Starting point is 00:02:36 CD Lamb responds to Troy Eggman criticism. After Eggman called the Cowboys receiver lazy and terrible, CD responded to a sit-down interview with former coach Jason Garrett. As a leader, I take it in. We got to work. I use it as a building block. If you say
Starting point is 00:02:52 our routes are lazy, I'm going to go out there every week and show you my routes. Personally, I take that as constructive criticism, as well as you should. If we can control it, let's go work at it and get better at it. I'm a hard worker. So anything you say that I'm not doing,
Starting point is 00:03:08 I'm going to show you that I'm doing it. I like that. I like that. That's a very mature answer. I love it. Very, very, very mature answer. Now, is that what he's really thinking? Probably not. But what he said publicly is the perfect answer to the criticism
Starting point is 00:03:23 that a legend from your organization who has won multiple Super Bowls. Great response. Great response. And the thing is, is that you have to understand Troy, the quarterback. Right. Troy used to get on my case. Michael Irvin. What he's saying is that, like, bro, if I don't consistently know where you are that's why
Starting point is 00:03:47 people looking at us like we crazy you and i've had the conversation as long as cd and playing together they shouldn't have these misfires like they have no no they have they have misfires like guys that ain't never played together right that you know what i think that's due to now also yeah every year training camp yeah missing training every year those repetitions that you need in training camp mini camp otas all that helps all that helps in building that chemistry because it resets itself after every year yeah it ain't oh i'm to go to training. I'm not at training camp. I'm not at OTAs. Or I'm not at mini camp. But then come
Starting point is 00:04:29 in season, you think everything is just going to be like that. But that's your opportunity to work on stuff though, Ocho. It's just like, you don't like, man, you know what? I had my best year. And I don't work anymore. You work hard to have a better year. So you get back to try to build even a better report.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Each year, you want to expand. Hey, we good at this. Let's see if we can get a little better at that. Okay, we got good at this and that. Let's see if we can get good at something else. That's how you build. That's how you get better. And so now everything, back shoulder fade, end out you know uh uh speed out all that stuff
Starting point is 00:05:07 but uh you know it's it's like i said i i don't watch him i used to watch him when i first started at uh at uh at fox yeah i used to watch tape because i wanted to see i'd like but i just i had to stop because in my head I'm too critical Ocho I'm like bro what the hell is this that lazy ass route bro you can't bro you rounded the route off that's why the DP came for it knock it down
Starting point is 00:05:37 and then you put the blink on he knew you was breaking out that's why you jetted it so I'm glad I'm glad CD I hope CD takes And then you put the blank on. He knew you was breaking out. That's why you jetted it. Mm-hmm. So I'm glad CD, I hope CD takes it like, okay, you played the quarterback. You know what's expected of us in Dallas. Criticism comes along with the job.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Yeah. And especially a guy that played like you said, Troy's looking at it from a quarterback. He's looking at it from Dak. Everybody's saying Dak bad, but damn, these guys running these lazy ass rounds. He don't know where they're going to be. Right. Because the round, hey, when my back foot hit. That ball already gone. That quarterback back foot hit, Ocho, with his three or five.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Yeah. And I can't be, I can't be back there jacking the ball off. Worrying about you. There's people coming. People coming. Yes. Knock his head off. So the Cowboys are ready to try something new at weekend
Starting point is 00:06:36 to help juice up the NFL's worst rushing offense. The team plans to elevate four-time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook off the practice squad, setting the stage for his debut. They're 77 yards rushing per game, ranked dead last in the NFL. As that stands, that would be Dallas' worst per game average through first six games since 1989. I think that's a good look. It's a good look for the Cowboys for bringing Dalvin Cook up.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Isn't that when they traded Herschel? Did they trade Herschel? I think they traded Herschel. That was 89. They traded Herschel to Minnesota. Man. Listen, Dalvin Cook's still fast, shifty.
Starting point is 00:07:23 He's really good off tackle. You know, running through the holes. He can make you miss. But Ocho. I think what you think. You think it's going to help? I think it might help. Hell, listen, they're coming out of a bye week.
Starting point is 00:07:38 I think this is a good week for the Cowboys to rejuvenate everything they have going on. They're playing the 49ers. The 49ers are hurt, huh? Everybody hurt. I'm not sure if people are going to play. You know, Iuke is out. Brandon, I don't know. I'm not sure if Brandon Jennings is back.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Juwan Jennings. I mean, Juwan Jennings. I'm talking about Brandon Jennings. Juwan Jennings. I'm like, man. Brandon Jennings played basketball. I know. He definitely out.
Starting point is 00:08:04 He was talking trash about he beat me, so it was still stuck in my head. It was still stuck in my head. But, yeah. If the Cowboys win the game, this is one that they can't win just because of the injuries. Are you going to run the football?
Starting point is 00:08:16 Because Jerry Jones said in his offense, you know, Derrick Henry wouldn't look like that. Because you know why? Because you won't give him the ball. Yeah. And guess what? Dallas Cook ain Henry wouldn't look like that. Because you know why? Because you won't give him the ball. And guess what? Dallas Cook ain't going to look like that either.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Because you're going to want Dak to throw the ball 40 times. You know what? You can throw the ball 40 times, but you're going to have to establish the goddamn run at some point. Because if you don't, all they're going to do is sit in goddamn 2-shell all goddamn day. Yes. And why would I come out of it if you can't run the ball?
Starting point is 00:08:44 And that makes it that much more difficult on day. Yes. And why would I come out of it? You can't run the ball. And that makes it that much more difficult on deck. Yes. So we're about to find out if they can run the ball when they play. Is that a Sunday game or a Monday game? Tomorrow? Is the afternoon game or a night game? Sunday night?
Starting point is 00:09:07 Yeah. That's Sunday night football, Ocho. That's going to be a good one. That's the thing. I mean, but at the end of the day, Ocho, you got to let the guy run the ball. Jerry thinks you're supposed to get like have five carries, 100 yards.
Starting point is 00:09:21 And what? And Madden? Thank you. You can't even do that in Madden to about five carries a hundred yards just man I mean Jerry
Starting point is 00:09:28 Jerry's been around the game long enough to know you don't have the same you ain't Larry Alley not there no no you ain't got the guy
Starting point is 00:09:36 that was blocking for Emmitt no but you definitely ain't getting no Emmitt no five ten carries Emmitt's toting that thing 22 25 30 times yeah
Starting point is 00:09:44 yeah oh y'all went back and listened to what Jerry said no 5-10 carries. Emory's told that thing 22, 25, 30 times. Yeah. I went back and listened to what Jerry said. Jerry said that none of the players or the staff has complained about the tour. Right. Jerry, you threatened the fire guy that you don't even own the radio station. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:01 You done pulled that power move and you think somebody gonna say, hey, Jerry, I think that's a bad idea. You already showed them what you do. Yeah. I wonder why they ain't told you that, Jerry. You done told them, man. You gonna get somebody in there to ask you more favorable
Starting point is 00:10:17 questions. Right. And you think somebody that's directly tied to you gonna tell you you wrong? Uh-uh. Not a chance. I didn't tell my... Man, Jerry know better. And Jerry funny, man. The greatest businessman of all time, boy.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Eric Dickinson set the NFL rushing record 2105 in 1984. That's after he came off his rookie season. He ran for 1808. Over the last past 40 seasons, no one has been able to top that mark, but something could change. Heading into week eight,
Starting point is 00:10:55 Derrick Henry's on pace to break the record. And although plenty of players have gotten off to hot starts, the first half of the season before fading, Lamar thinks Henry might be able to break the record he says Henry has a good chance to top ED's number it's there I feel like he has a great chance
Starting point is 00:11:12 of achieving it I think he can do it I believe he can do it through seven weeks Henry rushed for 873 yards he's on pace to run for 2120 which would be 15 yards more than ED's record so Henry doesn't have a huge margin for error He's on pace to run for 21-20, which would be 15 yards more than E.D.'s record. So Henry doesn't have a huge margin for error going forward.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Yeah. Joe, what you think? The possibility of him doing it is really, really good. It's really, really good. Very good. Oh, there's nothing. The Ravens almost seem like a cheat code when you watch them play against everybody they play. Lamar is running the ball.
Starting point is 00:11:49 He's throwing the ball. De'Aaron Currie is running the ball. He's catching balls out the goddamn backfield. That's not even part of his repertoire. That's a big word for him, but I can't spell it. I mean, they look really, really good, obviously. Like, it's damn near scary. So if I were to say the two best teams in the NFL offensively,
Starting point is 00:12:13 I'm going Detroit and I'm going goddamn Ravens. And the Ravens are getting it done on the ground before they even put the ball in the air. And this is a past happy league now. Well, my question is, at what expense does Jerry Henry break that record? We could have got TD's record. Because there are games in which TD, when he ran for 2008, Ocho,
Starting point is 00:12:34 TD was done at the half. He'd be in a rush for 150 and Mike wouldn't let him play anymore. Or he'd be in a rush for 169 and in the third quarter, he was done for the fourth quarter. So he sat out probably equivalent, if you look at what you go back and look at third quarter he was done for the fourth quarter. So he sat out probably equivalent if you look at what you go back and look at when he didn't play anymore
Starting point is 00:12:50 he probably sat out the equivalent of probably three games because Mike saw the bigger picture. Yeah, I get you that record. We don't win the Super Bowl. What the hell? Because at the end of the day we wanted to be special
Starting point is 00:13:06 you needed to repeat in order for you to be one of these teams that people talk about recurrently you got to do it back to back right so do I think he can do it yeah I do I do because there's going to be a situation where they're going to need him to run the air out of the ball yeah and he's more than capable of doing
Starting point is 00:13:22 that and I think they have a team that takes pride and kind of like when TD, TD need like 170 something yards to get that record, don't you? Man, you ought to saw them linemen. They were blocking, they were blocking it. Man, I'm like, man, hey. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:13:37 throw it, throw it. Man, please. Hey, them linemen wanted it. They like, they're like oh we're gonna get this we're gonna get that record we're gonna get 2000 yeah i think for them it's surprising and knowing that oh absolutely it is but it's the fact absolutely we're the reason why he was able to get that record so it means just as much to them as it does to him winning that record. And he gets an extra game. 17 instead of 16. Right. What was so amazing, OJ went for 2003 and 14.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Damn. In Buffalo. Them boys were toting that rock, boy. Oh, the electric company. That's what they call the offensive line, the electric company. Right. Raleigh McKenzie, Joe DeLamalere. They were moving people.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Moving them out, huh? They were moving them up out of there. Actually, Joe Ferguson, if I'm not mistaken, Joe Ferguson was the quarterback. Joe Ferguson was the quarterback. We played, my rookie year, we played Indy. Joe Ferguson was the quarterback in Indy in 1990. And I think O.J. broke that record in, what, 73?
Starting point is 00:14:44 Right. And he was the quarterback for OJ and he was the quarterback at Indy right that's dope yeah we know what happened but hey that uh he was a hell of a running back everybody wanted to be
Starting point is 00:14:59 32 Jews everybody the NFL find Jets linebacker Quincy Williams $45,020 for unnecessary roughness use of helmet on the hit to Steelers Jalen Warren last week
Starting point is 00:15:15 Quincy tweeted how am I supposed to make this tackle my shoulder ain't that far from his head he lowered his helmet to make contact with me I will not get ran over. Flag football. Two-hand touch. I agree. Because my
Starting point is 00:15:31 instinct, Ocho, when I catch the football and I know I'm coming, I'm going to race. Yeah, I mean, that's football in general. I'm not sure. What the hell? I don't know what they expect players to do, especially as fast as they're moving on that field. They're trying to change
Starting point is 00:15:48 the game and the way players play on instinct and you react in real time. What's going to happen is if you try to change up some of the things you do to protect yourself while making a tackle, somebody's going to get hurt. Yeah, exactly. Because you can't hesitate. I can't hesitate as a tackler.
Starting point is 00:16:04 I can't hesitate as a receiver. Because my instinct, I know that hit coming, I'm going to brace every time. So I'm going to bring my head into the strike zone. Because he's aiming like, okay, I'm going to white the people. I'm not sure who the people are in charge. I'm not sure if the competition committee has anything to do with this. If you watch film, if you know the game of football, if you're a football guy and have been around it for a very long time, you understand the difficulty. And you're finding a player when there's only one, only one way to make that tackle. Yes. There's nothing else.
Starting point is 00:16:40 There is no alternative. There is no alternative. Outside of you just stay high and he run right through you. Exactly. Exactly. But, you know, a lot of times guys get hit for hitting receivers. Somebody, he's defenseless. No, that
Starting point is 00:16:55 got on him and showed a pass. He ain't defenseless. Yeah. What he had to do out here. And when you go to catch a pass and you know contact's coming, brace for it so you drop your head down into the strike zone he might be trying to hit you in your waist but you're gonna brace for that lick you ain't gonna like okay he gonna hit me in my waist no it ain't gonna get sawed in half you want to try to absorb that blow as much as you possibly can it's just physics it's just
Starting point is 00:17:21 it is what it is. And I get it. It's the quarterback phone. You threw that F-ed up pass. Hell, I be wanting to throw it back to him sometime. No, you take it. Let's switch positions. I'm going to go out there. I'm going to throw you one of these.
Starting point is 00:17:38 You catch it. You tell me how you should have called it. I agree with you, Quincy, bro. I don't know how you're supposed to make the tackles hey that's that 45 000 fan but that's a lot bro hey this is the guy running oh this running back yeah so now they're hold on now they protect because the running back can't lower his head right i'm like who runs through the damn hole chest high? Chest high. Well, unless you...
Starting point is 00:18:06 Like you, E.D. Like E.D. ran through the hole. Or Roger Craig. Or Roger Craig. But I'm saying, but for the most part, Ocho, when you see contact coming, you brace for it.
Starting point is 00:18:17 You got to get down. You have to. If you don't, you're going to get hurt. Yeah. I mean, I think a lot of people need to be passing these...
Starting point is 00:18:24 Passing these rules that... yeah, I mean, I think a lot of people need to pass these, uh, um, passing these rules that, uh, ain't play no football. Cause when you play football, there, you know, there are certain things just going to happen.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah. 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.
Starting point is 00:19:08 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 iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In the fall of 1986,
Starting point is 00:19:55 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,
Starting point is 00:20:19 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. Russell had one glaring omission on his list of great coaches he's played for. When talking to Yahoo Sports about getting his mojo back this season,
Starting point is 00:21:04 Russ spoke highly of his time in Pittsburgh and his career in Seattle, but he left off talking positively about Broncos and playing under Peyton Manning. I'm in a good place here. Excuse me, Sean. Oh, that's it, Manning? Broncos and playing under
Starting point is 00:21:20 Peyton. Sean Peyton. I thought he was Peyton. Sean Peyton. I'm in a. It's called the Sean Payton. I'm in a good place here in Pittsburgh. I'm excited and I'm happy where my feet are. Just focus where you are right now. I look at it as a tremendous honor and I don't look at it as a bad thing.
Starting point is 00:21:35 I get to play for Pete Carroll. I get to play for Mike Tomlin. Two all-time greats. What are you supposed to say? The man benched him. The man put all the blame everything that transpired his first year in Denver he placed it at the feet of Russ
Starting point is 00:21:52 what was Russ supposed to say Cardinal rule number one you never chastise a player in front of your team especially your quarterback I agree you don't do it on the sideline in the middle of a game hoping to get a reaction out of him
Starting point is 00:22:04 you know he wasn't going to put Sean Payton on the sideline in the middle of a game hoping to get a reaction out of him. You know he wasn't going to push Sean Payton on the leg. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. I mean, at some point in time, I understand Russell's a God-fearing man, but he's human also. See, sometimes people take the human element out of it. Oh, just be the bigger person.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Well, damn. If I gotta always keep being the bigger person, Ocho, I'm hanging around too many small people. God damn. I can't always be the bigger man. I like that one. So, y'all, oh, let everybody just say
Starting point is 00:22:41 whatever they want. Oh, you know, Shad, it's just words. So, just let everybody just say whatever. want. Oh, you know, Shannon, it's just words. So just let everybody just say whatever. Treat you however. Yeah. Nah, man. I ain't got no problem. I ain't got no problem with Russ. I don't have a problem with Russ didn't say.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Right. He didn't say anything. I don't have a problem with what he didn't say. Right. I mean, I've been fortunate, Ocho. I mean, for the most part, I've had, got along with all my head coaches. I ain't never had a problem with any head coach,
Starting point is 00:23:17 but I wasn't a quarterback. So I have a different level of expectation. I ain't really have no problem with no position coach. Mm-hmm. I'm big on respect, don't you? I'm big on that. Especially when there's an interaction and there has to be an interaction between us, especially on
Starting point is 00:23:38 an ongoing basis. You don't say yes to me and I won't say yes to you. That's kind of hard when you're the position coach or you're the offensive coordinator or you're in a position where we're going to have to coexist. Yeah. That's kind of hard. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:23:55 You know, you build a relationship. They get somebody to one part of you mad. Don't say if to me. Whoa. So how do you expect that to work? Yeah. You're in the kitchen. I'm in the kitchen. Yeah. You're in the bathroom. I'm in to me. Whoa. So how do you expect that to work? Yeah. You in the kitchen, I'm in the kitchen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:07 You in the bathroom, I'm in the bathroom. Right. Right. You in the bedroom, I'm in the bedroom. So how? We're in the basement. So how is that going to work? Don't say nothing to me.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Don't look at me. Yeah. I ain't that listening shit. Hey. Nah, I'm just going to look at you now. On purpose. On purpose. What you looking at? You? I ain't that listening shit nah I'm just gonna look at you now on purpose on purpose what you looking at
Starting point is 00:24:29 you I ain't got no problem with Russ didn't say hey man treat him like stir fry so hell nah ain't got nothing good to say see I ain't say nothing good to say. I ain't got nothing. See, I ain't say nothing bad. But you can deduce by me
Starting point is 00:24:49 not saying anything. You can deduce what I really think. Right. And my mama said, if I ain't got nothing to say good to say about somebody, don't say nothing at all. I ain't had nothing good to say. Okay. Now we're back. Goat James had his first triple-double of the season.
Starting point is 00:25:09 He had a 131-127 comeback win over the Kings. LeBron posted the first triple-double of the season, including 16 points in the fourth quarter. The Lakers improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2010-2011. LeBron finished with 32 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists. Look, I saw him the first night. I watched the game last night, Ocho. They were down by 22 points.
Starting point is 00:25:33 And I'm not trying to throw no shade on nobody. But I'm not so sure they win that game that they were down 22 points last year. That's a game they end up losing. And LeBron James and AD end up playing like 20-something minutes because they done got blown out. Or they gonna get... LeBron, and all the
Starting point is 00:25:52 time LeBron got mad, and LeBron was cooking, and then Rui Hachimura come down there and take a shot. LeBron was like, bro, I done hit 10 on the road. I done got 10 points in a row. Swing that mofo. Swing it. He gotta read the room. I done got 10 points in a row. Swing that mofo. Swing it. Hey, he's a mirror.
Starting point is 00:26:06 He got to read the room. You got to read the room in that situation. Yeah. Ocho, normally they allow guys to take a heat check. I mean, guys get cooking like that. You see a guy come half court. One step past half court. Let it fly.
Starting point is 00:26:19 He had the timeline. He had the logo. He let it go. Ruiz said, no. Let me interrupt your normally scheduled program and LeBron cook it and try to get me one. You always need the ball to the man with the
Starting point is 00:26:31 man with the hot hand. Get the ball to the man with the hot hand. LeBron probably want to get that ball to hit Ruiz upside the head. But he was cooking tonight. Oh, and Anthony Davis. Oh, man. Ant was cooking too. Oh, and Anthony Davis. Oh man. And was cooking.
Starting point is 00:26:46 And was cooking too. Oh, and was, and had 31, nine, three steals, two blocks. Um,
Starting point is 00:26:53 yeah, yo, uh, he, he, but everybody played well. 80 had 31. Roy had,
Starting point is 00:26:59 uh, 18. Braun had a triple double, uh, 32. D low had his best game of the season. He has 16. Austin Reeves coming off of, what, 26-28 point performance last night
Starting point is 00:27:09 had 16. And Westside Connect, Dalton Connect, had 10. The most impressive, though, was the other night. What was that? Last Friday? Last night. Kobe on the Ozarks. That's what I call Austin Reeves. Kobe or the Ozarks. That's what I call Austin Reed. Kobe or the
Starting point is 00:27:26 Ozarks. He was cooking last night. AD been cooking the whole season. AD going, this is the AD that I needed to see. What if he stay healthy, huh? It's going to be nasty. If he can stay healthy,
Starting point is 00:27:42 play 70, 75 games, it's going to be nasty, boy. All we need is about 70. We'll give him 12 games off. Right, right, right. Give him 70. Yeah. Give him 70.
Starting point is 00:27:54 But they played well. They did a great job on the glass. They cleaned over on the glass. They needed to play well because Sabonis. Sabonis always has big games against AD. And he had another one tonight. He had 29 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists. Look, LeBron, the problem that he was having is that AD was getting outscored by Sabonis.
Starting point is 00:28:14 We know he's going to have more assists than AD because he runs a lot of the offense. He'll get in the pick and roll. He'll do the dribble handoff. He's a great passing big man like his daddy. Our beat is some bones. But tonight, AD came to play. He was 10 of 15, 10 of 18. You missed three free throws.
Starting point is 00:28:33 They teed him three points. Bro, get them points. Get them points. We've been 24-24, AD, had you made your free throws. But I take it. You'll give me 31-9. You'll give us 31-9 with three steals, two blocks, and two assists. I take it. You'll give me 31-9. You'll give us 31-9 with three steals, two blocks, and two assists. I take it.
Starting point is 00:28:48 But LeBron was sensational tonight. The Lakers look good. The Lakers look good. Like I said, I'm not trying to throw no at anybody. But I think everybody can attest this might be the best we've seen the Lakers look this early. Probably since 2020, and we know they ended up winning the championship
Starting point is 00:29:03 down in the bubble. but they look good. They definitely look better than that at any point in time in the last three to four years. That's for damn sure. Now, Ocho, it's time for Q and A. Q and A. Let me stretch a little bit. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy said, somebody call the fire department because the new merch is fire. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Appreciate that, Doc. I appreciate that. Hopefully everybody that's received their merch.

You know how, when they, when they walk through the tunnel, they got the camera and it's a fashion show. Yeah. Well, that's what we need to have.

And you got to have, you got to put that shit on and they can't just come out the car, you know, and they got the video in slow motion and it gets the outfit.

Starting point is 00:32:01 They get on the plane and they're comfortable. They're comfortable. When they at the hotel, the day of the game they put that shit on you know for for the for the fashion walk into the stadium so when we fly to the city we're going let's say we're doing let's say we're doing let's say cincinnati for example so when we fly to cinc, we wear our sweats. We wear our nightcap stuff. But when it's time for the show, wherever we go do the show at, then we put that shit on
Starting point is 00:32:30 so the camera can catch us. Where y'all wear sweats at? Who? Y'all. In Cincinnati, y'all can wear sweats? Yeah, you know, you wear team issue. Sweat suit. Not at Denver, you didn't.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Okay. Okay. Let's stay on topic now. Let's stay on topic now. Let's stay on topic. But we don't do that. Yeah. Yeah. Ocho. I got you. Listen, I'll style you. I'll style you. I got you. I'm good, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:32:55 I'm going to be dressed just like I was like in Atlanta, like I was for Houston and Dallas. No, you don't understand. We're going to change. You can wear what you wear on stage. I'm just saying we got to put that shit on to make our entrance to let people know we coming in. We mean business. We mean business. I'm going to say
Starting point is 00:33:12 we mean business when we come to a city near you. There we go. I like that. I like that. Edwin Yancore. What's up? Ogunnocho Merch is crazy. Congrats. Again, appreciate you, bro. Thank you so much. I really, really appreciate that. Todd said,
Starting point is 00:33:27 how impactful is Rob Livingston for CU Buffs? He got the defense playing. Sometimes I think he plays too much man coverage because you notice at some point in time, Ocho, until you cover that back on the swing, they're going to keep running it. Keep running, yeah. You remember they got hit up
Starting point is 00:33:44 for 75, 80 yards against UCL. They swung the back out of the backfield.'re going to keep running it. Keep running, yeah. You remember they got hit up for a 75-80 yard against UCL. They swung the back out of the backfield. They got the pick. Boom. They swung him out of the backfield today. Got a touchdown. They ran the rub on the goal line. Got a touchdown. At some point in time, hey, it's okay to play zone.
Starting point is 00:34:00 To make a thank you to the man and drop. But I think he's doing unbelievable. I think Pat Shermer is doing an unbelievable job. He's coached in the NFL. He runs a pro-style offense. And I think I don't have a problem with this.
Starting point is 00:34:16 And I think time wanted somebody for his sons last year that was in a pro-style that get his son ready to play in the pros. Had him already prepared. And I ain't got no problem with it. So.
Starting point is 00:34:31 But Rob Livingston, the D coordinator, he's been great. William Wright, Sharp, give us your honest opinion about Oshalo. I mean, he's a thumper. Oh, yeah. He misses a lot of tackles because he's constantly going for the big hit. And you're going to get that. When guys go for big hits, especially if you don't have it. Because, see, the thing is, it's easy to go for a big hit
Starting point is 00:34:56 when a guy can't go anywhere, Ocho. It's hard to go for a big hit if he in open field or he sees you. And, you know, look, he got a 15-yard penalty. You know, you just got to be smart in situations like that. You know you're right there on the sideline. You grab the guy's leg.
Starting point is 00:35:16 He gonna pretend like he got shot by a sniper. So, you just got to be smart with situations like that. But, what y'all want him to be, Ed Reed? Y'all want to be Troy Palomaro? I mean, I'm just trying to be.
Starting point is 00:35:32 He's good, though. He's 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.
Starting point is 00:36:01 What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there's 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
Starting point is 00:36:51 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,
Starting point is 00:37:15 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. It'll be interesting to see.
Starting point is 00:37:59 It's funny, when I look at time, I'm like, bro, you ain't get none of your kids your speed. You selfish. You held all the speed. You kept all the speed for yourself, unless DeAndre or Bucky got it. Somebody got it. I don't know who, but somebody got it. We know Shadur and Shiloh ain't got it. I don't know who got it out of DeAndre, Bucky, and the youngest daughter.
Starting point is 00:38:23 But we know them two boys, they ain't got it. They ain't got it they ain't got it Sonny Stanley say Mr. Sharp that be dirty at Cincinnati defense tonight keeps winning hold on Mr. Sharp that be dirty at Cincinnati defense tonight keep it number 85 award this little

Starting point is 00:39:32 And I don't understand every time we win an award, why is everything going to you and not one coming to me? They got my answer. You know what, Ocho? I asked that question. I said,

Starting point is 00:45:38 I'm going to have to do you like Sanford and Son then do what for this Sunday. Do what? I guess they assumed that when you took that one, they were good. No, because they don't even know I took it. Kip Norwood Jr. said, my question is, what's the feeling for Cam Ward at the next level? Does he have NFL
Starting point is 00:46:04 or Ward in his future? I guess he said like an MVP, Officer Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year. What do you think, Coach O? Situation. Situation matters, depending on where he goes. If he goes to the right situation, sky's the limit. If he goes to a situation, to a team where, ugh, there's really nothing to work with, it makes it that much more difficult for him.
Starting point is 00:46:28 And you know how impatient teams are. You know how impatient owners are. You know how impatient the fans are. So where Cam Ward goes is very, very important. That's the most important thing. And then, who's his offensive coordinator? You see
Starting point is 00:46:43 Jayden Daniels? Yeah. You look at Kyler Murray, he had Cliff coordinator? You see Jane Daniels. Yeah. You look at Kyler Murray. He had Cliff Kingsbury. Jane Daniels has Cliff Kingsbury. Yeah. The offensive mind, because it has to be, you have to,
Starting point is 00:46:59 you guys have to link. You have to be in sync in order for it to work. Work, yeah. But yeah, I think he can be good. I think he can be good. But like Ocho said, it's contingent on where he goes and who coaches him. Rashad Williams said, Chad Ocho
Starting point is 00:47:15 Cinco is the GOAT. TC the Trucker said, Hey Uncle Ocho, today is my daughter Charlie Rose's birthday. Could you please give her a shout out?

I'm saying she's probably under the age of five. Right, right, right. But, uh, TC the Trucker, thank you for your support, man.
