Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you for joining us for a very, very special episode of the Olympic Watch Party.
I am your favorite unk, Shannon Sharp. I am your favorite uncle, Shannon Sharp.
He's your favorite number 85, the route runner extraordinaire,
the Cincinnati Bengal legend, the Pro Bowl of the All-Pro,
Liberty City's own, yes, Chad Ochocinco Johnson.
As you can see, they've started the opening ceremony.
Now we're at South Africa.
I just saw the refugees.
They have 37 athletes of more than 100 countries of athletes that's been displaced and they're being allowed to compete because of what's going on in their respective countries.
So I thought that was a very, very great thing by the IOC to allow these displaced athletes an opportunity to compete and live out their dream.
Now you see Albania coming. This is very, very good. There is no walking. They're coming down on
boats. I think that's the
River. If I'm not mistaken, is that
what that is? I think so.
This is unbelievable.
You see Albania here.
I'm not sure how many athletes they
have, but that's a great
experience to be the ring bearer,
the flag bearer,
46 athletes for your respective country.
We figured it.
We know now that LeBron James is the male flag bearer
and Coco Gauff is the female flag bearer,
the woman's flag bearer for the U.S. team.
So this is an unbelievable honor.
Here you see Dennis Schroeder representing Germany,
the male flag bearer.
They have 463 athletes.
I thought that
Anna Marie Wagner is the judo.
She's the woman's flag bearer.
This is pretty cool, Locho.
Yeah, this is very nice. I like
the entrance. I like what they're doing.
Coming down on the boat. Yeah, I like that. That's really dope. Would these the entrance. I like what they're doing. Coming back on the boat.
Yeah, I like that. That's really dope.
Would these be considered, I mean, Chad,
y'all help us out here. Would these be considered
tugboats? I mean,
what are they called? Duckboats? Are these what
these are called?
Duckboat?
What kind of boat? It's not a pontoon.
Somebody got to... This has to be such a pontoon. Somebody got to go ahead.
This has to be such a surreal experience to be able to represent your country for one
and obviously to be the flag bearer for your country, man.
Just being able to be in the spotlight and represent an entire country has to be one
of the greatest feelings in the world.
I mean, a lot of nerves.
I can imagine. Think about playing a Sunday game.
Think about the nerves and the butterflies
you have simply for a football game.
So imagine having to represent your country
and do well and wanting to do well
and the type of pressure that's on you.
Oh. They say they just
call riverboats. Oh, riverboats.
Yeah. Okay.
Okay.
Tuiwa and Barbuda.
They have five athletes.
Probably, if I had to say, I'm saying they're probably track and field athletes.
I don't think Antigua, even though it's surrounded by water.
Yeah, I don't know if they're going to have a whole lot of swimmers and fencers in that category.
You have Saudi Arabia, you see up now, Ocho.
They have 10 athletes.
Yeah. They're normally,
Saudi Arabia, they normally bring
weightlifters,
wrestlers.
They're normally good at that.
Those Middle Eastern
countries, they put a lot of money behind
that. Here's Argentina.
The 2004
gold medal basketball winner, Manu Ginobili's Argentina. The 2004 gold medal basketball
winner. Manu Ginobili's
team.
Luciano Di Greco.
There go them boys.
Yeah.
Armenia.
15
athletes.
Not a very large hey Ocho
I'm sure we're going to see some
countries only have one to two
athletes and that's the flag bearer
he or she is going to be the only one competing
the only one representing
I mean listen that's dope
that's dope and it speaks volumes
to the work that athlete has put in
in their respective craft to be able to represent their country, obviously, in Paris.
Yes. I think your TV might be behind a little bit because I got I got USA on one side and I got a group of Austria as well.
Yes. Well, I'm definitely behind you there because I just I see Aruba. I got no allows up now.
And I just had auba. They just flash
Austria.
Now, Austria,
Winter Olympics, look out
for Austria.
In the Winter Olympics, yeah.
Austria, Norway, yeah.
But, uh...
Oh,
I got Bahamas going across
right now.
The Bahamas, that's the Bah the bahamas that's the bahamas had bahama had bahama had 20 athletes yeah well they have the rain they have the reigning olympic 400 meter champion steven gardner uh little stevie what
he calls himself uh he's the reigning 400 meter champ uh he hadn't had a whole lot of races this year ocho but it's gonna be
seen we've seen two guys the guy from uh great britain he ran 43 74 just a couple of days ago
hall from the usa ran 43 80 um we're gonna anxious to see how does stevie have enough racing in his
legs to uh replicate what michael johnson has been able to do only michael johnson has been
able to repeat as a 400-meter champ in consecutive Olympics.
Oh, yeah.
If he's going to do it, he got some competition this year.
But Ron.
Well, we got somebody coming down the stairs in black.
I'm going to wait until your TV catches up.
Okay.
It's like a performance of some sort.
Oh, she got good footwork, too. Oh's you coming out oh okay she got to be friends you must go ahead girl you better lady gaga is that gaga right is that gaga or am i tripping
uh let's see.
She's still covered up.
Oh, that's the tattoo. Look like Gaga.
That is. That's Gaga.
I'm sorry that I know by that tattoo but
oh i know a little bit too much hey i was gonna ask if y'all used to date but i just
let that one go i let that one go on about i let that one go on back
nah but uh you know you know you look at the costumes and the makeup that some shoes
wear sometimes she can really really sing oh joe yeah oh well she could blow that way yeah
get singing but don't she is a performer have you ever seen her perform yes she puts on a
performance there are certain people that are singers and entertainers, they have this wonderful thing called stage presence.
She has stage presence and commands the eye
every time she's up there.
Don't, don't, you know, sometimes, you know,
you get lost up, oh, she got all that makeup
and she's dancing and that.
The costumes, the accessories.
Don't let, hey, if you take all of that away
and tell her to come out here
and she pulls up a stool and sit up there, she can go.
You'll let you have it with the bet.
We listen now with the best of now.
Absolutely.
This is a great opening ceremony, but I've been very, very fortunate, though, Joe, that I've seen a lot of them. I go back to 1984 when it was in when it was in L.A. The last time it was
in L.A. and you come to
and 96 when Muhammad Ali
lit the cauldron.
Nothing. Barcelona
when the guy, the archer, if I'm not mistaken,
he fired the arrow and it lit
the cauldron. Yeah, that was dope.
2008 Beijing is
the greatest opening ceremony i had ever seen
2008 2008 in beijing why why you say that the the way they the the pageantry those drums what they
they and if i'm not mistaken they said they've been rehearsing this for over a year and it was
how many people that they had to have to get this thing coordinated.
And everybody was beating on rhythm.
Everybody was moving on rhythm.
Chad, it'd be interesting to see what you guys think.
What do you think was the greatest opening ceremony?
For me, it was 2008 Beijing.
Now, I don't go back past 84.
Obviously, you know, in 80, it was boycotted because it was held in Moscow because of the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. 76, it was in Montreal. 72, it was boycotted because it was held in moscow because of the soviet
invasion of afghanistan 76 it was in montreal 72 it was in munich so i don't go i was born in 68
when it was the mexico city so i don't go back that far i go back to 84 so that's about 30 years
for my in my 30 years beijing was the greatest opening ceremony.
And if they look at Ocho Nashi on the piano,
stop playing with them, Gaga. You ain't got to go out like this.
Gaga is a very, very, very extremely talented artist.
They can do a multitude of things.
Hey, Ocho, Gaga said Gaga said hey this to entertain Olympics
too I'm letting y'all know
I'm a decathlete
I can sing
I can dance I can play instruments
hey they picked the right one
they picked the right one to do it now
I'm always depressed I know I mean
I'm always impressed like I said I'm
impressed when I look at a Beyonce
and I see her move the way she moved
for hours with them heels on
and stay on key
never tired
man
it's a few of them man
that are special at what they do
Gaga is one of them
Beyonce is another one
anytime you can do
more than one thing
you can do more than one thing
you sing and dance
you sing, dance and play the piano
play an instrument, play the guitar, drum
whatever the case may be
anytime you can do
because you understand you have
the breathing have to be on point to be
seen. Now what about your breathing go
to another level when you got to dance? Now
it has to be on another level when you're singing
and you're playing an instrument.
So you tip your hat.
Look, greatness comes in many shapes, forms
and sizes and many different things.
Just because athletes, sometimes we just get it confused.
Like, only athletes can be great.
No.
Oh, no.
Doctors can be great.
Lawyers can be great.
Obviously, it's greatness in a different form, but greatness is greatness.
Oh, yeah.
I got Bangladesh right now on my TV.
Bangladesh, yeah.
Oh, this is really dope i wonder how many people i'm gonna i think
there's 205 nations ocho i wonder how many people have gone to all these nations how many people you
think in the world have visited every nation in the country every every nation every nation
because you know there are a lot of people that's gone to like all 50 states right right i've been to 100 countries i wonder how many people have been to like let's just say 100 countries or 150
countries or 200 countries there are people that pride themselves on their hobby being just
traveling and visiting as many places as they can yes now i don't i don't know there's anybody that's
ever been to every single one but i'm sure there are people that have been close.
Normally, people that like to travel and love to travel, they continue to regurgitate and recycle the same places everyone else has been instead of exploring out there to see what else is there.
And I think the thing, Ocho, the problem that I'm saying why nobody has because of some of these have just become countries in the last couple of years because they've gained their independence. So they weren't
even a country at the time.
So now you see
like Sudan, South Sudan,
Belize, if we look at Belize, come across
your screen right now.
A lot of these were under...
If you think about Ochoa and people like Russia,
do you understand how big Russia was
when they had Georgia and they had
Coddick's and they had all these nations under one?
So now all these countries are independent.
You see, like, wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
I just saw a country I don't even know.
And you can probably educate me on this.
Benin.
Well, I mean, you got to help me out here.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
That lets me know I need to go back.
But they gained independence. You see, they're also flying the British flag.
Mm-hmm.
No, they're not Bermuda.
They might have been on the same boat.
Ocho, you might have like,
hold on, there ain't been like seven of y'all.
Y'all can ride the same boat together.
You see?
You see, You see?
Yeah.
That's a lot of boats. I don't know if they got 205 riverboats.
There's one. Bhutan.
That's a new one. That looks
like the boats that they have in Italy that they're on.
But look at the wood grain
finish on that.
Pink. but look at the wood green finish on that pink these are
this is part of the ceremony as well
that's like a Chris the Bhutan yeah I see
Bhutan that look like a Chris
craft
you know a boat oh sure you know that's
a Chris craft you know boat is an acronym you know what's a crisscross you know boat as an acronym you
know what that stands for don't you what bust out another thousand because that's that's about
that's a bottomless pit you own a boat yeah that's what both stand for oh yeah bust out another
thousand because something's always yes oh definitely listen you never you never want to
own a boat from what i hear you always want a friend that is. Listen, you never want to own a boat, from what I hear.
You always want a friend that is the owner.
And you just want to rent.
Bolivia.
Oh.
Okay.
I mean, I forgot you a little behind.
Botswana.
Botswana is up there.
They have 14 athletes.
I thought, clearly, they're not coming out in order.
No,
I thought that was going to be coming out in order,
but clearly that's not the case.
So Joe,
and you're right.
You see,
they got three countries on one boat,
right?
Depending on,
depending on their size.
Yeah.
Yeah,
for sure.
Leslie Tobago. It's Mr. Bargo.
It's going to be interesting.
He might cause Noah Live some problems.
I think he's run 1960-something, 1970-something this year.
Although Noah Live is laid down a blistering time in the trial of sub-1906,
which was an Olympic trials record.
It's going to be very, very interesting.
I'm anxious to see this 100 meters.
Women,
women, women, women,
women's and men. Brazil got
Brazil got a whole boat to themselves.
You know, they have a few, but they normally like the judo stuff oh joe they normally good
with the karate the judo things of that nature
they've had a couple of marathoners who we got who we got here who we got
bruni this is another place i have no idea about. It'll come up on your TV in a minute.
Bruni, they have three
athletes. I'm not sure
what that is.
Chat, do y'all know B-U-R-N-E-I?
That's a new one for me.
Oh, man.
Hey, Bulgaria.
Oh, yeah.
Look at Snoop.
Obviously, you see the headscarf.
That lets you know.
So let me go on to the Middle East over here.
Let me find the Middle East.

I know that's a Middle Eastern country.
I was not good in geography.
You can't find it, huh?
Hell no.

Yeah, I got you, I got you.

everyone seemed to be
Cape Verdean in that area.

Cambodia,

We're going to learn it on the run.
Hey, they better not bring up Papua New Guinea

Oh. Papua New Guinea because I got that one right here. I'm trying to think. What do you think those

China has 400 athletes.
But here's the thing, Ocho.
A lot of the athletes, they're going to be competing tomorrow.
So that's why it's not full.
That's why you don't see.
You're like, man, that ain't 300 people.
Some people got to compete.
And it's like, especially when you had to walk.
So I'm trying to save my legs, Ocho. My legs.

Let them people make their money.
They cut down on who?
Prostitution in France.
Well, how are they going to do that?
I don't know, but they're talking about they're cutting down on it.
Let them people make their money.
Let them jack the prices up.

Yeah, they mark it up.
Mark everything up.
Get your money.
Y'all be doing too much, government.
How about slashing down on, man, listen, I need the French government to find a way to read my bio on Twitter and they get better understanding.
The only thing that changes things, changes the narrative, is the words you use.
What is it?
It's all the same.
Oh.
Because ain't nobody, listen, ain't nobody doing nothing for nothing.
Ain't nothing but life free.
No.
Ain't nothing free but salvation.
And ministering televangelism found a way to charge for that. Hey. Ain't nothing free but salvation. And ministering and televangelism found a way to
charge for that.
They preach prosperity.
Well, you gotta give. The Lord will bless you

So I guess he don't
bless broke people, huh?
Because you got me giving you

The U.S. is third.
Are we third?
Yeah. I would think we would

tourists. We got romantic.
Huh? Well, we got romantic.
They got the Eiffel Tower.
You know, if you go to Italy, you got
Milan, you got Florence,
you got Rome, you got
Tuscany, you got the Malfi Coast.
Yeah, I can see Italy being first.
But when I think about Paris, they have the love bridge where you lock the gate.
But I think that's gone now because it got too heavy, if I'm not mistaken.
I could be wrong.
Man, I need one of them trunks, Ocho.
You see them pushing them trunks, them little LV trunks?
Yeah, that's a little too expensive, huh?
Nah, we need somebody right there
to go in, you know,

and have it wrapped in Louis Vuitton.
Say, I would just be ready.
Ocho, France is one.
Spain is two.
U.S. is three.
Italy is four.
Italy is four.
Spain?
Mm-hmm. Now, listen, I done three, Italy is four. Spain? Spain? Now listen, I've been
to Spain multiple times.
Multiple times to go watch El Clasico, watch
Barcelona, watch Real Madrid.
At what point is Spain and

Somebody talking about Compton is

call them trunks? What we used to call them? Foot lockers.
Foot lockers. What you know about that?
Foot lockers.
I know about that. In the military,
that's where you put your stuff at. You put up on the foot lockers,
you put your shoes, you put your stuff, and you slide
it under your bunk.
Mm-hmm.
Wait, you sure that's Louis Vuitton?
Yeah, I'm sure that was Louis Vuitton.
They were rolling down that street. No,
but that wasn't Louis Vuitton that my brother took
to college and died.
I'm looking at him
carrying something, a big chunk down.
That was Western Auto.
I'm Michael Kasson, founder and CEO
of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company,
the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything
but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche
into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
It's this idea that there are so many stories out there.
And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.
And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the
most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts.
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.
Did y'all have Western Atos when you were growing up?
Nah, I don't know. I don't know what that is.
Yeah. Anybody know about Western Auto?
Look at that big old
Oh, Ocho, we gotta get one of those
Ocho, we need to get one, Ocho
The one that's going down the stairs?
Yeah, man
What are we gonna put in it?
Hey, Ocho, I just put that
See, you put that in the front.
As soon as somebody walk in, they see that.
They say, oh, yeah, he got paper.
Oh, yeah, he got paper.
It's just for show.
It's just for show, Ocho.
I get you, but I want people to think I don't got no money.
Or at least I want them to think I don't spend it.
Who you fooling?
I want people to think I don't spend it.
This man played 11, 12 years in the NFL. He ain't got no money.
I mean,
they ain't seen you in the paper talking about
where are they now. So they know you got
money.
Chat, chat. How y'all enjoying
the ceremony so far? Scale of
one to 10. What you give it? What you give it so far?
One to 10. Oh, Joe, they say the most expensive truck that you've seen so far? Scale of one to ten. What you give it? What you give it so far? One to ten.
They say the most expensive trunk that you've seen so far
was $185,000.
That's alright. They got one thing right.
$85,000. That's about it.
That's the one part they got right.
How you gonna pay $185,000
to put shoes, to put underwear?
Come on, man.
Listen.
Well, you definitely got your own jet
if you buy one of those Ocho
you fly private
and I'm not talking about the regular
you got a bombardier
you got a business Boeing jet
you got a Gulfstream
600 or 800
you got something like that
to put that
up on the internet.
That's a different kind of money.
The funny thing about it, if you think about
in the 70s and 80s when they used to travel,
you know they used to travel with trunks.
Yes.
You don't see that no more. The wealthy or the
rich used to travel with trunks.
Yeah, because they see the way
the baggage handlers be throwing that ish.
They treat
Louis Vuitton just like Samsonite,
just like Toomey, just like
American Tourister or anything else.
You don't get no special treatment.
Whatever you got is getting tossed.
Hey, Ocho,
but you know what I put in my trunk
if I had one more LV?
What? You know what I put in there trunk if I had one more LB? What?
You know what I put in there?
A couple more diamonds.
Mm-hmm.
Can you not bet I can put up with that thing, Ocho?
Why did they fill that thing up for me, Ocho?
That'll last me a lifetime.
Yeah, that's the problem.
We don't want it to last you a lifetime
because at some point it's going to affect you in the long run.
That's all right.
I ain't here for a long time.
I'm here for a good time.
That's what you tell me.
Man,
I had a trunk full of those diamonds
on y'all. I'm going to meet
some lady. I said, baby, how you like
your eggs? Scramble the first line
because I can do both.
Now we're talking. I got to use
that. Hold on. I got to write that down.
How's it going right now?
Hey, I'm here.
I'm here.
Hey, Ray.
How do you like your egg?
You like them scrambled or fertilized?
Because I can do both.
Listen, we're beefing right now.
So, as soon as we stop beefing, I'm going to use that one.
How do you like your eggs?
How do you like your eggs?
Scrambled or fertilized?
Because I can do both.
Yes, sir. Boy, she gonna get
it worked. Boy, I'm gonna put her goddamn head through the head,
boy, when I get her head got in the celibacy.
Oh, he finna light the cauldron?
Oh, this looks...
I'm not sure what's going on, but this is
to me, it's reminiscent of Gangs of New York. I'm sure that it has nothing to do with
what I'm watching right now. I'm just saying what it reminds me of.
This reminds me of burlesque.
If anyone has seen the movie Chicago, anyone seen the movie Moulin Rouge?
Yeah.
Mamma Mia.
Yeah.
What you know about Mamma Mia now?
Just from what I've been seeing on commercials.
Okay, now we switched up.
We got a rock and roll band.
So I'm assuming all these performances are going on.
Do you think they didn't have that many
boats and the boats go around
and then pick up the next group of countries?
Man, you know they have, like we said,
we saw like, the most we've
seen is that the boat had three countries
on it.
But to have two, I yeah obviously so but i think and oh joe when you do like the opening ceremony you like
it's an homage to your country right kind of like what you're known for the history of it. So you play to that.
Okay.
You see a lot of the costumes.
You see a lot of the makeup. Now, I don't know where the guitar at the window. I don't know where that is, but
okay.
You got the castles.
Listen, I know you don't know much
about, but the individual with the torch
that's been hopping, for some
reason, it reminds me of, it's a video game called
Assassin's Creed. You probably won't know about it.
No. But it's very reminiscent
of Assassin's Creed
in live form.
That's what it reminds me of. And I'm curious
as he continues to hop
from structure to structure,
where is he going?
I don't know. I guess he got to make his way
all the way across. It's starting to rain now Ocho
oh it is?
yeah
I don't care
they can't dampen me
if I'm an Olympic athlete they can't dampen my spirit
I don't give a damn about no rain it can snow
for all I care
I'm in the Olympics I'm living out of life
think about it Ocho you had the Super Bowl
what was that in Miami?
It started to rain.
Chicago and Indy.
It did rain.
That was 2006?
What was that?
I forgot what year that was.
It might have been 08.
It might have been 08, huh?
06?
Wasn't it 06?
No, I don't even think I was still playing. 06. huh? Oh, it was six? Yeah. Wasn't it six? Nah,
I don't even think I was, I wasn't still playing.
Oh, six.
It was?
Because that was Peyton and then Eli
was... Well, Devin has to
run the ball back. Yeah.
Okay, okay, okay. I'm tripping.
Because my first year was in Houston.
The Super Bowl was in
Houston when I was at Fox. And then I think,
excuse me, CBS.
And then the next year,
what year was that, Ash?
Because that's when Prince started
Purple Rain and it started to rain.
Ah, that was a classic.
Classic.
Classic.
For me, that's the great 07.
They say 07.
07. Man, speaking of Purple Rain, that's the great 07. They say 07. 07.
Man, speaking of Purple Rain, you just jog my memory.
The last three days, I've been listening to HBCU bands.
I have this mood where I get into just listening to the HBCU bands.
And goddamn, listen, you know I'm fam, you ride or die, seven to the highest of the seven
hills, rattlet to death.
Right.
But Southern, Southern, Alcorn, Jackson State,
Southern, Alcorn, Jackson State.
Yeah.
They have this thing called the fifth quarter.
Obviously, you battle back and forth with the team's band.
Listen, Southern, let me tell you something, man.
I don't know who man I don't know who
I don't know who
the band director is at Southern
but man listen I salute you
whoever the band director is
at Jackson State and Alcorn
man I salute you
cause them fifth quarters I've been locked in
and you said Purple Rain
I heard Southern play Purple Rain
this might have been 2014
they were battling Alcorn I sit there and watch these then and you said purple rain i heard southern play purple rain this might have been 2014 they
were battling alcorn you know after the game yeah i sit there and watch these about these battle of
the bands man for like five six hours real she mad can you turn that shit off please
and i heard him sing man play purple rain i mean you know you know like when the team has the ball
you're not supposed to play.
But HBCU, we don't care.
We don't care who got the ball.
We playing, they playing.
Hey, people keep that thing crumb.
They going to let it go.
They going to let it go.
Yeah.
I think everybody that hasn't been or doesn't know a whole lot about HBCU,
I think you ought to spend one semester.
I think everybody just for – and like if you go to a PWI, you can go to
an HBCU and still get
credit if you went to the PWI
because you need to experience
that ambiance. It needs to be
homecoming. You need to go to the student center.
You need to be on the yard when
it's coming up and everybody starts to come back
and they stepping and the
in the yard doing their thing.
You need to feel that. Ain't nothing
like it. Ain't nothing like it.
I wouldn't... Go ahead, Ocho.
You see how me watching
my daughter cross over as AK
had me coming back in tears.
Yeah. Because the experience,
I've never felt that kind of energy
from an HBCU.
So being in that environment,
watching everybody,
it's like one big family.
The energy and the aura at Prairie View A&M
during that, what is it called?
I know it's cross-node, but there's a word for it.
Spring Rush.
It's Rush.
Okay, yes.
Listen, I don't know much about
the Greeks and what they have going on,
but I have much respect for it.
I don't try to do the moves or any,
you know,
I don't,
I don't mimic it,
but man,
that atmosphere at Prairie A&M,
when my baby crosses the AK,
I've never experienced nothing like that ever.
It's a,
it's a,
it's a,
you gotta,
I mean,
you gotta,
you gotta be a part of it too,
to understand it,
the pageantry,
uh,
the history that,
I mean,
when God,
when everybody comes back and excited,
it's buzzing the electricity
you can feel it
man
different
I think what they call
the sonic boom
who is that
is that southern
the sonic boom
I think southern
band is called
the sonic boom
which one is
the human jukebox
one is the human jukebox

a little closer.
She might be
French, Ocho.

Especially when it comes to, you know, the chat.
Or let them tell it.
They think they know everybody.
And everything.
I have no idea who this is, Ocho.
So I ain't finna.
They say she was born in, in what?
Africa and her parents are.
Oh, someone said her name is...
Aya Nakamura.

And whoever did her makeup did it perfect
because most of the time, you know,
women have a problem with, you know,
when you do your makeup,
sometimes they don't blend it all the way through. But hers is blended all the way through Most of the time, you know, women have a problem when you do your makeup.
Sometimes they don't blend it all the way through, but hers is
blended all the way through, so everything
looked really good, especially with the gold.
Yeah. They didn't do too much with
accessories, so she on point. Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
I mean, if she'd put a necklace on,
I wouldn't have been mad about it, but hey,

I'm Michael Kasson, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche
into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out
there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content. The term that we always hear
from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing,
technology, entertainment, and sports collide and hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space
and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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.
