Here's the thing. When you're used to getting a haircut twice a week like I do, Ocho. Yes, sir. If you go a full week without getting one, you notice it. It's like when you cut your grass on the rig, if you go one week without cutting it. Right, you notice it. You notice it. But I'm going to get a haircut

tomorrow morning, my guys going to come in and touch me up. So, Ocho, we had a very exciting game. The Mavs eliminate the number one seed, OKC Thunder, 117 to 116, to reach the Western Conference Finals. Remember the headlines that everybody said about me? Ocho, I said, OKC. Y'all really think they're going to the Western Conference Finals? Y'all think they're going to the NBA Finals?

I ain't one to say I told you. Look at this, Ochoa. Look what they got up there. Look at what they said, now. Now, I want them to run. I want them to run, Uncle's right, with the same passion. Right. You see?

Now, they all know. Listen, OKC did put up a great fight. OKC put up a great fight, but obviously the experience of the man. Number one seed's not supposed to put up great fights. Number one seed's supposed to win. I know, Ung, but Shea over there, I'm not going to say by himself. You know, Shea, you know, he got Jalen Williams. He got Shed Holmgren, but it's not enough.

It's not enough to go against that three-headed monster over there with the Mavs and Dallas now. You got Kyrie and Luka and obviously P.J. Washington. I'm going to talk about P.J. a little bit because he started off real bad tonight. He started off real bad tonight. He got in foul trouble early. But that second half,

them key threes that he did hit in that game, to seal it. Them two free throws. And the free throws, talk about clutch. I'm not calling them Kobe, but I'm saying P.J. Washington

was Kobe-ish oh you mean Kobe-ashi Kobe-ashi you know what I mean you must be the hot dog each I'm just saying but having the first half like you had then

then being able to make those shots in a clutch situation you know cause making free throws I mean to many that are watching from home they think it's easy

oh no they think it's so easy but, no. They think it's so easy, but understanding the pressures in a game this magnitude, where you want to close it out, hey, that shit difficult now. That shit difficult. It is. I think the thing is, look, you know, I'm just giving the OKC

Thunder, they're better than I actually thought they were, considering how well they performed. They wouldn't go away. This is a very, very young team. I'm talking about really, really, really young. I agree with you. I think they need one more superstar to pair along with Shea because he's sensational.

He's been sensational the entire series. He showed why he was MVP runner-up. He showed why he's going to be probably a unanimous. He, Luka, and Yoke were probably unanimous. He, Luka, and Yoke were probably unanimous first team All-NBA players.

He showed you why. He had the package. He hit the three. He had the mid range, but he also showed you, man, I ain't got to live by these threes because he may get a lot of his buckets in the paint. He get a lot of his points in the mid range. He's sensational. I love watching this young man

this young man play compete I can assure you the Clippers did not see this coming but you know Kawhi he wanted a veteran player to go along with it or he was going to the Lakers and the Clippers could not afford that to happen

so they got Paul George but they had to give up Shea and a lot of draft picks. But Shea was sensational. They don't have anything to be, yeah, I understand it's disappointing because you had the number one seed and you want to get at least to the Western Conference Finals. It didn't happen this year.

And maybe they are a year early. So maybe next year was where they're supposed to be, where they are now. Maybe they were supposed to be there next year. I think if they can get one veteran, a star player, to pair along with Shea, because they got everything. I love

Chet. Chet does a great job of contesting a lot of shots. He can shoot the three ball. He's a block. He can defend the rim. He lobs. He's great at hovering around the basket, getting rebounds and put back. But tonight you saw when it

came down to it. You had Derek Jones was early. That second half, three after three after three. He had 22 points. Kyrie got going late, got going in the second half. He had 22 points. Luka had a triple-double with 29-10-10. I don't know if they would have ever got to that lead, but the turnovers, the Mavericks, whomever they play in the next round,

they've got to eliminate, they've got to cut down on those turnovers. Because you look at, go ahead. Yeah, I was going to say, you look at the turnovers they had in this game. And as you get to the Eastern Conference Finals, Western Conference Finals, whatever it may be, when you play a better team, you won't be able to overcome some of those turnovers. Because when you turn the ball over, the better team that you're going to play are going to capitalize and get points off of those. And you're going to put yourself in a goddamn hole. And you're not going to always be able to dig out of it off of those and you're going to put yourself in a goddamn hole and you're not going to always be able to dig out of it.

Even though the game of basketball is a game of runs. Yes. It's a game of runs, you know. Momentum shifts, but as you play better teams that have better scoring output, which is what you're going to face

in the next round, you're not going to be able to recover all the goddamn time. Considering the Mavericks out-rebounded by 16 total. They out-rebounded by seven on the offensive glass. So you're thinking,

oh man, this is going to be easy. But they turned the ball over 18 times, which led to 27 points for the Thunder. That's why the game was closer than what it really needed to be, considering how you dominated the offensive glass, how you dominated total rebounds, but you allow the team to stay in the ballgame

because you turned the ball over. Think about it. The Mavericks shot 47% from the floor. They shot 16 of 34 from the three. But when you turn the ball over like that, you allow teams, you're going to allow teams to stay in ball games and sometimes it comes back to bite

you in the butt. OKC is going to kick themselves because they had a 11-point lead at one time. They got it whittled down. They stretched it back up to 17 and they lost it. So they're going to find them. And that's what happens. You're a young team. You've got to find ways to hold on to that lead. You've got to find other going to find them. And that's what happens. You're a young team.

You got to find ways to hold on to that lead. You got to find other ways to get stops. But I think Jason Kidd made a very strategic move in the second half. He went to a zone defense. Yeah. That allowed them to, because they were going bucket for bucket. I was like, you can't win the game.

They got to lead. You can't play go bucket for bucket. You won't catch up. So he went to that zone. It allowed them to get back into the ball game. They went away from it. They went out on again. He went back to the zone again.

And I think that was a very great strategic move by Jason Kidd. Going to that zone, he went to it twice. It served him well both times. And guys started to make shots and they did a great job. But okay, see, they'll be back. This is a young, greedy team and a hungry team. Jalen Williams is going to get better

but I think in order, in order for them to get to that next level because guess what? The Nuggets not going away. Minnesota definitely not going away. Let's see what happens with the Warriors. What can they retool with?

If they get another guy, if Klay coming back, I think Sacramento, if Zion can stay healthy, New Orleans is going to be to deal with. Everybody's going to get better. You keep saying Jalen Williams is going to get better, but I think the Western Conference as a whole to be to deal with. So there's a lot of, you know, everybody's going to get, but you keep saying Jalen

Williams is going to get better, but I think the Western Conference as a whole will continue to get better. So I have a question. That's a good thing. We talk about OKC and how good they were obviously being the number one seed going into the playoffs, and you say a veteran presence is also needed to pair with Shea and Shett.

Who's a veteran? Who is the great piece? Who is the great piece? Who is the great piece that would be willing to go play with a young team? That's the thing, Ocho. You're probably, Ocho, they got seven, eight, nine first-round picks. They got seven, eight, nine second-round picks. You might be happen to willing to give up some of those first-round picks and maybe go get a Brandon Ingram.

Maybe go get one of the, yeah, go get a proven commodity. Because the likelihood of you being able to attract someone, ain't nobody going to OKC. It ain't happening, Ocho. It ain't happening. Is it that bad? What's wrong with OKC? I mean, are players

looking at the city that they're going to or are they looking at the team and the chance that they have and getting far in the playoffs? Let me ask you a question. You get an opportunity. You can go to Lakers. You can go to Miami. You can go to Orlando.

You go into OKC, or you go into one of those places for the same money. Okay. Hold on. Orlando ain't going nowhere. Orlando was in the playoffs. They young. Hold on. Orlando ain't going nowhere. Orlando was in the playoff. They young. Bank Carol? Oh, he legit.

Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Hold on. Oh, yeah. I know about young dude, but I'm talking about, think about it. They almost made it to the finals.

Western, wait, Eastern Conference Finals. Almost. Okay, see, no, they went to the second round. The Western Conference Finals are going to be between them. It's next. Yes.

That's what I'm saying. They almost, that's why I said they almost. I mean, obviously, they lost to the Mavs. So, I mean, as a player, obviously, I don't play the game of basketball. So, people in the chat might know a little bit more than I do based on this. But I would want to go play with the Young Bulls. I would want to go play with the Young Bulls. I would want to go play with the young Bulls. Obviously, they're the number one seed.

So why would I choose in going to a Miami and understanding what Miami has or going to... I mean, Miami doesn't have a shade. They don't have anybody scoring 30 points a game. No, but they... I'm not going to Orlando. Orlando doesn't have...

Orlando has a great young player. I forgot. He's Spanish, right? I said his last name. Pablo Becerro? Oh, yeah. Pablo Becerro. Hey, a great young player. I forgot. He's Spanish, right? I said his last name. Young Bull, nice. But again, he's not going to play with a shape. It's different. We talk about a MVP

runner-up. I don't want to go play with that. Ben Carroll, he's only going to get better. Remember, he made the All-Star team in his second year. They got a very young team. You look at Sugg. You look at Wagner. They got a young year. They got a very young team. You look at Sugg, you look at Wagner. They got a young team. They need a veteran

presence. Let's just say they go and get a Paul George. Let's go say they go and get a Donovan Mitchell. Oh, they're going to be a major player. Donovan Mitchell to OKC. But see, here's the thing. He left Utah. He didn't want to be in Utah. Now, maybe that had a lot to do with Rudy Gobert. We talk about Utah now. Come on now. But here's the thing he left utah he didn't want to be in utah now maybe that had a lot to

do with rudy gobert we talk we talk about utah now come on now but here's the thing to ocho trading somebody there kawaii wasn't going to toronto you see when when kawaii got his first chance where kawaii went la la they traded paul george to ok Now, he stayed because he was with Russ. Right. But he wasn't going there as a free agent. If you go back and look, what big-time free agent has signed with OKC? Only one big-time free agent has ever signed with San Antonio. And that was the guy from Portland.

What's his name? LaMarcus Aldridge. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He signed with San Antonio as a big-time free agent. It's hard for small market teams to get... To attract big names? Think about it. LeBron couldn't get anybody to come to Cleveland.

LeBron effing James. He couldn't get anybody to come to Cleveland. And you think Shea gonna be able to get some people to come to Cleveland. And you think Shea gonna be able to get some people to come to OKC? KD and Russ couldn't get anybody to come to OKC. Man, that's fucked up, man. It is what it is.

You're gonna have to trade and get a guy. You got enough draft capital to do it? Speaking of trade, if you trade for a veteran presence, what happens if, do the players,

obviously, basketball players make, I call it fuck you money. I call it fuck you money. And you could trade a player to a certain place, and what happens if you say, you know what,

man, I don't want to play here. I don't want to play here. Does that happen? Does that happen? They can pull that off. For the most part, like if you're a KD, Brooklyn did him a solid.

He gave him, like, I would really like to go to Phoenix because he's been a good soldier. They did that. Kyrie gave him choices and they sent Kyrie to Dallas. Now, maybe that was the perfect landing spot. It's kind of like when the Fox had

the rabbit in his hand and he told him, he's like, you know what, I should eat you. I should throw that was the perfect landing spot. It's kind of like when the Fox had the rabbit in his hand. And he told him, he's like, you know, I should eat you. I should throw you in the brow patch. He's like, please, please don't throw me in the brow patch. Don't harm Mr. Fox. If you throw me in the brow patch, I'm going to get all them thorns on me. I'm going to be scratched up. Fox throwed him in the brow patch. He said, that's where I

wanted to be. You know what I'm saying? So maybe Kyrie, like, I don't really want to go anywhere but the Lakers. And you know, oh man, I'm with Luka. That's where I wanted to be. You know what I'm saying? So maybe Kyrie, like, I don't really want to go anywhere but the Lakers. And you know, oh man, I'm with Luka. That's where I wanted to be. No state taxes. He gets to play alongside a guy. He don't have to show them the load. And

Kyrie has matured so much. He seems to be so at peace. I mean, I need to go talk to him because I want to see how he's at so at peace. You saw the other night night they won the game he beat the drum he's a cerebral player

that's found peace happy married kids Kyrie hey we know he's always been able to play there was never an issue about his ability you don't find you to be able to handle the ball. Three levels. The three, the mid-range can finish

either hand at the rim. Can shoot the free throw. You know what else? Not only has he been able to play, but he's been healthy too. Yeah. He's been healthy. He's been healthy too. He's always had issues. I've heard Rumblings about his knees. His knees being bad.

But this year, he's been healthy. He's been had issues. I've heard rumblings about his knees, his knees being bad. But this year, he's been healthy. He's been available. He's been available. Yes. So it's going to be very, very interesting. You know, this was Chet's first year. He's only going to get better. You saw the improvement from when he was a freshman at Gonzaga,

and then all of a sudden he misses his entire first year. Is there something to be said about guys that missed their first year, Ocho? For the simple fact, even though you're not playing, you're learning. You're learning how to be a pro without having to be a pro by playing. Study habits, getting in the cold tub,

rehabbing, lifting, how you conduct yourself on the road. That goes a long, long way. You look at guys like Joel Embiid, missed a lot of time. Ben Simmons missed time. Although I don't think Ben Simmons will ever be what he once was, injuries. And I think he got beat up so much mentally. I don't think he'll ever be what he once was, Ocho.

But you look at guys that missed time their first year, Blake Griffin, some of these other guys, and it went a long way. But the Thunder go down 4-2 to the Mavs, 117-116. The Mavs move on. They face the winner of the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Denver Nuggets. So that's going to be a very interesting game. In their first 40 playoff games, LeBron James averaged 27.3, 8.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists. He shot 44% from the floor, 29% from the three-point line, 74% from the free throw line.

In his first 40 playoff game, Lucas averaging 31 points a game, 9.4 rebounds 8.2 assists He's shooting 46% from the floor 35% from the three 72% from the free throw line Yeah Shea this year Ocho he was sensational 30 points a game 6 rebounds a game

6 assists a game 2 steals a game He was first in 30 point games Most 30 point games since Harden in 2019, led the NBA in steals, best player on the number one seed, youngest number one seed in NBA history, second in MVP voting.

So the future is very, very bright in OKC. The only thing, Ocho, is not to get complacent. Say, hey, we young, we did this. Get back in the lab. Take only thing, Ocho, is not to get complacent and say, hey, we young, we did this, get back in the lab. Take you some time off. You know, Shea's going to be on the Canadian Olympic team. I think Lou Dort is going to be on the Canadian Olympic team. So they're going to be

playing. Hopefully Jalen Williams, both of the Williams kids, they get right back into it. Isaiah Joe, Josh Getty, they're probably... I can see a scenario where they move Josh Giddey. I can really see that happening. People talking about KD go back to OKC. That's a possibility.

It is. I don't know if he really wants to do that. But they have the draft compensation to restart what Phoenix lost by trading to get KD. But it was a great series. Yeah, it goes down 4-2. Could have easily gone 7 to join the other two 7-game matchups. The Nuggets and the Wolves play game 7. And the Knicks and the Pacers play game 7.

So we almost had three game sevens, which the NBA would have loved. 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. 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. Ocho Alexander Yusey established himself as the baddest man in the heavyweight division with a split decision win

over Tyson Fury. He unifies all four belts. It's the first time we've had a unified heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. He became the undisputed heavyweight champion in Kingdom Arena, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The bout was everything fans could have hoped for. You saw Yusuf established early. Fury gets it going, and then Yusuf countered. I'm going to say this. Yeah. Fury, he took the fight serious but he did too much antics yeah but that you know

listen I was just going to say that now when it comes to people or fighters that have a personality that make the sport entertaining I think that's him that's always been Fury he's always been like that he's approached all the fights that he's had with that fun with that passion's had with that fun,

with that passion for it, with that entertainment value, where if you pan whatever you pan to see Fury fight, you're going to get that entertaining side of him as well. I think it caught up to him a little bit. I can't remember by round. I think it might have been round seven or maybe round

seven. What round was it where he got rocked? What round was that? It might have been seven or eight maybe round seven. What round was it where he got rocked? What round was that? It might have been seven or eight, Ocho. Seven, seven, eight. Now, I say it on the show and I say it all the time. The moment of truth for all boxers, it all comes down to your conditioning.

I don't care how skillful you are. I don't care how well your IQ is, how much information you process when it comes between you and your opponent from round one to six. Round six and seven is the moment of truth where your conditioning

comes into play. Because when you're not able to be on your bicycle and moving left to right and doing all the head movement and you got to stand there and fight and you got to exchange, where you have no choice but to fight, what's going to happen? When he wasn't moving as much, what happens? He gets caught

and Yusek goes to work. And from that point on, from round seven, it might have been seven and on, even though Fury tried to come back, it was too late. Every round from that point on, he went to work on him. Riyadah. Riyadah.

Riyadah, Saudi Arabia. Riyadah. Riyadah. Riyah. Riyadah. Riyadah, Saudi Arabia. Riyadah. Riyadah. Riyadah. Hey, man. Hey, you got to think about using his path. His path just to get to Fury, right?

Yeah. Anthony Joshua Tice. I mean, Anthony Joshua twice. Daniel DuBois. Tony Ballou. Derek ChBois. Tony Ballou. Derek Chisora. Maurice Brills. Murat Gassiev.

Michael Hunter. Christophe Glowicki. I'm probably saying his name wrong. But dude, Buddy went through the gauntlet. Buddy went through the gauntlet just to get to this point. And mind you, they have a rematch clause no matter what. So regardless of who won the fight, they fighting again.

I think maybe in October. I might be wrong as far as the date goes. But they fighting again in October. And I'm sure the fight will probably be back in Saudi Arabia again. Yeah.

And listen, ooh, they get the double dip. They get the double dip. They get the double dip. And I wonder, now is Yusuf the A-side? Is Yusuf the A-side now? Yeah, yeah, yeah A-side. Is Yusuke the A-side now? Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

You think he is the A-side now, right? Yeah, he got the belts. Okay, okay, okay. I think the thing about Joe, like at some point in time, you have to pick and choose because Yusuke is not, he ain't no punk. The dude, he's a gold medal winning fighter. Right. And if you watch as the fight started to go, he's a smaller man, but he

started walking him down. He walked him down, and he counted him, because Fury tried to throw the uppercut from distance. He counted him right, left, over the top, and boom. Now,

give Fury credit how he stayed up on his feet after that, because they could have easily stopped the fight. And I believe that he's not I was scared the ref was going to walk in and call it.

I thought he was getting ready to, but he let it go. Yeah. I think the thing, I think you think he's fighting for a bigger cause. Yeah. I think Yusuke is fighting for a bigger cause. Yeah. His country has been at war for the better part of two years. Did you hear

what Fury said after the fight? I didn't. He said, to the fact I don't want to quote him wrong, but to the fact that they gave him the fight because of what was going on. They felt bad for him. Nah, don't do that. Don't but to the fact that they gave him the fight because of what was going on they felt bad for him don't undermine the man the man who whipped your ass

it's something to that nature and I think that was that was classless on his part you shouldn't do that give the man his credit you lost and you got a rematch but don't say nothing like that you got to be able to help him

because of what's going on in Ukraine. Yes. And, you know, Vladimir Klitschko, heavyweight champion from the Ukraine. And, you know, when you're fighting for a higher purpose than just fighting. Right. When it means something to your country. I mean, you know, if you look at it, the way they honor their champions, they have parades. Those people win gold medals.

I mean, maybe a little small town, but their athletes in these foreign countries are revered. Yeah. Lomachenko. Messi and Ronaldo. Oh, man. In the Ukraine. Icons.

Icons. Yes. So he's fighting for a bigger purpose he beat your fury he beat your fair square this ain't about no yes his country is at war but that's not what did he beat you man i don't like because all the time that when you win and you know you you said all these funny quotes about how you was drunk and you came in overweight and you won, don't shortchange the man. Give the man his credit. Say, you know what? Tonight, he was the better man. We're going to do this thing again.

And the next time, I'm going to be the better man. But don't shortchange the man. He did, man. Listen, now Usyk has completed WBA Cruiserweight, the WBC Cruiserweight, IBF Cruiserweight, WBO Cruiserweight, Ring Cruiserweight, WBA Heavyweight, WBC Heavyweight, IBF Heavyweight, WBO Heavyweight, and Ring Heavyweight. You know what? I think… Two-division unified champ. Doesn't happen often.

Two-division unified champ. I think he should fight me. What do you think? Nah. As a tuna fight. That's not your weight class. Huh? That man that hit you so hard

in the top of your head, you peep out your ribs and thank you in jail. Don't do that. Don't do that. Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me.

Stay with me now. Listen, I think it'd be a good tuna fight before he fights Fury again. Ocho, you couldn't take not one body shot. Yes, I can. You'd be peeing

right there in the ring. I ain't gonna pee. Man, listen, I got... Look at them abs, man. Who can't take no body shot, man? Man, hey. Boy, you'd be pleading blood for a month.

Man, I'm good, man. I'm ready, man. I'm ready. I'm ready to get back in the ring, man. I can't find nobody. Don't nobody want to fight me. Nah, you too light. Nah, I'm not too light. Man, get back in the ring, man. I can't find nobody. Don't nobody want to fight me. Nah, you too light.

Nah, I'm not too light. Man, you see that man just bought one of the most skilled heavyweights in the history of that division. And he walked him down. But you got to understand, he walked him down after round six. Oh, Joe. Fury fought beautiful the first six rounds. That is what you call a pure boxer.

A skillful boxer. Defense, everything was on point. He kept the jab on him. Kept the jab on him. He kept the length out there to measure distance. He fought a beautiful fight up until he got a little tired.

But I'm saying, Ocho, here's the thing. He was 235, so you're going to be giving up 50 pounds. Ooh. And... I keep forgetting they that heavy. I keep forgetting.

My bad. And the difference is when the heavyweight, for the most part, most heavyweights can turn the lights out with one punch. At any moment.

That's the thing that makes heavyweights so dangerous. There have been some fighters that could... Tommy Hearns can hit you with that overhand right at the 147 and end the fight. Roberto Duran could end the fight. Horse hands. horse hands.

There have been certain guys, I don't know if you remember him, John Mugabe, the beast. I mean, there have been certain guys, obviously the heavyweights. You had Ken Norton, you had Ernie Shavis, you had Big George Foreman, you had Ron Lyles. A lot of those big heavyweight guys can turn the lights

out of the fight. But these guys are not really heavy punchers. They're like really skilled boxers. So they gotta put a lot of punches together. If you see if we saw when, what's his name? Deontay. When he caught what you call

a flush? Wilder, yeah. It was a wrap. Slid him to the floor. It was a wrap. I still don't know how he got up. How was a wrap. I still don't know how he got up. How he got up? I still don't know how. Like the Undertaker. He was just sitting. He was standing to the roof

and just jumped up out of nowhere. That's crazy. Okay, well, listen. Okay, Usyk is too big for me. Right now, because I've been boxing and playing soccer and playing tennis, right now I now about 180. So how about this?

How about I fight like people at 168? How about I fight like Caleb Plant? 168? A super middleweight? Yeah. How about I fight Caleb Plant? You better fight somebody like

Ryan Garcia or Tank Davis. No, man. They too little, man. They too little. They too little, man. Like Caleb little. They too little, man. That's your kitchen with the uppercut. Listen, Caleb Plant, Benavidez, he can get this work.

Bud, Boots. I'm trying to think. I'm trying. And you know what's funny? I'm naming all the people I've sparred before, so I already know what to expect. Any of them boys want some work, let me know. They want some road work. me know. Let me know.

They want some road work. They want you to get on the road and put about three or four miles in with them. Oh, that's fine. I've done that already with them. But I'm talking about what I do to them boys

with eight-ounce gloves and no headgear. They know what it is. What? Hold on. Brian Maxwell shot you on your ass. What you think?

Hey, hold on. What the heck? That was three years ago. I've been in the gym for three years now. Let me tell you something. ass. What you think? Wait, hold on. That was three years ago. I've been in the gym for three years now. Let me say something. Let me say, remember how you look as a rookie?

And how did you look going into your third year? Do you know how much you improved as a player? So how much you think I improved as a boxer? Ocho, let that sink in. Think about what you're saying.

That's like a guy coming out there that, hey, really never played football before so you know what I've been working out and I'm about to exactly I don't like that analogy because I've been fighting all my life

you ain't got no golden gloves you ain't got no amateur ranks on your belt I got golden gloves from Charles Hadley Park when I used to go at it. What you talking about? I was a golden glove in the hood.

What you talking about? I've been fighting. I just never fought in a structured environment like that. Well, that ain't fighting. Hold on, let me, let me, I got one more thing, one more thing. I got thrown out of Lansing University, right? Yeah.

You know where I got thrown out? I got thrown out for fighting. Let me finish, let me, I went to Coral Gables High School. I don't remember who the principal was in 1993, but I got kicked out for fighting in the Grove. I tell you what, Ochoa, go fight Mayweather.

Go fight Mayweather. I don't want to fight Floyd. I don't want to fight Caleb Planner. I want to fight Boots or Bud or Eris Fence. They ain't wasting their time with you. They got better things to do Man, I'll lock them niggas up, man Stop playing with me, man

Hey, you need to have more faith in me, huh? Mm-mm You got the faith of a Hey, in the Bible it says God said to have faith of a mustard seed Yep Well, you need to have faith in me In order for a mustard seed to do

Grow what you gotta do You gotta plant it They gonna bury your ass So, I don't I need my partner I need my partner grow what you got to do. You got to plant it. They're going to bury your ass. I need my partner. I need my partner. Man, you be

slurring your speech and shit. Man, I'll have to get you up off the radio. I'll have to get you up off YouTube. Hey, that's fucked up. Hell no. Hey, listen, you know what's funny? I know the chat probably laughing their ass off. Man, he ain't going to fight no better BF.

Hey, I know the chat laughing their ass off. The people I'm calling out, obviously, they're all friends of mine. I've all had the opportunity to work with them at one point in time, sparring. I don't think they obviously didn't turn up on me because they could have killed me if they wanted to. But the fact that I was able to work with them, oh my goodness. I told you how to do it. I told you how to do it.

Once you get inside the ring, they're not your friend no more. No, hell no. They're not your friend no more. They know it's you, but you got to go to work. I don't know how many people have actually seen a fight up close,

but to watch Mayweather and watch these guys set punches up, by the time you realize he done hit him, he done draw back. So what you see when somebody's like, oh, he done recall. You see the guy here, hey, he done recall. He done ready to go again.

And the thing is, you gotta be able to see them punches. That's what made Floyd, Floyd could see punches so good. He see it coming, bam. And already countering. And that's the scary part when it comes to the elite fighters that are fighting, which is why sometimes everybody is cautious

when it comes to exchanging. Because as soon as somebody feels something coming back. Yes! And the scary part is you want to be cautious and you don't want to get caught in that exchange. Because as soon as they feel

leather anywhere, something's coming back. It's reactionary. Because here's the thing, Ocho. They know whatever punch you hit them with, that hand is down. Down.

So they come in with a counter to it. Yeah. And so that's the thing, you know, talking, I remember talking to Holyfield, this was Holyfield was the champ. He says, the problem is that when you throw punches, you susceptible to get knocked out

because you can't throw punches blocking your face. So when you throw something, and remember, when he tried to throw that uppercut, that's how he got caught because his hand was down. Down and he came over the top. Hey, that counter left over the top.

Now he back into the ropes. Hey, that equilibrium. Once that equilibrium shook. I still don't know how he stayed up. It take a little minute to gather yourself too. I still don't know how he stayed up. I still don't. I don't know. I'm excited. I still don't. Yeah.

I don't know. I'm excited. That's why I'm nervous. I'm nervous for Jake Paul. I'm nervous for Jake Paul. I know it's eight rounds, but it's only two-minute rounds. And I think they've done that. With 10-ounce gloves.

Yeah, with even 10-ounce. I think he's underestimating the type of power that Tyson packs. Even at his age, he's short, he's compact, lower senior gravity. Do you understand the power that is coming behind

them punches, man? Yeah. Even if you do block, it make you think twice once you feel the power. Yeah. I remember watching that fight with Holyfield, fought George Foreman. Yeah. If you get a chance, go back and listen to the fl. Yeah. I remember watching that fight with Holyfield fought George

Foreman. Yeah. If you get a chance, go back and listen to the sound of the thud of which Holyfield was hitting George Foreman with. Yeah. How that man stayed on his feet, I still don't know. To this day, I'm thinking, and for every

once in a while, I go back and I'm like, you could hear that thing through the television. I was thinking, and for every once in a while I go back and I'm like, you could hear that thing through the television. Yeah. I was like, I only saw Mike Tyson fought once, and I saw him fight Frank Bruno. Oh, Bruno. We hit him and he fell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He caught him good.

Caught him real good. Crazy. You got it. Like I. Crazy. You got it. Like I said, you just got it. I mean, you get an appreciation when you see someone do their craft and you get an opportunity to witness in person. Right. Because like a lot of times when you see LeBron, you see it on television.

You watch these guys and you watch the Jordans, you watch the Colbys, or you go to about, I remember watching the Home Run Derby and see Sammy Sosa and Ken Griffey Jr. go at it, hitting the ball out of Turner Field. To see these guys in their craft, in their natural element, then you get a real appreciation for just how good and how skilled these individuals are. Oh, absolutely.

Yeah, for me, when it comes to boxing, obviously there's a saying, you don't play boxing. No, no, no, no. You don't play boxing. You don't play boxing. I obviously submerged myself in it for three years. I took it as serious as I could. And obviously when I did fight on that card with Mayweather, Fort Logan, I told Floyd, I said, if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it right. And I'm not fighting a celebrity. Give me someone that fights for a living. So that was why the decision in fighting Brian Maxwell, who's an MMA fighter and fights bare knuckle, it had to be somebody that magnitude. So they understood those who have been in this world for years and it's their livelihood. I wanted to show

you that I am taking a series that I'm not going to play around. And just the three years after that point and going from boxer to boxer, some of the best, and just watching the way they work, it gave me a better appreciation to their craft and what they do as opposed to being a fan and watching from the outside. Yeah, for sure. And I understand the work that goes into it. So when I sit back and see fighters fight and I hear fans talk all this trash, or you should have done this, you should have done that, or you're sorry, or you can't do that. And I sit back and think, like I spent three months

in Philly and I watched Boots train to get to see why he looks the way he looks on fight night. I've watched Shakur, I've watched Bud, and I just look at how everybody talks trash about all these fights. I've watched K to Plant.

Like, dude, do you understand what goes in the preparation just ahead of a fight? It's crazy. Which is why I also said boxing, to me, is the most difficult sport. It's the hardest to do. There are no timeouts. There's nobody coming to save you if you get rocked. Like, there's nothing.

It's three minutes and he's trying to knock your head off. Yes. That's why I laugh. And you know, when people say, oh, he a bum. Shit. The guy at the end of the bench in the NBA

will make anybody at the park look ridiculous anyone we work out I don't know if you've ever seen track I'm talking about professional track athletes watch them work out you think you running

watch them turn the time that they be turning different and to do it over I thought we was doing something man Watch them turn the time that they be turning. Different. And to do it over. And man, please. I thought we was doing something. Man. Hey, you know, I keep people, I'm looking at the chat. I think, I don't know if people actually watch boxing.

People say, oh, Ocho, you got knocked out. Oh, Ocho, oh, you got slapped. Do they actually watch boxing and understand what a knockdown is? When I think every fighter has been knocked down. Do people get that? I think they confuse the two. Yeah, it's not the fact of getting knocked down.

It's getting up. Yeah. Especially when you've never been down before. See, that's the mark of a fighter. Because if you win and you always end in a dangerous situation, it's that. Thank a fighter. Because if you win it and you always have that situation,

it's that when you taste that canvas. Yeah, it was good. Because now everybody got a plan until they get hit in the mouth and they touch the canvas. Oh, damn, that plan. Hey, coach, this ain't working. Hey!

Hey. Oh, hey. And I told you, my dumb ass i i go down right yeah i get up you know my football mentality you know somebody hit me good you know playing football the first thing i do i get up no hey boy good hit what yeah should i get off the canvas and i'm sitting there trying to dap dude up in the middle of the ring he He like, hey, man, we got to keep fighting, man. You can't do that here. Oh, my bad. Yeah.

Because here's the thing. If I lay on the ground, they're going to be talking ish to you. Oh, yeah. So you got to jump up even if it's like, damn, that was a good one. Yeah, yeah. I ain't do nothing. That didn't hurt. I'll be right back, punk. Like, damn.

Hey, cub, break a little lower. A little lower next time. But that was that was fun. That was fun. 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.

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. uh caitlin clark drops 22 but fever fall again to the liberty remain winless the results may be the same but the loss was the most promising performance yet caitlin clark finished 22 points on 9 of 17 shooting 4 of 10 from the 3 the most points and her most efficient game

of a young pro career while adding 8 assists, 6 rebounds, 1 steal committing 8 turnovers she took a hard spring from Stewie which nobody's surprised by that and see this is what Diana Taurasi was talking about there's a learning curve.

Everybody's not coming in like Candace Parker and winning MVP as a rookie. Because first of all, she's not like... And they got to communicate that, man. Yeah, well, that's what I... I ain't communicating shit.

Oh, excuse me. Your guy better do that. That's your guy's responsibility. You got to know if the screen coming, just yell, screen, screen, screen. Thank you. You know, the only reason, it's the only reason I know now, and you know, because the only reason I know that

is because when we play on Pepper Park, which I'm doing tomorrow morning, them boys out there running plays. So if somebody coming to pick and screen me, I got my dude, my homie, hey boy, Ocho, the screen coming, screen, screen, screen. Man, they let me know. So I'm like, I saw that early on Twitter.

I'm like, wait a minute, why her teammates ain't yelling out screen? And Twitter told me, well, there's a reason she went first because the fever obviously aren't that good. But listen, communication is a part of any sport, any sport you play. You got to call it out and let your teammate know

or she got to keep it. She got so many other things going on in her head. People say, you got to keep your head on a swivel. Yeah. On your right, on your right, on your right, on your right, on your left, on your left, on your left. And it lets you know something's coming. Like, talk to me.

Well, hey, that's what I'm saying. Next time that happens, I'm saying hey next time that happen I'm going to slap the out of you man man cause

don't nothing don't nothing hurt worse than when you walk into something unexpected you walk into the wall you walk into the door you don't expect that you walk it back

think about you walking on the street and you walking it's like damn boom hold on hold on hold on let me let me how about this one though ain't nothing worse You walking back, think about you walking on the street and you walking like, damn! Hold on, hold on, hold on. How about this one, though?

Ain't nothing worse than being in the house and you're going to the bathroom and you hit that pinky toe on the edge of the wall when you're trying to turn the corner. In the hotel room, I just get mad. I just want to tear that hotel room up. I said, y'all don't even know how close I came to tearing this room up. Because, Ocho, it'd be dark. You're not familiar. Like, I

could pretty much go to the bathroom in the dark in my own house because I've made that trip a thousand times. Yeah, you know your way around. But in the hotel, man, Ocho, I ain't going to lie, Ocho. Man, I went to the bathroom the other night. I thought I was peeing in the toilet. I peed all over the floor. And I said, hey, Ocho night. I thought I peed in the toilet. I peed all over the floor.

I said, hey, I cleaned that up in the morning. I went to bed. I remember earlier, you know how they have the picture over the toilet? Man, I done walked into the shower and thought that was the picture. I said, I get that in the morning.

I'm sorry. See, that's why I believe the cleanup lady's $60 to $80 because I know, hey, I deliver to the best, amen. That's why I like to go to the bathroom. Hey, you go downstairs. I stay upstairs

or I go downstairs because, Ocho, in the middle of the night, I ain't trying to do no aiming. Right. Yeah, just in and out. Yeah, bro. I'm trying to get sleep because I ain't got to turn the light on. You know, if you turn the light

on, it's over for me. If I turn the light on, I ain't going back to sleep. Rest of the night. If it's 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, I'm staying up. Oh, you up? Yeah, I'm up. Okay. Yeah, I'm up. I'm sorry. Housekeeping. I'm really sorry about that. That was Jordan.

He was in room 1407. His name was Jordan Barber. That was him. That was him. That was him. So, if y'all want to charge him a little extra for cleaning up his room, I ain't even mad at you guys.

Yeah, Ocho, she, look, I think she's going to be great. I think there's a learning curve that comes along with this. It's just like, I mean, there have been very, I mean, there's some rookies. I mean, there's a learning curve for Kobe. There's a learning curve for a lot of guys. There are very few guys that come in that's ready to play like a 7, 8, 18-year-old LeBron or like a 21-year-old Michael Jordan.

Normally, there's a learning curve for rookies. Or you get a guy like a Tim Duncan. I mean, but Tim Duncan, guys like that, they don't grow on trees. Like, there have been one player in WNBA history that was rookie of the year and MVP. Her name was Candice Parker. Yeah. Everybody know how great Candice Parker was. So to think that that that Caitlin Clark was going to come in and just replicate that into what the 25, 26, 27 year history of the WNBA.

This one won. Yeah. Think about all the great players that come in after her. The Stewies, the Taurasis, the Maya Moores, the Simone Augustus. None of them did that.

Yeah. And she's going to get better as time goes. Yeah. No, she absolutely going to get better. And also, once she gets acclimated

to the game tempo, the speed of the game, yes, yes. And when the game starts to become slow and it slows down for her, then we're going to see a replication of what

she was doing at Iowa. How long that takes is all on her. You see the difference here? She's had a lot of turnovers. See the stuff that she could get away with in college? You can't get away with that.

Oh, no. Everybody's athletically a little bit better, a little faster, athletically gifted. So you're not going to be able to get away most of that stuff you did in college. Think about it, Ocho, how you can run an out route, be lazy with it. Be lazy with out route in the NFL and see what happens to it.

He's going the other way. Deion Sanders on you. Yeah, he's going the other way. Hey, he's going to have the ball. Hey, okay. You can't be lazy with no route. These guys are two, even the worst corner. You get lazy with a route. Okay. You can't be lazy with no route. These guys are even the worst corner. You get lazy with a route. Yeah.

Go another way. It's really simple. Offensive linemen, sometimes offensive linemen in college, they're so much better. They just dominate them guys. Look at Tony Mandarich. He was dominating guys in college. Boy, got to the NFL and couldn't block the sun out of his eyes.

It was good and terrible. Ocho. And when you that big, when you an offensive lineman. Right. And you that big, where they going to put you at, Ocho? See, if you a defensive lineman. Right. I can move you to the office because you got a mentality

i can just teach you some technique if you're an offensive lineman you ain't gonna be nothing but a big ass equipment manager yeah you know what i'm saying you could be six foot four handing out towels and washing pants but you in the way that's it yeah you're in the way so it's a it's a different mindset from college to the NFL whatever the level when they hear us say there's levels to this you go to the Louis Vuitton store there's some bags

that's out you can grab them some bags in that glass case it's still the same Louis store but there's levels to this that's all I'm saying. But she's doing, hey, she getting better. You see the first game. She got cut down on some

of those turnovers because the stuff that you were trying in college, these women ain't gonna let you get away with that. It's not gonna happen. But congratulations, Caitlin. Hey, we know you haven't won a game yet, but it's coming. It's coming. Oh,

yeah. Oh, they play again. Oh, they play again on Monday night. Don't they play the Connecticut Suns? Y'all need to get the Suns. Matter of fact,

Also, Ocho, I don't know if you saw track and field today, but Cindy McLaughlin laid down a blistering time. She went 22.07 in the open 200. She beat some, hey, Gary Thomas. Yeah, yeah. She beat some Gary Thomas.

She added the 200 to her She's working on speed work because you know Femme Cabal they've been hyping Femme Cabal in the 400. She said, I'm going to come back. Y'all know who this is. I'm sitting in McLaughlin. Lebroni.

If I'm not mistaken, I think she married a good friend of mine, Kevin Lebroni. He was a professional bodybuilder. I think that's his nephew. Look here. Y'all need to stop. I'm one of the most versatile women in the history of track and field. Now, Sharika Jackson can make a case to that because Sharika Jackson

has won medals at the 400, the 200, and the 100. But Sydney got a gold medal at the Olympics. She got the silver medal, if I'm not mistaken, in the Open Four. And so could she win? She went 22-07. And she came off the turn.

It was a wrap. It wasn't eight. Abby Steiner was in that race. We know Abby Steiner, who's run, I think, 21-8. Gabby Thomas has won 21.8. Gabby Thomas has won 21.65 and she blew the doors off him. So, would I be surprised?

I wouldn't be surprised if Gabby, if Sid went sub-50 in the full hurdle. In the full? She might be the only woman. She right now... Madarina Coke,

world record of 47.60 in the open four. There've only been two women to ever go sub 48 in the 400. Right. There's a check. She has the world record in the 800 meters.

She went 47.99. Madarina Coke went 47.60. Iarina Koch went 47.60. I think Sid has the ability to go sub 48. Yeah, most definitely. Listen, I didn't even know Sid had the foot speed.

I know she had the strength for the 400. She had the strength for the eight. And her kick is unbelievable. Yeah. 400 hurdles. You know how strong you got to be? Oh, yeah.

I love that. Hey, my guy. Nephew, Rob Benjamin. 400 hurdles you know how strong you gotta be you know how strong you gotta be 400 hurdles nephew Rob Benjamin congratulations on you world leading time 46.64 in the 400 he just went, Alisson Dos Santos went 46.86

last week, he dropped it down to 46.64, now we haven't seen the Viking run, the Norwegian, Carsten Warholm. He's the only man to go sub-46 in the full hurdles. And when we thought, I remember when Young, Kevin Young, in 92. Right. He went 46-76. I was like, man.

And it took him, what, 92? So it took him about 22 years, 21 years to go that. He took it even further. So could we possibly see another world record with the way Dos Santos is running, the way Rhyme's running? And we know Carson Warhol. He loves to take the race out and say, come catch me if you can. So could we see another world record?

Yes. I expect to see a world record in the women's 400. I believe Sid can go below 50, 68. You know she went to school, right? Who said she went to Kentucky? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Adrian Twore was a coach. Well, she got Bobby Kersey.

Now, we know Bobby Kersey. Hey, Bobby Kersey have him ready to run. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You know where some adult at, right? She at Kentucky? Yeah, my daughter, yeah. She run track at Kentucky.

But all those girls with the Abby Steiner with the Kentucky, Kenny Harrison with the Kentucky, Macho Quinn, Camacho Quinn, JCQ, Winter Kentucky. Oh, they got them. Yeah, they real deal. But I just want to give a shout out

to Sidney McLaughlin, lifetime best in the 200 meters. That's not a special. Congratulations, Sid. 2207, Rod Benjamin went 46-64 in the four hurdles. Like I said, I'm expecting world records. I think the world record in both events

is going to fall. Okay. Now it's time for our very, very, very first segment of the day. Newscap! Newscap! Hey. The Chiefs face

an unprecedented schedule no NFL team has faced in nearly a century kc is hoping to become the first team to secure an elusive feat winning three consecutive superbowls the path will be difficult one even for kansas city no team has even made a superbowl appearance much less won the game after winning the past two superbowls. The closest, the 49ers, lost in the NFC Championship game. If I'm not mistaken, I think they lost 13-10. They lost to the Giants. That was the year the Giants ended up beating Buffalo with the wide right kick.

But there's an expected element. Ocho, the Chiefs will play on six different days of the week. They'll become the first team to do so since the 1927 new york yankees according to nfl research the chiefs will become the first team in the super bowl era to play a sunday night game a sunday game a monday game a wednesday game thursday game a friday game and a Friday game, and a Saturday game. I think they got like three games. Don't they got like three games in like 15 days?

I think they got a stretch. Oh, Joe, I think it's like a couple of teams that got that schedule like that. But they play Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. They sound like they're playing Pop Warner.

That's what we used to do with Pop Warner. Yeah, it damn sure does. And when I think about this, the way the scheduling is, and obviously I'm assuming, not assuming, I know the NFL is giving them this grueling schedule, obviously the hardest schedule in the NFL amongst the other 31 teams. Do you think the NFL is ruining a potential three-peat by trying to capitalize

on the Taylor Swift attendance? Do you think this has anything to do with it? Hell, why would not? Okay, I'm just curious. Let me ask you, Ocho. The NFL is a business. Yeah. What are businesses in business to do?

Make money. Make money. Make money. Most businesses are not non-profit. Non-profit. Okay. This is a profit business.

Okay. Now, in the process, these streaming services, the games on Christmas are going to be streamed on Netflix. Remember,

I told you, these streaming services want to be taken serious. Right. What's the way to be taken serious. See, right. What's the way to be taken serious? I got to have live events. Let me give me an NFL game. NFL, we'll give you $100 million.

We'll give you $150 million for one game. Oh, y'all will? Okay, how about I give you two how much you give me? There's only so many times you can do alternate jerseys. There's only so many times you can do throwbacks. There's only so many times you can do alternate jerseys. There's only so many times you can do throwbacks. There's only so many different helmets you can do. Really, the way to increase

revenue is to give the fans, give these networks what they want. More football games. The fans want it and the networks want it, want to give it to them. And so Amazon, Netflix, get games. Obviously the big CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN,

you got the big four. So now we got streaming. So YouTube, they bought the ticket. That's crazy. Roger Goodell said by 2025, he was looking to have the NFL what you call them yearly revenue at 25 billion right now at about

2021 with a year to go hey right think about what these franchises think about the value of these franchises remember Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys in 1989 for about $130 million. They're worth about $9 billion.

Billion now, yeah. So people, let me ask you at home, if I told you to say, hey, put away $1,000, put away $10,000, and the next year I want you to save $10,000, and in 30 years, it'll be worth $50 million.

It makes sense. These franchises, you ain't buying a franchise for less than $4 billion. The Broncos went for $4.5. The Washington... Excuse me. Sorry. No disrespect. The Commanders went for $6 billion. Prices ain't coming down.

It's only going to continue to increase. Jacksonville is looking, the city is looking to build, help build them a $1.5 billion state of the art. That's Jacksonville. That's small market. Yes. Yes.

Yes. Oh. Yes! Yes! Oh! They only got that bag now. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Absolutely. All the owners got the bag. They got the bag. A lot of them, they didn't start. I mean, obviously, you look at teams like Chicago, Virginia McCaskey. She's the daughter of George Hallis. They're the whole lot of mom and pops,

is what I'm trying to say. The Earthsades have been at it. The Bidwells have been at it. For the most part, a lot of these new owners came. They had other businesses. Ended up buying this. So, you look at Stan Cronky. He owned the Nuggets.

He owned the Avs. He owned the Rams. He owned a soccer team. What does he own? Is it Arsenal? Which soccer team does he own? Stan got his hand in the soccer team too? Does he? What team?

Is it Arsenal? Arsenal. Man, Stan on Arsenal? The Nuggets, the Avalanche and the Rams too, yes. Let me call Stan, man. I could be over there playing with

soccer. And Odegaard, I'm finna sit here and let me get on. Let me give me a try with Arsenal, man. Yeah. And you know, they're building these state-of-the-art stadiums that's multiplex. They can hold concerts. They can hold track to pools.

Truck mud bogging. You know, you gotta have multiplex you got to do more than just play football games in the stadium to make it profitable. Yeah. You know, you have these, look at, look at Jerry,

you see what Jerry, and then you guess what? Think about each NFL team got $300 million from TV contracts. Now that's not tight. Talking about local naming rights to your stadium. AT&T probably plays Jerry Jones about $20 million just to say that's the AT&T stadium.

Now we got local TV rights. We got concession. We got parking. Jerry is the only one that has his own deal that he's not that he, all the merchandise. So he prints up, somebody does something, he can print a t-shirt, boom.

Have it out to you the next day. So now, so you see how profitable it is. Damn. Oh yeah. It's crazy. Yeah. So, we gonna watch it. It gives us, so, we gonna be busy

because there's going to be a Sunday game, a Monday game, a Wednesday game, a Thursday game, a Friday game, a Saturday, Sunday. So there's going to be

a time on show. We're going to be seven days straight. Oh, that's fine because I'm going to be right there at the games. Don't worry about it. I'm going to be right there.
