said, okay, back to you in the studio.

I love pig tails.
That, you know, hog head cheese, you know, the pigigtail, you know, you put pigtails in green.
You put turkey necks in green.
Yeah.
You know, on the chicken, you eat every part of the chicken except the first and last part to get over the fence.
You eat everything but the beak and the butt.
The first part to cross the fence and the last part, you leave that.
But I didn't know until I got to college that you could buy individual chicken parts.
Because my grandmother always bought the entire chicken because it was cheaper and cut it up.
So I didn't know you could get all drumsticks.
You could get all short thighs.
You could get all wings.
You can get all breasts.
I remember going to the grocery store.
I'm like, no, I wasn't in the grocery store.
I mean, I didn't buy anything in college.
I was probably in the NFL when I was out on my own. And I'm in the'm in the grocery store and i'm looking i'm like you mean to tell me you can
get like all drumsticks you can get all i i never i never knew that yeah that's yeah but but i don't
i don't need some i'll tell you this this is what i tell people i ate a lot of things when i was
growing up to let me know what i didn't want to

Now you know how bad it's getting in California.
They're gonna have people smuggling Skitt? Now, you know how bad it's getting in California.
They're going to have people smuggling Skittles and hot tamales like it's marijuana or some illegal drug.
I have a question.
If it's so bad, the red dye and whatever ingredients are in it that are harmful for us to consume, why are they waiting to ban it until 2027?
So they want everybody. It's okay for everybody to keep on munching on
this. I know Marshawn Lynch is going to be mad
fucking with his Skittles.
Exactly. But here's the thing.
We know what's in tobacco products
the nicotine and they ain't banned
them yet. I remember
when I was a kid,
I remember when cigarettes were 50 cents a pack.
And you know what everybody said? If they go to a dollar, I remember when cigarettes were 50 cents a pack. And you know what everybody said?
If they go to a dollar, I'm going to stop tomorrow.
Cigarettes damn near $7 a
pack and they're still smoking.
Yeah, I mean, listen, there's
an angle. I got my mama to stop cold turkey.
I bet my mom
$25,000 she couldn't stop
smoking. She said,
you're going to give me $25,000.
She said, baby, I just bought two packs.
I just bought two cartons yesterday.
Let me finish these, and I'm going to get
that money. My mama stopped cold turkey.

granny was going to raise,

The thing that you refuse to say,
hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that. May is Mental Health Awareness

I'm Max Chavkin.
And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith. Every Friday,
we will be diving into the biggest stories in business, taking a look at what's going on,
why it matters, and how it shows up in our everyday lives. But guests like Businessweek
editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams, and consumer spending expert Amanda
Mull will take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms, even the signal chats that make our economy tick.
Hey, I want to learn about VeChain. I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is that they're doing.
So listen to Everybody's Business on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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 iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We had to put a sheet over the mirrors
because the old people believed the spirits
would come out of the mirrors. So we had
to cover them so they couldn't come out.
And you had to sit there. You had to
take the phone off the hook.
My grandma didn't play that.
My grandma would light your ass up.

as my topping.
That's easy to pick off.
Yeah, it's easy to pick off.
And I also don't know
if you've been picking off
my goddamn sausage too
because when I open my pizza
and you know it's
the way the layout is
of a pizza.
And you got sausages missing,
I'd be able to notice that.
Man, buddy, man, run me my money to notice that. Man, buddy, man,
run me my money back, please.
Nah, nah,
run this ass with me.
Nah, run this ass with me.
Nah, I ain't for the,
I ain't for the hands on.
Ocho, man, you know,
oh, first of all.
I ain't for the hands on.
Ocho, you already know
you hungry
because you ordered it

30 minutes anyway.
Right, right, right.
You're like, ooh, man,
I can't wait to get this pizza.
Ooh, ooh. It's kind of like when you get the order, you home, you ready been waiting 30 minutes anyway. You're like, ooh, man, I can't wait to get this pizza. Ooh, ooh.

and guess what happens?
Somebody that's mad, they done messed your order up.
So now you're mad. Now you done
waited all this time. And this
mofo, he picking, he done
put his nasty ass hand.
First of all, why you open the box?
Hey, you know what?
I know it's cameras on the elevator. I'm trying to get down to how do they this nasty ass hand. First of all, why you open the box? Hey, you know what? I would like,
I know his camera's
on the elevator.
I'm trying to get down
to how did they actually
catch him and let the people
know that he was taking
the goddamn food
off the people pizza.
I'm sure,
I mean, look,
the camera probably did that.
I don't know if they
let the people know.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
Golly, man.
You gonna let,
you gonna let, you gonna let your customer know that you got a nasty mofo in there? No. Oh, yeah, you're right. Golly, man. You going to let your customer know that you got a nasty mofo in there?

Listen, if the goddamn people who he delivered that pizza to see that video
and realize, well, wait a minute now.
I ordered a pizza that happened to look like the same person that I tipped
when they put my pizza in.
I just don't look.
The first thing they doing,
they going straight to court.
My biggest problem.
And I've had to learn and I'm getting better at this.
Is that I expect people to behave like I would behave.
And that's,
and,
and,
and,
and my therapist told me,
said,
Shannon,
that's your biggest problem.
Right.
Is that you expect people to act
in a manner in which you would act.
I wouldn't eat nobody's pizza.
I wouldn't put, you know,
you see people spitting in people's stuff
and putting their hand in people's stuff,
because you wouldn't do that.
So why take a job?
Why take a job and do people's stuff stuff like that why would you do people like that
that's what I don't get
that's what irks me
yeah
I just don't that
bothers me Ocho it really does
and you know what that got me
thinking about in high school too remember I
told you how if you got some food in your home
walk by he'll slap it out your hand real quick
hold on what about the other one if you got some food in your home, baby walk by, he'll slap it out your hand real quick? Yeah! Hold on. What about the other
window? When you got food
in your hand or you got a plate or just something,
they'd be like, you gonna eat that?
And literally touch it? Oh, yeah.
But see, here's the thing, Ocho. We already
know we playing them. You remember that?
You eat that and they literally touch
it. All right, dog. That used to be so
funny. Ocho, let me tell you
what we used to do. Even in camp, we grown.
We grown-ass men. I used
to go by and take all the peppers
and loosen them up.
When they pull the pepper, all the pepper go in.
And all the pepper fall out.
Man, I get it.
They already know. Hey, you better
take that pepper.
That pepper shaker. Okay., man ain't nobody man sharp
That's all you run. How y'all know sharp did it?
I bet everything it went wrong. It was sharp. Ain't nobody do that
You the culprit you the culprit. Yeah, I mean how you think that make me feel, Ocho.
Man.
But, uh,
like I said, Ocho,
people be doing too much. They really do. Now, if somebody beat the brakes off
you for messing
with their food, because everybody
don't play. That's what I tell people.
Everybody don't play like you play. Oh, especially
food and money?

Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,
break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small.
Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance,
you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible
and step boldly into the best version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable
strength that's inside of us all. So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being
and climb your personal mountain. Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you.
It's impossible for you to love you fully if all you're doing is living to please people.
Your mountain is that. Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small ways.
Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding.
But the price has gone up, so now I only buy one. The demand curve in action. And that's
just one of the things we'll be covering on Everybody's Business from Bloomberg Business
Week. I'm Max Chavkin. And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith. Every Friday, we will be diving into the biggest
stories in business, taking a look at what's going on, why it matters, and how it shows up
in our everyday lives. But guests like Businessweek editor Brad Stone,
sports reporter Randall Williams,
and consumer spending expert Amanda Mull
will take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms,
even the signal chats that make our economy tick.
Hey, I want to learn about VeChain.
I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is that they're doing.
So listen to Everybody's Business on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts. 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.
