All right. If you're a gambling man, bet on the Chiefs, 38-28. Well, you made some wages. We're going to get into that a little later. You made some wages of some things that you're going to give up, which I don't believe you can give up any of those things for like two days, let alone for a whole year. But we'll talk about that a little later. You finally made your appearance on First Take. How you pull that off? I just showed up. Hey, can y'all, you know what? I've been begging to go on First Take

for about three, four months. About three, four months? Something like that? Yes. Can y'all please give Shannon a round of applause for letting his little brother come on first date, please? And all I needed was to get my foot in the door. To get my foot in the door. Because I know he had no idea what Ocho would show up. But I know how to conduct myself. Because that is Disney.

That's Disney. That's Disney. So I know you can't curse. And I'm not going to embarrass you. I'm not going to embarrass us. And I enjoyed it. So that's like the first step step the next step is getting me on there part-time right right so I'm working my way into I got one foot in you want to be a contributor no no no no no I'm trying I'm trying to like it's like three amigos me you and Stephen Akin like take this shit over yeah I'm telling you. The ratings gonna like just...

You see, so in other words, you see I'm on two days, right? Right. So how do you feel that you gonna come on and get five days and I got two? No, I don't wanna be two days. That's why I say you wanna be a contributor. Yeah. Like, one day, one day, one day. That's what a contributor is. Okay. Okay, two.

Okay. That's still what a contributor is. Okay. Just, I want long my foot in the dough. Okay, too. Okay. That's still what a contributor is. Okay. I won't long my foot in the dough. So what did you think? I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I wasn't nervous because, you know, I'm used to talking. Questions were good. Obviously, it was very comfortable for me.

Right. One of the problems that I probably would have is it was easy just to talk football. I didn't have to be critical and analytical of anybody. Right. Now, that's something that I need to work on, something that you and Stephen A are really good at. And I really hate chastising players. You know how I am.

You get on too many times. So, if it's something that I want to do, I would have to get better in that area. As far as talking football, talking players, I'm set. You're good on that. I'm good on that. Now, I'm just trying to figure out how you fool the media. I mean, the media is so gullible. You tweeted out something yesterday that you had signed with that you were going to be a coach for the Raiders.

I am. And they bought it hook, line, and sinker. Yeah. Oh. You losing me? Yeah. That's what she said so how did you how did you put so how did you become a rated coach so what position are you coaching i'm i'm interim coach

you're interim coach i'm interim coach what what position um assistant wide receiver head coach to the head coach oh okay yeah so marvin is the assistant head right right ap is, head coach to the head coach. Oh, okay. Yeah. So Marvin is the assistant head coach. Right, right. AP is the head coach. Right. So you're the assistant to Marvin. I'm the assistant to the assistant of the head coach or the receiver coach. Oh.

Yeah. So a newly created position. Yeah, they do that all the time. They do that all the time. It's called a buddy system. Mm-hmm. Buddy system. Yeah.

So I had dinner with Antonio Pierce and some other folks. Some other folks. And I talked to Antonio and I asked him, like, listen, I have 38 jobs right now. I'm looking to diversify my portfolio, build my resume, and will help me get other jobs based on what I'm doing. So being a part of your staff would only further help me get where I'm trying to go. And he said, no problem. So I tweeted out a picture with me and Antonio Pierce. And I said, I'm finally got a position as a coach with the Raiders. And he tweeted right behind me and said, I can't wait to have you coaching up 17. And that's Devante Adams. So because he retweeted it and basically made it true, I'm a coach. Now, we haven't talked logistics and money and all that.

I mean, how do you take a job and not understand finance? They might pay you a dollar a day. Listen, that dollar is going to be worth it. Opportunity. Long as I get my foot in the door. Like today, I was on first take. I ain't worried about no money. Well, once I get my foot in the door, I'm good. How about this? I was worried about you saying something crazy because like you said, you had your foot in the door. Yeah. I was going to shut the door on your foot if you said something crazy. No, no, no, no, no.

I ain't going to do that. I ain't going to. Listen, there's one thing about it. Like, you consider me your little brother. If you give me an opportunity, I'm not going to embarrass you. No, I think the only reason you wasn't trying to, it wasn't me I was worried about. It was Rail. Right.

See, Rail was there. You wasn't going to embarrass Rail. Yeah, that too. See, if Rail ain't there, could be like sometimes we're railing the bed sleeping. Yeah, you and I'll be talking about still real Don't know Oh Yeah, there you go, I just play a rail she ain't got no seat in the front Rail you don't have a seat? Hold on.

No. I mean, maybe for the last 10, 15 minutes of the show, rail, you can sit over there on the couch. You can join us up on the stage. So check this out, Ocho. Yeah. You said you were so confident that the Chiefs are going to win this game. Absolutely.

You said if they don't win, you'll give up eating McDonald's for one year. That's easy. You'll divorce Rale. That's true. And give up sex for the rest of the year.

I got a hand. You got a hand? How many cards you got? Huh? You playing spades? No, I ain't playing spades. I'm just saying I got a hand. I don't believe you're giving up

any of that, first of all. Actually, I think the hardest thing for you to give up would be McDonald's. I can do it. You can't. I can do it. You cannot.

There's something I have that's called discipline. Discipline. And that's the best trait, the best asset I do have. So if I had to give up McDonald's... Listen, for one, the Chief's not losing.

Let's start there. Right. I know. I've seen the's. Listen, for one, the Chief's not losing. Let's start there. Right. I know. I've seen the script. Ash, put it in the poll. How many people believe Ocho could give up McDonald's for one year? Put it in the poll. We're going to put a poll.

Okay, forget McDonald's. What about sex? I believe you have a better chance of giving up sex than McDonald's. That's how I know you don't know me. Real. You addicted to both of them. No, no. Watch this.

Real. Real. You addicted to both of them. No, no, watch this. Real. I made her wait two years before she even got none. I promise, I made her wait two years. That's my point. Right. You ever waited two years before you ate McDonald's? No, but- Exactly.

But we, it was three things. It was three different things. No, you gotta give up, hold on. You said you'll give up eating McDonald's, divorce, and I'll give up sex. And give up sex for the rest of your life. That's three things. Right, but I've done all three before. Not in the same year.

Actually, it was. Man, you ain't gone three days without eating McDonald's. I'm telling you, man. I'm telling you. What's the longest you've ever gone without McDonald's? For real? No, for play. Yeah, for real.

I tried to be Muslim once. Mm-hmm. the longest you've ever gone without McDonald's? For real? No, for play. Yeah, for real. I tried to be Muslim once. So I was Muslim. I was reading the Quran. They have fish filet at McDonald's. French fries. No, no, no, no. Milkshakes. I couldn't. I had to change my diet because I was Muslim for like six months. Muslims eat

fish. Not that kind of fish. What you mean with that kind of fish? No. Muslims eat fish. Not that kind of fish. What you mean with that kind of fish? No, Muslims eat salmon. They eat fish. That ain't what Farrakhan told me. I'm telling you. I did it for six months, but I couldn't take it.

I couldn't take it no more. So, hold on. You couldn't take that, but you're going to take giving them McDonald's for a whole year. You couldn't take that. You couldn't do that for a year,

but you're going to give them six. The Chiefs are not losing. And the fact that you're going to take giving them McDonald's for a whole year. You couldn't take that. You couldn't do that for a year, but you're going to give them six. The Chiefs are not losing. And the fact that you're even betting against Patrick Mahomes is asinine. You bet against Patrick Mahomes against the Ravens. Remember? No, that's because I believe in Lamar. And that's because it's home team. You know, Lamar from down the street in Pompano.

So I'm like, I'm a root for home team. But my heart was with Lamar. Logar logically I was with the Chiefs well you should have said that you should have said my heart is with Lamar I didn't want to say that I wanted to say it how I said it and you were wrong and you're gonna be wrong with this oh let's bet put your money where your mouth is what do you think you could give up? McDonald's. You think you could give up McDonald's? Thank you. God damn, Real, you in trouble there. I'm telling you, I could do it.

I could do it. I don't believe it, Ocho. I'm just saying I don't believe it. You didn't believe I could go on first take and do what I did. You already had to put on first take, Ocho. That was 10 years ago. But you were on first take. Nah, I'm on that now, though.

Oh, Lord. I'm on that now. I'm a foot in the door. That's all I needed. NFL honors. We have some awards passed out. Lamar Jackson was the MVP. Christian McCaffrey.

Go ahead and applaud. Christian McCaffrey was Offensive Player of the Year. Miles Garrett won Defensive Player of the Year. CJ Stroud, the Houston Texan, was Offensive Rookie of the Year. Will Anderson Jr., Defensive Rookie of the Year, also from the Texans. The Coach of the Year was Kevin Stefanski,

and Comeback Player of the Year was Joe Flacco. Of all the awards, what's your biggest surprise? Biggest surprise. Joe Flacco, of all the awards, what's your biggest surprise? Biggest surprise. Joe Flacco. Comeback player of the year. Yeah, comeback player of the year. Obviously, Joe, he came in and replaced of injured Deshaun Watson. He only came back from being old.

There wasn't nothing wrong with it. That too. He came back. He played good football. He played good football. He made the Cleveland Browns look different. It looked different. But all year long, I kept hearing DeMar Hamlin yes DeMar Hamlin DeMar Hamlin and you know there

were some games where he didn't play but I just thought comeback player of the year would be would have been him someone that almost passed the man almost died almost died so being able to even even play this year put a helmet on put a helmet. He's the one comeback player of the year. Yeah. For me, I'm going to go Kevin Stefanski. Why? Because the Cleveland Browns were picked to be a playoff team, even though Deshaun went out and they played with probably three or four quarterbacks. But what D'Amico Ryan did with the Houston Texans,

a rookie head coach, a rookie quarterback, win 10 games, win the division. For me, I think that's the biggest surprise. And a playoff game. And won a playoff game, absolutely. If you want to say defensive player, I was a little surprised that Miles Garrett, considering he finished seventh in sacks, I thought probably T.J. Watt because he's the first player to lead the league in sacks three times. Three times, yeah.

But I think there might have been some other factors and other variables that they considered when it came to picking the defensive player of the year. I don't know what they are. Obviously, I'm sure it's more than just obviously sack total, which is why he won it. Right. Yeah, Cleveland's defense, I think defensive efficiency, they were number one. But Miles had an outstanding year. Congratulations to all the guys that won.

It's a huge honor. Lamar Jackson, a two-time league MVP, a two-time all-pro player, three-time Pro Bowl player, and he's only 27 years of age. I have a question. Are you going to hold Lamar Jackson to an even higher standard? Absolutely. Now that he's a two-time MVP. Absolutely.

Absolutely. And everybody should. You can't say this. You have now, really, you have to hold him to the standards that you hold of Patrick Mahomes, that you hold of Aaron Rodgers, that you held of Tom Brady, of Peyton Manning, those guys. Because there are not very many guys that can say, I have two MVPs.

He has two. He's led the league in passing. He's been an all-pro. So why should we hold him to any different standard than we held the all-time greats? Because that's the class that he's in now currently. Ocho? Okay, I got you.

I'm just curious. I'm just making a show so I'll be ready for next year. No, the question is not whether I'm going to. The question is whether are you going to. Yeah, of course I'm going to. But a quarterback is only good at supporting cast. So as long as those pieces are around, I'm just telling you. You see what we're doing now?

We already started it. No, no, no. I'm just telling you. You see we're doing that? You see, we already started it. I'm just saying, it is true. A quarterback is only good at supporting the cast. So who had the better supporting cast? The better supporting cast, Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes? Patrick Mahomes. So that's not what you said. That's not what you said on nightcap

For real? You said offensively Oh you forget What about Zay Flowers And Bateman And likely And that running game And that offensive line

We talk about Patrick Mahomes We can't You definitely cannot I thought we was Holding Lamar to the same standard We holding Patrick Mahomes We are We are

He just wasn't able to come to shortcomings I just asked you a simple question. Okay. And see, now you waffling already. I'm not. So you're not going to hold

Lamar to that same standard. I'm holding him to the same standard. Can we start that next year? When the next season starts. He had that talent this year. We knew he was going to win the MVP

going into that game. Did we not? You said he's going to be the MVP. Why did they lose the game? Huh? Why did they lose the playoff game? Lamar didn't play well. And it's okay to say that. Okay. Did we not? You said he's going to be the MVP. Why did they lose the game? Huh? Why did they lose the playoff game? Lamar didn't play well.

And it's okay to say that. Okay. Did he play well? He had some mistakes. He had some mistakes. I'm just saying he had some mistakes. Did he play well? He didn't play well, but there was some other.

That's all you have to say. Wait, let me finish. Okay. There was some other factors that went into them losing that game. There was a fumble. Who fumbled the ball? There was a strip sack. Who did that?

Zay trying to cross the line. Okay, who had that strip sack? Left tackle got beat. Who had the ball? He held the ball a little bit too long. Okay, the interception and the triple coverage. Who threw that one? To likely, he threw that.

Who is he? I don't know who he is. Lamar. Okay, well, who lost the ball in the strip side? The left tackle's fault. Oh, now we... It's the left tackle. Listen, we can't blame it on one person.

For one, the play call was bad. We did with Dak. When the Cowboys lose, we blame Dak. When Buffalo lose, we blame Josh Allen. But now, I noticed this with you and a lot of fans out there, that every time the Ravens lose, we blame everybody else except Lamar. We blame Josh Allen. But now, I noticed this with you and a lot of fans out there, that every time the Ravens lose, we blame everybody else except Lamar. Now, actually, when any team loses,

I place the blame on everybody that's responsible for it. Well, who gets the most of the credit when they win? Everybody or the quarterback? The head coach. Don't do that. The head coach. Don't do that. You don't think so? Don't do that.

You don't think? I'm just asking. When a team wins, who gets the credit? The head coach. Don't do that. You don't think so? Don't do that. You don't think? I'm just asking. When a team wins, who gets the credit? The head coach? The quarterback gets the credit. All right. Why you do that? I'm just telling you.

From what I see on TV, when teams win, they talk about the quarterback, but it's also the head coach and what he's done for the team. Really? The Houston Texans. CJ Stroud had a great year. Who gets all the credit? CJ Stroud. D'Amico Ryans. CJ. Alright.

Maybe you watching a different TV. You know, first of all, without a quarterback, it doesn't matter who the quarterback is. Okay, Coach Belichick. How much credit did he get this year? Who? If it's all about the head coach, if Belichick got six championships. Yeah. Okay, so why didn't he win this year?

He didn't have a quarterback. He didn't have a quarterback. He didn't have a quarterback. He didn't have a quarterback. But you just said it's the head coach. Let me ask you a question. Ask me one. If you got a car, right? Yes.

But you ain't got no goddamn steering wheel, where you going? If you got a car, but you ain't got no motherfucking steering wheel, where you going? What kind of car I'm driving? Come on, man. Come on, man. Come on, man. If I got a smart car, I can go anywhere I want to because I'm using my feet anyway. Don't do that. Oh, my bad.

You got a smart car. My bad. My bad, Ocho. No, but you know what I'm saying. Yeah. You know what I'm saying. I hate the fact that quarterbacks obviously get held to a different standard. Yes.

It's not fair because, again, a quarterback is only good as a supporting cast. Some quarterbacks are really great, and they can overcome having a lack of talent around them. One of those being Patrick Mahomes. They were fucking shit. Oh, I'm sorry. I curse. My bad. They were horrible all year.

Yes. The receivers led the NFL in drops. Yes. What happened? Patrick Mahomes found a The receivers led the NFL in drops. Yes. What happened? Patrick Mahomes found a way to overcome the lack of— He stopped turning the ball over, too, because remember, in three playoff games, he doesn't have a turnover. Yeah. So he stopped turning the ball over also.

Yeah. So we can't just say the receivers were dropping the ball. Patrick Mahomes played at a level that we weren't accustomed to seeing him play at either, which was very poor. Now, we got to judge Patrick Mahomes on Patrick Mahomes. Not against anybody else because if you judge him against anybody else in the league, you're going to say, man, he had a pretty good season. But when you judge him against Patrick

Mahomes, that's how you got to judge Lamar now. You got to judge Lamar against Lamar Jackson. Not against other quarterbacks. You got to judge him as a two-time league MVP. A two-time All-Pro player. Okay. I got you.

I'm with you. We on the same page. Okay. We on the same page. I just want to make sure we on the same page in the same book, though. Yeah. Same book, same page. Mahomes said, Chiefs are okay being the villains.

It's a price of winning. Mahomes says, I think just like winning, if you win a lot and that causes you to be a villain, then I'm okay with it. But at the end of the day then I'm okay with it. But at the end of the day, I'm going to enjoy playing the game and try to win as much as possible. You agree with what he's saying? Absolutely. People hate consistency. People hate consistency when it comes to teams that you don't like and not a fan of, and they constantly win all the time. The Patriots went through the same thing. Small example. I'm going to just take boxing, for instance. Right.

Floyd. Yes. Everybody loved when Floyd was winning early in his career. Yes. But when he kept winning, he became the villain. Yes. And then everybody paying in and tuning in to see him lose. Right.

That's it. He became the villain, not that he wanted to, but it's the fact that he kept winning consistently. Now the Chiefs are in the same boat. Yes, that's how it happens because we love Tom Brady. Oh! T-Pain, what's up, bro? No, no, no.

Come on, have a seat. No, no, no. Have a seat. What did I do? You join in. I was just saying what's up. 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... I'm Leon Nafak, 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. So, okay, we ask everybody, I mean, we kind of 50-50, Chiefs, 49ers,

who you like for the season? You know what, man? You know, everybody always asks me who my favorite team is, and I've done a lot of halftime shows, so it's kind of whoever paying me for the week. I mean, at this juncture, man, you know, I hate to base it off of my relationships, but I do know Taylor Swift personally,

so I got to kind of... You go with the Chiefs? I got to... You know, I don't want to, but it's, you know, all that money in them boxes up there, it's just you want to stick around the checks, you know what I mean? Yeah. I just don't want to weigh my own,

I want to outweigh my chances, but, you know, hey man, good luck to everybody, but at the same time, only one of them paid me so far what happened i'm gonna ask you this there's been a lot of fans are upset they say they show taylor too much and not focus on what's going on the field what do you think about that are they showing taylor too much i think they show celebrities the same amount i think they show jack nicholson a lot they used to i think they show uh spikeolson a lot. They used to. I think they show Spike Lee a lot. Yeah.

Anybody that show up, I think they show Lil Wayne a lot. I think, you know, but, you know, it's a white lady. So, you know, everybody goes. You're going to get noticed a little easier. So are you doing, are you performing, or are you in town for the Super Bowl? Well, I'll start my residency tonight at Zouk right there, right next door. So I was just coming to say what's up. I still ain't took a shower today, so I'm going to go ahead and do that.

I want to ask you this. Let me ask you this. I've heard you sing, and I've heard you sing songs, and you didn't have auto-tunes. What made you decide to use auto-tunes when your voice is as good as anything we have? Because if I would have came out singing, I would have just sounded like everybody else. No, you don't sound like everybody else. It would have just been another voice. Right. You know what I mean?

So there's nothing special about it. There's people in this crowd that can sing, that can out-sing me right now. Don't they not? I'm sure there is. Not in this? Cinco. Yeah. Oh, sure there is. Not in this? Cinco. Yeah. Yeah. You heard that new

Toby and Cinco? That thing's crazy. I mean, I would have just been another voice. You know what I mean? Especially, you know. In the rap game. Dark skin, dreads, wasn't a lot of space for me. You know what I mean? When I came out, had to be light skin, low haircut.

It was a lot going on. I had to be able to dance. I was fat. It was a lot of space for me. You know what I mean? When I came out, it had to be light skin, low haircut. It was a lot going on. I had to be able to dance. I was fat. It was a lot going on. It had a lot going against me. It wasn't really working out for me. But no, I made it through because there was something different

about my voice. You know what I mean? So I needed something to break through the fog. I heard the other day you talking about how you wrote a lot of songs or you've been writing songs

for country musicians. And the credits was kind of getting you in trouble because you was getting some blowback and you was like man if that just got me to check don't put my name in yeah no it wasn't really blowback it was just like i don't know what we can say on the show you good you good we rated r the comments on there was just like... Was it N-word? It was a lot of N-word. It was a lot of it. It was a bunch. That was primarily the word that I saw a lot. Anytime somebody said

I had anything to do with this song, I was like, what's this nigga doing on this song? Why you got anything to do with him? I thought you were a patriot.

It was just a lot of that. It was just... It was a lot. But did the check clear? Oh, the check always cleared. And it cleared on time. That's the crazy thing. Country music is very punctual.

Very punctual with the checks. You deal with some of these darker companies. They give you that 90 days. The contract says 90 days. We're going to send it at 91. Do you remember when you was growing up And they ask you They post date of the check

Oh absolutely Don't pass this I put a Friday on it Don't you take your ass To the bank on Thursday You can just not cash this For me real quick I'm going to come back on Tuesday

I'm going to let you know If you can cash it then But probably don't do it then If it's Wednesday I'm going to just cut you another check I'm going to come pay another one Because I'm going to move banks You see Bank of America

They messing me up See what I'm saying So I'm going to move to Chase And I'm going to come Write pay another one because I'm going to move banks. You see, Bank of America, they're messing me up. See what I'm saying? So I'm going to move to Chase and I'm going to come right to a Chase one. If that don't work, I'm going to need you to go to Western Union and with Dixie and then we can probably just make it work from there. It don't work. It's just too many steps. Too many steps. What do you want to say, Ocho?

I want to have a sing-off. I want to have a sing-off. I got to sing tonight. Sing-off, I got to. You coming to the residency? Matter of fact, let me perform with you. Come on up there. No, I'm serious.

You have the shortest residency in Vegas. That should be one night only. With T-Pain featuring Ocho. No, no, no, no, no. Listen, I moved the needle now. I can sing. If you want an example, let me know. Listen, I moved the needle now. I can sing. If you want an example, let me know. Hit a note right there.

What you think? I'll take that. That was... One to ten. One to ten. Be honest. Be honest. Because my vocal coach ain't here.

She in Miami. I will say this. On one to ten, that's a hot four. You did good. I said a hot four. That's almost a five. I'm telling you. See, that's a good...

That's good. It's a hot four. I'm telling you. You did all right. She playing gay more than. I'm telling you, you did it. She playing gave you more than what I was going to give you. What you gave me? It wasn't on the scale that you put it in, between one and ten. I needed to be lower than one.

That's messed up. I needed a negative energy. Listen, you gave me something to work with. I got, see, I can throw a bunch of auto-tune on that and make something happen. Auto-tune, that sound like a 10. Man, you can use auto-tunes, cartoons, ain't enough tunes. Looney tunes, ain't enough tunes to make that boy sound good.

T-Base, stop playing. I'm telling you. I didn't heard a lot of real bad singers get turned into real good singers. It's just a little bit engineering. They sound like him? I mean, a little bit worse, actually. Oh, my goodness. Some critically acclaimed artists. Thank you. Really? I mean, a little bit worse, actually. Oh, my goodness. There we go.

Some critically acclaimed artists. I'm telling you. Really? Yeah, some of these artists, y'all think. Some other tools could do that? Oh, man, let me tell you. That's why everybody thought I was fake with it. They didn't know how talented you actually were because you had it.

Yeah, yeah. Now, you got to be able to make it sound good. You got to sing in some kind of capacity to make it sound good. But with the right engineer and a bunch of money behind you Absolutely, you can go well. He did it in Jennifer MIT Both y'all rich enough to do anything you want I was gonna stay in my wheelhouse. I know you're in your finances from all these people I'm sorry. I'm here to tell you Ocho Ocho the cheap one I mean, I spend. Even though he was on a bombardier the other day.

Nope. Nope. I didn't pay for nothing. You didn't pay for nothing? I didn't pay for nothing. No, sir. And they think I'm flying back with them. It ain't happening.

Why not? No, absolutely not. That was very uncomfortable. It just wasn't me. I like, listen, I ain't even got a fucking pre-check. I ain't got pre-check. People say...

Listen, me and my old lady, we go to the airport. She got pre-checked. She say, why don't you get pre-checked? For what? What am I paying $85 for? And we get to the gate at the same time. We board at the same time. We land at the same time. What's the point? It's $85 a year.

When you was growing up and you was thinking about making money and getting out, so what did you want to do? So you wanted to make money to stay the exact same?

You don't dress the same you did when you was in Liberty City. I look just like this. No, you don't. You have a Cuban? Yes. Man, stop lying. I had a Cuban at 14. Boy, you was born in Church, Mice.

Absolutely. Why would I not do that? Thatime show. You in? Absolutely. Absolutely. Why would I not do that? That's a no-brainer. Is that a dream? Is that a lifelong dream? It's not a lifelong dream because I figured out sometimes you got to pay to perform and everything. I don't want to do that.

Right. I don't want to lose money coming to the Super Bowl. That's terrible. Right. I got to come here to make money. Unless I go push Usher off the stage and some shit. Then I'll do that. That'd be cool as hell.

I'll do that. I'll do that. I'll do that. I'll do that. I'll do that. I'll do that. You know I do? That. That what? Oh my goodness. What'd I do? Man, I thought there was a goat with a head in the fence the way you was sitting there. Come on, I'll do that. You know I can hold a note now. He said I'm a foe. Scale of one to ten to four. A foe is good. I ain't had no lessons in like seven years. You know, I used to lead the choir back in the day. Ocho, you ain't set foot in a church in 40 years. And you ain't but 43.

No, I'm 56. But I learned, I'm just saying, when my grandma, my grandma had me in church, I led the choir all the time. You don't even drive by a church. I do. The only church you been to is Church's Chicken. I used to lead the choir.

You want to see? No, I do not. Near the cross. No, you do not. Near the cross. No, you ain't been near no cross. No river. You ain't been near nothing. Why you do that? I know how to sing, man.

I don't, man. I take my hat off the rail. You know what happened? Honestly, honestly, once I hit puberty, shit change. That's what happens. Yeah, that's what happens. Yes, yes. Shit change. I mean, everything else change except, you know.

Liz is hot. You know. 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... 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. The guy that's coming to the stage has been an all-pro. He's been a Super Bowl Orlando Brown Jr. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Appreciate y'all, man. Who they, dawg? Yeah.

I already know, man. Appreciate y'all having me on. Oh, I appreciate you stopping by. Yeah, yeah. Your former team is in the Super Bowl again. Yeah, hell yeah. What are your thoughts? What are you feeling?

You're like, damn, I really left a great situation. Yeah. I mean, honestly, I already knew that, though. Did you? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think oftentimes, man, especially in our position, our profession in the NFL, it's easy to put pleasure over business. And, man, the relationships that I built over there, the people that I knew, my coaches, my O-line coach, Pat, Trav, everything that they built and still building, I knew what I was leaving. But at the end of the day, man, I feel like I ended up in a great situation.

And, I mean, I definitely think the Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl. You know, just because that's what they do, man. Right. You know what I mean? So what happened? Because, as you mentioned, you had a great situation. You got the best quarterback. You got a historically great tight end, an offense that's flowing like a well-oiled machine. It seems like there was a situation where you wanted X, and they were willing to pay you like R or S.

Yeah, yeah. And that's exactly kind of, you know of how it went, I would say. You know, the thing about the sport and the organizations, y'all were top dogs, y'all understand, is it's only so many that get the big plate. You know what I mean? Like it's a lot of guys at the table, but it's only three that's going to really get that big plate.

Get that bag. Yeah, to where, you know, you live in how you live in, and you got the respect and all that different stuff. So I just felt like it was a situation, man, where my role was somewhat, you know what I mean, minimized just because of where I am in my career. Go ahead, Ochoa. The biggest threat to the Chiefs in the AFC is our Bengals. Absolutely.

You heard that, huh? The biggest threat to the Chiefs in the AFC is our Bengals with the healthy Joe Burrow. Yeah, everybody know that. What do you think about us next year when we get Joe back healthy? Do we get T back? You think T Higgins coming back? I'm sure they're probably going to franchise him, right? Yeah, I imagine that's probably how to go down. So with a healthy with a healthy Joe, I think we are right back in contention or probably in the playoffs.

And we'll probably be in this position next year. Your thoughts? I agree, though, because I feel like, man, at the end of the day, a lot of our losses, you know, not taking any credit away from my man Jake. You know, it came down to quarterback playing a few situations here and there. And I mean, Joe Burrow is top two, top three quarterback in this league. Right. And has proven that, you know what I'm saying? And getting him back, man, our defense. And I think the best thing that we really have going is we got a strong front office dog like they like they love the game. They know ball. They go get the guys that they want. And, you know, when you have that type of mindset up up front upstairs, you know, and ownership and front office.

I mean, dog, the sky's the limit. You know what I mean? And I think having like you said, all them names you dropped off, getting them back like that's important. And I think everybody, everybody know that in the league kansas city too what's the biggest difference and i'm not talking about play but what's the biggest difference because you played with patrick mahomes for a number of years you only played one year with joe burrow what is the biggest difference in the style of like leadership what they're like in the huddle what they're like in the locker room yeah what is the biggest difference that you can share with us between those two guys yeah um man pat mahomes is like a michael jordan-esque approach you know where hey if you're not on if you're not singular focus hey if you if you're not on 10 yeah hey he he on your ass straight up if if mahomes has that

michael jordan-esque type approach then what would Joe be in comparison to? Larry Bird? Larry? Okay. Okay. Okay. I feel like, you know, the thing about Pat, man, is he always did a tremendous job. And just like Joe, really any of the top quarterbacks getting the most out of their guys.

I think John Elway, you know what I mean? He going to get the most out of his guys. He going to relate to everybody in the locker room. You know, he mixed, so that helps a lot. Yes. And, you know, I think that's one thing to me that always stood out about Pat, too, was his work ethic, man. He's such a hard worker. His attention to detail was crazy.

How involved he is with that organization, how involved he is with the game plans on the weekly, the daily focus. It's special. And then I take you to my man Joe Shiesty. Joe Shiesty got it figured out. Joe Shiesty is different. And I think the thing that he's really mastered is timing.

And he's so emotional, but you would never know that just seeing him. You know what I'm saying? You would never know that listening to his interviews or seeing him talk, but he's so emotional. He's hitting his helmet after scrambling for a first down on third down. You know, I remember we lost to the Titans. Zach didn't even have to bring us up. It's Joe Burrow. You know what I mean? Letting the Titans. Zach didn't even have to bring us up. It's Joe Burrow.

You know what I mean? Letting the team know that, hey, this is what we got to do. And spoke to the team before training camp and all those different things. Man, I admire that about Shiesty, man. It's just really his timing. Yeah. You already know. You was in Kansas City.

And obviously, Eric Bien-Aimé was the offensive coordinator. Why do you feel EB hasn't got a job as a head coach? Yeah, it's really unfortunate, man, because, you know, I hate to put it like this, but this is just the real. Oftentimes ownership, I think, ends up in a situation where they're looking for the guy that they can relate to. And they're looking for the guy that they feel comfortable with. And, you know, if you owned a business and you were hiring someone um in that prime of position you're looking for that as well and i think too often man eb has gotten caught in the wing of that and in terms of how he is as a coach his how is he as a coach an amazing coach but he's but he's old school you

know what i mean he gonna let you know that's one of the problems when you're wrong he gonna let you know you're wrong regardless of who you are absolutely he to let you know. That's one of the problems. When you're wrong, he going to let you know you're wrong, regardless of who you are. Absolutely. He going to let you know. I've seen him get into it with 15, 87. Coach Reed, you know what I mean? Wow. You know what I mean? So he the real deal, man.

And that's what I appreciated about him as a coach was, man, his focus. Like that attention to detail that he came with on a daily basis, the energy. Like that's, you know, I mean, I don't want to take too much credit away from players, but it was one of the things that kept the engine rolling. Yeah. See, that's one of the problems, though. Did you hear how you notice you notice you said that old school playing style? That's one of the reasons why I think personally that Bill Belichick doesn't have a head coaching job right now. You have these younger players, younger generation in that old school that old that old school style is not going to resonate with these young boys not at all they're going to shut down they're going to talk back you you know i'm trying to say and i think that's why the nfl owners are going more towards younger coaches yeah that are

players coaches and can relate to the younger generation a little bit better you also got to think too a lot of times with these coaches, some of their biggest fear is losing the quarterback guy, losing the QB coach, losing the offensive coordinator. So now what they're doing, they're going to hire that young QB mind, knowing and stirring that up for long term while going out and dealing with the rotation of a defensive coordinator or something like that. So, you know, it's weird how the game has gone.

But it seems to me, and I know E.B. a little bit. I'm a couple of years older than he is. But it seems like he's big on accountability. Huge. There's a level of expectation that he has for every player. And he wants you to come with that singular focus every single day to get better. And then come game time, I expect you to be where you're supposed to be, do what you're supposed to do.

And if you're not that, I'm going to be on you. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, the standard in Kansas City is so high. The standard is so high. We finish every play up front. We finish with a burst. You know what I mean?

Yes. And that's the standard as a Kansas City Chief. And so when you have that kind of standard mixed with an old school approach like Coach EB, you're going to get the most out of a lot of guys. Right. And that's why you see so many young men, I feel like, coming to there because of the structure. You know, how properly structured it is. It's, you know, it's somewhat different from college, but very similar in terms of the structure, man. But, I mean, EB was just, that's what he was.

When you talk about standard, right? Yo. And I think about the time I played with the Bengals 11 years, and there's been a huge shift in culture, a huge shift in discipline, and where even me as a fan now and even Bengal fans in Cincinnati, it's like no matter what happens, you already know you're going to be in contention every single season, no matter what, as long as nine is in place.

What do you think is the reason for that shift in culture? Yeah, it starts to a front. I mean, in the front office. And when you have a front office that is bringing in the right guys, that is going out and finding the Joe Burrow personalities, finding the T. Higgins, the Jamar Chases, you know, all those type of things are so important. And it starts with ownership in front office, trickle-a's on down to coaches,

the standard that Zach sets, how he is. And then on top of that, the players, man. It's on us as players, you know what I mean, to do our job at a high level week to week. What happened? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, you almost there. Hey, we do, hey. Yeah, you almost there now.

Hey, we almost there. Oh, big O, hey. You almost there now. Hey, we almost there. Oh, big O, we almost there. 999, 940. Yeah. 999, 940. Yeah. You follow? Ask you this question.

You watched, I'm sure you watched Chiefs and studied them. What was the biggest shift? Because you're talking about a team that was the most penalized offense. Their offensive line wasn't very good. They had Patrick Mahomes probably got sacked more than he had gotten sacked at any point in time. And then you see the 180 that happened in the playoffs. What do you think was the cause of that? Yeah, well, at times, man, I think, you know, sometimes as coaches,

it's easy to get caught up in last year and our identity. Last year's identity. You know what I mean? As an offensive play caller. And so I imagine. New left tackle, new right tackle. It's identity. You know what I mean? As an offensive play caller. And so I imagine like... New left tackle, new right tackle. It's chemistry.

Because playing with Pat Mahomes, I had to learn to have an understanding for the feel of the game. I had to understand that he's taking this deep drop because of the way

that he sees coverage. Right. 990. Oh! Oh, Joe! Oh, Joe! Oh, shit. Talk about it. We got to talk the other one, the other one. There's some champagne Oh Let's go, Ocho! Hey, now. How Ocho?

How Ocho? You want to do it with your arm now? Hit me better? I appreciate y'all. Oh, yeah! Ocho, come here. You just want to hold? Oh, shit.

Oh, hey, man. Me? Yeah! Yeah. Man, thank you so much. Oh, my goodness. Guys, you don't even really know how much this means to us. When Ocho and I put this thing together, when I called Doug, he was his agent, and I said, Doug, I got this idea.

Get your mic. I said, Doug, I got this idea. I called his agent. I said, Doug, I got an idea for a show. Me and Jamie Horowitz. Jamie's rolling right here somewhere. And we met with Doug and Ocho. I said, Ocho,

I got this idea. He said, I don't even want to hear no more about it. I'm with you, huh? I said, let me tell you the idea. He said, no, we good. And so this thing has taken off and been better than we ever, ever imagined. And it's because of you. Yeah, Ocho and I, we tell stories.

Yeah, we played the game of football we played it at a high level but and yeah we tell very interesting stories I mean I probably told some stories I probably shouldn't have told I got a few more to tell too I'm sure I'm gonna tell something tonight but but it's because of you I mean look at you guys that showed up we want to thank you for showing up we want to thank all of you guys that's in the live chat. So we really, really appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts. Hey, listen. First off, success on the field, right? Look at that.

Look at that. Oh, yeah. Hey. Oh, we in the club, man. Yeah. I like it. Red tail. Yeah.

But listen, I think about success on the field. You know, Shannon was very successful. think about success on the field. You know, Shannon was very successful. I was okay on the field. But without the fans, which I consider the meat and potatoes of success, we would be nothing. So when it comes to us doing nightcap, I want you all to give yourself a round of applause, too, for helping us reach this milestone, please. I thank you I really thank you from the bottom of my heart Because obviously he tried to give me the idea And tell me what this was all about

I didn't want to hear it I didn't want to care I just wanted something to do I like to fucking talk I talk a lot So listen I had no idea it would come to this In such a short amount of time And I thank y'all

I fucking love you And I really appreciate you And this is just the beginning because we just started and we're only what? Three months? Three months in? We're four months.

We hit 1,000 subs in exactly four months. Four months. Man, that's dope, man. Thank y'all, man. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much. Appreciate it.

Special, man. That's special. No, no. I want to ask you this. Your dad, Orlando Sr., played for the Browns. Yep. And I remember hearing you talking. I mean, they had moved you for the Browns. Yep. And I remember hearing you talking.

I mean, they had moved you to playing right tackle. Yeah. You say, but my dad envisioned me being a great left tackle. Yep. You weren't complacent, and you are a great right tackle. Oh, yeah. But something in your soul, something in your psyche just didn't sit right. You said dad would be happy for me,

but he would be much more happy if I was on the left side doing what I'm doing. Why was that such a big deal for you to move to the left side from the right? Yeah, it's somewhat of a long story, but we got time. Yeah, we got time. So my dad was an undrafted, he was a rookie minicamp invitee. Right. And he ended up getting to invite the otas and mini camp and the training camp and bill belichick puts him on ir as a rookie yes and he's hiding him and my dad's the bully guy

so he's coming from south carolina state at hbcu yep you know he's he's he's got a roof and so he he had to come in from the bottom and scratch and claw his way to the top right you know while also seeing guys like jonathan ogden be drafted in the first round. Seeing guys like Orlando Pace play really well at a high level. Walter Jones. And so growing up, he always emphasized to me, always spoke to me, be a better man than I

am in every way, shape, form, and fashion. And don't strive to beat me. Set higher standards for yourself. Go get Walter Jones. Go get Jonathan Ogden. Go see, go attain what they attain. And so, man, it's crazy, man. I get goosebumps when I think about it. A little emotional. But when I was in Baltimore, it was so hard for me to leave that situation because that was home for me. That know, that was the organization that, you know, gave my family the opportunity,

gave me the opportunity, man. Oh, what's that? That's tough. That's tough, man. But gave me the opportunity, you know, to be an offensive tackle in this league. Right. And, you know, taking you through the story and the transition, one of the first things that we talked about in my exit meeting as a rookie was, hey, we don't know they're playing

a left tackle. We know we have Ronnie Stanley, but we see you fit as a left tackle here as well in the future. And it's a business. I take everything with a grain of salt. You know what I mean? Right. But that was spoken about. Right. And so, you know, in due time, Ronnie Stanley has a unanimous all pro year. I mean, lockdown, flawless, flawless, flawless fifth year. And they extend him. The following year, he goes out there. He breaks his leg. I get the opportunity to be a left tackle.

My mentor is in the crowd. I remember talking to him and, you know, something he said to me was, was you know your dad really would want you to maximize on this opportunity yes and he would really want you to chase your dreams and aspirations and in baltimore i would have orlando brown jr day at my elementary school because i'm from there and they pull out a card from when i was seven years old um and the note card says where will you be 20 years from now and i said i'll be or 18 years from now? And I said I'll be, or 18 years from now, I said I'll be the starting left tackle for the Baltimore Ravens. And, you know, that for me in itself was such a feat, man.

It was so hard to leave that situation. But, you know, I had to do what I had to do because, man, for me, it was bigger than that. And the Baltimore Ravens organization, talking on the phone with the owner Steve Bishotti, Eric DaCosta, Ozzie Newsome, Coach Harbaugh, they all understood that, man. And I can't believe they sent me to Kansas City. I couldn't believe it, but the owner, Steve Bishotti, was like, man, you deserve this. You know, I don't want to see you nowhere in NFC North.

I don't want to see you in a shit situation. I want to see you. I want to see you in the right place, man. So forever indebted, you know what I mean, to that organization. Thanks for stopping by, OB. Orlando Brown Jr., ladies and gentlemen. Thank you. Thank you.

Appreciate you. Appreciate it. I'm going to see you. Yes, sir. We going to strip club tonight? No, no, no, no. Not me. Not me.

four months to the day, we started this YouTube channel on October the 8th, 2023. And here we are. That's crazy. And a lot of it is trickled over. I mean, guys, before Nightcap, I'm sure a lot of you guys have supported me with Club Shea Shea. And you rock with me.

I mean, we started out Club Shea Shea. We had like 50 subs, and then we had 1,000 subs, and then we had 2,000 subs, and then we had 10,000, 50,000. And my producer, CJ, is floating around here somewhere. And he said, just give it time. Just keep it. We keep doing great content. People will appreciate it. Yeah. And they'll subscribe. And guys, I try to give you the best. I try to give you people that I would want to hear, that I would want to listen to. And I would want to hear what they have to say. Yeah.

And guys, the way you've helped us grow Nightcap. Big time. Big time. Thank you. Man, I can't believe it. Thank you. Can you believe how fast and how big we've gotten so quick? Yeah.

How fast and how much it meant to get this many subscribers in such a short amount of time. Right. It's dope. This is dope. Again, thank you, man. Can y'all give yourself a round of applause one more time, please? Thank you. Thank you.
