All right, Ocho, let's get right into it. The worst kept secret, probably since Shaq, LeBron, and Tim Duncan came out, who was going to be the number one overall pick in the WNBA draft and the Indiana Fever selected, Caitlin Clark, guard out of University of Iowa. No surprise there. The Sparks chose Stanford on Cameron Brink. Cameron Brink, yep.

She'll stay in California. We'll give the Sparks a two-way player. A prolific scorer, Naismith, a defensive player of the year. The Sparks also needed to replace Nneka Abumake who left for Seattle in pre-agency. Angel Reese went seventh to the Chicago Sky.

So here's the picks. Indiana Fever selected Kaitlyn Clark, number one. The Sparks selected Cameron Brink, number two. Chicago Sky selected Camilla Cardosa, number four. The Sparks also had two top five picks,

Ricky Jackson of Tennessee, the Dallas Wings, J.C. Sheldon, Ohio State, Washington Mystics, selected Aaliyah Edwards, forward out of UConn. Angel Reese was selected seventh out of the Chicago Sky. The Minnesota Lynx made a trade, Alyssa Peely from Utah,

and Dallas Wings' Carla Lett from France. So that was your top ten. No surprise. Really, I don't think there's any surprises, especially the top four. We know Clark was going to be number one. All indications that Brink was going to be two. Cardoso was going to be three. Ricky Jackson was going to be two, Cardoso was going to be three, Ricky Jackson was going to be four.

But the Chicago Sky traded back up to seven to select Angel Reese. And so that's how it played out. Any surprises to you? No, no surprises to me. Honestly, I thought Miss thought Miss Miss Reese. I thought Miss Reese would win earlier. But those that went before all fit very well.

And they were team needs, you know, based on where they went. But I think what I really like is Camila Cardoza and Angel Reese actually going to the same team. Yeah, you go from competing. Now you go to playing together. Yeah, and I think I think that's really dope for them. Outside of that, I'm excited. I'm excited. The funny thing, I'm a little bit more excited for

watching the WNBA coming up this following season as opposed to I am watching NBA. I ain't really watching NBA all season. I've been to two games all year. I've been to that Philly game, that Philly game when the B dropped 70, and I went to that Knicks game not too long ago when Jalen Brunson was out, but I had a chance to sit in the garden.

But I'm more excited to goddamn watch the WNBA, this upcoming season. So this is dope. I think this is something I'm going to get myself into so I can talk a little bit more about it, the way I can talk about soccer, the way I can talk about boxing, and the way I can talk about tennis,

and football for that matter. But I'm excited. Yes, Kaylin Clark going number one overall. She goes, she teams up with last year's number one overall pick, Aaliyah Boston, who's from University of South Carolina. And so now she's going to have better players around her. We know she has a great shot, has great basketball IQ. She can facilitate the basketball because she led the nation in scoring

and she led the nation in assists. Those things translate. So if she's having an off-night shooting, she can make it easier shots for her teammates. You know, her impact on the game is already being felt because 36 of her games are going to be nationally televised.

Never in the history of the WNBA has that ever happened before. That is impact. Butts happened before. That is impact. Butts in seat. That is impact. Look at the Lakers. When they go on the road, there are more teams there to watch LeBron and the Lakers than watch their team. As opposed to the team plan. Same thing with Steph Curry.

That is impact. She's going to have that type of impact. And we see this rise in women's sports and so that's great for all women because there was a time that there was no WNBA and the women had to go overseas so it's nice

to see that sponsors and advertisers and fans alike are starting to get behind these women's sports and we're starting to see because it's something to give the young girls that's growing up something to look forward to. We know our young guys, young men, boys, they have football, they have basketball, they

have soccer. They have so many sports to look forward to. But women is not like that. So for them to have the for the WNBA to have a rise in popularity, it seems like advertising and sponsors are starting to get behind. I think Caitlin Clark is going to be at the forefront of that. them to have the for the WNBA to have a rise in popularity yeah it seems like advertising the sponsors are starting to get behind I think Caitlin Clark is going to be at the forefront of that but this is a great this is a great great group of young ladies Cameron Brink, Camila Cardoza, Ricky Jackson, Jason Sheldon I am so excited and Angel Reed's rounding out going to Chicago

that's great uh I think all things being equal she could have gone to Los Angeles which would have been great, go to New York that's great, but Chicago is not a bad option, not at all that's a big market that's a big market I'm excited for these young ladies, congratulations to all the

women and as I tweeted out earlier today Ocho, this is not the end of your journey a new journey starts now. Just starting. Now, hey, the greatest ladies play here. Show you why.

Show you why now. It's not about what you've done. Hey, everybody at this level accomplished something. Now, you're zero and zero. You've accomplished nothing

in the WNBA. Now go show you why. So I'm excited for all these young ladies congratulations young ladies to all those that that stood behind you moms dad coaches our grandparents brothers and sisters and loved ones alike this is a dream come true but this is not the end of your dream this is only the beginning of it so congratulations to all those ladies and much success. And if I'm not mistaken, I think the first game was, what, May 14th? So less than a month away. Wait, already? Already, yeah.

Yeah. And the ladies were impeccable. Kayla Clark had on Prada. Cameron Brink had the slit. Nice, like he's walking the red carpet. And you know Angel was going to do it. You know Bayou Barbie was going to come on with it. Yeah, she going to kill it.

She going to kill it every time. Everybody has their own unique look and own unique style and fashion and fashion-forward way of expressing themselves. Yeah. I like it. I do, too. That's one thing I like about the WNBA players. Man, them girls, man, them girls put that shit on now.

Oh, they put it on? They put that shit on. But when it's time to come play, man, I enjoy it. Some very, very, very, very girls put that shit on now. Oh, they, they put it on. They put that shit on, but when it's time to come play, man, I enjoyed some very, very, very, very stylish woman.

Very stylish. They, they were, they were very stylish. They, they put on, but pretty soon it's time to put, hey,

it's time to put that hair up on a ponytail and put them gym shorts on. It's time to put up the couture. It's time to put on some gym shorts and let's go do this. Let's go do this. This is what we came to do. So congratulations young lady. Well deserved.

Well earned. Congratulations to all the people that stood behind them and backed them because this no one gets here alone. And so again, congratulations and I'm extremely happy for each and every one of these young ladies that was drafted. Now it's time for our first segment of the night, Ocho.

And it's a news cap. The Eagles have extended former Heisman Trophy winner, first-round pick Devontae Smith to a three-year deal, $75 million. Devontae Smith contracts call for-year deal, $75 million. Devontae Smith contracts call for $51 million in guaranteed money. Devontae Smith is the Eagles' third major extension of the offseason. Landon Dixon, four years, $84 million. Jordan Maialata, three years, $66 million. The Eagles now have Devontae Smith, Jalen Hurts, Landon Dixon, and Jordan Maialata, all secured to the year 2029. Devontae Smith has the most receptions, 240,

and receiving yards, 3,178, through the first three seasons in Eagles history. The Eagles appear to have wanted a head start on wide receivers market as they extended Devontae Smith prior to the extension of other notable receivers. Smith was selected 10th overall in the 2021 draft. The notable receivers from the 2020 NFL draft who are still in line for a contract extension have

not received them yet. T. Higgins, C.D. Lamb, Brandon Ayuk, and Justin Jefferson. Smith says, you know what, hey bro, y'all do what y'all do, but I got to do what's in the best interest of my family. And in the best interest of my family,

I'm going to get a head start on this thing. So y'all do what y'all do. I'm going to take this 75, three-year, $75 million, 51 guaranteed. And I'm going to get on up out of here. And the most important thing about it is, is the guarantee. What is guaranteed?

What am I getting? Forget what the numbers look. I know it looks pretty. Three for 75. No, let me see the real numbers. Let me break down what I'm really earning within that timeframe and what is coming to me, come hell or high water if I get hurt, no matter what, it's going to be in my pocket. It's going to be in my pocket. Yeah, for sure. Listen, them three years from to go by so fast, he's going to double up and come right back to the bank. He's going to double up and have that Brink truck

back on up because I don't see Smitty slowing down anytime soon, especially in that offense that he's in. He's going to be productive the next three years. So he's going to see another payday. I like the fact, Ojo,

he's not waiting around to see what others because the worst mistake people can make sometimes is to measure your value by what somebody else got. We see that an awful lot. Well, he got that. Wait, what? That ain't got nothing to do with you. You're not over there.

You're right here. How am I going to tell a man, hey, they got cake over there and I'm in a hardware store. I can only get hammer and nails or a song. That's all I get. That's all I can get over here. That's all I can get in a hardware store. They're in a grocery store.

So you're not where they are. So you can't say, well, they did this. Never measure your worth by what someone else got. And so if you do that, you'll be fine. And so if you do that, you'll be fine. And so he's like,

look, I got to worry about my financial, me. He got a wife, I think he got a wife or a girlfriend, a kid, I think he just had a newborn within the last six months.

And so, if he feels comfortable with it, let that rock. Let that rock. Like you said, hey, get that money, get that money early.

How old is he? 24, 25? He number 25. Let that rock. Like you said, hey, get that money, get that money early. How old is he? 24, 25? He number 25. 25, yes. He number 25.

He go ahead and ball out like he's been balling out. They'll come back and see him again at 28. Oh, yeah. Yeah, most definitely. Real,

real quick. So, congratulations, Smitty. He's one of the first guys that I had on my podcast at Club Shea Shea Shea actually we did it here

in my backyard in the garage and so he had just won the Heisman won all the awards that year so congratulations in order to him yeah yeah and he's very deserving you know what else you know what else you know what Devante nutrition

you know what his diet is what is it McDonald's I just wanted to throw that out there I just wanted to throw that out there for you real quick You know what else? You know what Devontae nutrition, you know what his diet is? What is it? McDonald's. I just wanted to throw that out there. I just wanted to throw that out there for you real quick. I just wanted to have that. Hey, I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

I just wanted to throw that out there for you real quick. You see how much Devontae weigh? You see how much I weigh? He about 180, 190. Devontae ain't never seen 180. Devontae, I guarantee you, Devontae can come right now,

look through my keyhole with both eyes. I'm just saying. I'm just saying, Ocho. I guarantee you. Hold on, hold on. Chill, you ain't seen him lately. He been in the weight room. He about 190 right now.

Look at him. I'm telling you, he about 190. Hold on, Ocho. This is what we know because we played long enough. Whatever they list you as, you up under that. Especially with you.

He probably about 165, 163. I'm telling you, he done put on some weight this offseason. You know, he done bulked up. I guarantee you, when you see him this year, you're going to be like,

God damn, where you been working? He about 190. I kid you not. You'll see. Man, that joke was skinny, man. That's all. When I saw him be skinny, the man swallowed. I watched it go all that joke was skinny, man. That's all I want.

That's all I want to be skinny. The man swallow, I watch it go all the way down to his stomach. That's how skinny, I'm just saying, Ocho. That's how skinny the man is. I watch it go all the way down.

I say, well, damn. Hey, come on, man. Don't try to be the only one like that. Nah, he good people. Yeah, he good people. He really good people. Real good dude. Real good dude.

I'm Michael Kasson, 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. Anything But Ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content. The term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.

And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What happened with C.D. Lamb, what? Here we go. C.D. Lamb and Justin Jefferson skipped workout-admitted contract talks. The pair of NFL top receivers decided not to show up to voluntary workouts on Monday in the midst of contracts talk.

I don't blame them. Both players are set to hit free agency in 2025 and will attempt to work out a long-term contract in order to stay with the organization. C.D. Lamb will be playing on a fifth-year option worth $18 million. CeeDee's coming off a career year in which he led all NFL players with 135

receptions. He racked up 1,749 yards while finding the end zone 12 times. Jefferson has a base salary of $20 million after the Vikings exercised his fifth- option the 24 year old skipped voluntary workouts in 2023 although he showed up for the team's mandatory minicamp i don't blame

him anything that's voluntary voluntary means it's on my own free volition i decide to come that's what volunteering is i volunteer my service you want me to come? Make it mandatory. I ain't giving you no money back. Just Jefferson and the Vikings nearly reached an agreement in 2023, although the deal fell apart and never was finalized. What you got? Man, them boys, listen.

Them boys ain't playing by their money, man. They ain't playing by their money. And sometimes, you know what? You got to, it's one thing to love the game of what? It's one thing to love the game of football. It's one thing to love it and be passionate about it as a player, but you know what that business

will do to you? They'll use it against you when it's pay time. Oh, absolutely. Listen, they will lose your love for the game of football and use it against you when it's time to get paid because they know, you know what? He loves the game so much, he gonna come in anyway. He gonna show the game so much. He's going to come in. He's going to come in anyway.

Oh, he's going to show up to camp anyway. He's going to show up to camp. So that, that notion, you got to be careful. You got to understand. You got to play the game,

especially when it comes to this business. It's one thing to love and be passionate about the game and love your team and be loyal to your teammates and all this. There's no, I am a team player. All that shit sound good until it's time for you to get paid and the business shows you exactly how dirty and ugly you can get. There's no reason CeeDee Lamb should not be paid at this point because the resume speaks for itself.

There's no reason Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, I'm sure it takes time. You know, you got to do the numbers and all that stuff. You got to do the books. There's a lot that goes into it. But you already know these individuals are coming up. You already knew you had... Budget.

Voluntary. You already knew you had voluntary camp coming up. You would want your best players in camp at that time. You would want them in time. So why even play this game? You did the same goddamn shit in Dallas. You did the same shit with Goddamn Ezekiel Elliott. You had Zeke out there on the beach in Cabo, wherever he was at, working out.

He was training, keeping himself. Why even play this game? And then they come in the camp. You know how different it is. You could train 100 times a day away from football. But when you're in that structured environment, it's completely different. It's completely different. You think

you're in shape working by yourself until you get out there with 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 and you're getting pushed around and moved around. It's a little bit different. You get in shape by playing football. That's how you get in football shape. Guys play basketball, they do open runs because you get in shape by playing football. That's how you get in football shape.

Period. Guys play basketball, they do open runs. Yeah. Because you get in shape playing basketball. Yeah. And so that's what you need to do. But I don't have a problem with the guys. Look, it's early.

Now, once training camp roll around and they're not in camp, now we're going to have something to really talk about, Ocho. That's even worse, though. Why do teams play this game? Why? Why not allow him to be in camp

happy, for one, like you do your quarterbacks. You take care of your quarterbacks to make sure they're happy and have nothing going on in their head mentally, so they're clear. They have a clear mind, ready to go in. But when it comes to the skill position, they always got to fight tooth and nail. You got to drag them through the mud,

no matter how good they are. You wait to the last minute. I don't know what point you're trying to prove. Okay, we're going to take care of that. Two minutes before camp starts. Two minutes before camp starts, he'll go cross the ticker. Oh, so-and-so finally signed.

Oh, Joe. Oh, man. The Cowboys won the Super Bowl. Emmitt Smith contract, he won and negotiated. He missed the first two games of 93. Emmitt Smith is the all-time leading rusher. And they made him hold out two games. They lost both of those games, and Jerry came to his senses and got him in.

Yeah. Yes. So, from an owner's perspective, I know it's hard for us to think like owners. I think from that business business mindset on the other side of the spectrum. What is it that they're doing? What purpose are they as owners? Do they do in withholding, giving the contract until the last minute? Or just forcing you? The word, you remember last week, Ocho, I asked you to spell the word precedent? Right. They don't want to set a precedent. They don't want a situation where I ask, okay, the team just gave in.

Let's just say CD wants $35 million. A year. Team probably offering $25 million. Oh, no. No, don't lowball him. Okay, but go ahead that's a okay now okay you come down i come up you come down how soon do we meet right that's how they're trying to look at it the problem that they're running into is that you got that beast over on the other side of the ball, Michael. Oh, yeah.

You see what Miles Garrett got? Yeah. You see what Joey Bosa got? You see what T.J. Watt got? Right, right, right, right, right. Yeah. And that was two and three years ago. Inflation.

Yeah. What you could buy, what you could get with a hundred million guarantee you can't get today. Michael said, give me my money. Yeah, you're right. Because here's the thing. Oh,

Joe, this is a ball of water. Yeah, that's all it is. Now, some places that ball of water, you can get it for a dollar someplace. You can get it for $2.

Right. Go to the ballpark, it might cost you $10. The value of the water is determined by where you are. You see, sometimes, Ocho, you have to look at it. If my value isn't right here, I might be in the wrong place. I might need to go somewhere else where my value is a little higher. Now that's a bottle of water. I don't care what they say. It could have been in the old day, could have packaged it in Switzerland or Antarctica or the Ozarks.

But at the end of the day, it quenches your thirst. And some of it costs you a dollar some of it costs you five dollars some of it might cost you twenty the only difference is where you purchase it from determines the value of it where you're playing

determines the value so maybe you might hey, Ocho, because guess what if I take this watch, I might take it to the pawn shop. Pawn shop might say, man, I know what it's worth, but you coming in here, so obviously you need the money. I ain't going to give you what it's worth. I might give you $5,000.

Your homie on the street said, man, I like that. I ain't never seen that. I might give you $10,000. You might take it to the auction. They're like, well, dang, Rolex only produced 100 of these. This was in great shape. I think it might be worth X. You see?

It's the same watch. Three different people valued it differently. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. I like that. Okay. You don't value it't value also in a relationship it's the same yeah she he might not value you you might have to leave right and where somebody else values you what you do more than what you're currently being valued right here.

But you can't be afraid to leave. I like that. You can't be afraid to leave. You can't, Ocho. A lot of times people are afraid. They're afraid of the unknown. See, this is why people are afraid of the dark and not the day. Because I can't see that well at night.

Something might be lurking behind that door. The boogeyman might be out there. See, that's the difference between, that's what faith is. You know what? People need to hear what you're saying right now. Especially with that faith and that afraid to leave because of the value and whoever you, you might be in a situation where you're not feeling valued or you're not valued in general.

Ladies, if you listen, fellas, if you got somebody you're dealing with, it's not easy. It's not easy. I know it's not easy, but still,

just to put a little bug in your ear, just to put a little bug in your ear, you saying this tonight for a reason. It's going to hit somebody. Yeah reason you saying this tonight for a reason it's it's gonna hit somebody yeah you saying it tonight for a reason this came up tonight for a reason but somebody that's listening i'm telling you because you're in a situation where the person you went is not valuing you and whatever it is you bring to the table it's a very it's a situation no joe where my trainer thought it's the bible teaches us it says god says have faith see faith is is believing with not knowing god said if you if you believe if you say you got to believe first and i'll show you what is man the opposite man say show me and i'll show you. What is man? The opposite. Man say, show me and I'll believe you. Right. And so most people, you need

to show it to them before they believe it. Right. Right. But faith is the is taking that leap of faith is the unknown. But believing. Someone asked me, said, well, Shannon, when your situation ended at uh uh understood undisputed

how did you know i say i don't gamble anymore i said but if i go to if i go to vegas and i play roulette i'm betting on black i'm gonna bet on me come on now you see the problem that people, the people underestimate me because they, they, they forget where I came from. Yeah. This is the easiest situation that I've ever had to leave. Right. Do you understand where my family came from and how my brother and I got it out of the mud? Literally.

Right. So you mean to tell me I can't? Remember, what did I tell you? If I'd done it before, I can do it again. Oh, yeah, most definitely. Every time. Barney Porter used to tell my brother and I, he said, boy, anytime I take y'all somewhere,

you should always be able to get back. If I take you somewhere, he would always tell me and my brother, if I take you somewhere one time, you should get back. Well, hell, I was on TV before doing what I did.

You mean to tell me I couldn't get back on TV and do it again? If I got an opportunity, you mean to tell me that if I, if I, if I did this with club, Shay, Shay, you mean to tell me I couldn't get with a host,

a co-host and and create Nightcap? You lying to me. Y'all nothing to tell me what I can't do. Just tell me it hadn't been done yet. Because sometimes people try to force their beliefs off on you. Just because you can't do it, that don't mean I can't do it.

I can't. Listen, everything is possible. Everything is possible. You put your mind to it. You put your mind to it. You got your little discipline. You put your mind to it. Yes!

And you're willing to execute a plan to get it done. Everything and anything is possible. And you know why I knew I could do it, Ocho? Because think about how hard I worked for the Broncos, how hard I worked for the Ravens, how hard I work for the Ravens, how hard I work for CBS and Fox. So you mean to tell me I'm going to deny myself vacation and everything for them,

but I can't do it for my own? I can't do it for Club Shea Shea? I can't do it for nightcap? That's mine? Yeah. And that's what people don't understand. People will work themselves to the bone on somebody else's job and will give less than half the effort for their own. And then wonder why. I don't know why. Just think about if you had worked as hard as you did on Mr.

Charlie's job as you did for 10, 15 years as you when you got your own. Well, I don't feel like going to work today, so I ain't got to go to work today. See? No. I'm going to show up coming hell of hot water. I'm going to have to be gravely ill not for me to show up. Because

guess what? There were some times I didn't feel like taking my ass to work, but I went and got on that man clock. I can get on my clock. Yeah. That's the approach you have to have, people. That's the mindset that you have to have.

If you can work that hard for somebody else, you should be damn willing to work that hard for your damn self. Yeah. You got to want it. Can't nobody want it for you. Can't nobody want it for you. Nah. And that's the number one thing I tell my kids.

I can't want something for you more than you want it for yourself. Right. Because at the end of the day, oh yeah, daddy pushing me, daddy pushing me. And then as soon as daddy turned around, you were like,

nah, I don't really want to do that. Yeah. And I always told him, you know, hey, do what you want. Because I've lived that. My dream,

my whole dream was to get great out of this environment. Now, if that's that's not your dream they say you're not upset your son didn't play football hell no that was my dream that wasn't his yeah yeah the last thing I wanted for my kids to be was 30 years old and say well daddy I only did this because of you no hell you didn't you chose that you chose that major because that's what you wanted to do you chose that job because that's what you want to do Shannon You chose that job because that's what you want to do. Shannon did what he wanted to do. Shannon didn't push you in any direction. Once you chose the direction, I said, okay, because this is what you're going to have to do.

So no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't, I didn't. Yeah. Did I push my kids? Yes. Be better. Be humble. But not just, oh, son oh son you gotta play football now you

he don't want to play now you don't want okay fine that was my dream right i don't force my dreams off on my kids the hard work yes absolutely absolutely i'll make sure you're gonna work hard now i said hey at the sharp the Sharp household, it only got it only got one room for one lazy mofo, I'm in I'm the only lazy mofo that can lay here so

Devontae Adams rejects trade chatter, if I wanted to be gone, I'd be gone, for more than a year, trade rumors surrounding Devontae Adams have circulated based on multiple factors, including coaching change. And he's 31 years of age, seeking to play for a clear contender. Speaking to Sunday at his youth football camp in Las Vegas, Adams told reporters he had no desire to be traded. If I wanted to be gone, I would be gone by now.

This is where I want to be. I like, yeah, I mean, listen, sometimes you don't know when something is real, but even at 31, Devontae, to me, still the most prolific elite route runner in the NFL now. He is highly inspiring, highly sought after if he was a secret,

you know, to want to be traded. Some contenders, some thoughts on places that he would he could go and and fill that role very good buffalo bills being one of them you know buffalo bills being one of them hey getting that saying getting that same type of monster player that stefan diggs was that is an elite route runner that you can put in any position, can play from the outside, can play from the inside. He can beat man. He can beat zone. He can do it all. He can do it all.

He like, hey, he like, look, he built a nice home. He got a wife, a couple of kids, no state income tax in Nevada. Buffalo ain't it, dog. Huh? Buffalo ain't it, dog. Huh? Buffalo ain't it? No. I don't think he wants to move. I don't think

he, you know what, after playing. Listen to the words he said, man. He said a contender. That's what speculation said. He said if I want to be somewhere else, I would. I thought he said, okay, my bad, my bad. Go ahead, go ahead. After spending your time in Cincinnati,

you ain't really trying to go back. You ain't trying to live in no cold weather, are you? No, I like the cold. There ain't nothing wrong with that now. I like that. I'm in Vegas. I'm in a controlled environment. Eight games a year is going to be perfect.

Maybe nine games. So this might be the year the AFC have nine home games. Right. Perfect weather. Okay. Yeah, I'm sure he would love to play with a quarterback like a Roger hell he take Derek Carr all over again because hell he would have 50 on the yard that was first team off road with Derek Carr yeah he just doesn't like the

quarterback carousel quarterback for four games another quarterback another quarterback he doesn't like that he He likes certainty. Talk about certainty? Who's the quarterback right now for the Raiders? That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Aiden O'Connell is the quarterback right now. It's going to be interesting. He and Josh Allen.

Don't disrespect him, but I'm just saying. I would like... I love Devontae to death, but I'm just saying, if you like, I love Devontae to death, but I'm just saying, if you could go to a contender, it would behoove you to do so because I want to see you get back to where I know you can still play

and I want the numbers to show. I want the numbers to show that so people can stop talking this, you know what, gibberish about, oh, I ain't even going to go there. I ain't even going to bring it. I even gonna bring it I'm not gonna give a table legs and bring that up but well you know Gardner Minshew is also

the backup they signed him I mean hey while you're bull driving he got Michael Pittman Juman 100 plus something catching 12-13 on the yard so if he can get gone and that's no disrespect to Pittman Jr., I play – but I think Devontae might be – but, you know, hey,

different city, different situation. I think the thing is, I mean, Ocho, he's – like I said, he a family man. He got kids. He ain't trying to really uproot his family at 31. And – but here's the thing, Ocho, and sometimes, you know, we all want, I want guys to win as much as anybody, but ain't no guarantee.

That's the thing that we love about sports. Ain't no guarantees. Because what happens, he get there, then the quarterback go down halfway through the season. Sometimes there's certain examples you got to take. Sometimes you're like, damn. I mean, Brady was always helping. Think about it.

In 20 years, with the exception of one year, so 22, Brady came in, so for 22, 23 years, one season, you had to worry about Brady not being up on the center. But every Sunday, every Monday, every Thursday, you trotted out there for 20 plus seasons.

You know 12 if you was in New England or Tampa, 12 was going to be on the center. And if he's on the center, I got an 85% chance of winning. Every time. Everybody don't get that old joke.

Damn, man. Just think about that. Damn. Mm-hmm. So at the end of the day, what's important to Devontae? Because everybody doesn't view championships as the end-all, be-all. Now, us, we've done that. Well, you a bum.

I don't believe guys are bum if you don't win a championship. I just believe, and I've been on record and I still believe this. I believe you can be great without a ring. But when we want us to add EST to it,

you got to have that. And that's not to diminish anybody that doesn't have that. Because someone asked me, said, well, Shannon, which would you rather have, a Super Bowl ring or a Hall of Fame ring? I said, well, I ain't glad I got to make that decision.

Yeah. I'm sitting pretty where I am. Well, hold on. I got a ring, too. And I got a jacket. You about to have a wedding band. Yeah, I got my own jacket. I got one- too. And I got a jacket. You about to have a wedding band. Yeah, I got, yeah, band. I got my own jacket.

I got one-on-one. Yeah. Jeez. But so that, you know, people like, oh, he wasn't. No, no. Are you trying to tell me because Dan Marino didn't win a Super Bowl ring, he wasn't one of the great quarterbacks? But the reason why they don't put him

as the great Tis is because you got Brady and you got Montana and you got Mahomes and you got Manning and you got Elway with those rings. And Bradshaw. So you got guys with rings and multiples. But Marina,

but Dano, I played in Dano's era Sometimes it's unfair How We take A team accomplishment And It's not

How do I say it the right way Super Bowl ring A ring It's's a team accomplishment. So sometimes it's out of individual players' control. Just so happened maybe you're part of that team that happens to go. I don't know. It's weird how that works and how it's looked upon where you're seen in a different light as an individual based on a team accomplishment.

Yeah. When it took a whole group to get it as opposed to you as an individual, but you don't put – sometimes when we talk about the greatest quarterbacks, they don't put Dan Marino in it because of a team accomplishment that his team wasn't able to achieve, but other quarterbacks were. I don't know if i said it the right way yeah but that's just well that's just the way we do it now yeah that's just the way that's rings you know we had that debate um that rings i mean in order

to be in the discussion i think you have to have at least one. Now, it's not the end-all, be-all. Right, right, right. But I think in order to be considered great-est, you need a championship. Because that's why you play. There's a reason why. Name a sport that doesn't have an end-of-the-year championship. Name the sport. Be it ultimate frisbee, be it what uh uh what that is cornhole they got tag

they got all kind of big oh joe you know right i watched on esp and they got pillow fight now yeah yeah they got pillow fight i was a champ because i used to beat the brace yeah you know they got pillow fighting and but at the end of the year, what did they have? A thing called a championship. So if it didn't matter, they wouldn't have those, Ocho. Football, Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals, the Olympics. What do they say? The Finals.

They have gold, silver, bronze. Bronze. There's a reason. Look at Osafo Powell have all those fast times and got no goals to show for it. So how can I say he the greatest

when he ain't got no goals? Right. If Usain Bolt, nobody would consider Usain Bolt the greatest sprinter without those gold medals. You gotta have them. There've been a lot of great sprinters. There've been a lot of guys. There've been guys that hold the world, had the world

record that didn't have gold medals. We got to remember those are individual accolades though. They're in control of their destiny. Now when we talk about basketball or we talk about football, those are team achievements. But then when it comes to talking about it it it's talked about in an individual manner like it's just the quarterback that got it done when it it was it took a team effort it still took that same team to get you

that mvp it was a team did he not play so did he not play on the team to get that mvp or was he just playing by himself and then once he got to the finals, we needed a team. Right. You're right. You're right. That's a good combo. That's a real good combo. 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. Uh, Puka, my guy on the team, the winning team, Team Shark, that beat the brakes off of Stephen A. Smith in the Celebrity All-Star Basketball game. Puka Nakua say he's working out with Cooper Cupp and cutting out McDonald's from his diet. Hell nah! After setting an NFL rookie record, hauling in 105 receptions, 1,486 yards, Puka revealed that he's been training

with teammate Cooper Cupp. His conditioning days were some of the tougher ones. The 22-year-old admitted Cupp was ready to get right before the Super Bowl. He's already starting integration to get ready to work out. A right before the super bowl he's already starting integration to get ready to work out a lot of mobility stuff the first part then continue to stay explosive a lot of top end speed we're working on the first i came back i think i threw up every day of the week it was i he wasn't a fan of that because he was he was on his lawn puka also

revealed that he's changing his diet during the season cutting cutting back on some of the fast foods. I think Cooper would definitely not advise me to eat McDonald's as much as I did during the season. He wasn't a fan of that. Ha ha! I see. This is what's wrong. This is what's wrong with us at times. We allow

others to influence us. We allow others to get in the way. And it's the same thing. Tiger, when he was playing extremely well, you see what he did off the field, right? Yeah. Stay with me real quick. You see what he did off the field. And then once that diminished, it seemed like everything else diminished with it.

Now, Puka Nakua, I need you to pay attention. Look at the season you had last year. Yeah. Understand your nutrition and your intake and what you consume throughout the entirety of the season and the numbers you put up.

Now you go around and you come back the following season trying to change up the whole scenario and change up what you did, which was working. If it ain't broke,

there's no need to fix it. Regardless of what Cooper Cupp says or might say or advise you, do what works for you. Do what works for your body. Okay, we'll try it out then. He said, I'm going to try it out. I'm going to try to go with no fast food. No, no, no, no.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't try it. If you had a season like that, eating the way you do, stay within your What if I could have a better season? No, you wouldn't have a better season. How you know? Because you wouldn't have. How you know?

Because what you eat don't make or break you. Yeah, it does. Made it time. Made it time. I ain't never get tired. No, I don't. No, I don't. There you go, Cooper. Gotta be willing to switch it up. No, I don't. No, I don't. No, I don't. No, I don't. There you go, Cooper. Got to be willing to switch it up. No, no, you don't.

And you know what? If his numbers are not reflective of what they were last year, it's because of the goddamn nutrition. First of all, he might have a better season, but not have the numbers that he had. I ain't trying to hear that. I ain't trying to hear all that. So numbers is the key.

So that's what you're telling me. When it's time to get paid, they're going to use the numbers. Yes, numbers is the key. Thank you. Ain't that what you always say? He's going to get paid, don't you? When it's time to get paid, they're going to look at the numbers. And when you was eating McDonald's,

the numbers was astronomical. He said, I cut it out. Is that a word? Was that a word? Yeah, astronomical. Okay, I'm just making sure it was a word. I made that shit up on the fly. Yeah.

He said, I ain't eating that McDonald's like that no more. No, no. He said he's not going to eat as much of it, but he's still going to eat it. No, he said he's not going to eat as much fast food, yeah. Oh, he's still going to eat it, though. I'm going to talk as much of it. He's not going to eat as much fast food. Yeah. Oh, he's still going to eat it, though. I'm going to talk to him. Pookie, hell, Pookie might be watching. I'm going to tweet him.

Don't change no goddamn diet because what Cooper got. Hell, no. I made that look. I ate a certain way. I mean, to each his own. Man. But there's a reason why they hired most of these Except you guys

Y'all cheap ass Most people hire these nutritionists Hire these nutritionists To come in and cook Yeah man Listen man Man I ain't trying to hear that

I ain't trying to hear that Y'all ain't got no Y'all ain't got no Y'all Listen All that nutrition And all that stuff Man ain't nothing but a money grab man

That shit Man I ain't trying to hear that man All the Everybody got all these nutritionists And everybody still getting hurt And dropping like flies Nutrition and all that stuff, man, ain't nothing but a money grab, man. Man, I ain't trying to hear that, man. Everybody got all these nutritionists and everybody still getting hurt and dropping like flies. The goddamn injury, non-contact injury is up 47%. Listen, you got all these boys eating like goddamn rabbits, playing a goddamn barbaric sport, and wonder why your body goddamn breaking down. Ain't nobody touching you. You ain't got to eat all that foo-foo stuff, down and ain't nobody touching. You ain't gotta eat

all that foo-foo stuff, but you ain't gotta eat all that fast food. Listen, what you do need to do is you need to eat stuff. You need to build a callus up. I keep saying it over and over and over.

Stop eating like a goddamn jackrabbit and you play a goddamn sport where you run into each other at 30 miles an hour and you... You know what? Don't worry.

Ain't nobody gonna listen to me. Y'all keep... Y'all keep, listen, y'all keep eating green. There you go. That's what you're doing. Hey, keep eating your green stuff. Keep eating all that healthy stuff and wonder why your body and y'all keep getting hurt.

It can help with explosion and all this other stuff. And you're pulling this and you got to eat this, right? And it help with performance. It help with explosion

and all this other stuff. And you're pulling this and you're pulling that. You can't run. You can't explode. Man, please, don't get me started. I'm hot.

Now I'm mad. What you mad at? What you upset about? Because, I mean, I'm just, they allow all these new, all this new stuff and technology and food and all this green and all this.

This is healthy. You ain't playing Nintendo 64. Why you ain't playing Nintendo 64? What was wrong with Nintendo 64? Why you got all them gaming apparatuses? Why you got that chair? Why you got all those monitors? If you so against advancement.

Where's the advancement? If everybody's going backwards, everybody getting hurt. Everybody don't get hurt. Where's the advancement? Injuries are up. I believe the injuries are up because guys aren't practicing. No, no, no, no, no. Don't try that.

Stop trying to say it's because we need practice. So you mean to tell me guys don't do no hitting and just go out there on Sundays? They hit on Wednesdays. They don't hit nothing. Oh, I can't. I ain't going to put no practice. You only get, what, 13 padded practices a season? Hold on.

Is that? Hold on. So you're saying the reason they're getting hurt is because they're not hitting? I tell you, you're not going to blame them eating like, eating like, uh, No, I think so. Look, it might be a combination. But here's the thing Ocho, it might, it might be a combination. It might be not hitting, it might be over training.

Ocho, this guy, he said Cooper Cup was ready to start training after the Super Bowl, before the Super Bowl. The season just ended. You got to give your body some recoverability. I don't like it. Eat what you want. Understand what works for you. Understand your body. Injuries are up

and I know why injuries are up. It's because the bullshit they putting in our system. That's it. I have nothing else to say. You got to find food. But anyway, Kevin Durant said the key to healthy season was avoiding floppers and crash dummies.

Tonight, Kevin Durant was included in what are reported 11 players projected to lead U.S. basketball into the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. The Team USA is finalizing 11 of its 12-man roster. Kurt Roge,

LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Jason Tatum, Devin Booker, Holiday, Anthony Davis,

Anthony Edwards, Bam Adebayo, Tyrese Halliburton. They have room for one more. That inclusion was anything but a surprise, but KD is coming off a strong season in which he, he also played in 78 of 82 games for Phoenix. With the backdrop, KD

spoke to the Arizona Republic and delivered some unbelievable quotes to help lead to durability. No players flopped into my legs this year. Last two years, I had a teammate flopped into me and an opponent flopped into me two straight years and caused me MCL injuries.

If it wasn't for that, I probably would be out there the same amount of games, but I'm glad nobody flopped. Just stay away from crash dummies, you know. These dudes who try to sell calls don't mind hurting people by diving on the floor and trying to sell a call. I know who those guys are. I try to stay away from them.

Like KD calling out Team Mason and some of the other guys that flopped into his knees because that caused LeBron James. LeBron James, one year, I believe, was having an MVP season. Yeah. And I think the guy was, I hate to mention your name, Solomon Hill. All of a sudden, he's diving on the floor like he tried to make the team and go right to LeBron's and end up messing up his ankle or his knee?

Ankle. End up messing up his ankle. Yeah. And. Damn. I mean, you're surprised. Think about how much they jump. And more guys don't come down

on somebody's ankle. Yeah. Think about, I mean, I get it. It's just hard. And I understand, you know, some guys, that's how they made it into the league, diving.

But going at a ball, like you said, it's not like KD has the most sturdiest foundation. The dude's seven foot tall. So you know what I'm saying, Ocho? You know, just a little tweak. Mm-hmm. Oh, man. Damn. So what, you

okay with him? Yeah, but KD, yeah, yeah. KD, I mean, KD cool. You know, I talk to him. He's not one of them healthy eaters either. He ain't one of them healthy eaters. That's my dog. I done been to five guys with Kevin.

I done been to five guys with Durant down here in Miami. No, that one five guy. It's a little burger spot. So I know he flipped back and forth, you know, between eating what's right, then eating, and he got a combination of both, which is why he had to- You see how scared Kevin Durant is?

Yeah, but that's his frame. His frame is just like that. There's nothing you can do. There's nothing you can do to that. Kevin Durant, I guarantee you, it could be raining downpour. Kevin Durant staying on the clothesline and not get wet. I'm just telling you what it is, Ocho. I'm telling you now.

Saw it myself. Saw it. I mean, some guys just have that frame no matter what they eat, Ocho. I mean, look, we've all had teammates. I had teammates. They needed to go out on Friday night.

They were going to get drunk. Right. Hey, man, come on. Hey, Sharp, look. Shut up. I play better. All right. As long as you do you.

Hey, some guys ate what they wanted. I wasn't that guy. In my mind, I had convinced myself, Ocho, that if I ate a certain way, I would perform better. The mind is a magnificent thing. Yeah, it is.

That's how you became you. Because you believe you was better than everybody else. That might have not been the case. But you couldn't tell Ocho that he wasn't. Oh no. See? Oh no. Hold on, I'm going to go out there and show you.

I'm going to talk it and I'm going to walk it and I'm going to back it up. Everything, every word. Huh? Stop playing with me now. You know what it is. I'm coming to the party. Uninvited. Uninvited.

I'm there. Front door. Hello. I'm here. We finna have a time. I'm there. Front door. Hello. I'm here. We finna have a time. Yeah, you ain't getting nothing today. I bet I'll leave with more catches than I had coming into the game. What you want to bet on that, Big Mouth?

It was some fun days. Man, please, though, Chuck. Hey, don't get me hyped in here, man. Don't get me hyped. Don't get me hyped, man. I don't me don't get me hyped man i don't know why you talking first of all why are you talking you on special teams you're not gonna even see me on the field yeah when you see me i'm running off the field or running on or you running on and i'm we never go why are you talking you don't have to guard me you're doing all that talking yeah all of them are some fun days you know what it's always like? It's like the dude,

First of all, if you're in the backseat, you definitely should be trying to holler. Right. Ain't nobody hollering nobody in the backseat. None. You don't like that?

I'm glad to see that he's bounced back he seems to be getting his footing back we all know what happened a couple years ago we don't need to relive that but I am glad to see Will Smith getting back out there I think people forgot that Will Smith was

a bonafide rapper turned into a box office first TV star with a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and then you know box office, a first TV star with Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Yeah. And then, you know, box office, you know, Men in Black

and some of the biggest, some of the biggest movies that Hollywood has ever produced, Will Smith starred in it. So I'm glad to see him getting back out there. Yeah, most definitely. It's really good to see Will back.

He was in good spirits when I saw him. I think maybe it was last month, maybe a month before last. I saw him at the Inter-Miami match. I went to watch Messi play. I had a chance to sit down and talk with Will Smith for a little bit. He was with Dave Gretman and some of his other people. So that was pretty cool. He was in good spirits then. I'd seen him in 2010. Came by the trailer when I was on Dancing with the Stars. I was on Dancing with the Stars and we talked for a little bit. He's a good dude, man. A good dude. I wish more people, I wish the masses were able to know who he is outside of what you see on videos or on

camera or that's said and stories that are written about him. That's what he is. Real good dude. Ocho, now it's time for Nightcap
