Give it up for Sherelle Rosado Johnson. Bye, Sherelle. 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,
Starting point is 00:22:45 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
Starting point is 00:23:52 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... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra,
Starting point is 00:24:16 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,
Starting point is 00:24:41 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And now, guys, it's time for one of your favorite segments. It's time for the Rail Report. Come on out, Rail. Hey, Uncle. Rail, how you doing? I'm doing amazing.
Starting point is 00:25:03 I mean, you surprised us in Houston. I really didn't anticipate you to stay on the road this long. Did you go back home or you just came straight to Dallas? I went back home. I had to go to Tampa. I'm doing affordable homes in Tampa. Right. There's a shortage.
Starting point is 00:25:18 So we got to make sure that, you know, we can help out the people who need to purchase homes. So I'm doing that. And I'm back in Miami. And, you know, I make time for nightcap. Well, we really appreciate that. I think the question that everybody wants to know, you and Ocho still beefing? Goddamn right we beefing. He is in time out.
Starting point is 00:25:39 I don't know why he act like I'm in a doghouse, but he's in the doghouse. Nah, we beefing. You know what? It's something that's really funny. You know how you look at Instagrams, you look at Twitter, you look at just pictures in general when it comes to couples. You ever notice how they always show you the good? Everybody's always smiling. Everybody's always happy.
Starting point is 00:25:59 They don't never tell you about the motherfucking ups and the motherfucking downs. Why you got to curse so much? Why you got to curse so much? Because I'm mad. My daddy is in the audience. I'm trying to share my experience to let you know that it ain't always fucking happy. It ain't always smiling. She make me fucking mad and I love her, right? I love her. That's my dog. But she in the dog house. Well, if you love her, give her a kiss. Uh-uh. I don't know. I'm in the dog house.
Starting point is 00:26:36 I can't kiss him. I got chapstick on. And he been smoking cigars. He been smoking cigars. You don't like cigars? It's funny. When we met, when we met, I was smoking cigars. He been smoking cigars. You don't like cigars? It's funny. When we met, when we met, I was smoking cigars. It wasn't a problem.
Starting point is 00:26:49 And it wasn't a problem. But you brushed your teeth and you had a mint in the back of your mouth. Now you got complacent. Right. And you think you're supposed to just kiss on me without doing all that. So that's not love. That is love. That's not love.
Starting point is 00:27:02 If I got to do all this extra stuff. You was doing the extra shit when we first met. But I got to do all this extra stuff. You was doing the extra when we first met. But I got you now, so what's the point? That's why you're here. Okay, Real. How did you and the Ocho meet? I think that's the million dollar question. DJ, go ahead and play, It Goes Down in the DM.

I thought I was dealing with a person. He spoke a lot, very intellectual. I thought I was dealing with a you know, a hood. I could be hood. I could be out of switch.

Starting point is 00:30:50 so all the twos equal eight in the year 585 oh lord have mercy yeah yeah it was amazing what advice would you offer women obviously you know you're a savvy business woman you built this brand you built this business through a lot of hard work a lot of determination what advice would you give women that want to follow in your path
Starting point is 00:31:17 I think you know choose you first I was at a point where I felt like I needed to put, I was at a point where I felt like I needed to put my man first and follow his dreams, but find you someone that supports you and go after your dreams. Um, it only works. A lot of people think that you should put your kids first, but that's not true because you stress out and in order for everyone else to be happy, you have to be happy. So focus on your dreams, do what you need to do, communicate with your kids, with your spouse, and everything else will fall in place. So that's the biggest thing, making sure that I'm set. If I'm set and I'm good to go, then everybody else attached to me will be good. How did the military, obviously everybody knows, I don't know if they know, but Sherelle was in the military.
Starting point is 00:32:10 So how did that military, because you know you have to be disciplined, you have to be structured, you have to be punctual. How has that helped you in your business? It taught me discipline. It taught me how to deal with different personalities. I do own a brokerage how to deal with different personalities. I do own a brokerage. I deal with different personalities. So it did teach me how to be able to lead different personalities. I mean, everyone is not the same. It taught me structure, mainly discipline, how to lead. I did 13 years in the army, two tours to Afghanistan.
Starting point is 00:32:44 I jumped out of airplanes. was a baff a badass mother yeah that one i'm talking about real yeah and she pulled the gun on me twice he lying no for real yeah oh but when i told you old girl pulled one on me you told my oh yeah but that wasn't your girl that was somebody else girl that's the difference but it definitely taught me discipline and you know how to control my emotions and um how to communicate because you dip you're dealing with different personalities and people wasn't raised how you were raised. Correct.
Starting point is 00:33:26 So you learned a lot. You travel a lot. I mean, Ocho say you've already been to Turks and Caicos like three times this year. You travel a lot. Obviously, when you're in the military, you move around a lot. But what are some of the destinations that you haven't gone that you would like to go to? Africa. Africa.

Starting point is 00:34:28 I just don't be. But soccer ain't in them all these. I know. But it was your birthday. That's the only reason I went. You came because of me. So that ain't the only reason why you travel. It was cool.
Starting point is 00:34:36 It was nice. I'm just, I'm not into traveling. I'm not into sightseeing. I'm not into taking pictures. You got to compromise. I like to travel. You got to have to compromise. I did compromise. I like to travel. You gotta have to compromise. I did compromise.
Starting point is 00:34:47 You know how I compromise? Compromise. That ain't compromising. You don't think so? No. Why? You need to know what you want. That is. I knew I wanted you so I put No. Yeah, look at her. She's smiling.
Starting point is 00:35:04 She's smiling. You see how violent she is next question what advice would you offer young mothers because you have kids and to juggle kids juggle your business juggle a relationship how difficult and what advice would you like to share with some of these young women out here it's's very hard, and don't get discouraged. Like, go after your dreams. Have a village. I don't do it all on my own. Like, my father is here.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Papa! He helps out a lot, and a lot of people will say bad things. Oh, you're not taking care of your kids, this, that, and the third. But you know the bigger picture. Like, you know your end result. You don't have to explain anything to anyone else. As long as you're communicating with your inner circle, your babies, let them know, this is why I'm doing this because this is the bigger picture. That's all that matters. Wow. So what was the hardest part about starting a business? Because I mean, I don't know if you've
Starting point is 00:36:01 ever owned a business before, but what was the hardest part? You would say was the hardest part to get this thing off the ground and get it moving. So quick story. I did 13 years in the military right when I knew I was medically retired. I started my business. Okay. And everyone around me was like, you crazy. You about to give up 13 years. You need to get a GS job job a government job and go back in
Starting point is 00:36:25 and I'm like no so I started my business while I was still active duty military okay wow so once I medically retired my my leave date I jumped right into my own business wow I didn't even have time to even think about the hard parts because once I jumped into my business I started recruiting then I landed a tv show my business wasn't even set up for three months and I had a show on Netflix. Do you always know you wanted to be a businesswoman? Yeah give her a round of applause that's unbelievable. It was a lot of hard like I had a lot of criticism I had a lot of oh y'all ain't doing nothing y'all but the biggest picture was to show us as minorities, us as black women, that we can get into luxury as well. When I first got into real estate, it's like, I was like, how can I sell $2 million, $3 million?
Starting point is 00:37:16 They was like, girl, it's all about who you know. Nobody had the blueprint. And I wanted to change that. So I recruited some women, and I took a different route, and it got to change that. So I recruited some women and I took a different route and it got me to Netflix. But what was your question? Cause I got it. No. Did you always know you wanted to be an entrepreneur? Did you always know you wanted to be a business woman? Honestly, I didn't have a plan. I was a teenage mom. I lost my track scholarship. A lot of people don't know that. Um, yes, I was a 400 mom. I lost my track scholarship. A lot of people don't know that.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Yes, I was a 400 runner. You see these legs? You see these legs? But I lost my track scholarship, and it wasn't about me anymore. It was about my child. Okay. So I decided to go into the military. I didn't have a plan.
Starting point is 00:38:05 I did 12 years, 12 and a half, 13 years, and I was like, I'm tired of working for people. I've seen people stress out, die at the age of 55, working for the government. I was like, I want to be my own business owner. And it just blew up from there. Yeah, Ojo. Hold on now. Now, what she did now is I'd help too now. What you help with? Not with the business, because the business was here is I'd help too now. What you help with?
Starting point is 00:38:25 Oh. Not with the business, because the business was here before you came along, baby. Okay. But you did help. Once you came into my life, you did help take it to that next level. Oh, let me, okay, let me get you together now. Don't do that. But the business was business then before. Right, right, right.

So really, y'all business partners now, Ojo? No, we're not business partners. You can't mix business and pleasure. No, sir. You can't do that.

Man, I love, look, everybody's going to go through something if you're in a relationship. To say that it's peaches and cream every single day. Absolutely not. It's not.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Hell no. And I think I love the fact that people do watch us. I mean, they go to the extreme. I'm not going to lie. But Chad and I are normal just like everyone else out here. We go through things, you know. We shut down with each other. We need a break.
Starting point is 00:40:47 She's stubborn. You stubborn, too. She's stubborn. But at the end of the day, our love overpowers everything. And, you know, we have a great family. We have great support. And that's all that matters.
Starting point is 00:40:58 And we keep God first. Well, you know what? Since y'all back together, thank you, guys. Dallas, Sherelle Risotto. Ocho, before we move on, Ocho and Rel, guys have officially made up. They've kissed and made up.
Starting point is 00:41:14 And so now... Hold on. Look at each other. Now, we... I mean, look, we all right. We all right, but listen. I eased up. You know how you drive and ride, and you step on the brake? So I stepped on the, we all right. We all right. But listen, I ease up. You know how you drive and ride and you step on the brake?
Starting point is 00:41:27 So I step on the brake a little bit. I'm easing off of it. I ease off it all the way because if you ease off it all the way, they're going to think it ain't sweet. Sweet. And I'm being serious for those. You know, I mean, I'm handling this as mature as I can. Well, I'm proud of you, bro. As mature as I possibly can.
Starting point is 00:41:47 I'm proud of you, Nip. Yeah, I appreciate that. She right there behind me. You can't see her? Oh, she in the bed asleep. Baby. Wait, wait, wait. Yeah, she not back there.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Listen, she back there snoring like a rhino. Realty, I'm traveling. Realty, I'm traveling. Yeah, yeah, not that bad. Listen, she's back there snarling like a rhino. Realty, I'm traveling. Realty, I'm traveling. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, she came with me, you know, came to support me at Inside NFL Wednesday. So, you know, we left there and drove on down to New York. So, you know, we in New York. I see people in the chat making fun of me, talking about,
Starting point is 00:42:21 what you in a storage unit with no lights? Somebody say, what you back in the closet, what you in a storage unit with no lights. Somebody say, would you back in the closet, put you in the storage unit? No, I'm going to tell you, I got the lights off because, you know, my little baby hippo, my little baby back there, you know, snoring. But yeah, she's sleeping. But other than that, man, I just, we good, man. We can take things slow. What I need to do, I need to start over with her.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Yeah. Because we in year five, right? And we got to look comfortable. I think she didn't got to look comfortable. She didn't got to look complacent. I think I got to find ways to fall in love again, you know, and find ways to re-date, you know, all that good stuff, man. You know, just add a little pepper and spice to this shit, because, you know, we got everything became routine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, she working, you working. And I'm going to be honest, we had a good talk.
Starting point is 00:43:21 Yeah, we had a good talk, man. That's what's up. Driving from Philly to here, but we had a good talk, man. Driving from Philly to here? We had a good talk, man. About time she took something that most women don't. She took accountability. I was like, okay, I'm proud of you. She ain't did that in five years.
Starting point is 00:43:35 I like that. I like that. I like that. I like where you look. Own it. Yeah. Yeah, that my dog. That my dog.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Clean it up. Yeah. Yeah. But the greatest apology is changing behavior. Yeah. Yeah, that my dog. That my dog. Clean it up. Yeah. Yeah. But the greatest apology is change behavior. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, it is. It is. It is.
Starting point is 00:43:52 But listen, I like when I hear that phrase right there. The greatest apology is change behavior. Now, there's only so much we can do as humans because you are who you are, especially at our big age, you know? And at times if you have to change too much of who you are to be someone else, then you lose the sense of yourself. And that's one thing I can't do. I can't lose the sense of self and what makes me, me. Now the issues and problems that we do have are not magnified that much because they're small. Yeah. They're, they're fixable problems.
Starting point is 00:44:24 But what I need to do is I need to find a way to minimize those small problems because small problems continue to build and build and build and build and build. Well, that's why you jump on them. But here's the thing, Ocho. As long as you approach it in a way that's not confrontational,
Starting point is 00:44:37 you're like, baby, I want to talk to you about something. Yeah. It's not an issue, but I don't want it to become an issue. And then you approach it like that, you don't approach it in a confrontational manner. You don't cause like you wrong. And I'm right in this situation. You talk to her. Like I said, I just know real through you. But I think I think, you know, she she's probably because the one thing I do know, Ocho, she loves you. She wanted you. She wanted
Starting point is 00:45:08 you. She wanted you. It's the one thing where a woman wants a man, there's not a whole lot that woman won't do for that man. And vice versa. And vice versa. I don't think I'm breaking news, but when a woman
Starting point is 00:45:23 really wants a man and she put herself out there, like, yeah, I'm not breaking the news, but when a woman really wants a man and she put herself out there, like, yeah, I want you, let it be known, let the record clearly state that Ray O wants Ocho. Man, that's not how she told me. She said, I want you, but I don't need you. So like, it was, like, it was, she kind of hit me with like a backhanded compliment at the same time. Like, well, damn, you ain't I don't need you. So, like, it was, like, it was, she kind of hit me with, like, a backhanded compliment at the same time.
Starting point is 00:45:49 Like, well, damn, you ain't have to go that in there. Just say you want me. You ain't have to tell me you ain't need me. We know, we know, we know you good. But I think we on the right path. We doing good. We doing good. But I like, and somebody tweeted me the other day, why you always posting when y'all beefing?
Starting point is 00:46:07 Listen, I post when we happy. I post when we smiling. I post when we sleeping. I post when we wake up in the morning. I post every goddamn thing. I'm not living shit privately because I ain't got nothing to goddamn hide. Like some of these people that think they want to be so secretive and
Starting point is 00:46:22 like who the fuck is y'all? I ain't no motherfucking A-lister. I'm who the f*** is y'all? I ain't no mother f***er, eh, listen? I'm going through the same s*** y'all go through in the chat. I'm going through the same s*** you go through. I mean, we all go through the same thing. For what? I go through the same arguments y'all go through.
Starting point is 00:46:38 We had the same fights y'all have. Like I said, it's okay. But as somebody that's gone to therapy for a number of years and many of times is that the therapist always say, Shannon, are you arguing to be right or are you arguing for right? So you say there are two different things. They both end with right. But what are you arguing for? And you have to be able to communicate with your partner, both in a language they can understand.
Starting point is 00:47:19 If you speak in Mandarin Chinese and she's speaking Spanish or she's speaking Portuguese, there's no communication there. And you've got to have communicated. See, when you have uncommunicated expectations, you have expectations for Rell. Rell has expectations for you, but they aren't communicated. See, this is where the problem starts to arrive because there's uncommunicated. Well, I thought Ocho was going to take me this.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Well, she didn't tell me, so how am I supposed to know? See, sometimes we get to the thing where you should just know. No, baby, just tell me what you want. Just tell me what you want. And I'm going to try to do what I can to make sure that happens. Because I want to make you happy. Because at the end of the day, a man, when he's looking, I'm talking about a real, a woman, it's not an educational, Joe.
Starting point is 00:48:08 It's not a body. It's not a beauty. It's not the sex. Can you bring me peace? Because all those things, all those things, the finest, beautiful, I mean, hanging from the ceiling fan,
Starting point is 00:48:25 and he can turn it on high. Yeah. But if you don't give that man peace, eventually he gonna leave. Yeah. But you know what? Also, in turn, one of the things I learned,
Starting point is 00:48:37 especially about myself now, like I like what you're talking about, but I'm gonna take accountability on my end, so I got to bring old hell real peace Peace my goddamn self. I got to bring her peace. So normally, if I'm bringing her peace, then once I
Starting point is 00:48:53 cross that threshold in that door that I call my safe place or my safe haven, whatever that be, then I do get peace. Now, if I'm acting a goddamn donkey and I'm expecting her to bring me, if I'm acting a goddamn donkey and I'm expecting her to bring me peace when I'm acting a fool,
Starting point is 00:49:09 oh, no, it don't work that way. You're right on, Joe. Relationships are tough. You got to work at it. Just like there are very few people. I mean, just look. You got to get into football because you worked at it.
Starting point is 00:49:22 You practiced at it. You studied it. You have to take that same approach with your relationship. If you're married or whatever, whatever you want to call your relationship, you've got to put that same kind of laser focus into that to make sure your partner's happy. She brings you peace.
Starting point is 00:49:38 You bring her peace. She gives you happiness. But your partner can't give you happiness. People say, I found happiness. Happiness is not something you happiness. But your partner can't give you happiness. When people say, I found happiness, happiness is not something you find. Happiness is something you create. You create happiness. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Yeah. And in the process of you being happy, where you need to be, a person can't move you off that. They're just going to bring you more. More, yeah. And that's a lot of pressure putting on your partner too, huh?
Starting point is 00:50:11 And that's for y'all in the chat. You know, you're always relying on your man and you're always relying on your woman to make you happy. But happiness comes from within. You got to already be happy. You got, yeah, it's already got to be up in you. Because if it ain't in you and you're relying on someone else, you know how human nature lets you down.
Starting point is 00:50:30 Human nature lets you down every time. This is what you got to be careful. You got to be careful what you tell people because if people know what makes you tick, they can wind you up and make you tick when they want to. Now, if a person can make you happy, what else can they make you? Sad. Yeah. I mean, it doesn't matter yeah it doesn't matter how you flip the pancake it's still flat on both sides oh yeah they play with you like a puppet pull your strings when they want so
Starting point is 00:51:02 i'm happy for you bro you know hey bro you know I'm pulling for you I'm looking I'm looking to go you know your boy looking to go you know I might pull up with something you know I might pull up with something oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah listen February is on man is on now baby that's okay that's okay

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
Starting point is 00:53:22 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.
Starting point is 00:53:57 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... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
Starting point is 00:54:37 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. How would you handle that situation? Obviously, Rell. Rell is important to you. That's your mom.
Starting point is 00:55:23 Hey, Rell got it when my mama was here, huh? Real got contact when my mama was here. Matter of fact, I'm going to show you. You can't even see, right? Listen, remember I told you when my mama passed away? Her messages, right? You see my phone? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:41 You scrolling? All her messages still there. You want to know what her last message was to me? I ain't even erased yet. Hold on. Cut some real ass out. Second row. You laughing.
Starting point is 00:55:54 I ain't bullshitting. Second row at the mock funeral. Not a seat for me at the funeral. As for Sherelle, said to me, she had no contact information on me to let me know you were having a party. F*** that b**** too. Babe, my mama was hell, man, and everybody got it. There's a saying, I don't know how many people in the chat that are from Miami or any of my friends. There's a saying, you are really not a friend of mine. We are not really friends if you haven't been cursed out by my mama. So what I do try to do in situations like that,
Starting point is 00:56:29 I try to deescalate them as much as possible. But once she got that lick in her system, if my mama got that lick in her system, it's a wrap. Yeah. It's a wrap. There's nothing I can do. There's nothing I can say. It's a wrap. I believe there has to be a healthy level of respect on both sides. I understand because, you know, moms don't believe anybody is ever going to be good enough for their daughter. And fathers don't believe that anybody's ever going to be good enough for their daughter. But there has to be a level of respect there,
Starting point is 00:56:58 that this is the person that I choose. And whatever mistake I make, I'm going to have to stand in it. I'm going to have to own it. And you know, there might be a time down the road that you say, I told you so. But if I introduce you to somebody, I don't need you to this in this situation, notwithstanding, just be respectful because I'm going to demand, I'm going to demand my partner be respectful of you because you are my mom and you are an adult. You're older than she is. And so she's going to give you a level of respect. But in order to get respect, you're going to have to give respect. Yeah. And I don't want to be, listen, every time I come around,
Starting point is 00:57:32 I'm not going to be a referee. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. That's not what I'm here for. Yeah. You know, I want my partner to be around, to know my family, to my grandmother and my mom and my sister, my brother and family. But to come around and be and to be, you're not going to be disrespectful.
Starting point is 00:57:55 Yeah. You're not going to call out her name. And my partner, damn, she's not going to be disrespectful to you because at the end of the day, that's still my mom. Yeah. She gave me life. So we're going to be respectful. I demand respect on both sides. I demand it from my mom to respect my partner, and I demand my partner to respect my mom. Yeah, that's tough. That's tough, huh?
Starting point is 00:58:14 I mean, listen, I mean, your mom is a little different than my mom was. I mean, there are other people's moms. They operate different in that space when it comes to who their son might be dating. My mama don't give two you-know-what and didn't care who you were. You was going to get it. Any small little situation where
Starting point is 00:58:35 things don't most of the time go her way or you don't check in, it's just weird some of the things that would trigger her and I would do everything I can in my power to, to do, to deescalate situations the best way I can. And, you know, it was, it was hard for me to even take my mama places with me, huh?
Starting point is 00:58:56 It was hard to take her to important stuff, red carpet events, because I know, I know what's going to happen. I know, I know what's going to happen. And it never failed. It never failed. Even when I tried, it never failed. In chat, if y'all don't know about Hurricane Paula, you can go watch it in action. When we had, we did marriage bootcamp together.
Starting point is 00:59:18 My mom and I, we did marriage bootcamp together, family edition, where I tried to reunite and bring us a little closer together because we were always at wit's end. My grandma raised me, so I tried to do all I can to see if I can fix and rectify our situation
Starting point is 00:59:37 as mother and son. And boy, she showed her ass. She showed her ass. She showed her ass. She cussed everybody out. My thing is I'm never going to curse my mom. I'm never going to be disrespectful to my mom.
Starting point is 00:59:54 I'm just going to have a conversation with my mom and like mom look I'm an adult now. I'm not the little boy. Yes I am. I'm still your baby. I'm the one that you gave birth to on June 26, 1968 in Cook County Hospital. That's me. But I'm still your baby I'm the one that you gave birth to on June 26 1968 in Cook County Hospital that's me yeah but I'm a man now and I'm I'm well I'm in my right mind I'm old enough I'm wise enough to make decisions they might not be perfect my grandmother had just the opposite approach
Starting point is 01:00:22 my grandma's like I ain't gotta sleep with him if you like My grandma was like, I ain't got to sleep with him. If you like him, I love him. Because I ain't got to spend one day with him, son. That was my grandma. Anytime I brought somebody, I didn't bring a whole lot of people around my grandma, but she said, son, you're the one that got to live with him. Are you happy?
Starting point is 01:00:40 And if they make you happy, you being happy makes me happy. And if my happiness is dependent on you, you being happy, son happy and if my happiness is dependent on you you being happy son do it right but you know my my mom and look my mom is like and i get it but like i would i would never i would i wouldn't allow my mom um i probably was like you know take my take my take my partner home my girlfriend home and then i'm gonna come back and I'm going to have a conversation. I'm going to have a deep conversation with my mom. And I'm going to say, mom, that's disrespectful. I say, so in other words, you don't respect me.
Starting point is 01:01:13 So you don't care about me. You don't care what I want. You don't care what I like. You don't care about my happiness. This ain't about you, mom. Right. This is not about you. And I understand
Starting point is 01:01:25 you want what's best for your child. All parents, I ain't gonna say all, most parents want what's best for their child. If they have anything. Right.
Starting point is 01:01:34 Because I'm never, I'm never gonna be that parent that I prepare. Oh, you think you better than me. What parent worth anything says that to a child you think you better than me? Right.
Starting point is 01:01:45 But I will have a conversation with my mom that I thought that was very disrespectful. The way you talk to her, the way you talk to me. And mom, I'm going to always love you, but if you can't respect the person that I'm with,
Starting point is 01:02:03 I can't come around you. Shoot, that's it, bud. You see that little speech you gave? I always love you. But if you can't respect the person that I'm with, I can't come around you. Yeah. Shoot, that shit there, bud. Man, shit. You see that little speech you gave just now? Being nice about, man, I can't even come around? Man, but carry your black ass on there. Fuck you and that bitch.
Starting point is 01:02:19 I wish you could have met my mama, man. I don't know how many people from the chat or that's watching the show that's from the crib that know about my old girl. Boy, she ain't play that shit, boy. She ain't play that. It don't matter who he is. Everybody got it. Coaches, teachers,
Starting point is 01:02:35 friends, my girls, my kids. Those that have kids from everybody got it. Everybody was fair game. It was very different the way my grandmother approached my girlfriends or people that I was dealing with than my mom. Yeah. My grandma was like, you happy?
Starting point is 01:02:57 Take care of the babies. Hey, because I want them great-grands to be around X, Y, and Z. Alice?. Alice? Mary Alice? Different ballgame, huh? But the thing is that you take mom. Just because I have
Starting point is 01:03:18 somebody in my life, that doesn't mean I love you any less. Just because I got a kid from this person, that doesn't mean that's going to take any, that's going to take any of my love from you. You're my mom. You always going to be my mom. I'm always going to do for you. But now I have responsibilities that I have to do for someone else also. Now I might not be able to do as much as I could do because I have other responsibilities. First and foremost, that's one thing Barney and Mary Porter raised us to do. You take
Starting point is 01:03:45 care of your responsibilities. And I'm going to do that. Because I created it. So anytime you create something, you take care of it. Okay, mom, but I still got you. Normally, when you throw that many times, what are you?
Starting point is 01:04:01 You're behind. And teams will let you do that so they don't give up anything cheap or deep. Right. Just keep them in front of us. Yes. Yeah. I mean, I just, I mean, some of the guys and they just, I'm going to show you. I just want to know because Anthony Richardson said that the college was harder than the NFL.
Starting point is 01:04:21 I want to know if he still feels that way. Wait, he said that last year. Wait, he said it last year. Before he got hurt. He said it this year. Oh, he said it this year? I don't really think he meant that though. I don't know if he meant it or not. He would just be, he would probably be If a girl called you ugly, oh, she ain't
Starting point is 01:04:41 mean that. That ain't what she meant. She said it. Nah, if a girl I mean, nah, but you gotta listen. You know, a girl call you ugly, oh, she ain't mean that. That ain't what she meant. She said it. Nah, if a girl, I mean, nah, but you got to listen. You know, a girl call you ugly, sometimes she flirting, and she really don't mean that. But, you know, sometimes she said to keep you humble. No, don't keep me humble. My grandma called me ugly all my life growing up. I'm going to take your word for it.
Starting point is 01:04:59 I'm done with you. Oh, ugly self. Okay. Hey, I ain't trying to convince nobody. Did you mean that? You remember the other day you said I was ugly. Did you mean it? No, you said I'm good. I will keep it moving.
Starting point is 01:05:19 You can't take it personally. I ain't taking it personally. I ain't fit to be with... What I look like trying to sit somebody going to call me ugly and they think I'm going to be with... What I look like trying to get somebody to go call me ugly and they think I'm going to be with them? I mean... Come on. Ocho, we grown.
Starting point is 01:05:33 You do that in the fourth grade. When you were in elementary school, you got a crush on somebody, you hit them with your ugly self. You make me sick. We grown now. We don't play no type of games. I mean, she really like you? Nah, nah.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Shoot. Hey, I mean, real call me ugly sometimes. Was she mad at you? Yeah. Exactly. When are women the most honest? When they what?
Starting point is 01:06:03 When they're angry. When they what? Thank you. So maybe I am. You know, listen, I ain't top 10 in the world. I'm not a strong six and a half, especially with a haircut. If I get a haircut, oh, long as I'm above five, I'm straight. Now, when I ain't got no haircut and, you know, I ain't been on the waist, I'm above five, I'm straight. Now, when I ain't got no haircut and I ain't been on the waist, I'm a strong...
Starting point is 01:06:27 I mean, look. Yeah, I mean... I guess that's what you like. I'm looking for, like you said, I'm trying to be a strong 6'7". A 7'? Yeah, I mean, you say if you want
Starting point is 01:06:43 your girl, you wouldn't want your... I mean, you say... What want your girl, you wouldn't want your, you want your, so, I mean, you say, what would you say, real to what, nine, ten? A nine? Nah, real, real. She probably, I give seven and a half. Hey, real, you heard me. Nah, she ain't there. Nisa ain't there.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Hey, listen, my dog, man, she about a 10. I outkicked McCurdy, though. You did? I outkicked McCurdy. And the only reason she probably... Listen, the only reason she with me is I won because of my personality. That's it.
Starting point is 01:07:19 I'm just being honest. Because you know what they say, if you can make a woman laugh, you can laugh. I ain't going to say it. You know what I'm trying to say. I get what you're saying. Quit. I look. It just depends.
Starting point is 01:07:37 I mean, look. There's them lookers that's going to get you like... You got some Everybody, there's them lookers that, you know, that's going to get you like. Yeah. You got some steppers that's going to make you do a double take. Like, damn. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:52 They walk in the room and everybody here. Yeah. And then you got one. You got something. Did you see her? Nah. Listen, I mean, obviously, depending on who you are, especially as a male, sometimes you want a seven. Sometimes you want a six and a half because you take a six and a half and you get a hair, a feet, and a nails done.
Starting point is 01:08:11 You get a nice back. You get a face beat. Oh, she good. And then you ain't got to worry about everybody after. You ain't got to worry about a half temptation and all that. You got to realize the moment you can get you a two. The moment Ocho, so somebody going to want her because they want what Ocho got. That's how it works.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Make it see a woman walk by a thousand times. Right, right. But let somebody, boy, bro, you saw her walk by this, she been working in this office for four years. She been single. Ain't nobody,
Starting point is 01:08:45 she ain't mentioned nothing. No flowers have never come. No cars have never come. You've never seen her go out like, oh, I gotta go. I'm going to meet somebody for lunch or for coffee. But the moment somebody show a little interest, I'll be down. Man, you know
Starting point is 01:09:02 Stephanie look good mother they do that all the time Ocho but you know like I said look I'm what I am I got a nice personality I can carry a conversation I'm what I am what you see is what you get you know like I said when I was
Starting point is 01:09:24 when I was growing up Ocho in college in college and high school, you know, you got a homeboy. Because women, a lot of times, you ain't going to see five or six tens together because they're going to be bickering. So you're going to find one ten, eight, seven, and they're going to be about three or four twos and fues. They're going to be a couple of tw tools and fumes. They're going to be a couple of tools and fumes in there, Ocho. Now, the one thing about women, they're not going to splinter. Guys, if five or six guys go out together
Starting point is 01:09:55 and the people say, hey, you know, hey, what you doing? Let's go get some, hey, bro, check this out. I'll holler at y'all. Hey, such and such, I'm going blah, blah, blah. Women don't splinter like that. So you got to have somebody that'll take for them tools and you got to have somebody take one for the team.
Starting point is 01:10:13 Right. That's why my homeboy would come in at the shop. I got you. But you know my girl, she ain't got nobody. He got her. I'm going to break him off. I'm going to give him about $300 so you know he can go ahead and do what he need to do
Starting point is 01:10:28 keep on occupying well I keep this one occupied but you not going to find no 5, 6, 7, 10s together because there's too many strong personalities and if somebody talked to one of them oh that be he be in my D
Starting point is 01:10:43 you know they be my D that's community that's community pee pee anyway I ain't want it so it's going to cause confusion more times than not women they have one or two that look really really attractive but you know they're going to have about three or four twos infused with them now Ocho
Starting point is 01:11:00 yeah always always I ain't taking one for the team. Nah, I wasn't either. I ain't going to doubt that in me. Man, come on. Come on, Shark. No, ain't no come on, Shark.
Starting point is 01:11:13 No way or nah. Come on, bro. Don't put your boy out there like this. Man. But that happens, Ocho. But like you said, I look. I can talk, carry on. But like you said, I look. I can talk, carry on a conversation.
Starting point is 01:11:29 I got a nice personality. Hey, here's what it is. Hey, am I 10? No, I'm good. I'm good. I'm good what I am. I'm 56, Ocho. I move a little. I move a little slow.
Starting point is 01:11:40 I got the same haircut I had since 1972. Starting to recede a little bit. Getting a little bit in the top. But what you see is what you get. Well, I mean, listen. I mean, me, when I got a haircut, when I got a haircut and I put on some clothes, boy, I'm about a nine and a half. I'm just going to be honest with you.
Starting point is 01:12:03 I'm about like all bull. Like when I really like put that shit on, you. Yeah. I'm about, like, all bull. Like, when I really, like, put that shit on, boy, I, like, I be somebody different, you know? And I walk different, you know? Yeah. And I'm not cocky. I'm convinced. You know? Yes, it is what it is.
Starting point is 01:12:19 But you rarely catch me in those occasions because I always look like a bum. And I always repeat the same outfit three, four times, you know, a week because I don't really care. I mean, when you had a job where you dressed up every day, 240 days a year, shirt and tie, shirt and tie, 240 days out of 365. Bro, I, you know, I ain't really trying to dress up like that now. I still, you know, have to dress up. You know, I don't have to wear a tie. I don't wear a tie that much anymore. But I still dress up two days a week, occasionally three days a week.
Starting point is 01:12:48 Man, when I'm going, you know, like, that's what you wear? Look, this is what you get. This is what you get now. If you think you're going to see somebody out there, some LV or some Dior, that ain't, that ain't me. That ain't me. Now them young boys, hey, they can have
Starting point is 01:13:04 all that. They got it. But that ain't me. So young boys, they can have all that. They got it. But that ain't me. I'm going to address my age. I ain't coming in with all that other stuff. That ain't me, Ocho. I'm perfectly good at my athleisure. Yeah. Every time I spring,
