Sometimes as dads, I think we're too hard on ourselves.
We get down on ourselves on not being able to, you know, we're the providers, but we
also have to learn to take care of ourselves.
A wrap away, you got to pray for yourself as well as for everybody else, but never forget
yourself.
Self-love made me a better dad because I realized my worth.
Never stop being a dad.
That's dedication.

Yeah.
Man, you know, it's been a minute.
We've been trying to link up for a minute, man.
Oh, really, I know.
Here we are. Here we are now. So let's get straight to it. You know, it's been a minute. We've been trying to link up for a minute man. All right, I know here we are
Here we are now. So let's let's get straight to it You know, we both East Texas babies at the end of the day you come out of Palestine, Texas, bro
And I remember in high school just you know, I always kept her hand with some guy over there in Palestine showing ass
I always kept her in a piece of a piece of Peterson, bro
And go let's talk about it man. Like when did you know APB Rio, bro?
Like when did you know that you were special?
Man, honestly, at a young age, man,
like playing little league football,
growing up in East Texas, man.
You know, you played backyard football all the time.
That's what we did back in the day, right?
But once I got into that organized football and was able to do that,
do the same things I was doing out there in the backyard and in a different
setting, you know, um, you know,
a setting that was more organized is playing football after football.
That's when I kind of knew, you know, after about a year, probably a year,
how I knew I was okay, if I can keep this up, you know, I can make
something happen. And you know, you played track, you ran track too. I mean, you know,
I know you was great in football. Yeah. See, a lot of people don't know that though, you know,
so people always ask me about the breakaway speed and all that. Now tell them, shoot, I ran track
too growing up. You know, I was, I made it to state my junior year, 10 to six and a hundred.
Yeah. Got second, I'll be Williams. That boy was moving, you know, but, uh,
he beat me in a hundred and a 200 my junior year. I ran 21, two, three, uh,
20, 20.8 was my PR and, um, and 200.
So he track was like my, like one beat, you know what I'm saying?
That was my second love. My sophomore year in high school actually almost,
when I had decided to stop playing ball, I was just going to focus on focus on the track,
you know, but my dad wasn't having that, you know, he was like, hey man, you gotta make
something happen. You gotta get back out there. That's what's up, man. Me, man, I was slow as fuck.
Shit, you told me?
No, I was running on 11-8-C.
Jesus.
11-8-C, track hell, no.
I was, I sort of just stuck with baseball, man.
I was pretty good in baseball, man.
Yeah, yeah, that's the one thing I hate.
I didn't get the chance to play, man.
Like, you know, growing up and like especially in Palestine
Baseball wasn't something that a lot of kids were really into or you know, a lot of black kids
It was track football
And that was that was that was pretty much it. You know, I'm saying you might get out there play a little soccer but
Baseball was like was like something foreign to us in the country you
know but looking back I wish I would have played too.
Aw man that's where the money at, goddamn baseball.
Exactly.
I told you the steps are on the other day.
Damn football, we playing baseball.
Exactly, I got my boys out there hitting and catching fly balls.
As you should but let's talk about it, East Texas boy, you go to Oklahoma, you know, you're freshman year, freshman year in Oklahoma,
man.
Let's talk about it, man.
What was that like for coming from Palestine all the way to Oklahoma and you're on campus
now, man, you're in a different environment, like you're away from home.
What was that like, man?
You know, I never forget getting dropped off.
I actually got dropped.
So I graduated on the Saturday from high school
and then that Sunday, my mom would drop me off
in Norman, Oklahoma, man.
Ironically, where my dad's house was located,
one of my neighbors,
him and his wife, they had like seven kids, the Magruder's.
And at this time, when I was getting ready to go up to Oklahoma, he was a junior, a junior
in college at Oklahoma.
He had transferred from Tennessee.
So I got dropped off that Sunday, I got dropped off at his house.
It was like family, you know, it was like family you know saying and
You know, so getting there, you know again dropped off getting dropped off there
And then he had this cat women his name was Clint Ingram from Longview, Texas
You know say another cat from East Texas. So it was it was really uh, you know, hey
Hey, the same bottom of my mom then you know and that. But I was excited about the new journey or whatnot.
But again, dropped off, it was just like, man, I'm here now.
I can finally embrace this new journey.
And so getting to get set up and, you know, going on campus with the guys.
And obviously they were showing me around, kind of, you know, giving me to fill up everything.
But the one thing that I had in my mind was going in and making a statement, you know what I'm saying?
So coming out of high school,
and I'm on a crew in the country,
my junior and senior year,
I knew it was a lot that they were expecting from me.
And not only that, it's always been my mentality
to go out and grind.
I've always had the talent and I've known that,
but the one thing that I have as well
that a lot of people don't have is that work ethic.
So even with having the talent,
I always say I'm not gonna let nobody outwork me.
So from day one, when we got out there, man,
for training and practice, I was on it.
You know what I'm saying?
Gashes.
I'm winning all the gashes.
I'm, I'm, I'm trying to live with the linemen.
You know what I'm saying?
I was always pushing myself, um, to, uh, just to make sure these boys know, knew
that I wasn't coming in to play.
And you wasn't even expected to start though, your freshman year in, okay.
I mean, who was the coach?
Bob Stoops?
Was Bob Stoops the coach?
Yeah, Bob Stoops was Bob Stoops the coach? Yeah Bob Stoops was there yeah he was there. So you you come in really still a kid really obviously
you still a kid you got a man's body but you still a kid and you you come in and you just I mean you
started getting compared to Eric Dickerson to Marcus Dupree as a freshman bro like I mean I mean you're
doing great you're doing your thing but now your popularity starting to rise
like in college like what was that like I knew you was the man on college now I
mean everybody looking at you different now you know it's a lot of expectations
on you now how did you deal with that Or who you had in your circle to keep you, you know, humble as you are and well grounded.
Who was that, man, to keep you grounded?
Yeah, so I had an uncle who went to the University of Texas.
And I think it was like 98 through those years, like those years with Ricky, Applewhite, Roy
Williams, all those guys, you know what I'm saying?
So I had a lot of opportunity to, you know, he stayed in my ear about just being focused
and staying on top of, you know, the grades and, you know, making sure I'm putting in
the work and all that.
And then having my parents, you know, in my corner, my mom was always there.
My dad, even though he was incarcerated, you know, he, you know, he, he, he made sure I
stayed on straight and narrow, you know, he, you know, he, he, he made sure I stayed on straight and
narrow, you know, and then I grew up with a big family, you know, so I got a lot of
brothers and cousins and stuff like that.
And for me, it was like, I'm doing it for them as well, you know?
So it always kept me and they coming from the country, you know, I can't, we, I
can't even let them, you know what I'm saying?
We came from nothing.
So, you know, being able to, you know, get to this platform that I had dreamed about at a young age, you know, I was going to do everything I could do to make sure I stayed, you know, handling my business and I was doing what I needed to do to accomplish that ultimate goal.
So, so you go through college, you handle your business, it's draft date, draft coming up, you hurt your shoulder. I think you had an injury with your shoulder.
You filed to like number seven, right?
Did that do anything to you mentally filing to number seven?
I know it's just seven, but did you want to go higher?
Did you want to go number one?
Yeah, in my mind, I felt like I was the best player in the draft.
So of course, that's where I wanted to go.
I wanted to go number one. but I kind of understood the situation, you know, my junior year.
So my freshman year had an incredible season, went to the national championship game, got
broke down by USC, unfortunately broke us down.
But the sophomore year, I ended up having an injury.
I sprained my ankle and
I was out for like six, seven weeks, man. You know, it really hurt me. And then I came
back my junior year and like week seven of the season, dove in the end zone, broke my
collarbone and I didn't come back and play again until we played Boise State in the Fiesta
Bowl. You know, so during time, I would kind of contemplate
what I was going to do.
Like, bam, had to hop the grade three,
hop Angle Spring, my sophomore year, miss eight games,
and then my collarbone.
Like, if I come back, it could be something
that can be really way more detrimental.
You know what I'm saying?
So I'm just like, you know what?
I'm gonna go ahead and shoot my shot,
and go and declare for the, you know, for the league.
So, you know, going in, you know, everything when I came back, it was supposed to be healed.
Right.
So I remember getting down to Arizona, API Academy down there, a lot of guys go train,
you know, me, Marsha, Demarcus Russell, Brady Quinn, like we were all down there, right?
And Patrick Willis.
And we was working out for about two weeks, man.
And I just, my shoulder, it was just, it just kept bothering me.
But I was big pressing, doing everything that I needed to do
and everything.
And I was just like, you know what?
I'm just going to get a check out.
Let me go, let me go get a check up, right?
So I went in to get x-rays done.
And then the guy come back out and say man
It's completely broke again
Yeah
Compound break. I'm just like what he's like. Yeah. He was like, did you do you remember?
Particular play in the game where you felt it and it was just like, you know
It was a lot of pain and I was like, yeah, I did
I remember that happening in the game.
And then honestly, after the game,
my neck kind of slowed up,
but then it subsided the next day.
So I didn't really think too much of it.
But within that play, I mean, when that play happened,
I ain't not breaking it again.
You know what I'm saying?
So that right there is kind of how the red flag,
you know, kind of got put on me.
And I think that kind of caused me to slip to number seven. But
you know at the end of the day once Detroit passed on me, which you know obviously Calvin Johnson
was a animal, so they didn't really miss on that one at all. And then I think at five
Arizona had to pick and I think they picked Levi, Levi Jones, Levi something,
whatever.
You can't even remember his name, but then you know.
So I had a little short stint with Arizona, and the Big Wells, those guys always said,
like, man, if we can do that over again, you know, that was one mistake that we made that
we regret.
You know?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so at that point, you know, I kind of knew that, you know, once they picked them,
I knew I kind of figured that Eric, I mean that the bike it was going to pick me.
And then honestly, I was just like, sure, if I can slide up to number 10, you know,
I won't mind being the H-Town, you know what I'm saying?
Oh, for sure.
It was number 10.
And I'm doing that draft, you know, but you know it all worked out man.
I'm glad you didn't go to H-Time my shit.
Hell nah.
You went where you were supposed to go.
But before we even get to you going to Minnesota.
You know today they got their NIL money.
What you think your NIL money would have been looking like?
Honestly though.
Like.
Man listen man.
I would have made so much money, like so much money just to
get to Oklahoma.
And then you think about the freshman year that I had, I was sick.
They robbed me for the highest matriarchy because back then they weren't giving the
highest matriarchy to a freshman, you know what I'm saying?
So, here my team gets a national championship.
I was what, 25 yards away from 2000
you know I'm saying like I
Could've easy got about my four or five. I would say about four or five
Easy. Yeah. Yeah
Cuz he boys eat now he bought me and that's why he step on the field
I'd be like they they they multi-millionaires for they even go to the NFL now, man.
I think Chador was eating, Cam Orr was eating, Archie Manning,
grand boy eating.
I'm talking about big dog eating, man.
So the game has changed now.
And you're like, for sure.
Shit, I mean, they make billions off y'all going to college
and all this and that.
Y'all wasn't getting shit but free meals and this, that, and the third.
A little per diem sometimes.
Yeah, per diem.
Yeah.
So you drafted, right?
So let's just take the audience through how the NFL works.
You get drafted.
How soon do you get to Minnesota once you drafted?
The next day.
The next day.
Okay.
They flying you down. They find you down
How soon is y'all signing contracts?
That the next day so actually y'all millionaires really overnight per se
Yeah, depending on your draft pick and all this and that
That's for some people broke as you know
I said that even though getting drafted to the NFLS live changing, but you know, really going from
back then we wasn't no NIL. So can't count your pockets. Don't know what you had, this, that,
and the third. But I know if me, if I was in your position, I would have been getting
underhand money. That's just me. I would have been the guy called like, see, I was taking money,
nigga. I'm a country boy. I ain't used to money like that.
So if somebody offer me something, I'm taking it.
Yeah, I hear you.
Just me.
Sometimes as dads, I think we're too hard on ourselves.
We get down on ourselves on not being able to,
you know, we're the providers,
but we also have to learn to take care of ourselves.
A wrap-away, you gotta pray for yourself,
as well as for everybody else, but never forget yourself.
Self-love made me a better dad because I realized my worth.
Never stop being a dad.
That's dedication.

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.
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.
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 Nefak, 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.
My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention.
This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows
with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI
and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them,
do you think these people are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the god damnest love story you've ever
heard.
I picked up the phone and my thought was this is the most important phone call I'll ever
make in my life.
I couldn't believe it.
I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.
Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Now you got me, you in Minnesota, ain't that many people in Minnesota. I don't even know,
is Kevin Gordon there still in Minnesota when you get there?
Minnesota. Ain't that many people in Minnesota. I don't even know if it's Kevin Gordon there still in Minnesota when you get there?
No. No. So you know it's just basically you. It gets basically you in
Minnesota. You're a rookie. You go into camp. What is the NFL life like? How
was it different from college when you first get there? Like from the plate
books to SMI area., what was the difference?
Yeah, so it was like a job, man. College wasn't like a job. It was like you got the class,
you got to go to your classes, then you got to go to workouts, and you got practice,
more lax, more say, more lax. In the NFL, it's like, okay, you get by yourself.
You know what I'm saying?
Like you got to get up.
You got done.
It's really like a nine to five, you know, if you, the meeting starts at eight o'clock
and you come in at eight oh five, you probably get hit by 10, 15.
You know what I'm saying?
No.
Yeah.
You know, like, yeah, they don't play.
You know, it's like, hey, this is what we're paying you to do.
Let's make it happen.
You know what I'm saying?
So from that standpoint, it was more so the business, a job as well.
But you know, you love in the game, it's easy to go through that process.
So you know, that was a big change.
And then, you know, just learning the playbook, you know, the playbooks was very, you know, intensive, uh, it's, it's a, um, yeah, whatever.
The playbook was fucking me, you know, really broad with the terminology and you know, everything
that came with it.
Right.
So just kind of really, you really had to dedicate, um, that time and be focused on
what you had to do.
You know what I'm saying?
Offensive.
Look at all that, give me the ball.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's run north and south.
Yeah, for real.
But no, but really like, it was very,
the playbook was very detailed, man.
You know, very complex, you know.
So just learning all the defensive schemes, you know,
that you get an NFL, you know, so just learning all the defensive schemes, you know, that you get an NFL,
you know, the blockings, assignments, you know, the routes and all that. It really takes time for
you to sit there and study and be locked in, you know what I'm saying? So it was, it was a little
easier process for me because I had Chester Taylor who was running back there at the time. And you know, he really put me on his arms
and you know, helped me out and kind of showed me,
you know, hey, this is what it gonna take.
The things that I do or whatever, you know what I'm saying?
So, you know, for me making that transition,
it was a lot easier and a lot smoother
because I had a lot of guys that was looking out for me
as well, you know?
And then when I went in, it was two or days, two or days, man.
Like training camp, you know.
Nine o'clock, 10 o'clock practice, full pass.
You go to lunch, part of like an hour break.
You're right back into meetings.
You're back out for practice.
Full pass again. You know what I'm saying?
So in the CBA, they end up changing that. So it's only one practice. It's been like that for for practice full pads again, you know what I'm saying? So in the CDA, they end up changing that.
So it's only one practice.
It's been like that for, for a minute now where it's only one practice.
And either in the morning or the afternoon, you can have shoulder pads,
you're gonna be full pads.
And then the other practice has to be like shells, you know?
So that right there was like, when I tell you the beast, it was different, man.
I'm talking about going out there full pads.
It's a big difference.
Like guys that play ball, they know it's a big difference between having full pads on
and even, and just having shoulder pads on.
It's like a different type of tempo, you know what I'm saying?
So a lot of these y'all never really got the chance to experience that.
And I'm kind of glad, but they didn't get a chance to experience how it really was in the NFL back when I came out.
Oh man, shit. I remember when I was playing football in high school. I remember them
tour days, you know, East Texas 98, 99 degree weather out there. They got us, like you
say, running them gases and all. God damn coach, I know I ain't even getting the game dog.
Why am I even doing all this shit, man? Man, I was four foot tall, 70 pounds. I wasn't getting in no damn game. Why I need to be in shape?
Yeah, you going for the leagues?
Yeah, every time.
Real talk, man. We was, you know, back in East Texas, you know, if you was, let's say you was on,
let's say if you was on varsity, but if you failed, you would have to play JV.
So we was playing a guy that was normally on varsity.
He in the filling, so he had to play JV at Thursday night
when I was on JV.
And this dude was bigger than you, peace.
Real talk, running back, big swole motherfucker.
I'm cornerback, right?
I'm 70 pounds, dawg.
God is my witness.
God is my witness.
They gave him a sweep. That big motherfucker came my way. I got 70 pounds dog. God in my witness. God is my witness. They gave him a sweep
That big motherfucker came my way. I got out the way
Yeah, I make a decision
No, Oh
375 rushing yours
He was older than us dopy he was already 19. My bones wasn't developed.
The varsity started running back on JB.
He couldn't pass his grades so he had to come down that Thursday night.
Man, I was mad as a motherfucker.
Man, no way this guy would have been playing against them.
They beat us 75 to 0.
That's crazy. 75 to five to zero my real talk. That's crazy
But also, you know, it's that rook is your rookie season that Minnesota family ran for 296 yards fail
Yeah, let's talk about what was what's going through your mind as you doing this shit, bro
Like like now I'm running over these mother like you doing the hit stick on Madden on these boys, man.
As a rookie, let's talk about it, man.
You know, it started that week, you know,
because I had the game circled
because I was going to be going against LT.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm like, that's my guy right there, you know what I'm saying?
Like, I done stole so many moves from him and just watching him and how you know, you know being from Waco and all that
I was just like, okay, I'm going to get LT man. This is the best spec in the league
I gotta make sure I show up, you know, sorry, you know this grind and you know, we get to the game and
That first half man
there was like three to four plays where I was like not patient enough or you know, I
just end up missing a read, right?
And I'm talking about these could have been big chocks, 40, 50, you know what I'm saying?
And I remember going to the sideline after those plays and you know, just talking to
the office online and like hey fellas,
just keep doing what you're doing man.
Like that was on me, you know, I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna just, but just keep pressing
because they was putting it in work.
And a lot of people don't know this, that game I had, we only had, I only had 40 yards
rushing in the first half. Came out the second hair and it was just like everything just
got rolling. Boom, boom, just picking them up, picking them apart. 250 something yards later,
you know, end up setting the record. But it was like I was in a zone. It was almost like an auto,
you know, out of body experience, you know what I'm saying?
Like you get into that zone where I'm being patient,
I'm so locked in, everything kinda felt like slow motion.
And then having Big Hutch, Big Brian McKinney,
like I had some Mac Burt, I had some dogs in front of me.
And then on the outside too, the receivers,
you know what I'm saying saying these guys were putting their work
At well, you know, so I had a Sydney Rice and
Bernard Barron. Yeah, you they had to block cuz yeah
catching trash
I know you can't say it but I'm gonna say it though and college were cold, you know, I always say sometimes the college shit don't translate
to the pros.
So them niggas were receivers, but they were blocking receivers.
And they did a hell of a job.
No, real talk.
They did what they were supposed to do.
Blocked them.
They sure went catching shit.
Yeah, yeah.
They had to make a sacrifice, you know.
For sure, for sure. Them boys they could play, but that boy, Seedney Rice, you know, for sure, for sure.
Them boys, they could play, but that boy, Seedney Rice, that boy, like, that was something
serious, though.
Nah, he was, he was.
Yeah, but, uh, it was like just being in the zone, man, and just, when I go back and watch
that game again, you just see these guys just blocking their ass off, man, you know, down
the field, you know, so they diving, they got ice legs.
So it was just the combination of, you know, the offensive line, you know, so they diving, they got his legs. So it was just the combination of, you know,
the offensive line, staying true to it,
you know what I'm saying?
Me continuing to press and really getting in sync
with those guys and the guys out wide, tight ends as well.
You know, just really locking in, understanding that,
you know what, we gonna run the rock
and that's what we're doing.
It's working, we're getting five, six, eight of chunk,
you know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
You know, so it was it was that type of game.
When did it really hit you that this my goddamn team?
No, like you know, come on now, you know, you know, you said thing in your mind, you're aging or whoever.
It was like, this my goddamn team. Now this shit going through me.
We need to get some big beef cat on this goddamn line, god damn it, because we're gonna run the ball. When did you know that what year was that?
That was that, that was in year one, man. Yeah. Yeah, year one. Year one. Year one. You know,
I realized that early. You know, one thing I've never, you know, had a problem with was having
that confidence, you know what I'm saying? Because, you know, I put it in the work, you know,
like I was able to realize at a young age,
that guy had blessed me with a tremendous talent.
And then, you know, on top of that,
you wasn't gonna outwork me, you know what I'm saying?
So not only am I the most talented guy on the field,
but you're not gonna outwork me, you know what I'm saying?
Even if you felt I'm gonna be right there in your ass, you know, trying to outwork me. You know what I'm saying? Even if you felt I'm going to be right there in your ass
You know trying to get you every time so that's the mentality that I had so when I win
I came in with that same mentality like you know what I'm gonna come in and you know
I'll be the best player on the team. I'm gonna help this team win a championship
Period you know I'm saying so after about four or five weeks, you know
I'm gonna say finally got me in there threw me in there, you know as five weeks, you know. I'm gonna say finally got me in there, threw me in there, you know, as a starter.
You know, I kind of felt then, you know, just gonna be my team and, you know, we're gonna
see what we can do.
Now, you say when nobody gonna outwork you, but you also see like when nobody gonna outhump
you either.
You got eight kids, fam.
God damn.
Boy, you pull, only time you pullin it out was the driveway, wasn't it?
Bam say, I'm gonna get it in on the field and off the field.
Come here.
Be fruitful and multiply, man.
Ain't nothing wrong with it, man.
Ain't nothing wrong with man.
Yeah.
You know, having kids, man.
I got some dogs, too, though.
I know you do I
If you instill in what's in you into them, oh my god, we we we in for it man in the kids man We in for it, bro. Yeah. Yeah, then you just have a son run the hundred
I think I just see somebody running track. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I got two boys that's running right now
One of them runs for the afterburners out here in the Missouri city area, Sugarland, Parallel area.
And then one runs for DBE.
They kind of want to stay with their friends or whatever.
But my youngest one, he ran, just last week he ran a toy,
I mean a 13, 13, three, three, two.
And he's not, this past weekend,
they won a four by one first place, four by four.
They got first place and then they got second in the four hundred.
He ran a one oh three, one oh three nine.
And then that's you know, somebody track.
That's like that's moving.
You know what I'm saying? Like that's moving right there.
And the kid that beat them like they go
back and forth all the time throughout the season.
You know what I'm saying?
So I know actually he'll get he'll get around to beating them and then my older son
he uh they didn't run 100 this week he just ran the melody relay and then he did the uh the four vibe the four by one relay they did that, yeah, so they putting in work, man.
They grounded, you know, they understand, you know, Adrian,
he's starting to understand too.
He's starting to develop, he's understanding their mindset
and what it really takes to, you know,
when you have the expectations
and you got these goals that you wanna reach,
and he's understanding that your body can do some incredible things if you allow your mind to
you know, allow it to get there, to push yourself there.
Axel, he's like, oh, he comes after running a 103.
He's like, Hey, dad, can I get my iPad now?
Well, you, why are you wearing a bunch of iPads?
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
You know, I'm saying?
So he's developing that mindset as well,
because I see him working harder and putting in that effort
and not just listening to what I'm saying,
and not just taking, allowing what I'm saying to go in one ear
and out the other.
I see some things at a young age.
So once he get around his brother age,
he's going to be so special. Well, you know, once he get around his brother age, he's going to be so special.
Well, you know, I always say, I always hear other fathers say, do they know who you really
are? They know your dad, but do they know who you really is and what you've done, like
in the league? Like, cause you know, you're a future Hall of Famer, we know that. But
do they really know who Pops really is? Like, son, I'm that nickel. And just not bullseye, ain't too many people
that's played in the national football league
has done what you done.
Like you do know this, right?
You the last non quarterback to win MVP.
Yeah.
East Texas.
Yeah, East Texas.
Come on, man.
That's just legendary shit right there, man.
Dude, I know from where I'm from around the way, Adrian
Peterson, man, MVP football running back for Minnesota.
Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So the older ones know, you know, they because they
was right there in the mix, you know, so they get it.
You know, my younger, you know, Axel, my baby girl, she'll learn when she get older.
He kind of understands, you know, I played football and, you know, he see the videos
and he always see people coming up to me when they, you know, get all of the awesome
pictures or whatnot, whatnot.
But he don't really understand the full magnitude of, you know, like I was that.
I was out there putting in that work. You know what I'm gonna understand the full magnitude of you know, like I was that and I was out there putting in that work You don't say like he don't understand today to that standpoint
What what squad you was on that you think y'all that y'all think y'all coulda y'all coulda done somewhere
Was it what was Brett the quarterback then you think?
Yeah
That was our year man, 2009. That was it bro, you know
That was our year, man. 2009. That was it, bro.
You know, 2009 was our year.
And the crazy thing about the game, we had seven
with six or seven turnovers, bro.
Yep. I put the ball on the ground three times.
I lost one of them.
What about my first fumble? I think my boy, Fahou, Kaihi, ended up jumping on it.
The second one flew out in front of me by 10, 15 meters.
And that was probably, I mean, 15 yards.
That was probably one of the best plays
I've ever had in my career.
Cause I was down on my knees.
I don't know how I got to that ball.
When you get a chance, you should just look that up.
I don't know how I got it, but I did.
It was like angels in the outfield.
Like literally it was like that.
I zoomed to the sucker.
And then the third one, you know, always, I've always taken it and it claimed it,
but, and I'm still mad at the Vikings for even calling the play.
Like we, we practice this goal line play.
I'm just like, man, let's stop trying to be pretty.
You know what I'm saying?
Get right there in the single back or put the full back out formation
and let's come right down here.
We got in the wishbone.
I'm down in the three point stance.
You know, we down in three point stance and it was like a off tackle, um, uh, play
and far came out and put the ball on my shoulder.
I mean, on my, uh, my ribs.
And that's how it fell out.
I remember that.
I remember that.
You know, we East, think about it.
You're somebody you, you watching.
And I had, I think I had to go to the restroom and come out and I got an uncle.
He, he just negative.
He just negative.
P I said, I come back.
I said, what's happening?
He said, man, no fuckers going to fumble again.
You say, God damn.
That happens.
That's the NFL, man. You ain't the only one that's done humble before, bro. That happens.
Yeah.
It's like you say, me cutting you off, it's the mind frame you had from the very beginning, bro.
And I'm just wishing that these young players, young men or young ladies that's in sports now,
they, it's what you said early in the show, man. You know you had the talent.
But you gotta put the work in.
Like you gotta work on your craft
or you not gonna get better.
So with all that that happened, all that you overcame that,
but you also overcame that torn ACL, bro.
Let's talk about the comeback from that.
Like in your mind, did you have,
I know you didn't have no doubt
because it's the way you are, but you hearing people say, is he done? Was he ever be the
same? Did that drive you in training and this, that and the third?
Yeah, that was definitely some of the driving force, you know, that added fuel to the fire.
You know, I was already determined that, you know, I was going to come back and be better
than I was before. And I tell people this all the time. determined that, you know, I was going to come back and be better than I was before.
And I tell people this all the time,
when that happened in Washington,
and, you know, they took me off, they carried me off,
and then went to the locker room.
My dad was actually there at the game,
and, you know, he came into the locker room,
and they're doing the assessment,
checking out the leg and they bam, the ACL is torn.
They moving around, bam, the, the LCL is torn.
You're just like, you know, like God, you know,
I already knew what that process was going to be.
You know, it's nine, 12 months they say, right?
And I remember in that moment,
just like, just ask some guy to give me the strength,
you know, just give me the strength
to be able to overcome this, you know?
And then in my mind, and I told my dad in the training,
I said, you know what, it is what it is.
I said, there ain't nothing I can do about it.
So, I'm just gonna accept it for what it is,
for what it is, and I'm gonna come back
and I'm gonna be better than I was before. You know what I'm gonna accept it for what it is, for what it is, and I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna be better than I was before.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's kinda how, I don't know,
I just kinda programmed it in my mind.
Cause at that point, it is what it is.
What are you gonna do now to come back
and be better than you were before?
Sometimes as dads, I think we're too hard on ourselves.
We get down on ourselves on not being able to, you know, we're the providers.
But we also have to learn to take care of ourselves.
A wrap away, you got to pray for yourself as well as for everybody else.
But never forget yourself.
Self-love made me a better dad because I realized my worth.
Never stop being a dad.
That's dedication.

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

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 it. 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, Iran Contra on the iHeart Radio app, Apple

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention.
This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests trading blows
with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic
left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them,
do you think these people are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century,
and the god-damnedest love story you've ever heard.
I picked up the phone and my thought was,
this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it
I mean Brendan it was divine intervention
Listen to divine intervention on the I heart radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts
And then, you know, just going through that process, you hear people say, oh, well, you know, we won't ever see the same Adrian Peterson, you know, we've seen the last of them.
You know, no guys come back from, you know, the ACL injury, especially when they carry
multiple ligaments and just that another.
And I'm just like, I don't know who you guys serve,
but I serve a different guy.
And I can do all things through Christ's strength in me.
That's one thing I know.
I see another guy in front of me,
you know what I'm saying?
Like, and he done gave me the strength to be here.
You know what I'm saying?
Gave my mom the strength to be able to overcome
and all that.
Oh, this is gonna be nothing.
So for me, I just had the same mindset. Like, you know, and all that, oh, this is going to be nothing. You know, so for me, I just had the same mindset.
Like, you know what?
I'm going to grind, I'm going to do whatever, you know,
whatever I need to do.
The doctors say, well, it's going to take you, you know,
three to four weeks before you're able to lift your leg up.
You know, this, after I came out of surgery
and I woke up talking to the doctor,
to kind of getting an update of whatever he did.
And my first question I asked him was, hey, so when
would I be able to, you know, start, you know, doing some simple exercise?
It's like moving my leg, just kind of getting my mobility back in the leg.
He was like, well, it's gonna be about three or four weeks before you do that.
You know, because the muscles are shut down and all that because of surgery.
And I lift my leg up then I said like this this. They were like, oh, we don't want
you to do it too much. Just that and other, you know. Well, I'm just like, you know, let's
go. You know, it's time to go ahead and get this process started. You know, so that's
the mindset that I approach through it, through every phase of that recovery. You know, anybody
that had any type of ACL injury or knee injury,
you know about the, the, one of the hardest parts is like,
getting your flexion back, you know, 90 degrees, you know,
being a, being a leg, cause that leg is stuck like that.
You know what I'm saying?
You gotta be able to bend it and really get that 90 degree
back and then you're full of extension as well.
Ooh, I wouldn't wish that pain on my worst enemy.
You know what I'm saying?
But you know, it was one of those moments where I just had to just do that process of
getting that range back.
I just dig down deep there.
I'm telling you, I'm just like, keep going, keep going, keep going.
I just kept pressing myself, pressing myself.
Because I knew, you know, that was one of the most important keys, making sure I got
my 90 back and that full extension so I wouldn't be walking all up,
you know, and I can have, you know, I can just be back to normal. And then, you know, once I got
that back, now I'm at the point where, you know, I'm able to get on the bike and I'm riding the
bike. I just ride the bike for an hour, two hours, just because this is what I can do to strengthen
my core, I mean, to strengthen my quads, my glutes, you know what I'm saying, my core as well.
Damn, shoot, you know, y'all want me to be on for 45 minutes to glutes, you know what I'm saying, my core as well. Damn, shoot, y'all want me to be on 45 minutes to an hour?
I'm going to go an hour and a half too.
So it was a lot of things that people didn't see.
And they, when they come back and say, I don't know how you did that, man.
That was incredible for you to come back and do the things that you did on that field after
the tenure, EC and your LCL.
But they don't see the grind.
They don't see the blood, sweat, and tears and the countless hours I was up in bed just
lifting my leg, you know what I'm saying, getting my flexibility back, making sure I
stayed on top of it with my steel machine on, making sure I'm doing extra reps and all that.
And, you know, it was a process, you know.
And I had, in doing that time, I lost a lot of weight, man.
I got down to like 195.
And when I left college, I was what, 205, 208.
And then once I got to NFL, I was called like by 217.
I fluctuated between 217 and 220.
So I had dropped, dang, 30 pounds, you know what I'm saying?
And so getting on that regimen as far as having the right team around you, right, supporting
CAS, because I didn't do all my recovery in Minnesota.
I came back to the H. Came back to the H, hooked up with Russ Payne, my boy James Cooper over at our gym
for athletic.
And I had, and what was her name, man?
One Tiffany, Tisdale, one of her.
But I had a chef who was doing meal preps for me, you know what I'm saying?
Made sure I got my, you know, the right things I needed to help with recovery and get my
weight back where I needed to be.
And I'm telling you, man, by the time I got down
the training camp, the boy was like, hey man,
you know, we wasn't expecting this,
but what we're gonna do is we're just gonna put you
on the side, I'm like, man, I'm ready to go practice now.
They weren't trying to hear none of that.
They were like, okay, we see what you can do,
but we just gonna play, you know, play it safe
I feel if you want to keep training and working out on the side for the next two weeks
Then you just go ahead and do that. So I
Was alright cool. That's give me more time to grind and you know a different type of my mode
The training cap so I did that for about two weeks and then once I got in there man
It was uh, it was that goal that I told myself
I gave I think all that said to be walking out that tunnel, you know week one
You know it came I seen myself, you know
We can announce and I'm the last one I see all the smoke
They announced all the other guys and then you know
it's my turn walking to the tunnel and I just see the smoke, they announced all the other guys. And then, you know, it's my turn to walk
into the tunnel and I just see the smoke and I'm just like.
You know what I'm saying?
And people wonder why I do that.
I'm giving praise, you know, to the most high because, you know,
eight months ago, I was in a position where people were saying,
oh, he's not going to come back and be the same.
He's going to, you know, this might be the end of his career,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
but you know, and throughout that process,
I kept talking about, you know,
I got a higher power just watching him with me.
You know what I'm saying?
I believe in a higher power.
So I'm gonna show you guys what it's about.
So to be able to come out and run through that tunnel, man,
it goes to show, you know,
when you believe, you have faith,
and you put that work in,
you've got to accomplish anything you put your mind to.
You press the grid through the storm
like King lost to the great.
Yep, and then this too, and I,
that's how he did this.
I ended up eight yards short of the all time record,
you know, Russian, single season Russian record.
In my mind, whether I have that status or not, I broke it in my mind.
Like, I actually crushed it in my mind, you know what I'm saying?
Being eight yards short, coming off the ACL, they still worked me in that season as well.
You know what I'm saying?
It took me out third quarter, beating boys in, you know what I'm saying?
So in my mind, it was just like, I crushed the record, you know what I'm saying?
So I've always had that mentality since, you know, since that year, you know what I'm saying?
But I feel like, you know, God just put me in a position to show what he was really about.
Man, God is, I talk about it all the time myself, man.
God is great, bro.
And I don't judge people who don't believe in him, but I do.
And I know what the good Lord can do, man.
I know what prayer can do.
And man, you have some praying people around you, because typically back then when that
happened to you, most running backs or receivers, whoever that happened to, people's career is pretty much over.
Yeah.
And then what you did, you came back a remarkable season, eight yard shot of Eric Dickerson who holds the Englefeld record.
Now I shot out the AD, but that boy be hating.
That boy don't want nobody to get that record.
I was mad at the Eagles for not letting Saquon get it, man.
You know what I'm saying? Let's go ahead. That'suggles are meant to be broken. Let's break them, right?
Yeah, but you know it is what he did. He stood a legal of it shot out to him
You know, you know, I think he's from Texas to by the way, you know, he even fuzz silly, Texas
Okay, with it with the SMU eating. He ain't no way cool people though, bro Like he both y'all tall y'all both like he man. I like my first to met you
I ain't know you was that tall you like least six to six three
Yeah, and you like like like for the people that's watching up there ever make met Peterson, bro
But dude got muscles in his eyebrows
I'm serious, man. So quick question. Do you dip Grizzly or Copenhagen? Which one? Grizzly?
No, Rick. I used to dip Grizzly too. So yeah. Yeah.
Grizzly and Wintergreen.
So you was dipping during the games too as well. Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I'll take them out majority of the time when I got on the field, but sometimes I had added in.
Yeah, I'll take them out majority time when I got on the field, but sometimes I had added in there
Mm-hmm. It's dope. Well, like okay
Because you know these are myths, but we don't get down to it. What was your 40-yard dash time?
432. 432. What was you benching? I was benching, you know, 425, 435
Schwaden. Where I was, why about 480? I mean 580. I mean I mean 580 I'm tripping 580 I got you oh full five was that that was like, you know, I'm gonna get 12 to 15 reps neck
Yeah, yeah, how was you working out though? Let's be I think you I think you was a lab rat to be honest
Yeah, so and when I got into feel I was working out with three by three times a week,
you know, but I did the bulk of my work, you know, Monday and Tuesday, because Wednesday,
the install kind of favor like the receivers and all that. So, you know, and Tuesday is,
it's off day in the league, you know what I'm saying? So Monday, I come in even after the game
off the end of the league, you know what I'm saying? So Monday I should come in, even after the game,
and do my squats, flush my body, you know, four or five,
you know what I'm saying, 445 on the squats.
And I don't believe in,
I never believed in reps of four to six.
You know, I was always 10 to 12, you know, 10 to 15,
those type of reps.
So that first part of the week, I would push my body,
do all my rehab, the cold tub and all all that and she'll get my conditioning in and then I'll be ready to roll by the time Sunday
came around.
The hardest hit you ever took, who delivered it?
The hardest hit I ever took, Brian Dawkins.
Ooh, Eagles.
Brian Dawkins, man.
It was inside zone play, boom, I bounced, got back up the field and got tripped going through the hole.
And as I'm looking down, I'm looking up the field, that n***a was coming.
And I feel like this with my head down, he hit me so hard in my back, bro.
Like, when I tell you my back neck area, he hit me so hard.
He was just like, boom. You know, he's something.
He knew he had got a good one on me too.
Dang. That's probably the only time I literally like felt a hit and was just like,
damn, that ain't even hit me hard enough.
My, you know what I'm saying?
I got up, I was mad at Brian Dawkins for many after that.
I thought, that was a 30 hit,
because I was already falling,
you didn't have to do all of it, you know what I'm saying?
I was going down, bro, you know what I'm saying?
But it was a playoff game,
and just watching him and understanding how he played,
I would have did the same thing.
He had the same mentality,
he was just a defensive player.
And I would have did the same thing,
I would have came down just like he did, and then made you pay for it. You know what I'm saying?
So it was Brian Dawkins and then um
Sean Rogers got me one time when we was down in Detroit
Mmm, I broke and I bounced outside and I think it was a quarterback that was coming in
It was coming down pursuing me
and I It was a quarterback that was coming in. It was coming down pursuing me.
And I cut back to the left, trying to jump cut.
Boom.
And Big Sean Rogers, he dang near 400 pounds.
You know, while he was playing, he was about 350.
And he was a fast guy though.
So he was pursuing the ball and I just cut back and he just, boom, hit the dog.
The crap out of me, man.
Just dropped me down a my, just dropped me.
And I remember getting up like, I was ready to fight, you know, and I turned around and
I see Big Shot and I was like, okay, and you go and take my butt back to the hole, back
to the hole real quickly.
This big boy low.
But those were probably the only two that really felt like that.
What team you knew that they weren't going to let you do your thing?
You hate playing.
You just knew they weren't going to let you do you.
Like, no matter what.
Surprisingly, man, it was the coach, man.
And still to this day, the coach always, it's like they got a style of defense that they
play and a style of players that they like.
You know what I'm saying?
Like they always got an agile defensive line, you know what I'm saying?
And some smaller linebackers normally.
But they fly to the ball, man.
They fly to the ball.
And that was the one team that always was on me, man.
I never understood it because it's like, you know, they weren't making it to any Super
Bowls or anything like that.
But that defense was always fired, man.
Like there was an athletic guys up front.
And I think that's what made it made it made it hard,
hard when we played against those guys.
But I would say there, you know, it was always even still to this day.
You look at you look at them.
They got guys that probably two eighty, you know what I'm saying, 275, you know, and they're agile, athletic, defensive linemen and linebackers.
Who's the biggest trash talker? Man, what was this cat name, man? I think it was, was it Daniels?
I think that was his name, played for Green Bay, man, defensive tackle. Can't think of his first
name right now, but he talked so much trash, man. He
he was the only one that made me open my mouth to talk. Like normally I'm just, I'm like an assassin
out there. You know, I'll say nothing. I'm just going out there. You hit me, I'm gonna come back,
and I'm coming back the same intensity, right? But he was the one that always kind of brought it out
to me, where I would kind of, you know, jaw back and, you know, talk shit to him or what not. But I can't think of his first name, but he was a D tackle and he was Daniel.
His name was last name was Daniels played for Green Bay.
He was all right.
Did you, did you ever get to face Mike Vick in this prime?
Oh man.
Nah, nah, not in this prime.
I wish.
It would have been awesome to sit there.
I would have been cake on the sideline, taking the knee.
Like, what the hell you do man? Nah, not in his prime. I wish. I would have been awesome in the city today. I would have been on the sideline taking the knee.
What am I gonna do, man?
Why up?
Oh, man. Yeah. Vic was must-see TV.
Man, we were just having an argument, man.
I ain't gonna say an argument, but a conversation.
And it was...
Who was more electric?
Was it Primetime or was it Mike Vick?
Who would you pay your last two dollars to see perform?
Was it Dion or was it Mike Vick?
But we do know Mike Vick always had the ball in his hands.
Yeah, I was gonna say.
A whole lot more than what Prime did, but I just remember the aura Mike Vick had, bro.
And you know, Deon had his own Atlanta way, but it was something about that Mike Vick
way, bro, which is just different.
It was different.
It was different.
It was different.
I think that fact alone with him having the ball in his hand, you know, 100% of the time
offensively, you know, it's kind of hard to pick Deion
and Deion my all time favorite player, you know, but it's kind of hard to pick Deion
over Vic from that standpoint.
You remember that?
Could you remember that Nike commercial though?
They had like the simulation with the ride and all that.
It was some serious man.
And it had a cannon, you know what I'm saying?
Through that thing, 60 feet, 70 feet, feet you know off a one foot and just so
elusive and he was just he was something different man. Best quarterback you
faced? Best quarterback I faced? Tom Brady. What was that like? Remarkable you know
just seeing the precision on this ball, you know what I'm saying? Just
watching him, because I used to sit back and just watch him, you know what I'm saying?
Like the, like, I didn't really, I look at how the phones came out a lot of the times,
but you know, just watching him and seeing how, where his eyes were, the things that
he was looking at, you know, really kind of doubted it to him and his decision making.
And it was like, bar none, man.
And it was only a couple of the guys
that I seen do it on that level, you know,
Drew Greed, you know, Peyton Manning, you know,
those type of guys.
But watching him operate, man, it was special, man.
Like just seeing the zip on his ball
and just the confidence that he had in his arm
to get the ball there.
You know what I'm saying?
So it was a, it was pretty spectacular experience.
So you played with another Hall of Fame
of Brett Favre, what's four?
What's four?
Bobby carrying up there back then with y'all?
Yeah.
Yeah.
If he did, he didn't might be over there. It was surprising.
You know, but they talk about Yager Canyon, though.
Did you ever see him breaking any receiver fingers or something?
Or they tell me to calm it down.
Man, it was at 40, right?
So we have we was at practice, man.
And I had like a little five by five, you know, was it?
It was a five or five, three by three,
little route outside, sick route or whatever.
And a receiver was running around behind me
and he threw the ball.
And obviously I knew the ball was it to me
because it would have been right on me, right?
So, but I could have like reached over and grabbed it, right?
But he threw the ball past me and that was the first time I ever heard
From the ball bro, I it blew my mind
I was like this to 40 years old man, and this is the first time I've heard the ball, you know
When go over here with a ball strong, but but the crazy thing is even at 40
right and even at practice and this is why I got a lot of respect for him because I
Was the same way you know say he wasn't he was not there's just oh, you know
There's a lot of in the ball just like with this practice spook
He was acting like it was a game
You know saying that was the same way I practice you You asked anybody that played with me, any team that I played with, even a walk through,
I'm in that thing, boop, boop, boop.
I was always 100 miles per hour and far was the same way.
You know what I'm saying?
Every throw he was throwing like it was a game, man.
And so, you know, I had a lot of respect for him, even more so after that. Sometimes as dads, I think we're too hard on ourselves.
We get down on ourselves on not being able to,
you know, we're the providers,
but we also have to learn to take care of ourselves.
A wrap away, you gotta pray for yourself,
as well as for everybody else, but never forget yourself.
Self-love made me a better dad because I realized my worth.
Never stop being a dad.
That's dedication.

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 Angelique 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. 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 it.
I'm Leon Neyvok, 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 iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts,

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes,
host of Divine Intervention.
This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots
and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover
in a hell bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic
left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people
are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the god damnest love story you've
ever heard.
I picked up the phone and my thought was,
this is the most important phone call
I'll ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it.
I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.
Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
or wherever you get your podcasts. How do you feel about now the game now with the running back position is well since Saquon
did, we did last year, but it's been watered down.
How do you feel about that now? Yeah, you know, I feel like those guys like say Kwon
You got Henry you got Jacob, you know, you got you know, Joe mix is down here did this thing, you know this year as well
And you know, so it's some up-and-coming guys too who are going to you know, we've happened, you know saying the boys in Detroit
They nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly, exactly.
So I think this core right here, this group,
is gonna make them put some respect back on R&A,
you know what I'm saying?
Because you see what these guys were able to do.
We almost had two running backs hit 2,000.
You know, Derrick Henry was, was, was right there.
You know what I'm saying?
About 34 years off, you know?
So, and then the one thing that always stay true is when it comes to the
playoff time, you know, they start hitting that rock off, you know what I'm saying?
They start hitting that rock, that rock off a lot.
Um, but, you know, I think you kind of, you know,
it's a national football league, right? So you go,
you don't go through different periods where, you know,
they might try to devalue the running back.
But I feel like the guys before who has, who,
who motivated these guys,
who inspired these guys to play the game the way that they play is going to
continue to inspire kids to do it that way. So they have never been able to to order a Xamu or diminish what you know
a true running back is able to do. You know what I'm saying? And it doesn't have to be
run back by committee.
When it when it when it's all over said and done, you know, what you done is what you done in your NFL career.
Do you have any regrets in the game?
Any regrets?
Do you feel like you could have done something different when you was playing the game?
Only one regret I really have, honestly.
It was 2015.
Was it 2015? 2015, yeah, I think it was 2015.
And last year we played outside,
just when we were playing at TGF Stadium,
University of Minnesota.
And we played Seattle Seahawks in the playoffs,
wild card game.
And we were down, I want to say maybe by a point,
I think we were down by one.
And we were down on the goal line.
It was maybe not the goal line,
it was like on an eight yard line or whatnot.
And of course they know they're running the ball, right?
So bam, I get tackled, boom.
And the third down come up and it was an inside zone play.
And in my mind, I'm like, we have field goal range.
Let me protect the ball.
Let me try to get as much as I can.
And then we're gonna kick this field goal
and the game gonna be over.
You know what I'm saying?
I regret that because when I got the hand off,
I hit the hole and for a split second,
that's all it took, a split second,
I could have boom, bounced and just ran outside
to the pot line and just used my speed
and got the touchdown, you know what I'm saying?
But that second happened so fast
and I was so locked in on,
boom, let me just not try to do too much.
Let me just sit there for the field goal.
Boom, I ended up just kind of, bam, cramming it in.
And then they brought the field goal unit out
and this nigga on missed the field goal.
What was that like?
What we're going to be honest fam,
like did anybody on the team say something to him, dog?
Oh yeah, we said some good word.
Oh yeah, without a doubt.
It was like, and not only that, what even hurt even more than that, it was so cold out
there.
It was one of the coldest games in NFL history, like top five.
So to fight through that game and for it to come down to a game-winning field goal, an extra point kick, and you missed
the field goal?
Boys ready, boys ready to fight that dude, man.
Boys ready.
What's holding?
Because I wouldn't have been in the game, no way.
So I would have got off.
I'm talking my hands, soon we got in the line.
I'm throwing these bitches, holding real thought.
Shit.
Y'all gonna keep me on the team because I can handle business, god damn it.
Shit like that, bro.
Because I respect the game.
I talk a lot of shit, but I respect the game.
I know how hard it is to get to the playoffs.
I know how hard it is to get to a Super Bowl.
You're in different stores, this and that.
But shit like that can't happen, bro.
You got a job to do.
Just kick the ball.
That's all you got to do.
Like you say, you done crammed it up and done.
You got him in position.
All you got to do, come through, kick it.
We going home, we celebrate.
You drinking beer, you dipping the skull,
you making more babies, you doing all that.
Yeah, that was it.
This motherfucker right here, decide to miss the key.
I'm jumping on him, baby.
I'm sorry. I'm jumping on him. I'm jumping on it, man. I'm sorry.
I'm jumping on them.
Yeah, it was devastating, man.
It was devastating.
And even more so for me, because I knew within that split second, me hesitating and not
taking it, I'm just like, I look back at that, I'm like, damn, you know, I could have, if
I just want to hesitate it, bam, I could have just, bam, take it out there.
You know, because they had a fail, bam, just like that, it, I could have just bam took it out there, you know, cuz they had a feel Bam just like that is open and closed and how I just went with it, you know, it's a different storyline
You know I'm saying so that's my only regret
What do you what do you rank yourself among the greats be honest?
I know how you are know you you always give everybody else they praise but tonight we give you your praise
We give me your flowers while you can smell them because you can't do shit
with them when you gone.
Yeah.
What, what do you rank yourself at when you hear the Emmys, Smiths, the Walter
Payton, the Danny and Thomases, those type of players, Eric Dickerson, OJ Simpson?
Yeah.
What do you, what do you rank yourself?
Personally, I know personally within my, my mind, you know, I rank myself as the best.
And this is why I say that.
I say that because I feel like you can be the best in so many different categories,
right?
Take for instance, Barry Sanders, right? I don't think, and you know, anything is possible, of course, but I don't think we'll see another
running back that would be as elusive as Barry Sanders was.
You know, I still haven't seen it.
I don't think the closest thing right now is Saquon.
When you talk about picking up yards and gaining yards, you know, and making people miss,
you know, he's so dynamic, right?
I feel like when it comes to having speed,
power, vision, awareness, instinct, you know,
I feel like me and Walter Payton were those type of guys.
You know what I'm saying?
Bo Jackson was that type of guy.
You know, obviously his career was shortened as an injury.
But I feel like we were those type of guys that you just never knew,
you know, where we were going to end up with the ball.
But we're going to do it before we run over you.
We're going to run through you.
We're going to run by you.
You know, we're going to jump over you. Like gonna run by you, we're gonna jump over you.
Like we just had a totally different style,
you know what I'm saying?
Totally different style of play.
And then a totally different mentality as well.
So when it comes to that type of running back,
I feel like I was the best to do it.
Because I watched the guys before me,
the, you know, the Errol Campbells,
you know, the Walter Paytons, you know,
these guys who inspired me, you know, the Errol Campbells, you know, the Walter Paytons, you know, these guys who inspired me, you know, LT to play the game the way that I played.
And I've always had the mindset to be the best to ever do it.
You know, that's why when people come up to me and be like, hey man, I don't care what
nobody say, you know, you're the best, you know what I'm saying?
Had you not got hurt or had you not missed that one year or or you know things
It's kind of played out a different way
Shoot you write up there with Emmett when it comes to me you're out there with uh, we have an in when it comes to
The yard, you know I'm saying so I understand the dynamic of how my career went and I understand how it could have went
You know I'm saying and I'm okay with that is what it is because they happen for a reason but when it comes to
You know just to run it back position and what I bought to the game
You know, I personally feel like I was the best. That's the mentality. I've always I've always had and played with I
Love that man tough because I feel like I apply it to what I do in this comedy game, bro
Like you gotta think that way.
You can't think no other way.
And for you to say that coming from East Texas
and for your name to be mentioned with the Emmet Smith,
the Walter Page, bro, like salute.
Like that's legendary shit, bro.
The rush over 2,000 yards, my G.
That's unheard of.
Ain't too many players ever.
There was what?
Five, 10 players ever,
roughly 2,000 of yours.
Like 10 to 10.
It's not, it's haven't been that many.
I think Chris Johnson, he was on the list too,
he's the weird dude from the Titans.
Yeah, I got that.
But you will be able to do what you done, bro,
to what you are now bro, is anything
you would like to say to a young man that's in the game right now man?
Anything you would like to say to him to let him know?
Yeah man, I would say this man.
I don't care who's in your corner, I don't care who's working against you or who's believing
in you.
You got your game plan in order and you put that work in because you got to understand you get out what you put in. You put in mediocre work, you're going to get mediocre results. You put in that
grind and you set your standard, your bar high and you believe that you can accomplish what it is that you set forth for yourself.
You know, write those things down, make it known.
You know what I'm saying?
I got goals right now on this mirror right here.
By seven of them, those thingy tabs, things that I want to accomplish still to this day.
And I'm out of football.
But every day I get up, whether I'm thinking about it or not, my eyes go, my eyes go, my
eyes goes over to that mirror and I see it. not, my eyes go, my eyes go, my eyes go over
to that mirror and I see it.
So it's like bam, let's go.
You know, so I program myself to that.
So you gotta understand that that's the approach and the mindset you gotta have.
And then you attach to that the number one ingredient is understanding that you can do
all things to Christ who strengthens you.
No one else can, no one else have to believe in, not your mama, not your daddy, your grandma, your cousin, sister's girlfriend, wife. No one else
has to believe in you. As long as you believe in yourself and you put that work in,
you're going to see the fruits of your labor. You're going to see it. It's a way,
we're designed that way. We're designed that way. No matter who else believe me,
you believe in yourself, you write down
what you're trying to accomplish and you put that work in, you will accomplish it.
I like that.
That's the motto I always try to tell my people, my fans, is watch this show.
Especially come from me and you come from, bro.
There ain't too many of us that make it out and you know you you what you done
Can't even fathom no shit like that, bro But why I'm from maybe you know, it's either either you you say a dope or you own dope
And I always tell people where I'm from if you got a chance to move around or get out move around man
And um, don't be don't worry about what people say about you man. They they're gonna talk man
Like I'm dealing with that shit now, bro.
It's like I'm successful because I'm in the Illuminati.
Fuck out of here, man.
Come on, man.
Like hard work gets you here.
God gets you here, man.
Like nobody's gonna give you shit.
You got to go out and take it.
Every chance you get, any chance I ever got, A.P.,
I'm putting it in their motherfucking face.
Like, I'm young.
Like, I do all this laughing, joking on these videos.
That's cool, but I really do this shit.
When I get on this stage, I'm gonna show my ass.
I'm gonna show you why people follow me and rock with me.
That's just what it is.
I wanna be mentioned with the big dogs because why?
Because I wanna live.
Because where I'm from, bro, we don't have a lot of money and your name is all you got.
So I want to lead that with the people man. I'm trying to be the best I can always be.
You know, everybody ain't gonna like it. We get it.
Everybody ain't gonna like it. That's what will make the world what it is now.
Everybody ain't gonna like it. It ain't that you ain't done something to somebody just the way the world is.
But I tell people man
Fuck what people say because what they eat don't make me shit
So I don't know what they say as long as my real fans is on here right now rocking with me
That's the only crap out who rocking with me
I don't give a damn about what nobody else saying cuz that shit ain't stopping nothing. I got going over here
So yeah
over him. I get it bro, I hear the people talking about you. I don't give a fuck about negativity. It's all about the positive. This man came out of East Texas, Hall of Fame,
motherfucking running back, mentioned with the Barry Sanders, mentioned with the Walter
Paytons, Eric Dickerson. That's the top of the top. If you was in the safari, you'll be the top line.
You'll be the one with the big mane.
You have 100 out springs.
That's you, bitch.
You're like in real life, you got about eight right now.
But I'm just saying, I believe in giving people their credit while they're here, bro.
I don't...
Appreciate that.
Tier one, huh?
I hope there's no...
Hey, man, on the positivity side, this is what we do.
Me and my fans, we love you bro,
we appreciate you for coming on this show, man.
Taking time out your business schedule.
We appreciate it.
And, man.
It's all good, man.
Hey, let me say one thing, man,
cause I was gonna say this too,
and you hit it right on the head.
So I'm just gonna say this,
you know, people always have something to say, right?
Like always, and you know, throughout my have something to say, right? Like always.
And, you know, throughout my career and just life and zone out, I still here, I still here.
You got to be able to block that out and just continue to press forward.
And this is why I always tell my boys and my kids, I said, think about it from this
perspective, Yahshua, Yahweh, Jesus, whatever you want to call him.
He walked this earth perfectly, no sin.
And they beat him.
When people hear, they hear beat,
they don't understand the magnitude that he got beat.
His skin was hanging off his body, crucified him.
No sin, talked about him.
Who are we not to be persecuted?
Like who are we not to have to deal with it?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, who are we?
So for me, you know, I'm human, don't get me wrong,
but at the end of the day, we built for this.
We built, we built.

We get down on ourselves on not being able to, you know, we're the providers.
But we also have to learn to take care of ourselves.
A wrap-a-way, you got to pray for yourself as well as for everybody else, but never forget
yourself.
Self-love made me a better dad because I realized my worth.

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 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 it.
I'm Leon Nefock, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran 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 iHeartRadio app, Apple
podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention.
This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover
in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI,
and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors
and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century,
and the god-damnedest love story you've ever heard.
I picked up the phone and my thought was,
this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it.
I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.
Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts.
