A certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes
currently at 98%
approval. Coogler reunites
with Michael B. Jordan. Michael B.
Jordan plays twin brothers Smoke
and Stack. This movie gave us
horror, history, action, comedy
and musical. I don't think I've ever seen a movie
like this before, Ocho. Ocho,
I watched the movie. I know you watched it
also.
It started out a little slow,
but once it got going,
Ryan did his thing on this one. He did his thing on this one
he did his thing on this one
and I'm not the biggest
horror movie type
of a guy, which I mean look
I've seen all the Halloween's
and the Friday the 13th and the Nightmare
on Elm Street, I've seen those
but I saw Carrie
when it first came out, I saw the Omen

Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part Audible original. Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never
before heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best. Muhammad had this
real sense of his own personal values and principles, things he believed in, his own
sense of conviction. Those convictions never wavered. Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali, and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey,
Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life
through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas.
It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know.
As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity.
There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime.

Okay, now I understand
when it comes to wrestling now,
I'm known historically for my bad diet
and still being able to play at a high level
eating McDonald's only
is it
is your diet strict
are you vegetarian
vegan
I don't know some of these other names
or do you have cheat meals
no I have cheat meals
so I'm somebody who
I don't like to
I'm moderation right

if I want it
I have it
in moderation. But when it's WrestleMania,
I lock in. I pretty much, I
try to have cheat meals, so I'm ready for Sunday.
I'm on night two WrestleMania, and after
Sunday, after I defeat
Io and Rhea, and I take that title,
I'm going to be in McDonald's probably
the next day.
So,
tell me about the triple, so Bianca, tell us about the triple threat match yeah so i
have a title match i'm in a triple threat match i'm going against uh rhea ripley and right now
our wwe women's champion is eo sky so it's a triple threat and whoever gets the first pin
wins so at this point i won elimination chamber i'm supposed to be going to wrestlemania i'm
supposed to be i'm supposed to be facing real WrestleMania. I'm supposed to be facing Io Sky.
And it's just been a bunch of shenanigans.
My path to WrestleMania has been crazy.
I ended up being a special guest referee.
And so now it's a triple threat. So that's
why I'm going up against at WrestleMania.
Oh, okay.
Now, hold on. What happened?
You, Jade, and
Naomi, y'all were cool.
Jade, my girl, hold on now hey if there's a beef i don't

in a tag team together we we did amazing things we put the tag team division on the map and then
it's just a lot to happen you know jay got taken out and naomi stepped in so that i wouldn't have
to relinquish that title because i felt like we put so much hard work into it and so the whole time we're trying to figure out who took jade out and come to find out it was naomi what it was naomi trifling good for nothing trust me i was
just as confused as everybody else jay came back i thought she was coming back i listen i done been

You know, Jade, I don't think she trusting me right now.
And I'm like, I'm confused.
So right now I feel like we're trying to get through WrestleMania.
Jade has a match with Naomi, which breaks my heart.
I have a triple threat match.
And I think we're just trying to get through WrestleMania.
Then, you know, maybe we'll revisit that and try to figure all that out.
It's crazy.
Hey, you know what?
Speaking of WrestleMania, listen, you've created some historic moments
at WrestleMania, obviously.
And looking back,
if you're able to look back,
what's your favorite WrestleMania memory
moment so far?
I mean, I definitely have to go with
main event in WrestleMania
with Sasha Banks.
We made history.
We were the first two black women
to main event WrestleMania.
It was coming right off of the pandemic.
So it was a crazy time in the world but i i was i was a rookie my very first year i found myself in the main
event of wrestlemania i won the smackdown title we won an espy off of that match so we got
recognizing the world of sports which i'm all about because i've been an athlete my whole life
so and ever since that moment like it's just changed the whole trajectory of my career and
it's been uphill since then but that's that's the memory that's always going to stick with me because it
was more than just about having a wrestling match you know like it was about inspiring generations
to come and be in representation so that's definitely like the moment that sticks with me
right hey Bianca I want to ask a question this ise uh what's your what's your regimen as far
as working out i see you cut up over there what you how you stay toned what you're doing yoga
pilates what you what's the secret oh i don't cut up like a lizard listen i don't do yoga and
pilates because i can't sit still i'm i'm. I'm a girl who I lift very heavy weight.
I do a lot of circuit training, but I lift very heavy weight.
I do a lot of circuit training, like CrossFit type of training, but I can't sit still.
I can't get with the yoga and Pilates.
That CrossFit, it's not a lot of rest in there.
It's just like constant moving, huh?
Yeah. not a lot of wrist in there it's just like constant constant moving on yeah it to me it's like the
best thing to do that kind of simulates wrestling because it's full body movements and it's just
like circuit training yeah so you're more of a hit you're more of a hit type of workout you like
high intensely and you like to keep it going so i'm gonna do i'm gonna do this for an hour i know
i'm gonna burn maximum calories i'm getting full body because look everybody ain't got time to i'm gonna hit chest and trice i'm gonna hit back and
i'm gonna hit hamstrings today i'm gonna hit squad tomorrow i'm gonna do you know i'm trying
to get it to eight i got a a a small amount of time i'm gonna get in the gym i'm gonna kill it
i'm hitting back shoulders abs hamstrings we'reads. A full body workout. I mean, we travel a lot.
So like we always have to try to find whatever gym.
It might be a hotel gym, whatever gym is on the corner that day.
So we have to try to like adjust to what we're doing.
So I'm always trying to get the best workout in.
I'm always a HIIT girl.
I'm not doing cardio less as a HIIT.
And I love the Peloton.
Like I stay on the Peloton.
That's the only way I can do cardio on it on the machine yeah but when you let me ask you this when you
work out do you have do you like listen to music or you just i do i do i do but my my playlist is
like all over the place i i be i be having like meg and and then next thing you know it's Kirk Franklin.
I listen to a lot of gospel music when I work out because I be going through it.
I'm like, Lord, Jesus take the wheel. Help me get through this.
When people be asking me, can I come work out with you? I be like, I don't think you want to do that.
Because I be getting it in.
What different sports did you play?
So I started out with track and field and gymnastics.
So those are like my two bases, which I feel like is...
You can see the foundation.
Yeah, that's my foundation, track and field and gymnastics.
And I did those sports majority of my life.
I played basketball as well um but i'm
sorry i mean i look i was i was good on defense i got i got the rebounds
listen i i i say that i say that to ask like what sports you played growing up and i just
want to know at what point was a transition for you
where you realized, you know, a wrestler is my calling
and not the other sports that I played as a –
Yeah, that didn't happen until I was an adult, until I was 27.
So I went to college and ran track.
I went to University of South Carolina, Texas A&M,
and University of Tennessee.
I ran track.
And after college, I was like like I've been an athlete my
whole life I have to do something so that's when I found CrossFit right and um I realized like my
whole life I've been grinding and trying to get a scholarship and working so hard I was forgetting
to have fun when I was working when I was playing sports so CrossFit I was like okay I'm having fun
I'm gonna make it some of my own outfits I was going out there in tutus I was like, okay, I'm having fun. I'm going to make it some of my own outfits. I was going out there in tutus.
I was turning flips and then doing a power clean and press and grabbing a microphone and talking to the audience.
And Mark Henry, who's a WWE Hall of Famer, he saw a video of me.
He's like, you're basically a wrestler.
You're basically wearing a wrestling gear.
You're talking to the audience.
And I didn't really watch wrestling growing up.
My brother watched it. So I would watch it here and there with him. So I was just somebody who didn't know much about the business. So he got me a tryout and, um, I did two tryouts, got hired, had no idea what I was doing. And then I completely fell in love with it. people who always say like i don't watch wrestling that's that's not for me or i haven't watched it since back in the day and i'm like listen that used to be me just just come to a show just
watching you gonna fall in love so much has changed and so i feel like it's my soulmate
like i think of it as like my husband like once wrestling came into my life i'm like where have
you been this whole time this is what i've been looking for wow now you know jay played college basketball also
so one-on-one who who listen we did um hot ones and we had to play basketball and she whooped me
she whooped me i call myself the est but she she whooped me in basketball yeah she you know she's
she she's really athletic i've seen her work out a
couple times she used to train with the trainer that trained me um when i retired no she she she's
y'all work out have y'all worked out um we haven't every time we went on we would go on the road we
would try to get together and work out well actually one time we did work out but we actually
read our mouths more than we worked out. So that didn't go well.
Here's the thing. Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton got a little personal with their
comments.
Do you think they crossed the line?
You say, oh, don't worry about it. When I get y'all ass in that ring,
we'll settle this.
Listen, in wrestling, you never know what's going to happen.
That's what's really cool about wrestling. That's what makes it
entertaining.
You never know when lines are being blurred or when they're not being blurred and um you know i think
that with what happened in the ring it caused a lot of conversation online and it brought more
eyes to to what's about to happen and all i can say is i feel like a lot more people are going to
be tuned in to what's going to be happening at wrestlemania and whatever beef they got inside
and outside the ring they're going to settle that wrestlemania and we all going to be happening at WrestleMania. And whatever beef they got inside and outside the ring,
they're going to settle that at WrestleMania,
and we all going to be locked in watching.
Know what I like?
I like that.
You got something, Joe?
I'm going to be tuned in.
I want to see what they're talking about, see what they got going on.
Exactly.
I got one more question.
Go ahead.
If you could have a dream match with any WWE legend, past or
present, who would you choose?
I would have to go
with...
It's hard to pick one.
Beth...
Trish.
She just came in and
had a couple of matches. She still
can throw down in that ring. She gets
down.
For me, I think it would be Beth Phoenix.
Just because she was, like, one of the first ones that I watched,
and I saw her pick up two girls on her shoulders, and I'm like, yeah.
And I'm like, I want to do that.
Like, I want to do that.
Beth Phoenix and Jazz.
Those would be my top two.
Okay.
I like it.
I like it.
We saw you recently returned to your high school
to donate hurdles uh you mentioned that you played it uh you ran track at university of south carolina
tennessee texas a&m uh curtis fry the head coach at texas at uh south carolina i think is it
mckinnon now because he used to be at lsu now he's at tex A&M, correct? Oh, I'm not sure. When I was there, it was Coach Anderson at Texas A&M.
Okay.
Yeah.
So what was your fondest memory of high school?
I mean, because obviously you were very athletic.
You had to be one of the most popular girls at that school.
You know what?
I was popular, but not because I had a lot of friends.
I was actually very quiet and reserved into myself in high school.
I had like a very select group of friends.
Like my best friend to this day was my best friend when I was like eight years old,
even through high school.
That's awesome.
But I was so locked in with track, like where everybody else was at parties.
I was on the track running.
I was waking up in the morning doing, I would do a thousand abs every morning and like 300 pushups every morning.
And I was,
I was focused in high school,
but I think my best,
it's crazy.
My best memories were on the track with the track team.
Like we,
we,
we were like my group of friends.
That was like the first lesson of, like, women empowerment for me.
Because we really stuck together.
We really pushed each other.
And we trained hard.
Like, we're still friends to this day.
And then I think, like, my high school, I think, like, football games.
Like, my high school, the band mimicked the HBCU type of band.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And I was a, yeah, I was a cheerleader, and I played basketball.
And so, like, we were, like, my cheerleading team, we were, like, the Clovers.
So we were more of a step team.
And, like, I would play basketball with the girls.
And then after the game, I would go in a locker room and switch over from my basketball uniform into my cheerleading uniform.
And I would go out and then cheer for the boys and flip down the court.
Yeah. So those are like my fondest memories.
It all revolved around like sports and stuff.
I can honestly say in all my life I've been
look I was in 4-H
I was raised on a farm I've been to the county fair
I ain't never heard no itch like that
I'm a hooper
for the women
and then I'm gonna go change out
I'm gonna get my chili
I'm on top of the pyramid
I was on the bottom of the pyramid
I was the base
the base.
You were the base.
Yeah.

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's so many stories out there. And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
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. 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 Attorney General.
I'm Leon Nafok, 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, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, your hands can't hit what your eyes can't see. podcasts. through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best.
Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and principles,
things he believed in, his own sense of conviction.
Those convictions never wavered.
Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali,
and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey,
Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing
ring to delve deeply into
Ali's extraordinary life through
conversations with Billy Crystal,
Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez,
Common, Will Smith, and Bob
Costas. It created a North Star
for me of how I want
to be in the world, you know.
As a child, as a young
person, he gave
credence to my audacity.
There's no debate that this
is the greatest global sports figure
of our lifetime.
Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible.
Hey, hearing the story,
hearing your stories about track, it resonates with me so well because
obviously my daughter runs track right now for university of kentucky and she's a sophomore
and her friend her whole core group her nucleus is actually those that run track with her because
there's nobody really outside of that and that that's really dope yeah man i always feel like women in sports we learn our our best
lessons whether whether you go and become an olympian or professional athlete or not
you learn so many lessons when it comes to sports and you get so many friends that become lifelong
friends so i'm happy she's having a great experience but you know you said track go ahead
go ahead what about about your athletic ability?
Which parent does it come from?
It comes from your mom or your dad?
From both.
From both.
My mama said she was fast.
She ran track?
She said, well, no.
Neither one of them actually played sports in high school,
but they both said they were both athletic.
We ain't got no footage.
No.
I just take their word for it.
I have to believe it because I got it from somewhere.
I think I got it from both of them.
Bianca, there's nothing easy about track practice because it's you.
You have to do the work, and you're only going to get in what you –
you're only going to get out what you put in.
Put in.
Because that's a really lonely sport.
It's a really individual sport because can't nobody help you.
I always say track is – we were just talking about this with my parents
over the weekend.
Track is one of the hardest sports out there.
And we were saying how you train so hard and like, say, for instance, say you run the hundred and you, you, you train for, for 10 seconds, 11 seconds.
And it's not, you don't get, you don't get immediate, immediate gratification.
And for instance, for like, like basketball, even if you lose the game, you still score points, you score a bucket.
So you get that immediate gratification.
Football, you might score points you score buckets so you get that immediate gratification football you might score a touchdown
track is
that gun goes off you cross the finish line that's it
and a lot of times you hardly
if you're like the
top top top you
win a lot right but if you're not
you hardly ever really
win in track
that's crazy to think about
you trained all these years you trained all these days you hardly ever really win in track that's crazy to think about you trained all these years you trained all these
days you hardly ever really win you're just you're you're you're going against yourself you're you're
going against your own time and that's why like if you a track athlete when they have a track meet
and you ask them like oh did you win you're like it doesn't matter if I won you should ask like did
you beat your PR because it's always you against against yourself. And it's a very, very hard
sport physically and mentally.
For the people that didn't watch first take, we had you on first take,
Stephen A and I and Molly, and you were talking to tell us about the
outfits that you wear. You make all of your own costumes.
Yeah. Everything that you see her wear in the ring, guys,
she does that.
Yeah, I make everything.
All of my gear, I make it.
Most of it, I make it from scratch.
Some of it, if I run out of time, I'll customize it.
But for the most part, I make it.
And I've never taken a sewing class a day in my life.
I've learned everything through YouTube,
YouTube videos. YouTube, yep, trial. Let me get on YouTube right now. I'm going to find me something I can do through YouTube trial. YouTube videos?
Yep, trial.
Let me get on YouTube right now.
I'm going to find me something I can do. You can.
Wait, you serious?
You never learned how to sew, but you can do things from watching YouTube?
Yeah, I went on YouTube.
Oh, I took home ec, so I do know how to sew a little, but I made a shirt.
See?
Yeah.
See?
It's just in trial and error. It takes dedication and time, but I make everything in school because I when I watched my like the video game, the gear that I'm wearing, I made that my action figures.
I made that. But it's rough because I just I don't have a lot of time. So a lot of time I'm sewing in the airport. I'm sewing in my hotel room.
It's crazy, but I keep pushing myself,
and I'm excited about my WrestleMania gear this year.
Bianca, would you like to do movies?
I mean, I can see you as an actress.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did.
I was in Bel-Air the last season, and that was really really cool that was my first
experience of like being in in an actual show but i would love it i mean technically what we do in in
in wrestling with storylines it's it's acting you know and i look at people like rock john cena
batista they've all really uh set that that that that blueprint and now with us going with Netflix
I feel like it's just going to open the door
more and more so I'm excited
for the future I would love to be
in movies
can we expect another season
of love in WWE? I mean I hope so
I'm waiting to
hear back it's funny
though because I was somebody who was always
like I would never do reality
TV. It's not for me.
It's mm-mm.
And then I learned to never say never.
So, you
know, the opportunity presented itself.
We were like, okay, let's just, let's not
try to be perfect.
Let's just be real. Let's just be us and see
where it goes. And we really wanted
to open, like, pull that curtain back
and show people what it's like to be, like, a WWE superstar
and be a spouse at the same time and balance that lifestyle.
So I think we, like, we spoon-fed the first season.
So it would be really cool to do a second season
and show more of our life outside of wrestling.
For those that don't know, Bianca's husband is a WWE participant also.
So how did you guys meet?
We met in WWE.
So when I say WWE completely changed my life,
it completely changed my life.
It gave me a whole...
You're not supposed to mess with somebody at work, Bianca.
So funny story.
Funny story.
Yes.
Yes. That was the rule.
And even
Mark Henry
literally, oh gosh.
Mark Henry, the one who got me into WWE.
So when I first got into WWE,
I saw him.
And he got injured really bad. And he went away for a couple of months. I was got into WWE, I saw him and he got injured really bad.
And he went away for a couple of months.
I was like, oh, that's a beautiful man.
Keep him from me.
And they did it.
So a couple of months later, he came back and I was like, oh, okay.
So this is what we're doing.
And we just like immediately clicked.
And we just like never left each other's side.
And then Mark Henry came to the to the performance center, which is where we train.
When we first get in WWE, he pulls me aside.
He's like talking to me about like, what do you want to do?
And, you know, who do you want to be in the ring?
He's like, you know, whatever you do, don't date anybody in the business.
And I'm just like, oh.
And I was like, OK. And I'm just like, uh-oh. Too late.
And I was like,
okay.
And I'm like,
oh no,
this is,
what do I do now?
Yeah.
So,
when he found out
we were dating
and we were getting married,
I think once he found out
we were getting married,
he was like,
okay,
cool.
But yeah,
we just broke all the rules.

Thank you for having me.
I do.
You're very, very welcome.
I see you.
Miss Bianca Belair.
Man, that was, she's unbelievable.
We had on a couple of, about a month ago, she was on first take.
And so she's just, her personality, Ocho and Joe, she's just, I mean, you can see she's so bubbly.
You can see why people gravitate towards her.
Her personality is infectious.
You can tell she's very passionate about what she does.
That's why she's good at it.
You heard what she said?
I did 1,000 sit-ups every morning.
I made sure I did 300 push-ups.
I did this.
I did that.
You see, a person that's motivated, they're going to be motivated in all things.
You got to have the routine.
Those are the people that you want to surround
yourself with. Those are the people
that you want to be in business with.
You want on your team. You want
very self-motivated
people.
I don't need to motivate you with money
because guess what? When you get enough of it, then
what's the stimulus?
I don't want to motivate you by fear. I'm what? When you get enough of it, then what's the stimulus? I don't want to motivate you by fear.
I'm going to fire you or I'm going to do it.
At some point in time, they become idle threats.
Self-motivation is really sustainable.
And that's what I tell kids all the time, bro.
Young ladies, guys, find something that you're passionate about.
And go after them.
That's all you got to about. And go at them.
That's all you got to do.
Yes, sir.
That girl cut up like some onions, boys.
Ain't she?
Man.
Man, Joe, hey, Joe, she mad. No, no, no, no.
Look, I'm happy.
I'm just saying.
And I know you got people.
I mean, you're right.
Hold on.
I can look at the menu now.
I ain't trying to order nothing.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm just looking.
I mean, hey, just because you don't order don't mean you can't order.
I'm just looking at the menu, I ain't gonna order nothing.
Ocho, what's our order?
You better come take this menu.
I might order again, come take it.
No, I already know that.
Don't break the dessert menu either.
Yeah.
No, but she's great.
I mean, I grew up a wrestler.
I mean, I'm from Georgia, so Georgia Championship Wrestling is where it all started.
It started in the South.
Wrestling used to be very regional.
You had the South.
You had the Mid-Atlantic.
You had the Midwest.
And, you know, it combined.
But my grandfather used to take me and my brother to Baxley.
We go to Savannah, we go to Blackshear, we go all those Lovai Delia and
