Tax season, Boost Mobile wants you to turn your tax refund into six months of saving. When you buy six months on their best unlimited plans, Boost will give you another six months for free.

Well, that's great news because I'm not done yet. Visit Boost Mobile Store during tax season and enter to win up to $10,000 to double your refund. Or if you're really good at math and money stuff like me, pay off what you still owe. Okay, time to take my financial advisor hat off and put on my lawyer hat. Requires upfront payment, tax and fees extra, terms and exclusion apply. Visit BoostMobile.com for full offer terms and sweet details. And now I get back to my boring old day job. Head over to your nearest Boost Mobile store and make the most out of your tax refund. A man made a list of things

We just don't take off. And then ask questions later. Ooh, and not calling elders by their first name. There's a lot of people, I didn't know they was their first name.

I just know them as sir and ma'am, mom and dad until I was about ninth grade. That's when I was like, oh, that's your name. Ooh, and if you said what, you was dying and coming back to life again. Hey, I like them. Yes, and the first one is the most important.

The first one is the most important. I first one is the most important. Obviously, that check, but number two for me, his number two was cool, but obviously, his number two was, I think if I'm not mistaken, was talking about who did the body at the funeral. That's number three. Know who over there. You call somebody,

hey, who over there? Who all over there? We need to know who all over there, because it's a bull job i ain't going before that is if somebody cooking and the first thing you ask somebody gonna ask every time would have been number two for me well who cooking the yams well who cooking the greens that potato salad in the back yeah i got that you got to know who got them you know what did that body? He looked just like himself. How was he supposed to look? Like a horse? I mean, that's him. And that's old folk, man.

That's old folk. And the funeral? That's him. Where old folk go to the funeral, they go to the way, and they see the body? That's the first thing they say. Who did the body?

Every time. Yep. Who made a potato salad we take off running drinking and eating out the people remember I told you that little joke

nah nah oh no splitting pole hey we be there hey come back right here man well you'll walk

back right you not no side we walking on the same side can't put the floor in the purse. Being Luther, skating Luther.

Oh, yeah. Definitely can't get no baby no haircut before he won. Can't do that. Calling elders by their first name. Nah. Mr. Such and such. They might not be about five, six years older than you. It's always Mr.

Yes, ma'am. No, ma'am no ma'am absolutely uh case we to tell you being offered a bag after purchase i hate when people like i got like 70 stuff would you like a bag no i'm gonna carry this what the hell hold on that and not you know you go to certain places now, certain stores, and you buy clothes on, you got to pay 10 cents for the bag? They add one bag? Yes. Well, obviously I do because I'm not going to be able to carry all this stuff.

I don't know what you're talking about. Would that be 10 cents? What? And at some stores, though, Joe, if you bring your own bags, they won't bag it. I said, well, no, you go ahead and do that. I don't work here. What the hell are you talking about? Time to talk.

And it's like, well, how much does this cost? I said, I don't know. I'll stay right there. Time's a different. Would you like to get another one? Yeah, you can go get it, but I'm not going to walk back over there and get another one.

Y'all going to be like, I work here. Y'all work here. I done did my part. I came to the counter. But yeah, bro, I agree with these. Clothes on the bed. Nah, you can't put clothes on the bed. Good ones, man. Good ones.

And you saw that? Yeah, he's a lot of spot on. He did a survey with us to find out what we don't be doing. Uncle Ocho, my favorite chocolate duo, looking forward to seeing you in Beemore. I'm curious, what value or principle do you hold most dear? And how do they guide your approach in both business and romantic pursuit? Oh, Mamo, you know what?

I do everything. I do everything. I do everything. Oh, man. I'm trying to make sure I say it the right way. It's not great. Oh, man, damn. I had it right on the tip of my tongue. As soon as I heard it, I was like, oh, this is a good one.

You know, we know when things don't work out, but you meant well by everything you do. Which is why you never feel bad. Why you never feel bad because everything you did was with great intention. I'm trying to think if that's the right word. That's not the word I'm looking for. But that's something

that I always, always, always stood on and always stand on. Where I never feel bad throughout the entirety of my years, especially when it comes to business

and when it comes to, you know, relationships as well. Since she added that, added that in there as well. I do everything, everything from the heart and really want nothing in return. Like everything is always genuine.

Always. In business, just be straight up with me. Tell me what it is. If it's this, it's this. If it's not, it's not. That's all I ask. I don't require a whole lot.

I like to be left alone. I'm going to come in. I'm going to do my job. If I call you, I really got a problem. If I got a problem, if I call you, I got a problem.

Let's address it. Let's handle it. Let's see the best way to move forward. In my relationship, hey, if you don't want to be with me, just tell me. Yep. It's going to hurt.

It's going to hurt. Absolutely. But if you live as long as I have, I promise you, you've been hurt. You've been heartbroken before. Hey, I'll never forget. You just, ooh, that was triggering. Oh, man, that was triggering. You live long enough, you're going to be heartbroken.

And as I said before, when you don't want to end the relationship and the other person does, it hurts you more than it hurts them. Not to say it doesn't hurt them, because sometimes in order to change, it requires hurt. I got it. But think about it, Ocho. Shedding skin is painful but

you know why a snake sheds not to change from being a snake you're wrong that's why when somebody cross you

you don't allow them a second chance you know because when a snake sheds its skin it's not becoming something else

it's becoming a bigger snake let me tell you something now you're a little different I like that story now I say it was triggering sheds and skinned, it's not becoming something else. It's becoming a bigger snake. Let me tell you something. Now, you're a little different. I like that story. Now, I say it was triggering when you said about someone actually leaving you, and it was triggering because it brought me back to a story I'll never

forget. And I was just telling a friend of mine this story back in 1983. And they always ask, like, you know, Ojo, when your relationships have ended all this time, how come you were able to move on with such grace and not be upset

or not be sad? And I told them, listen, I've become numb to this stuff because back in 1983, that was the worst pain I ever felt. 1983, I was in elementary school.

I will never forget. There was a young lady and I told this story before, earlier, you know, in a few shows a while back. And her and I were dating. And I felt we were in a relationship even in elementary school. 1980, I'll never forget, North Beach Elementary. I had eight box of Crayola crayons.

Eight box, huh? Every time we sat together and we did coloring, I gave you my red crayon. I let you use my red crayon. So I felt we was together. You told me we was together. New dude named Ted came to our school in the middle of the semester. Obviously, it's not a semester because it's only elementary, but he came to our class. Ted had a 64 box of crayons.

So she went from using my red crayon to using one of Ted's red crayons because it had multiple shades of the color red in the box. Well, you only had an eight box. Yeah, there was only one red crayon. So he had multiple crayons. in the box. Well, you only had a, you only had a, a box, a, you know, it was only one red crayon. So he had multiple crayons.

And I mean, listen, it's, it's an, it's a testament to how things are today in this world, because, you know, that girl,

I never forget her name, her name, Tina. And that let me know when she grew up, if I only had $50, if a dude with a $100 came along, the chance she'd probably leave me. You know?

So ever since that hurt I felt back then, I've been numb ever since then. Ever since then. It's tough. Relationships are tough tough they're not easy I think everybody has come to that realization and understand they're not easy

it takes a lot of sacrifice because it's easier to grow apart than it is to grow together you see in order to stay in a relationship you've got to want to stay in the relationship and you've got to be willing to grow every day because that's a new person the person that you went to bed

with last night is not the person you're going to wake up with today. Are you willing to change? I mean, because it's the days that you're not your best and they're not at their best because that's a lot of times what happens, Ocho. They're not at their best. You're not at

their best. You can say, okay, F this. I'm out. Because it's easy to quit. The easiest thing you'll ever do, no matter what it is, is give up. It's the easiest way. And another thing, especially for the chat, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen to me real quick. Y'all probably listen. You might not like the messenger, but my message is always good.

You just don't like it coming from me sometimes. Now, I got 47 years of experience, you know, doing this, you know. But anyway, most of the time, when you're going through it with your partner, whoever it may be, and things are rocky and you don't know what you should do, let them go. Let them go. Because the only way to see someone's true character i'm talking about their true character and who you really dealing with dealing with

is by giving them their freedom and they'll show exactly what they really want to be doing every time huh give them their freedom let them go on about their business you know give them their freedom let them go on by their business you know give them give some time give them some space because space will reveal some true character now i know what you're always telling me i i hear what you're telling me all the time but you actually show otherwise i hear brother man listen every time and i'm not i'm not telling you i'm not here because what they're telling you Ocho and what you see that message is not

lying yeah if I tell you if I tell you I'm gonna come on a certain time and I don't show up I know what you told me

but when I looked at the clock that wasn't the time and you didn't show up at all because at the end of the look at the end

of the day the beginning of the day or whatever the sunset or whatever the case may be if you do not want to be with shannon just tell shannon that and i'll do that huh ain't nobody ain't nobody finna leave you man stop playing man it's happened but i like i like honestly i like being up front just tell me that and I'm okay with it yeah for real it's happening Ocho

because here's the thing a lot of times guys get in a situation and like oh that's never happened to me you're lying because and the more you invest

in something you see how Luca was because he was invested the more you invest in something, you see how Luca was? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Because he was invested. The more you invest in anything, it used to break my heart to lose because I was so invested. And a lot of times I would have to go to myself,

be alone. I would say, Hey, I don't want to be, I don't, I don't want to see you tonight. Well, I just know. And I would just like, I would, I would cry. And I've asked, what could I have done? Why? would say hey i don't want to be i don't i don't want to see you tonight well i just know and i

would just like i would i would cry and i've asked what could i have done why did i not play back it's the same thing in a relationship and i replay that because see the mind replays what the heart can't delete and i ask myself what could i have done differently what could i have said differently why did I have to respond the way I did in this situation? Why couldn't I be more calm? Why couldn't I be more understanding, more empathetic? And as the more things you go through, you start to realize like, okay, Shannon, it wasn't as bad as you thought you could have handled that a million different ways

and 999,000 of them would have been right you chose the one that was wrong it was tough it's tough I think the thing for me is that

because I've been through so much, because I'm a very private person, people don't see that. Because I don't live my life. I'm a public figure. I've come to accept that. But I do everything I possibly can to keep as much of my private life private, don't you? So guess what? I can go through things in private. I can grieve in private. I can celebrate in private. I'm okay with that. I can take my wins and my losses. Yeah. I like that. That was good.

That was good. That was good. 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. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, your hands can't hit what your eyes can't see. Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part Audible original.

Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best. Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and principles, things he believed in, his own sense of conviction. Those convictions never wavered. Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali, and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey, Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply

into Ali's extraordinary life through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas. It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know. As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity. There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime. Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible. 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. Man, that was good, bro. Yeah. It happens. Cupcake Mama. Good evening, guys of the public figure. Where do you all go to be fully yourselves with no judgment?

If your love life was a book, what would the title of the last chapter be? Where can I go to be my fully self? Where can I go? Probably if I'm with my brother, my sister, my kids. But I'm only like that if I'm in the privacy of my own home. But I'm never myself when I'm out in public. Oh, shoot. But you better. When I'm with my sister, I'm with my brother, I'm with my kids,

I'm straightened up. Because, Ocho,cho is just so hard because I feel that every place I go, I'm being recorded, I'm being filmed. And I think you have to do that now. And some things you learn a hard lesson.

So for me, nowhere. And I'm okay with that, Ocho. I'm okay with that ocho i'm okay with that yeah hey i'm boy i mean when i think about it i'm i'm myself i'm very comfortable obviously publicly um you and i are completely different okay we are two sitting two different sides of the spectrums you know i'm i'm a i'm very sociable. I'm a social butterfly, which at times has gotten me in trouble, you know? I'm able to be myself in front of crowds.

I love large crowds. Or I can be, you know, be by myself and be alone and be with my kids. I'm able to be myself with my kids, most definitely. I'm able to be myself with whoever it is I'm seeing at that time. Where there's a certain level of comfort with said individual.

I'm one of the few. Is it altruvert? Is that what it's called? Altruvert? Altruvert? Introvert? Altruvert? Introvert.

No, I'm the opposite. Introvert is an extrovert. You're outgoing. I'm talking about superior. I mean, people in the chat, if you've met me before, you already know I'm hugging, I'm acting like I know you 30, 20 years. I never met you a day in my life. I'm extremely outgoing.

I have a huge personality. So for me, ah, man, I'm at my happy place, man, all the time. Especially with my babe. I'm the most outgoing introvert you're gonna ever meet

I'm I understand that blah blah blah but Ocho when I when I if I'm in a public event and I'm talking

I'm going from place to place Ocho when I get home it's like I play the game I'm exhausted I'm exhausted I'm spent I mean it's like I play the game I'm exhausted I'm exhausted I'm spent I mean it's all I can do to take my shoes off to take my clothes off to hang them up

put them in the laundry I'm exhausted I'm on a plane Ocho and I catch people they're recording me I'm like bro Ocho they ask me if that's a. I'm like, bro. Ocho, they asked me if that was a problem. I'm like, really? Really?

If you didn't think it was a problem, you would have asked me. Could I take a picture? That's not what you did. Hey, I'll play into it. Yeah, I'll catch you recording me. I'm going to play into it. I'm going to walk up on you, tell Tell you turn the camera around And make a whole video We're going to make a video together

See I I play into stuff like that Instead of I mean you and I We We handle conflict And situations Completely different

Yeah but you know You know the thing is I think you just You know You I've learned to accept it That this is a, I've, I've learned to accept it, that this is a part of it. Now I've learned to accept a lot of things that people don't have. Uh, I'm going to be the top of a conversation.

Um, you just deal with it. You just deal with it. I know now Ocho what to respond to and what not to respond to. And, uh, people want me to respond. They want to get into a verbal back and forth.

I'm done with it. I'm done with it. Cause guess what Ocho? You see that light? What's behind us? All that stuff that they say about me, it ain't stopped. Not one sponsor.

Guess what? Jordan came here and measured. We got another sponsor. We're going to have a light on ain't stopped. Not one sponsor. Guess what? Jordan came here and measured. We got another sponsor. We're going to have a light on for that too. You going to send me one? Not if you don't turn it on. Why am I sending you one? You don't turn it on.

You got to tell me. Hold on. Let me know before I do the measurements tomorrow. I'm putting everything up. Hey, this apartment is empty. Ain't nothing here. I left this here because I still have my internet. My internet going to be tomorrow. I'm putting everything up. Hey, this apartment is empty. Ain't nothing here. I left this here because I still have my internet. My internet going to be tomorrow.

How much space I need to put between the sponsors so I can measure tomorrow? I don't know. I mean, Jordan just measured mine. We'll see how big it is. I need to know how many words are in it so I can have everything perfect. I got a big space so I'm going to have all the sponsors. But you don't know the space that you'm going to have all the sparkles. But you don't, but Ocho, you don't know the space

that you're going to have, that you're going to have the nightcap sign. No, I do. It's huge, huh? You got to see, you got to see my new game room, huh? You're going to love it.

And y'all, you and Ash and Jordan, y'all got to come down here and visit. I'm going to cook for y'all. Oh, no, I'm good. I'm good. And so, that's the thing.

I just learned and I had to learn the hard way going back and forth with people. And they got more out of that than I did. So now I just let it go. Well, you let yours go. I'm firing back when somebody says something to me. You can go right ahead. Because guess what? This side.

That was my first time going to a game, so I didn't know what to expect. You know, everybody making fun of WNBA. Are they doing all this talking about? I ain't never seen no atmosphere like that. Nigga, from start to finish, they was rocking. When it was a timeout, it was lit. It was a party. At halftime, it was lit.

You see him? Get with it. He's going crazy, too. But I told one of the players, man, drop fodder. He looked at me and dropped fodder, too. I like it. I like it. And the relationship, and the relationship DC has with the players.

I mean, I see Trey and I see those guys in the relationship and the relationship that you guys have with the Falcons players. Hell,

the Braves game, you know what it is though? Y'all are talented. You know what I'm saying? Y'all got a natural God gift that he blessed y'all with. Sometimes them players don't be having no support down there, man.

Nobody be coming to that game still at that level. Ain't nobody come to see them play. You feel me? So when they really have somebody there that really got their best interest, where they be like, look, I'm going to never say what you bad at. I'm going to only say, look, this can be tweaked and you a dog in this era.

This area right here. Don't, don't, don't get in your head. Long as you be a dog, you're going to be great. Especially at this level. Y'all done been to the NFL.

Only dog, y'all some dogs. You know a dog when you see one. That's why y'all talk, y'all talk every time you get a chance. But it's like,

if you don't have that dog feeling, bro, you'll just fall to the waist. You'll be like me? Yeah. Don't be over here with me. I'm just trying to keep you from being over here with me. Mm-hmm.

DC, what do you expect from the Hawks in the play-in tournament? You guys are solidified. You're in the play-in tournament, and you need to, obviously, the season didn't go the way you had hoped. Hope you'd be in the playoffs and not have to be in the playoffs, but here you are.

I feel like we're going to dominate. We're going to dominate. We're going to dominate. You know we're going to dominate because I'm going to be there. We just got to play hard and play smart. You feel what I'm saying? We got a lot of talent on our team. You feel what I'm going to be there. You just got to play hard and play smart. You feel what I'm saying? Like, we got a lot of talent on our team. You feel what I'm saying?

And when you put a lot of, you know what I'm saying, good Skittles in one bag, it's hard to pick one out. You feel what I'm saying? So it's kind of like you got to pace yourself out. You feel me? We got a great team, man. We got a high-energy team, too. So we got to know how to use that energy

from the first quarter all the way through. Yeah. So, listen, that's one question about the Hawks, but I'm going to talk about the Falcons. You've been riding with the Falcons forever, honestly. I don't want to know, what's your honest take on the new era, and are you rocking with the new young quarterback?

I almost just cried. Man. Hey, man, listen. I'm a real Atlanta fan, bro. I'm still messed up, but can I cuss on y'all's show? I almost just cried Man Hey man listen I'm a real Latter fan bro I'm still messed up Can I cuss on y'all show Is this

Yeah yeah yeah I ain't I ain't Cussing this heartfelt I'm messed up Still from the Super Bowl What the 23 You gotta repeat it though bro

Well I'm I'm just saying That's Don't do that Don't do that My bad my bad Listen You know what I'm just saying. Don't do that. Don't do that. My bad, my bad. You know what? I'm a Falcon fan to the heart.

I'm a Falcon fan to the heart. But I'm one of them real Atlanta Atlanta ATL-ing is where it's like you got to show me that y'all want to play for the city.

Right. Because now it's politics and it's business. I just can't come. I just can't come and I don't know what I'm about to get. At least I know what the Hawks, them boys will go out there and play hard.

The soccer team, they're going to go out there and win the championship. The Braves, they're going to go out there and they're going to hit some home runs. You go to a five game, you'll be like, man. So it's,

you know but I know we gonna be good I feel like with our new quarterback we starting to get back into our rhythm I think we been

out of our rhythm ever since the Super Bowl like we just been we ain't had we ain't had a rhythm I think we got the rhythm now I think we got it yeah y'all

y'all gonna be with y'all A A D C y'all be crunk up at A in the Mercedes cause people ain't got nowhere to go

people ain't got nowhere to go but y'all, hey, hey, D.C., y'all be crunk up at A in the Mercedes. Because people ain't got nowhere to go. People ain't got nowhere to go. But y'all be crunk. They just know niggas over there playing football. They like, look, we're going to pull up. It's going to be a game. But we just go. We just go. Hey, listen.

Hey, you know what? It's dope, obviously, being from Atlanta. And I can hear the passion and enthusiasm that you had for all your sports there, whether it be football, whether it be soccer, whether it be basketball. So let's go. You as an athlete yourself, if you could pick one sport, if you could do it all over again, you could pick one sport out of the three that you can play

and actually make it as an elite athlete, what would it be and what position would you play? Baseball because I played it the longest. But I play baseball to the 11th grade. Outfielder. You try to run on me. I play right field. I gun you down.

I mean, I can't say that. That means throw the ball. Hold on. That means throw the ball. Yeah, I know. I was a 5'2 in high school. What you talking about? I don't care about none of that.

You can get in the jump Get in the jump You're going to hit a ball The ball You already know what that means You already know what that means You hit a ball before it hit the mitt You're like, oh that ball

But I go with basketball Because It's easy to I want to say easy If you just get One time you get on ESPN, you got to know how to capitalize out there. You, you, you one of them. Everybody just think it's only one LeBron. No, it's so many people in the NBA.

If you want a name, all you need to do is act like you want a name. Do something. You feel me? Russell Westbrook, my favorite player, because he just got that aggression. He got that dog in him. If folk played like Russell, oh, man. How do you feel about the NBA with all these calls

and they can't even really play? How can they let them fight? They let them go to timeout, come back. What's going on, bro? What are we doing in basketball, man? They did away with that. The fans was turned off about that fight

like they used to have in the 70s and the 80s and even in the 90s. Hey, Davis, enough of this. They ain't going to skate, knock TV out, all that. The ref get out of the way. We go in, we can't even get a file. Plus, DC, you making $56 million. I ain't finna get none of that backfiring. You not finna

sit me down for 20, 30 games and take $15 million for a punch? $75,000 for a foul? Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, you got $75,000 for a gesture. You throw a punch, you might get to go sit down two games.

They don't understand, like, these are men. These are grown men. These folk got testosterone. These folk playing with aggression. How do you want these folk to play? If I dunk on you, I'm not going straight back.

I'm looking for your mama. I'm like, who raised this thing? You know that? But it's all for the game. We're going to go to the barbecue and everything. But I got to talk my shit. Listen, you got to do it in a structured manner. I call it control chaos.

I call it control chaos. The better you are to be able to control yourself, but still be chaotic within the parameters of the game and the rules of the game, then you'll be all right. Once you push the envelope and step across that line,

they're going to take your money every time. But do they not understand that even that part of aggression, though, it makes the players better? Because it's like, I want you to be great because if you come out here on your A game and

I ain't playing well, that means you got the best for me today. That means I got to go work on something. But if I'm always good, I don't know how great I really am. But DC, you know how it is, how we are. Even if we have not played anything, you keep getting in my face if you get

the best of me. You can't get mad because you have no You keep getting in my face if you get the best of me. See, but that's like, oh, you say you got to have control. Okay, yeah. You can't get mad because you have no faith. Oh, no. You ain't finna keep getting in my face. You just got to know how to talk smack. You got to be a better smack talker.

That's it. 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.

you gotta go yeah man you gotta have the job brother the job damn boy yeah well I appreciate y'all

boy hey DC let me ask you a question you got into the uh the comedic space who are some of your influences uh uh your style that you that you like you know what i kind of like your style let me see if i can incorporate it's not really just incorporating it's like when you when you're a student and it's just like when you're playing football man y'all got people to make sure that your techniques are on point y'all got people that you got to run through drills you got to go through the courses to make sure that your techniques are on point. Y'all got people that you got to run through drills. You got to go through

the courses to make sure you're fast. So this is like people like Mike Epps, man. He teach me about longevity. You feel me? When you watch and study somebody like that, you're like, nah, that's naturally funny. That's longevity. So one thing you want to do is just go up there and have fun. And look how long you can do it.

Food. Learn that from him. And then you got people like Cat. You know what I'm saying? You like, okay, that's wrong. You feel me? You don't want to switch up. You want to,

if you want to go for what you know, go for what you know. Then you got people like Dave who got a pen. You feel me? He don't let a man go to waste. He don't let a man go to waste.

He going to pen it up. You feel what I'm saying? You got people like, you got some ladies, man. You got ladies like Dominique. Like, don't, don't, don't. Ooh. She'll come on the stage

and rip it. Lavelle Crawford. So it's, I'm just a student of the game, man. You know, I like to see why people are funny. Like, that's when I look at,

when I look at other comics, I be like, I wonder why people like them. And then when you just listen to it, you just be like, that's just them. And you just got to find you. When you realize then when you just listen to it, you just be like, that's just them. And you just got to find you. When you realize that,

you just got to find you. The more you on stage, you'll just find you. The word on the street is that Warner Brothers Greenlit Friday. It's the last Friday in the installment.

Come on, Smokey. And you know... I come from the hood. You just, Smokey. As you know, I come from the hood. You can't be lying to me like that. What if I would have never been working? And I would have just been waiting. But I'm like, hey, but you know they about to put me in the lab

for Friday moving up. What if it don't happen? I got to keep working. But what we can do is create a whole nother chemistry with certain actors and actresses you see what i'm saying so it's like what we looking for the name or you want the actors or actresses i we will hope that it will come back but what if it don't come back y'all well do that mean that we stop creating do that mean we don't make a movie no do that mean me and you can't be in a movie or it had to be friday you let's do it the day after thursday

you feel me but i hope i hope it's in the mix you know i'm saying i hope it's in the work but people don't understand like when you dealing with big entities like that, it's like real estate. If it's six people on this particular IP, can't none get sold or get cleared to all six of them on the same page.

You feel me? Yeah. DC, what you got coming up next? Man, more 85 south you dig what I'm saying more movies more TV shows we in the executive bag man you know what I'm saying I'm starting to incorporate people that I find funny

you know what I'm saying like Jack like Jack funny money bag mafia dig what I'm saying it's a lot of people that's out there you know my boy Blake the great you dig US 2500. We just trying to figure out, like,

how do I incorporate my people and continue to grow and just continue to just, you know what I'm saying, creating a space, man. You know what I'm saying? Because when you're an executive, you got to understand

where you playing at in this game. You got to know what type of player you is in this game. Sometimes you be selling to the wrong people. Right.
