Hold on, this is a good question.
Now I really want to know the answer to this
because she's going to be able to say it right off the bat.
Hold on.
Okay. Okay.
She said
attention.
Attention and affection.
Yeah.
What?
I know what you're doing.
Attention.
She said when you didn't have anything,
as long as you have something to occupy your time,
you're good.
But when you don't have anything to occupy your time,
you want her to be attentive to you.
Matter of fact,
I'm so glad you said that.
Speaking of,
we got into it again.
We got into it again. What happened? I bullshit you now, and I'm not even playing said that. Speaking of, we got into it again. We got into it again.
I bullshit you not, and I'm not even playing it.
She right here.
You know, y'all have First Watch out there where you at?
Yeah, First Watch.
It's like a Denny's IHOP, a little bit more.
I don't want to use the word upscale, but a little more.
Yeah, so I mean eating breakfast, right?
I'm eating breakfast.
I get my normal.
I get my French toast.
And I get my steak and eggs, right?
And I get my fruit bowl.
So she called my phone.
So I placed the phone up.
I got the phone in my hand.
And I'm eating my food.
So I got my sunglasses. I got and I'm eating my food. So I got my sunglasses.
I got my sunglasses sitting on my head.
My sunglasses fall by accident, right?
Not by accident.
And I put them back up real fast.
And the waitress was in front of me.
Rail, think somebody's sitting there.
She say, man, who in the is that sitting in front of you?
I know you're not
playing with me.
Put your glasses back down.
So I took my glasses.
I'm like, and I put them down on the table.
She's like, Chad, don't you play with me.
Who in the hell is this?
And she think it's funny.
She said, I hear you.
I said, what are you talking about?
Turn the camera around. I turn the camera around. He didn't turn the camera around. He didn't turn the camera around. She said, I hear you in the background real laughing. What are you talking about? Turn the camera around.
I turn the camera around.
He didn't turn the camera around.
He didn't turn the camera around.
Hold on, listen.
I turn the camera around.
My plate of food is right there.
My French toast, I had finished already.
And I'm eating my steak and eggs.
I'm like, man, what is your problem?
Then the waitress comes right back out right again.
And now the waitress nervous because she can hear her cursing.
And I'm confused
it was it was so it was so embarrassing because i i didn't want to snap and the waitress was like
the waitress got scared because she could hear a cursing so the waitress went away the first time
and she came back to make sure everything was okay. That was her.
Boy, she snapped.
Put your glasses back down.
Tell him how you
did it. Don't laugh.
Put your glasses back down.
I didn't say that.
No.
Did you tell him
he was playing in your face real?
That's what I said.
No, say how you said it.
Say how you said it over the phone.
I'm not just saying.
Say it just how you said it.
No.
Man, she was talking to me
like I'm not even Ocho.
Like she, like,
we almost got into it.
But again,
she apologized,
said I was sorry because when my
glasses fell
and they went back up she saw the
reflection of the waitress
sitting in front of me and it was her
and by the time I
it dawned on me what she was talking about because she was confusing
me because instead of just communicating and talking
normal she was screaming like she
was my homeboy and like she wanted to fight
I had I had a tone in my voice but I don't scream talking normal, she was screaming like she was my homeboy and like she wanted to fight.
I had a tone in my voice but I don't scream.
I just had authority.
Yeah.
But you just let him know
the seriousness of what you were saying.
I was about to pull up on you.
I was about to pull up, baby.
Hey, that's about
straight hood. Straight out the hood.
Out the hood.
But, sorry about that.
But go ahead. I forgot to tell you about that story, man.
Yeah, my bad.
Now it's time for our last segment, and it's a Q&A.

No invite. Woo!
With Ocho looking clean.
Hey, you see me, Gil?
Where you at, Gil? Hey, Gil.
See, listen. A lot of people will look at it, right?
And you think it's very expensive.
This one is for $200.
It's for $200.
I'm surprised it cost that much. Yeah.
I pulled one thread and it undressed you.
Yeah, you probably would.
But yeah, I got it tailored, right?
I got it tailored to fit, you know, real slim fit.
Because, you know, I got a model-type body.

What rail tell you?
Huh?
What rail tell you today?
You know what?
That she be hating.
Yeah, I ain't no hating.
What rail say?
Rail told me you need to get back in the gym.
So that kind of stung a little bit, because that's like me, me dating her and saying like,
oh, baby, you know, you need to unbig your back.
How would Raelle feel if I said, huh?
She said, get in the gym.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But listen, I'm a stay-at-home father now.

What they used to say, scratch your ass and get glass.
Yes.
All right.
Right now, you're upset.
I'm mad, no bullshit.
Animals get mad, humans get upset.
So right now you're upset, you have a little disagreement.
You know, Rell said it was rainy outside,
you said it's 70 and sunny, and y'all have a little disagreement. You know, Rel said it was rainy outside, you said it's 70 and sunny,
and y'all have a little disagreement.

She can stay.
Rel is a standalone.
There is not a whole lot of women that can stand alone.
Rel can carry her own.
And I know sometimes, look, I'm a lot older than you, Ocho.
And I'm speaking from experience.
I'm speaking from experience. And it's easy, like when you get upset with your partner,
and the first thing you go,

It wasn't able to happen, but here you are in Houston.
So, what do you think?
I mean, you've been to Houston plenty of times, I'm sure.
I love Houston.
Listen, as soon as I landed, Houston.
I was thinking about opening up a brokerage here, but Houston is like... If I was to ever relocate, I probably would
relocate to Houston.
Ocho, we might be neighbors.
If I ever

I said, oh, Ocho, they got, what do they do that at?
But that was a choice for me to be a stay-at-home father.
That was a choice of mine, but I can also un-retire
and go back to doing what I do.
It's kind of hard, Ocho.
Huh?
I mean, you stop working for a minute,

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,
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, she was being thirsty for me.
No, I sent some hard eyes.
You did?
I did.
Okay.
You knew what you wanted.
So, crazy thing is,
Chad has always been
my celebrity crush.
Okay.

Yes, you did.
We went to Green Bay.
We talked.
And I was actually surprised because the guy who I thought I knew was a different person.
Like, he spoke a lot. Very intellectual. 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.
He switched it up on me.
And we connected just like that.
I tried to be a gentleman.
You know, the first time coming in town.

She came to Green Bay I was working doing my stuff with EA the game it was that the Packers and whatever whoever I think the Bears

That's what I'm talking about, real.
Y'all see.
Man, listen.
We both grown adults.
I mean, we grown, right?
Yes.
Yeah, and from that day on, we ain't separate.
So we coming up on five years.
Coming up on five years.
And the wedding is planned for February
25 right
2-2-2-25
2-2-2-25
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, that's my next destination. So you want to do like a saf that you would like to go to
So you want to do like you want to do like a safari you want to go to the Seychelles you want to go to
Zanzibar
You don't like to travel
Everywhere she want to go out and been two, three times already. No, you have not.
Names away.
Names away, I ain't been yet.
Our first place was the Maldives.
You never went there.
We went together.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Exactly.
But that don't count
because ain't nothing out there.
You haven't been to Dubai.
I just, ain't nothing out there for me.
It is.
It's a lot.
What's the only reason I travel?
To do what?
The only reason I travel
is to watch what? Soccer. I mean, even the,'s the only reason I travel? To do what? The only reason I travel is to watch what?
Soccer.
I mean, even they know that.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
I gave you a little catapult now.
Don't do me, okay? You did, you did. I gave you a little catapult now. Don't do me.
You did. I'm going to give you
your credit.
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.
And I don't know nothing about real estate.
I don't know nothing about real estate at all.
He supports a lot and I'm truly grateful for that.
I'm in the streets
What streets?
In the sheets
Oh
Streets
No you're not
I called the other day I said let's go do something
I'm all ready to be here
Oh let me tell y'all

Like blah blah blah blah blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, she in the doghouse.
I leave early, go back to the hotel because I was tired.
I had an early flight back to Tampa.
Where you staying at?
I was like, I thought you was going out with Andre there.
That's not.
She had my watch.
I didn't have shit. No, I had left my watch in her purse. I just wanted to she had my watch. I didn't have shit.
I had left my watch in her purse.
I just wanted to go get my watch.

You like dating the process all over again.
It's like first time, like, hey, where you at?
You knocked on the door?

that's my dog
man look here man y'all y'all y'all amazing together. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
I like that.
I like that.
I like that.
I like where you look.
Own it.
Yeah.
Yeah, that my dog.
That my dog.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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,
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.
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?
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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?
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
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
every blue moon, I was springing a little high designer.
Yeah.
Yeah, I do a little something.
Air blue moon, air blue moon.
Where was I at? Houston.
Houston. You know Houston, I have
a little designer short set. Oh, you know
a little something.
You know,
Houston, you know what happened in Houston.
You know what I'm saying? What happened in
Houston, stayed in Houston.
Right, right, right, right.
Yeah.
