets,
you can't watch them unless you go on the internet,
unless you go on your computer
and pull them up and flow track.
Shout out to flow track for trying to advertise,
trying to showcase.
But bro, I'm just keeping a stack.
We wouldn't even be talking about this man
if he wasn't trolling us.
Like I think this is all a troll to get his name
in a national conversation one way or another.
Some people don't know the difference
between famous and infamous, Shannon.
They don't know the difference.
Sometimes they say any news is good news.
Make it work.
Somebody elbow, but in football,
I can make it look like a football play,
and I'm really intentionally trying
to get you up out of there.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm saying even from watching,
when I see like a pow, right, a pow,
I feel like you can cheap shot in that
when you in that little pow right there.
Finger right through the face, face man right in his eye
Hey somebody hand down there you get up step right on his hand
The all that way yeah, oh yeah, you get a back
Yeah, and and when I when I was in the league they don't you can't do it now the blindside block the crack back
Hmm. Oh I'm trying to get you up out your helmet.
I'm trying to put my helmet right here.
They ain't playing no more.
They don't want to let you do that.
They'll fire the hell out you if you do that.
First of all, they gonna throw a pill at me.
And then you gonna get that FedEx letter
and you lock on Wednesday.
Absolutely.
Oh, they gonna get you.
Ravens signed veteran quarterback,
Jahir Alexander to a one-year deal worth four million.
That could pay up to six million after incentives.
Alexander reportedly had offers for more money elsewhere,
per Adam Schefter, but the opportunity to play
with his former college teammate, Lamar Jackson,
was too much to pass up, especially after Lamar pushed hard for Alexander to side with Baltimore earlier
this week. So now they have Jahir Alexander, Pro Bowler, Marlon Humphrey, Pro
Bowler, Nate Wiggins, first-round draft pick, Kyle Hamilton, one of the
Premier Safeties, all Pro, And Malik starts Malachi.
Is that, is that, Malachi?
Malachi starts with the rookie.
Hey Raven's going for it this year, huh?
Absolutely.
They ain't got no choice.
Nope.
They ain't got no choice, they got zero.
Look, they already know they gonna get great contribution
from Lamar and Derrick Henry.
Yep. And add some of them blue collar workers around them, them
guys who can defend.
I think that's what they're looking for.
They gave Derrick Henry, they made him the third highest paid running back.
Then you signed Rashad Bateman to a long-term deal.
Lamar is in line to get an extension. He's
gonna get, you know, money. You got Zay Flowers who was phenomenal last year, made
the Pro Bowl, but he got hurt that last game. He ended up missing the playoffs and
not defensively. You got Ro Kwan Smith who's one of the better middle linebackers.
You got Marlon Humphrey who's tremendous at the slot. Jahir, if he can stay healthy,
that's been his issue the last several years in Green Bay, he couldn't stay healthy.
And you know, them trying to push him to get on the field, he's like, I'm not healthy. When I'm out there, I'm looking bad.
So I put bad tape out there. So he's like, we knew it was just going to eventually, it was going to end with them.
But I like, I like this move. They're one of the better teams now from top to bottom offensive defense.
We know what they represent offensively with Lamar,
who's always gonna be in the MVP discussion.
Derrick Henry, one of the two best backs in football.
Top three, him, Christian McCaffrey and Saquon.
Now Lamar is gonna have to do it.
I just need to be Lamar, to be Lamar in the postseason that we see in the regular season.
That's it.
I don't need him in a cape, but I just need him to be him in the postseason like he is
in the regular season.
And he does such a great job.
Go back and look at his stats.
Great job protecting the football, and for some ungodly reason.
And I don't know if he's putting too much pressure on himself,
but the turnovers happen.
Well, I think turnovers get you beat.
You know, in the postseason, things are a little different.
You know, teams get, ain't play a lot harder.
Even, even that, that defensive front, you know, knowing they got to get
after, get after the ball a lot more, you know, like in the regular season, you know, knowing they got to get after the ball a lot more.
You know, like in the regular season, you know,
Lamar's pretty much free league, he playing free.
You know, he's out there having fun,
running around, throwing touchdowns.
And the postseason, man, it's a lot different.
It's a lot different in the postseason
in basketball and football.
And, you know, for like you say,
for whatever reason, them turnovers
just been killing them in the postseason. So I look forward to them, you know, learning like you say, for whatever reason, them turnovers just been killing them in the postseason.
So I look forward to them, you know,
learning from their mistakes.
And obviously, you know, this is, I mean,
it's a great chance for them to, you know,
finally get them where.
You know, the thing is, Joe, what I tell people,
the thing that people talk about, love about football,
is that you guys, if you play a series sport,
football, hockey, excuse me, basketball, hockey, baseball,
which means best two out of three, three out of five, four out of seven.
And if you get to that final game and the series is tied to two or the
series is tied, you know, whatever the case may be, uh, three, three, and
we need the final game in the NFL.
Every football game was a game seven and you dealing with the finality of it.
Seeing the regular season.
Okay.
Hey guys, we're going to flush that one.
We're going to move past that one.
XYZ is on to the next, but there is no tomorrow when you play football in the
postseason tomorrow is next year.
Yeah.
And you go in and you're going to get your stuff.
And if you don't lose that game, they're going to give you a, a, a hefty bag and you're going to put your stuff in there and you're going to get your stuff and if you don't lose that game, they're going to give you a hefty bag and you're going to put your stuff in there, you're going to clean
out your locker and you're going to go talk to the general manager, you're going to talk
to the head coach, you're going to get a clean bill of health from the trainers, how you
feel, anything, blah, blah, blah.
If you're going to have surgery, you're going to sit you up for the surgery, it's over.
And I think, and Lamar is, like I said, it's the, and I think he just puts so much onus on himself.
He's like, man, I gotta do it, I gotta do it.
And he has the team around him
that can do more than this year.
You gotta, he gotta be great almost every,
not almost, but every night, especially in the post-seasons.
Like you said, there's no tomorrow.
If he just holds on to the, if he just like, the turnovers,
I don't need him to throw for 300, I don't need him to throw for 300.
I don't need him to rush for 100.
But even if you throw for 300 and you turn the ball over twice,
he's probably going to get you.
Because especially the further you go,
because the farther you go in the postseason, the better the teams are.
Yeah.
And you pay double for turnovers in the postseason.
That pressure build up.
That pressure builds up because you know it ain't no tomorrow
you go out there making them mistakes.
Yeah.
But looking at this secondary,
this secondary is good.
I mean, it's very comparable to what they got in,
what they got in,
in Philly.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
They gonna be able to compete with the best.
Yeah.
They gonna be able to compete with the best.
It's gonna be a fun one.

Cornerback Trayvon Diggs said that the Cowboys will win the Super Bowl this season. This will be our year Joe

Yeah, just came back from ACL.
I think he'll be all right now.
That'd be a good year, some change removed from that.
Yeah, but he was aiming for week one,
but it was significant damage though.
So, he's aiming for week one.
The Norman Cowboys do a great job of
kind of airing on the side of caution. Man, before he got that injury, before he
got that first injury, he was special. He in the face of the family got Joe.
He gonna get you now if you don't double move it and you just let him sit back, oh
he gonna get you now. And because he went to college as a wide receiver
