Our Olympic merch just dropped.
Ocho and I having it on.
We just went.
I have the light color.
He has the dark gray.
You made me change.
Yeah, because we showed up here looking like
step brothers.
The link
to the
merch is pinned at the top of the chat.
Use code Olympics.
As you know, the quality is
exceptional. Ocho, I ain't going to do a whole lot
of hullabaloo.
You can do it because they did it yesterday.
They did a whole lot of hooping and hollering. A whole lot of hoopingaloo. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. Cause they did it. They did it yesterday. They did a whole lot of
hooping and hollering.
Yeah.
A whole lot of hooping and
hollering.
A whole lot of talking
trash.
Oh,
remember
because that girl ain't
win.
They did a whole bunch of
talking.
They were talking.
Your girl got spunk.
Oh,
what happened?
Big mouth.
Now all of a sudden
the timeline was so quiet
today.
The timeline was so quiet
today.
Yesterday it was everybody was holl The timeline was so quiet today. You noticed that?
Yesterday, everybody was hollering and whooping.
Today? Yeah.
Your girl got smoked.
Your girl got smoked.
What happened?
Now, Noah Lyles beat Jamaica's Kashane Thompson by 5,000th of a second in the 100-meter final.
He ran a time of 9, 8, 9, 7, 8, 4 to 9,
7,
8,
9.
Uh,
Kashane Thompson took what?
Okay.
According to Noah Lyle's took 44 steps from the block to the line.
Kashane Thompson took 45 steps.
Remember,
uh,
Justin Gatlin says he took 41 steps from start to finish.
Yeah.
Usain Bolt took 40 steps from start to finish.
Noah Lyle gets the gold, Kashane Thompson gets
the silver, and Brad Curley
who won the
silver medal in the last Olympics
takes home the bronze.
Yeah.
But we build this, Ocho,
we've been building, Noah Lyle says
I'm the fastest man. What
we've done since the beginning of time, the man or the woman that won the 100-meter dash at the Olympics was considered the world's fastest man.
Regardless if a world record holder was still alive, because what the Jamaicans are trying to do now, well, Boat still has the world record.
Nah, we're not going to do that.
What we're going to do, we're going to continue, whomever win the Olympics, whomever win the world championship, male or female, that's the world's fastest man, the world's fastest woman.
So just because that no longer resides,
guess what?
Y'all didn't say that yesterday.
Y'all did not say when Julian Alford won,
y'all didn't say she was the fastest. Y'all didn't say Elaine Thompson-Hara
is still the fastest woman in the world.
Y'all didn't do that.
Y'all didn't do that.
So I ain't going to let you do it now.
Ocho, when Justin and I was talking yesterday,
what did I say?
If they make him run through the line, if they keep that pressure on him,
I use the analogy what my coach say, sucker, you got to make him run.
You got to make him run.
You know what's funny?
When you think about it, Keyshawn made him run
because his start still wasn't good if you watch it.
I watch it in slow motion.
I watch it in slow motion.
It's because he has that 200-meter kick.
That 200-meter kick, when he hit that goddamn transition,
from that 40, that 50, from that 50 to that finish line,
he had to come back and get everybody.
But here's the thing.
He made it that much more difficult.
It's still one.
If you look at his reaction time,
because Shane Thompson's reaction time was 0.176.
Noah Lyle's reaction time was 0.178.
So that's not that big of a difference.
Right.
It wasn't drastic like Shaqiri was stuck in the blocks yesterday.
Right, right, right. It wasn't that.
And so now I'm close enough enough yeah you're gonna
start to decelerate because you're not a 200 meter guy right i am i have to maintain yes i got to
but see another thing that worked in his favor was the same thing that happened to shikari
at the world championship yes way out in lane seven he can't see he sees fred curly right there
he sees uh uh uh who else was that next to him sabine he sees them and so he thinks that's his
competition he's like i got them i'm holding them off right he can't see all the way outside in lane
seven he can't see no allows and so now it wasn't until he got to the line and he like
hold on damn I ain't know
I ain't know you was that close
let's see what happens
and it goes to a photo finish
but I knew if Noah
could keep it close early
everybody he ran a 977
and he shut it down
it's easy to
run when you
know nobody in the field can touch you.
Go look at his last
20 meters and look how he started
to tie up. Go back and
look at it. So you can
see the body language? Yeah!
You can see him starting to tie up. Absolutely.
Absolutely.
He wasn't as relaxed as opposed to when he ran the 9-7
in Jamaica. His body was body relaxed i'm talking about
the whole time and he and he step off the gas a little bit listen that pressure the moment
it will do something to you he still ran he still ran he still ran a great race
yes he ran a great race this is one of the best 100 meter finals I've seen in a very long time. Yeah, well. Very long time.
Yes, yes.
When you go back and look at it, a race that was similar, was close.
Justin Gatlin, you go back and look at 2004, he beat Francis Obekwelu.
985, 985 to 986.
That was a very close race.
I think the last boat in the last olympics when he ran
9-8 in 2016 i think he ran 9-0 9-8-0 and i think justin gatlin ran like 9-8-1 maybe 9-8-2 but it
was it was the times were very very close this was a very a great race no allows gets the gold
keshane thompson takes bronze. Fred Curley takes silver.
Fred Curley
takes the bronze in a seasonal
best. Akeene Sabine
of South Africa, he
ran a national record, 982.
Marcel
Jacobs,
he ran a seasonal best of
985. Tobogo
of Botswana, he ran 986, a national record.
Kenny Benerick, he was a little off his season's best.
He ran 988.
I think his best time is 987.
And Obelix Seville made him give it up.
Yeah.
Pulled up.
He's like, I'm in last.
You know what's funny?
What's that?
When we talk about them running and talk about they had an off time
or it wasn't as fast as they normally run,
and we talk about they running a 9.8, and that's off.
Can you imagine?
Well, Fred Curley has run 9.76.
Think about how fast that is.
Yeah.
Fred Curley has run 9.76.
Yeah.
So he's off.
But this was the best.
He's been dealing with some injuries.
He's had some issues all year.
I don't think anybody thought Fred Turley was going to make the podium,
given how his season was going.
But as Justin said yesterday, Fred is a fighter.
He knows how to run in big meets.
The thing that I said about Kashane Thompson, I know he's running fast,
but has he ever run fast in a big meet?
On a world stage, on a global stage, a world championship, Olympic?
Oh, the trials.
Everybody.
Look, everybody can run.
We've seen people run.
Sha'Carri ran 10-7-1 at the trials.
She ran one of the slowest times that she's run this year in the finals.
It's different.
The heaviest thing that a person can carry,jo you know what it is yeah expectations oh yeah well then you got the
you got the world because the jamaicans they're used to having usain they're used to having uh
elaine thompson harrow they're used to having shelly ann they're used to having sharika
okay the women we knew elaine wasn't going she had some issues uh uh uh mommy rocket
shelly and frazier price but whatever transpired maybe she was dealing with a little injury but
she didn't get to warm up properly right sharika had pulled out the hundred before she really even
got where as soon as she arrived in Paris.
And now we found out she pulled out
of the 200. So there's something seriously
going on with her. So all their
hopes, the Jamaican hopes,
was pinned because Shane was
going to get the gold and then Oblique
and Noah Lyles, Fred Curley, they were going to
fight it out for silver and bronze.
But the one thing you know about Noah Lyles,
he's a big, not only is he aah lyles he's a big he's a not
only is he a showman he's a big game racer did you see how he came out did you see when they
introduced him you see how he came out hyped up like that hyped up like that ran down the track
a little bit screaming looking at everybody like hooping and hollering so when he came out with
that type of energy when you come out with that type of energy
you know
you ain't got no choice
but to show up
you done did all that
jumping up and down
to Hooping and Harlan
man who you telling
you ain't got no choice
but to show up
so I expected that
because I didn't know
what we were going to get
because everybody's time
was so good
everybody talking about
the trials
and what people did
leading up to the Olympics
I didn't know
what was going to happen I just knew it was was gonna be a good race yeah i just like i just like i said the
thing that concerned me about keshane thompson is that he had never been on a global meet
think about he ain't never had them lights turned loud like that and that music playing and them
lights and they reverberating they going all around yeah they introducing you a and it's 65 000 fans and you can feel that electricity you can feel it
right this is the moment this is not the trials be it american or jamaican or whatever the case
may be right he's never been in this moment go back and look at the last 20 meters and look at his form compared to what it was in the first 60.
I knew if they made this young man run the entire,
because everything else, Ocho, you heard, he shut it down.
He ran a 977 and he shut it down.
He shut it down in the round.
I even heard Otto Bolton says,
he looked the best through the rounds
because nobody challenged him.
Right.
Hey,
you watch his horses.
You watch the derby.
Sometimes it takes that horse to pull right alongside the other horse
to make him dig a little deeper.
Yes, sir.
Made him break form.
And boom, we got it.
Now, we have the world's fastest man.
Usain Bolt is the greatest sprinter alive,
but he's not the fastest man in Jamaicans.
I'm not going to let you do it.
I'm not going to let you say,
because your guy lost,
y'all had to eat crow,
because yesterday you had a lot to say about Sha'Carri.
Y'all had a lot to say.
Well, y'all ain't talking.
Now jump on my timeline.
Just be respectful because I got time today.
Be respectful because I told y'all just for today.
Now, I don't want y'all to get on there when y'all say something disrespectful
and I gun y'all ass down.
Hey, ESPN, does he work for you guys?
Look what he said.
No.
Hey, I'm telling you now, if you come for me and I didn't work for you guys? Look what he said. Nah. Hey, I'm telling you now,
if you come for me and I didn't
send for you, I'm going to send your ass away
unhappy.
So, hey, let's keep it above the belt.
We're going to go back and forth.
I like this. I like this song.
I love my Jamaican brothers and sisters, and we
can have a good time trash-talking, going
back and forth. You can say, hey, it's
about time, Shannon. It's been 20 years
since y'all been at the top of the podium
at the Olympics, and you're absolutely
right. But when y'all try to take pot
shots, I'm going to let y'all have it.
I'm just letting you know.
When y'all go low, I'm going to go to the basement.
If you go lower than that, I'm going to
hell. So I'm just letting
you know now. So let's keep it above the belt.
Let's have a good time. I like
the back and forth. And guess what?
You saying Bo can't run no more.
It might be a while before y'all see
the top of the podium because Noah Lyles
ain't going nowhere.
Yeah.
We are weak. We
us, America
have the fastest
of 8 billion people in the world. We got the fastest man in the world of 8 billion people in the world.
We got the fastest man in the world.
The fastest man in the world.
And y'all can't do nothing about it.
I see y'all in four years.
Matter of fact, we got two of them.
Yeah.
We got two of them.
And
we got something for you too.
We got something for you too in the relay.
What fourx1?
It probably starts probably like Thursday.
Hold on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You talking about we got something for them in the relay.
Forget the relay.
We still got Noah in the goddamn 200.
And we got Kenny Benary.
And we got Arian Knighton.
In the 200.
Yes.
When the 400 meters?
The 400 starts probably Monday or Tuesday.
Woo.
Yeah, we got some for him.
Oh, look.
Kyra McMaster, he's a 400 guy.
But my nephew is in peak condition.
Rob Benjamin, ready to go.
Yeah. nephew was in peak condition. Rob Benjamin, he's ready to go.
Now, it's going to probably take low
46, maybe even sub-46
to make that podium
because we know what the
Norwegian, Karsten Warholm,
we know about Alisson Dos Santos,
we know what he can do, we know
what Rod just beat both of
them a couple of weeks before
the Olympics started at a 9-1-1 league meet.
I think he ran 46.6.
He's run as low as 46.4 this year.
So it's going to be a go.
Kyron McMaster, I think he got on the podium last year.
I think he got silver.
Maybe he got silver or something, or bronze.
But we got something for y'all.
We ain't done. Oh, and we we got gabby gabby in the 200
yeah and we got gabby in the 200 and we gonna smoke in the relays yeah yeah yeah period i got
bragging right can't tell me nothing nah and i want y'all to do one thing for me all my jamaican brothers and sisters
stop the blood clot crying brother
i rip brother i rip brother me stop it brother no no man i'm the champ
that's funny no allows baby or the world you got let up on him don't do him like that I'm the champ. We the champ. No allows, baby,

You got to let up on him,
don't do him like that.
Let up on him a little bit.
Like they told Craig,
say, hey,
we top-lying security of the world, Craig.
No allows at the top flight.
He the big dog
of the entire world, Ocho.
No, we go eat.
It's us today.
They can't stop it.
Takes a nation of millions to hold us back.
No allows.
Celebrate.
Hey, we got A.
There was some records.
How many records were broken today?
Okay, the women, the 4x100 meter relay in swimming.
That was broken.
The medley relay, two men, two swimming. That was broken. The medley relay, two men, two women.
That was broken.
Bobby Fink, he broke the 1500 meter world record.
That was broken.
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 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 Angeli are carving out space
and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeart
Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal
that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that
captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple
Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Noah?
Oh, Andy, we've already talked about this. Andy, if you swam a leg on any world record-breaking team,
DM us.
I'm going to get you your money as soon as possible.
So the sooner you can DM me, who it is bobby fink you ain't got no teammates bro so you got 50 bands coming to me
coming to you courtesy of me the relay teams i got you just i just need to know who swam on the team
and the money gonna get to you i've've already instructed my team, my management team.
We're gonna get everything taken care of.
So we're gonna have this thing
in a nice and neat ball
within the next two to three weeks.
Hold on.
Somebody tell Bobby Fink.
Tell Bobby Fink.
Now I'm telling you.
Now, Unc, you remember I used to swim, right?
Remember I used to swim?
Yeah.
When I did that semester at Harvard,
I was part of the swim team.
So I saw Bobby Fink set the world record.
Now I wasn't too far for that world record for that small semester when I swam at Harvard.
So I'm curious, before you send Bobby that 50 ball, right?
Before you send that 50,000, how about me and Bobby, we compete in the 1,500,
and whoever went between me and him, they get that 50.
Ocho.
Yeah.
You can't swim 500 meters. Right. Let alone
1500. Right. I ain't got
asthma no more. I'm good now. I'm good. I ain't got
asthma.
Let's go.
So Noah Lyles
you got 50 bands coming
courtesy of me and Ocho. Noah let me
hear something.
Bobby Fink, you get the whole shebang because you broke a world record.
Everybody that's on the relay team,
you guys get to split 50 grand,
12.5 a piece for everybody that ran
in track and field in the mixed relays.
You set the world record the night before,
you get 12.5.
If you swam on the relay team,
I think there was two relay teams
that ended up breaking the world record the mixed relay
two men two women and the women
broke the world record at the end so
get that information DM
Nightcap let us know who swam
I don't care who swam
what leg or what stroke you swam
I just want to make sure I get you your money
in a very very timely fashion
but again back to Noah Lyles
Noah!
I know I might be in the chat.
I know it, man.
I don't get no.
You know them Jamaicans
that keep on saying,
Noah Liles and Kashane Thompson
had the same time. I just want to know who
coming home with the gold medal.
Who got the gold medal, Ocho?
They have the highest of technology
out there in Paris now.
We're not going to do that.
We're not going to do that.
We're not going to do that.
Somebody coming home with the gold medal.
Who got it around their neck?
No.
They're going to put another one around his neck.
And they're 200.
Yeah, he's going to have two.
You know, no disrespect.
He's going to have three.
Because we're going to get that relay too.
We're going to be flying.
You know, I asked a question too, right?
I asked a question earlier when it came to the sprinters
and the amount of time, the amount of rest time they had between races.
And someone said, well, you know what?
I think the sprinters actually like it that way because they don't want to tighten up. What do
you think? Do you think any changes need to be made as opposed to when you run the semis to the
finals or you're qualifying or you think the amount of time they get the rest is sufficient?
Here's the thing. A lot of times that's why you take alternates because a lot of times like Noah
is not going to run on the relays to qualify.
That's why you brought Kristen Coleman.
That's why you brought a couple of other guys.
Right.
Fred Curley will probably run.
Fred Curley will be on the relay team in the finals.
Noah Lyles won't.
Ken and Ben Eric will be on that team and qualifying.
He won't because now he has to go back and try to get ready for the 200
finals. Noah no allows will run
anchor uh i'm thinking christian coleman starts it off i'm thinking fred curly runs the second
leg i'm thinking kenny benedict runs the third leg no allows brings it home i see the same thing
happening uh because here's the thing the women tt terry mel. Terry, Melissa Jefferson, and Sha'Carri Richardson,
they don't have anything else to do.
So there's a great chance that they're going to run
in the qualifying and the finals.
The only person that won't run in qualifying
is Gabby Thomas.
But come finals time,
if everything goes according to plan,
Gabby will run third leg.
Melissa Jefferson will lead it off.
T.T. Terry will take the second leg. Gabby take third leg. Sha'Carri will run third leg. Melissa Jefferson will lead it off. T.T. Terry will take the second leg.
Gabby take third leg.
Sha'Carri will bring it home.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hello.
Hello.
I need to see some of them flags.
You know, them black and green flags.
Yellow flags.
There you go.
There you go, Prince.
I need to see that.
I don't know see that. Yeah.
I don't know what you got it up there for.
You ain't got no gold.
You ain't got no gold.
Yeah, man.
Hey, boy.
They were letting us have it yesterday, boy.
They were letting us have it.
Even though it wasn't a Jamaican woman that won,
the fact that she was...
The Caribbean.
She's from the Caribbean.
Same little shit.
So it didn't matter.
It didn't matter, boy.
They were letting us have it yesterday.
No, Ocho, you know what they're saying?
When she was born in Jamaica...
What the hell?
I love it.
I love it.
Listen, the friendly banter
between the Jamaicans
and the Americans
when it comes to the 100
comes to the 200
man it's
it's so refreshing
to be able to have
healthy discussions
healthy arguments
healthy debates

We got it pinned
at the top of the chat.
Oh, man.
We got...
Well, we put that thing on y'all.
I don't even want to go to sleep.
I might stay up
30 hours.
30?
30.
We're about to do something.
The last American
to sweep the 100
and the 200
was Carl Lewis back in 84.
Noah Lyles has a chance to do that.
And they also won the relay that year.
So Noah, you in great company, boy.
If you could pull this double off right here,
ain't a whole lot of guys can ever say they've done the double.
Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis.
I can't think of a whole lot of others.
Jesse Owens.
Let that sink in.
Think about the company
you're going to be in
if you were to pull this double off.
Jesse Owens,
Carl Lewis,
Usain Bolt,
and Noah Lyles.
I think Noah Lyles
win this gold,
pull this double off.
Considering the world championship,
it's going to be hard pressed
for me to say
there's a better
American male sprinter
in the history
than Noah Lyles.
I know it's early.
I don't want to put the cart before the horse.
But guess what?
I'm starting to hit you up.
I'm starting to hit you up.
How old is brother Noah?
How old is Noah?
Like 27?
I think he's 27.
Okay.
Okay.
Damn, that's dope, man.
That was a great feeling.
That was a great feeling, boy. The hype, the anticipation before's dope, man. That was a great feeling. That was a great feeling, boy.
The hype, the anticipation before the race, man.
I'm nervous.
I ain't even out there running.
I'm sitting there watching.
I forgot about my guy, Grant Holloway.
He just dropped a0-1. Right now, for me,
it's a toss-up right now between
Carl and Michael Johnson as the greatest
American sprinters. You look at Mike
back-to-back, he's done something no
other man has ever done. Back-to-back
400-meter titles. I think he's a
three-time world champion, formal record
holder in the 100 and the
400 and the 200.
He did both. Michael he michael gets a
lot of credit credit but valerie briscoe hooks did it first she did it in 84 michael did it in 96 and
if i'm not mistaken marie jose perrette from france she did it in 2000 where she did the double um
she was a two-time if i'm not mistaken i think she's a two-time uh 400 champ
also but anyway noah lies is about to be in great company he's gonna be on the short list if he's
not the greatest he's gonna have he's gonna have a seat at the table with carl lewis and michael
johnson as far who is the greatest sprinter and he's they can't add anything else to their legacy
let's just say for the sake of argument he goes and wins a world title in the 200.
Now, that'll be four world titles in the 200.
He gets another world title.
That'll be two in the 100.
And he's an Olympic champ in the 100 meters.
It's going to be a short conversation.
Because the thing was, Carl was a four time
Olympic champion in a long jump
two times in 100 meters
I think he won two gold medals on the relay
and he won the 200 meters
in 84 and he got the silver medal
in 88
if I'm not mistaken I think Joe DeLoach won that one
but
all I want to talk about is Noah Lyles
all I want to talk about is Noah Lyles just about Noah Lyles I don't want to talk about Noah Lyles all I want to talk about is Noah Lyles
just about Noah Lyles
I don't want to bring nobody else into the conversation
if you ain't talking about Noah Lyles
ask me anything
I want to start a trivia
and to the living zone we're going to have some trivia
about Noah Lyles
how much does he weigh, how tall does he weigh
from, what's his favorite food
all things Noah Lyles about Noah Live. How much does he weigh? How tall is he weighed from? What's his favorite food? All
things Noah Live.
Oh,
man.
I look at somebody
talking about, oh, 9'7 is slow compared
to Usain, but Usain wasn't running.
He wasn't running.
Wasn't slow to Kishane? wasn't slow to
was it slow to
let's talk about the people that were running
don't talk about I don't want to
see here's the thing
that's just like saying well
Bernard
or
Elon Musk
they're not the richest man in the world
John D Rockefeller if he was alive,
he'd have a trillion dollars.
Or Mansa Musa, the great kings of Africa that own it.
No, no, we're not doing that.
When they put the list out, the world's richest man,
ain't nobody saying John D. Rockefeller,
nobody saying Mansa Musa,
nobody said the Rothschild family.
They named one of those guys.
So what we're not going
to do, Jamaicans, because you lost. Y'all some sore losers. And I told you, I'm a sore winner.
Y'all think, oh, oh, I have a whole one tonight. I told you this day was coming. I told you every
dog has his day. And since I'm 250 pounds, I'm a big dog. I'm going to have multiple days.
Yeah, I'm going to be insufferable.
They say, you know what,
Ocho, I ain't going to tell you the true story, Ocho.
They tell my man, once Shannon got
a little money and he became somebody, he became
insufferable. I say, you a lie.
I've been insufferable. Ever since I've
been on this earth, I've been insufferable.
And I'm about to be more insufferable.
Now, I need y'all to talk to me right now, Jamaica.
Come on in here.
Y'all not good.
Don't say that, Glo.
Y'all not good.
Y'all hurting right now.
You're hurting.
And I feel your pain.
But I'm here for it.
I got salt and alcohol to pour in your wounds.
I ain't bandaging your ass up.
I'm going to put some salt and alcohol in those wounds, Ocho.
That's what I'm here for.
Now, what?
Now, what y'all got to say now?
Y'all better hope Hansel Parchment come through, Kyra McMaster come through,
because they're going to be looking real.
Y'all, you know, the hurt is the only thing y'all got.
I know y'all ain't about to leave.
All this time, since 2008, y'all been on the podium in the sprint.
Yeah.
McLeod, I think he won the Olympic gold in the hurdles.
Harshman won the gold.
I mean, we know what you say.
One year, y'all swept the podium, and then y'all had all these great sprinters.
Shelly Ann, Elaine Thompson-Hara, Karan Stewart. Y'all had all of them. Jackson, yep. Yeah, y'all had all these great sprinters, Shelly Ann, Elaine Thompson-Hara, Kerron Stewart.
Y'all had all of them.
Jackson, yep.
Yeah, y'all had all of them.
Now what?
Y'all about to go home empty-handed.
Empty.
Nothing.
Nothing.
I'm going to do that like Dollar Bill.
Get nothing.
They get nothing, Ocho.
Nothing.
Get a country bump, nothing.
Hell no.
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 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.
In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked
like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask Attorney General...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,
but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane,
I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Yo, we all good we good y'all want to talk about something what y'all want to talk about i mean y'all want to talk about noel alonso the five the five thousands of a second is the closest

aims for carl lewis phase one which is his which was was the weaker of his events. Now
he goes to his strong suit, which
is the 100 meter.
200 meter, excuse me.
If he can do this, Carl Lewis was the last
American to pull off the double in 1984.
The last sprint double
by an American in 1996
when Michael Johnson did
the 2-4 double in Atlanta.
Let's go, Atlanta. Oh,
let's go, boy.
No, Alive, I just want you
to know, everybody back in America,

Team USA closes group play with this 58th consecutive win
in a dominant comfortable win over Germany.
Jackie Young finished with a team-high 19 points on 7 of 13 shooting,
including 5 of 8 from behind the arc.
Breonna Stewart had 13.
Asia Wilson had 14.
As I mentioned, Jackie Young had 19.
And it was a dominating performance from start to finish.
We out-rebounded them.
Didn't shoot a whole lot of free throws
beneath the team.
We were eight for nine.
They were six for eight.
But we moved to the quarterfinals now, right?
So we move on to the...
Who do we play in the quarters?
I mean, we moved to quarterfinals.
We still have two players with no points, but still nothing to worry about, huh? Because we really don't have anyone over there to test us or contest us. Or if we do, they'd have to be so efficient from the field. And I think the ladies would raise their level of play anyway if that were to happen. So, I mean, I'm not really worried about, you know,
Taurasi and Ms. Gray really not having any points.
I think we're going to be all right.
Ocho, check this out.
Nigeria made history for Africa.
One day after South Sudan men's basketball team
became the first ever African team to advance
to the Olympic quarterfinals,
Nigerian women have accomplished defeat.
Their 79-70
victory over Canada has
guaranteed them a spot into the
knockout round. USA
plays Nigeria on Wednesday.
If I'm not mistaken, one of the
Nigerian players went to Savannah State.
I think
their guard went to Savannah State. Yeah, that's what
we do. Okay.
I'm on to Savannah State. Yeah, that's what we do. Okay. Our motto at Savannah State,
you can get to anywhere from here.
World stage, media doesn't matter.
NFL, you can get to anywhere from here.
College is about to see.
I like that.
I'm going to steal that.
No allows, baby.
I'm going to steal that.
Bobby Fink's victory in the 1500 meters
saved the day for the US team
with the first and only individual
gold medal for US male
swimmer in Paris
the men were on
the Olympic team men were on the
cusp of being shut out
for the first time in what
120 years it was gonna be since 1904
Bobby Fink saved the day so bobby and
the u.s men lose the medley relay for the first time ever they had won 10 consecutive gold medals
ocho yes chinese the china chased them down and won the gold medal yeah k. Kudos to China. China. Great job.
Hey,
the vigilant man,
look,
I know
it hurts because,
Ocho,
you don't want to be the one
to break the streak.
Yeah.
Think about UCLA's streak
that they had in women's basketball
or women's,
UConn's women's basketball.
Basketball.
When they won a 100 and something games.
You don't want to be the one.
No.
But eventually, you do something long enough, somebody going to get you.
Yeah.
And in sports, when you're a team, it's kind of hard for you to retire.
You can't, an individual can retire.
Like, he retired, Rocky Marcellos said, they blow it, Mayweather, they retired unbeaten, untied.
Mm-hmm.
But when you're on a team, you have to keep playing.
Eventually somebody gets you.
The United States women relay of Regan Smith, Lily Key, Gretchen Walsh,
Walsh and Tori Husk dominant in the four by 100 medley relay.
They win by more than three seconds, setting a new world record in the process.
That's the eighth gold medal in these games for the Americans in the pool,
clinching the battle for the most gold over Australia,
who finished with seven.
Oh.
Women, y'all got that thing done, baby.
Y'all got it done.
Now, day nine.
Ocho, we are tied with China for the most gold medals.
19.
We blowing everybody out of the water with the medals.
We're 26 clear of China.
We're at 71.
They're at 45.
France got a big boost.
They're at home, 44.
Australia has 31.
Great Britain, 34.
South Korea, 24.
Japan, 24.
Italy, 34. South Korea, 24. Japan, 24. Italy, 22.
Kristen Faulkner does with Olympic gold
in the women's road race,
ending a 40-year American drought.
The last time an American
won was Connie Carpenter
Finney.
Yeah, Connie Carpenter Finney
when she was in L.A.
Wait, you said, is she from Finland or
Finney? No.
Kristen Faulkner.
She's the last. She's the first
American to win in the
road race since 1984
when Connie Carpenter
Finney. Oh, that's her
last name. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
I wonder if that her husband Dave was Finney. Is, that's a land name. Okay, okay, okay, okay. I wonder if that's her husband, Davis Finney.
Is that her husband? I think her
husband was a famous cyclist also.
You know what I watched
today that I enjoyed?
It was like
kayaking. Kayaking?
Like they drop down,
they drop down about 12 feet, I think about 12
feet, and it's a race
similar type like a lot of obstacle course you got to go around a little buoy it was dope
connie carpenter i think davis fanny is her husband or was
how you know oh you know what i shouldn't have this use of this knowledge, man. I really shouldn't, but I do.
Right, right.
Because I never know when it's going to come in handy.
Right.
Kristen Faulkner didn't start cycling until after school at Harvard.
In 2021, she quit her job as a venture capitalist to pursue it.
She wasn't even supposed to race today until a teammate resigned.
She's now the first American to win gold in 40 years. You see how when God
has something for you, Yocho? You see how
when God got it for you?
Can't nobody take that from you.
Ever. And you never, and listen, the funny thing
about it, when he has something for you, you
never know when it's coming.
You never know when it's coming.
When you least expect it.
Matter of fact, right when you get ready
to give up and you done.
All right.
Always.
You see, when God got something for you,
he'll just move everything.
The teammate resigns.
The teammate says,
for whatever reason, I'm hurt.
I don't feel it.
Step, push it aside.
When God got something for you,
can't nobody block it.
Nobody. Nobody.
Congratulations
Christian Faulkner. Job well
done. Quit her job.
But you got to have faith
that you know what? She's
a venture capitalist. She's stepping out on faith.
That's the unknown. That's the unseen.
See, in the Bible, God
says, look, God says look God says

You got to show a man before he trusts you.
God asked you to walk on faith
and then I'll show you.
Shoot.
Right?
Man, we did that.
That's that good word right there, boy.
Man, I'm so happy about Noah Live.
Did I tell y'all?
Hold on.
Back to the top of the program.
Noah Live is the fastest man in the world.
He won the 100-meter dash over the invincible,
the unbeatable Keshane Thompson of Jamaica
in a spectacular photo finish,
9-7-8-4 to 9-7-8-9. The world. of Jamaica. And a spectacular photo finish 9784
to 9789
the world.
Bow down to the greatness of Noah Lyles.
Thank you, Noah. I appreciate that.
I appreciate you, Noah, for restoring
law and order.
See, sometimes I think the Jamaicans forget.
That makes it seem like they've been on
this run since the 1980s since the 1970s y'all had bro do y'all know how many champs do we have
in the 100 meters yeah do y'all know how many stop it now we had to restore order now we back
get to our normally scheduled program. Simone Biles has a request
to reporters and interviewers.
You guys really need to stop
asking athletes what's next
after they win the medals
at the Olympics.
Let us soak it up.
Let us soak up the moment.
We worked our whole lives for this.
Yes!
You know, media be messy.
They be nosy.
They want to know what your plans are,
what's next. And most of the time, you know, I mean messy. They be nosy. They want to know what your plans are, what's next.
And most of the time, you know, I mean, you probably have a inkling on what it is you want
to do from that point, because it's something you thought about even while you're doing it,
because you think about and processing, you know, after this, what am I going to do next?
Or maybe in the next four years, do I want to put my body through the stringer's regimen
to compete in 2028 in LA?
I mean, at times they know,
but it ain't the media business,
especially right after a competition,
especially right after competing.
But you know the media,
they're going to ask whatever now.
That's always been,
I don't want to use the word protocol,
but you know how they do.
Yeah, because everybody want to get.
They want to be first.
Yes.
They want to be first to be able to say, this is what so-and-so is doing.
Right.
Yeah, everybody want to be first.
I can't wait.
I can't wait to race Bobby Fink.
Oh, Joe.
What happened?
And they say,
Noah Lyons came out there saying,
don't worry about a thing.
Every little thing will be all right.
That's what he said.
We played his headset in the warm-up period.
Yeah.
Now, Bob Marley said,
yeah, what are you listening to?
For real?
Don't worry about a thing.
Because every little thing,
it's going to be alright.
And you know what he want?
He say, guess what he have for
his celebration meal?
What? Rasta pasta.
Mm-hmm.
No,
I'm just telling you, that's what
I'm reading in the reports. I mean, I don't
know if it's true or not, but they say that's what that man
have. Rasta Pasta.
Hey, boy,
you here, boy.
Boy, you here.
Oh,
I forgot.
Scotty Scheffler
