Yes, sriracha.
Ocho. Wow. Sriracha. Sriracha. yeah yeah yes sir racha ocho wow that's a nice shot lonzo ball recently admitted that the big baller brand sneakers he wore his rookie season could have contributed to the left knee issues that sidelined him
for 1009 days ball told espn that the first version of the big baller brand sneakers were
comparable to kickball shoes lonzo suffered his first meniscus injury in january of 2018
and he could not help but wonder if triple b's played a part i think it's a possibility for sure
to be honest with you i wasn't really getting hurt like that until I started wearing them.
Nah. Uh-uh. I'm not buying that. I'm not buying that the structure and the design of a shoe
is the reason why you have injuries. When it comes to all shoes, they're all designed and
structured in the same way to be able to do the same thing, especially when it comes to all shoes they're all designed and structured in the same way to be able to do the same thing especially when it comes to playing the game of basketball i'm not putting that on
those shoes absolutely not well some people well some people oh joe you have you have you got some
people that are flat-footed you got some people that have high arches you have some people that
have narrow foot feet they have some people that have wide feet and just because everybody everybody
is not going to get
the same benefit out of wearing a nike as they would because maybe nike fits differently maybe
adidas fit differently puma sketches whatever the case may be this is your brand though your brand
so obviously the shoe that you wear specialized for you is going to put it's going to be be um
what's the word i'm looking for it's going to be fit for your word I'm looking for? It's going to be fit
for your foot. Ocho,
do you think they had the kind of money to do R&D?
Research and development?
To structure a shoe straight?
Oh, have mercy, Ocho.
Do you know how much
these companies
put into R&D?
Do you have any idea? Yeah, because
I used to have a shoe.
Do you understand? So you think a shoe a guy said you know what i got a son going to the nba i think i'm gonna come out with a shoe so how much money 50 million 100 million 500 million how much money
you think they put invested into that shoe i mean oh that's you know that's a good question i'm not
sure no no no. Speculate.
Give me an example.
R&D, research and development.
We're going to design a shoe.
We're going to cast a mold.
We're going to fit it.
You do realize how long it takes because the Air Max, you think the Air Max just, okay, you know what?
I like the Air Max.
Let's do the Air Max. Which one?
95?
95?
95.
You take the Air Max 1s. You can take the 95 max ones you can take the 95 you can take the 97
you take any shoe that you want right it takes time for a shoe to come from a vision to being
able to put on somebody's feet and somebody wear it right yeah i understand what you mean but just
they're just the thought even even if there was no, what do you call it, R&D?
Yeah, research and development.
Yeah, we need to put out the research and development to say, oh, well, the reason for my knee injury
is because of the shoe I was wearing.
Like, come on.
He said it could be a possibility, Ocho.
And it could.
No, man, hell no, man.
No, no, let's not blame the shoe.
No.
What you going to blame it on, Ocho?
I mean, there are a lot of gonna blame it on, Ocho?
I mean, there are a lot of people that change shoes, Ocho.
There are a lot of people that change shoes.
Your body, genetics,
you know. But he had never been injured before.
He telling me the goddamn shoes I'm wearing is the reason you missed a thousand-something games.
Hell no. Ocho,
you do realize, like, the feet,
everything leads up,
so knees
I mean your ankles, your hips
your knees, everything is
impacted
and maybe the shoe, the way the shoe was
constructed
man listen Lonzo, that's my dog man
but nah, we ain't
doing that, man I hoop in motherfucking
chucks man, so I ain't
nah, hell nah yeah, you did once I ain't, no, hell no.
Yeah, you did once upon a time.
How many people you see playing in Chucks now?
Hey, can I tell you something?
Yeah.
Just real quick.
I'm not even joking.
I know y'all think I play a lot.
There's footage.
I think I scored maybe 17 points.
There was a celebrity basketball game in philly with
with gilly uh jerron ennis boots jerron boots ennis uh it was it was fun it was very competitive
and i played in chucks full speed high tops you know and i'm just and i was able to move and
maneuver and then in my lateral movement and i'm taking people off the dribble and you know jumping
and shoot it you know i like so i'm like I'm like Chuck Taylor is a great shoe for lifting weights because of the flat sole.
But maybe and maybe that's why we saw a lot of guys that have foot problems when they wore Chuck Taylor's.
That ever thought that ever crossed your mind?
Yes. You know, it's hard for me.
You know why it's hard for me to even understand
or really can't even
fathom the shoes being the reason?
Because my black ass ain't never been hurt.
So it's hard for me to kind of have
any type of sympathy or really
empathize with the fact that he's saying
the fact that maybe the structure of the
shoe is the reason why
I had...
Noted. Possible.
Okay, it's a possibility. I had, you know, noted. Possible. Okay.
Okay, it's a possibility.
I know the percentage,
the percentage of that possibility
is extremely goddamn low.
Well, he didn't say it did.
He said it may have contributed.
So we'll leave it at that.

that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning
so-called niche into mainstream gold,

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,

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.

On time, Mocho.
He might not come when you want him, but he's always on time.
Well, McDonald's is bringing back the snack wrap, baby.
That's what I'm talking about.
But the funny thing about it is, and the timing is great,
is the fact that the snack wraps are coming back
in 2025, and I can't even have
McDonald's until the new year.
Right. So you be perfect. That's right on time.

that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain. This is the struggle. This is the thing that's
in front of me. You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible
and step boldly into the best version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength
that's inside of us all. So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being,
and climb your personal mountain. Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you.

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'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.

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,

that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,
but which few of us still remember today.

Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy said,
Super Bowl nightcap is upon us.
And I can't wait.
Since you're allergic to shellfish,
what is the one dish you always look forward to
when visiting New Orleans, Ocho?
What's your go-to dish when you're in the Big Easy?
Definitely gumbo.
What's the name of that place that we went to?
Remember we went down to New Orleans and we went to that place?
Twisted
Waffle. That's where we went.
Man, they got so many different kinds of waffles.
Right.
You know what? It's been so
long since I've been to New Orleans.
I can't remember the name
of the spot, but I know when I do
get there, I got to get my beignets.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, so you want to go to Cafe Du Monde?
Yeah, Cafe Du Monde.
That's one of them. I got to get my beignets.
I don't want
all that powder sugar on top, though.
Yeah, just light. I tell them light sugar.
Yeah, man.
But you got to eat them when they're hot, though, Ocho.
Yeah, you got to. You got to. I mean, anything else
is unsimilized, huh?
And I tell you what, I ain't a big you look a lot of people like that king cake it's too sweet for me yeah yeah yeah you know can i tell you something real quick a quick story
yeah go ahead why and why i'm excited about going to new orleans and i want i might get there even
earlier than i'm supposed to i don don't know. I don't know
how long we'll, Unc, you will know. Maybe some people in the chat, chat, I don't know if you
guys remember the homeless man that I had, like, Unc, I swear for God, it might've been, we had
maybe a three-year run. His name is Porkchop. And I mean, Ash, Ash, if you could hear me, look up,
look up me and Porkchop. When I tell you me and this homeless
dude, he came and he came and bothered me at Davis Cafe one day on South Beach and asked me to buy
him a beer. I went and bought him a case of beer, but I made him sit and eat with me. And we sat
there and we ate and we talked and I asked him about his story and how did you become homeless
and what you're doing out here in Miami. And he was from New Orleans. When I swear for God,
I tell you no lie,
me and Porkchop,
and some people in the chat
might know this story,
me and Porkchop hung out
every single day
for a damn minute,
two years straight.
I got him cleaned up,
bought him clothes,
had him stand at the big,
I had him stand at the big house,
you know, back in the day.
And I tried to do everything I can
to help him and save him, but he didn't have the resources, you know? Right. And so I know, back in the day. And I tried to do everything I can to help him and save him,
but he didn't have the resources, you know?
Right.
And so I know he was getting a check somehow.
I don't know how he was getting a damn check,
but he got on the goddamn bus and left New Orleans, man.
And that shit hurt me so bad, man.
So I'm hoping when I'm in New Orleans...
You run into him.
Yeah, I got to find him.
People on Twitter that live in New Orleans
always see him on Canal Street.
He's still homeless. He's
not doing as well as he was once I
got a hold of him. So I'm really looking forward, man,
to finding Porkchop and
maybe hoping to
clean him up again and maybe
have him come to the live show or something, man.
I miss him. Ash, if you look it up,
Ash, you'll see the story.
Yeah, she found it.
Yeah, she found the story.
Hey, when I tell you, every day for two years straight,
like, you know, I don't have no entourage.
I don't hang with nobody.
So it was easy for me to become, you know,
become friends with him and go places.
We go eat everywhere.
We went to King of Diamonds.
I took him to King of Diamonds.
I had him fresh. It's a picture of him online and he's dancing on a stripper right and it's another
picture where he's not used to seeing that much money so instead of throwing the money at the
women what you think he's doing with the money he grabbed and put in his pocket
oh he's stashing all the money in his pocket, man.
I'm like, child, you just got to throw it to the women.
I'll take care of you after this.
Yeah, just have some fun.
You're like, ah, man, fuck that.
This shit going.
God damn poor child, man.
Nikki said, Shannon, can you please tell all these young'uns
why Sterling Sharp deserves to be in the Hall of Fame?
I think the thing is, for the most part, Ocho, is a lot of people didn't see my brother play.
But in that, he was a triple crown winner.
He's one of six guys to lead the league in catches, touchdowns and reception.
I mean, yards. He led the league in catches three times.
He led the league in touchdowns, no, he led the league in catches three times,
led the league in touchdowns twice, led the league in yards once.
And you see those numbers in seven seasons.
That's what he did.
So he led the league in catches three times in seven seasons,
led the league in touchdowns.
You can see right there, three-time first-team All-Pro,
five-time Pro Bowler, 65 touchdowns. That's right there three time first team all pro five time pro bowl to 65 touchdowns that's
seven seasons
seven now
go back and look at
he retired at 29
go back and look at Antonio Freeman's
look at Robert Brooks numbers
those next three to four years
that they played with Brett and
and I think Antonio Freeman, he went to the,
we played against him in Super Bowl here in Brooks.
And this is not a slight on them.
They weren't Sterling Sharp.
The year that he played, the only receiver that you could say,
okay, he was better than my brother was Jerry.
And he was right there.
Go look at the numbers.
Jerry's numbers for seven years that my brother played from 80,
from 88 to 94.
And compare anybody else's numbers,
all the receivers,
that's whatever that's in the hall of fame.
Look at their numbers from 88 to 94.
Look at my brothers and look at Jerry's.
No. From 88 to 94. Look at my brothers and look at Jerry Snow.
So, we hoping he made it to the finals this year.
That would be probably...
I've had some great moments in my professional career,
my personal career.
I don't know, man.
This would be it for me, man. This is, this will be it for me, man.
This will be,
this will be,
yeah, man.
This will be,
I ain't really got to,
if I don't even see,
if I don't see 57,
to see my brother go into the Hall of Fame.
Yeah, that'd be live, boy.
That's it for me. I would have lived a full
life. Yeah, everything coming full
circle. Yeah, everything
coming full circle.
He led the league in receptions
89, 92, 93.
He's the first to go back to back with over
100 catches.
Two-time touchdown.
In his last six games that he played in his career
he caught 13 touchdowns um led the league in uh touchdowns twice 92 94
led the league in catches i mean uh in yardage i think in 92. But, you know, sometimes that happens.
But I got an opportunity to play 14 years,
and he got an opportunity.
He had the best seat in the house.
So we won three Super Bowls.
We went to the Pro Football Hall of Fame,
and he got an opportunity to see that.
So he's been by my side every major
event that I've had happen in my
life. My brother's been a part
of it. And so to be, to get
an opportunity to potentially be there,
to see him get that call,
and to see him go into the
Pro Football Hall of Fame,
man,
it wouldn't get any
better than that. that's for damn sure
that's life
life's lesson says what's up guys what do you think
prime would have more difficult time
guarding on first and goal
at the eight yard line or all three of you
guys are in your prime
oh he's gonna put
the clamps on Ocho cause Ocho ain't physical
enough
he already told you, Ocho.
What are you going to do to you?
I don't need to be physical.
That wasn't even part of my game
is the fact that I was so goddamn cacked quick.
There's nothing he would be able to do
because he ain't even quick as me.
He just fast.
There's a difference.
You need to understand skill set.
That's all right.
Prime got something for you
yeah I hope so
yeah Prime can't do nothing with me
except catch a catfish man
that's it
yeah I need to go down there and beat him in his own pond
you don't like that
I don't got the patience for fishing man
I do
I ain't got the patience for fishing either
I got the patience to beat him that's what't got the patience to fish it either. I got the patience to beat him.
That's what I got the patience to do.
Beat him.
Patterson Yazzie said,
Chad, should I shoot
my shot? I'm nervous. I haven't asked anyone
out on a date in forever any advice.
I think this girl is sending me signals

Michael said, me and my girl
of 10 years broke up tonight.
Damn, bro.
10. Bro, I've been there
10 years of a long time.
Yeah. A decade.
Yeah.
Fuck, man.
Hey, I'm honestly, I'm sick of these breakups, man. Hey, I'm
honestly, I'm sick of these breakups, man.
It happened, though, Chosha.
Man, I mean.
It don't have to happen.
We need to find a solution on how to fix
this stuff.
Well, that's why people that's
been married for an extremely long time,
they choose to stay married.
Because it's just as easy to stay married as it is to break up.
Wait a minute. Hold on. Hold on.
People choose to...
People choose to stay married.
You got to...
Because you work through whatever problem that may arise, Ostro, you work through it.
Or you attempt to work through it.
You don't say f it at the first
sign of trouble like the first time where there's a disagreement now people just say
hey man i'll start all over there's somebody better than me i ain't finna do this
well let me write that down and write that down but i'm gonna tell i'm gonna take this
to my therapist yeah i like i like I like that. I like that.
I like that.
Matter of fact, hold on.
I got something
I want to tell you too.
Now that you're on that topic,
I had something
I had to tell you.
It was real good too.
Hey, young dude, 10 years. Hey
Young dude
10 years
And now y'all no longer together, right?
Mm-hmm
Always remember
The game ends
When the king fails
Not when a pawn takes your queen or when the queen leaves.
A man doesn't lose value because a woman has betrayed him.
She only removed herself from the game.
The king always moved with strategy, not emotion.
Now you take with that what you will.
It's a little poem I wrote back in back in 92.
And it still resonates today.
I think Ocho is just here's the thing with relationships.
It's always tough.
The breakup is always tough.
Yeah.
If you're not the one that wants to get broken up with.
See, if you want to do the breaking up, it's easy.
Hey, I'm done.
This ain't working for me.
But when you want to be that.
Right.
But at the end of the day, if they're not trying to hear that, I'm not going to beg you.
Yeah.
Be with me.
Right, right, right, right.
Now, listen, I ain't going to run after you.
I might jog a little bit. yeah yeah yeah i might i might i might speed walk you know but hey it's it's it's
we talked about it last night but with with jr you know you know that there are times and that
that pain and being in that fetal position
and understanding that hurt that comes yeah for sure something that was a intricate part of your
daily routine and and and having that having that gone it's it's it's it's it can be rough
it can be rough regardless how tough and i don't care how much pride and how much ego you got, you know,
Hey,
well, I don't wish that.
I don't wish that pain on nobody,
man.
Oh,
Joe,
if it doesn't hurt,
you didn't care enough.
I'm not telling what somebody told me.
I'm telling you what I know because I invest a lot in whatever I do.
So that's why when I lost,
it hurt me. That's why I had
to go home. I couldn't be around people
because I know what I put into that
game. Not just the game that
week, but I know what I did that
offseason. When you're in
a relationship and you know what you put
into it to make this work
and all of a sudden it doesn't
and that person doesn't want to be with you,
that is hurt.
Hey, you know what?
The most important part you just said
is the fact that you invest in something
and you don't get the return on said investment,
you can't get that back,
and then that individual doesn't want to be with you anymore and then you start you know then you start questioning yourself so i'm looking in the mirror
well shit what the fuck wrong with me look at me look at this who don't like this chocolate
and and what hurts sometimes oh joe oh talk to me now. Is that as this thing is starting to
fray, they
give you the worst of themselves, but immediately
give somebody else the best of themselves.
Ocho, I ain't doing it.
Ocho, stop. Ocho, I'm done.
I'm done, Ocho. I'm done.
Hey, I'm done with this. I'm done. Let's just
move on. Ocho, let's just move on.
Let's just move on, Ocho.
Let's move on. Boy,'s move on boy you talking tonight
you talking tonight
so when things are ending
they give you the worst of themselves
and give
the new person the benefit of the doubt
and they get the best version of them
oh
boy if you had an all-in,
I'd give you $100 right now, boy.
If you had an all-in right now,
you could have my whole savings account, boy.
Bro, hey, look.
Well, you appreciate it.
Ocho, I know I joke a lot,
but I've spent a lot of time by myself and analyzing. I'm very self-analytical. I look at it and, and, and, but I've had, I spent a lot of time by myself and analyzing.
I'm very self analytical.
I look at it and I analyze things and I see things for what they truly are.
But come on,
come on,
Creflo shark.
They call me Creflo.
No dollars,
but,
but,
but that,
that,
I think that's what really hurts.
Yeah.
And that's why,
like a lot of times,
like when you leave a relationship,
you really have to,
you really have to like,
let it go.
You have to like,
I don't,
you know,
I,
I can't follow because I,
I,
I,
I've been that old joke.
I know because I've broken up with people and gave them the worst
of me and immediately gave somebody else
the best. I've done it because
I'm not telling you what somebody's told you,
told me. I'm telling you what I know.
And I'm telling you how human nature is.
And so that's
and I remember and I'm thinking
to myself,
the way you are now, Shannon, why couldn't you be like that then?
Take your time.
It's tough, boy.
It's tough.
It's tough, man.
I remember it like yesterday.
Come on.
Take your time. I mean, look, and this is really the first
time.
I remember my homeboy. He called.
He said, homeboy, how you doing? I said, man, I ain't good.
He said, homeboy.
He said, I know
you will never
you would never ask me to
but if you need me to I'll call on your
behalf
when somebody when somebody that's
close to you and they say
I'm willing to extend
myself I'm willing to extend my
name
on behalf of you
and then
my sister I remember talking
to my sister and she would always
send me things every
morning every morning when I wake up because obviously
she's on the east coast I'm in LA so by
the time I get up at you know I was getting up because
I had to be to work at 4, Ocho.
So I'm getting up at 3, 15
because I got to take the dogs out,
let them do what they need to do.
I need to take a shower and I need to get to work.
So she would always send me these things.
And I remember getting home
and I was about to go to bed.
I was about to take a nap after the show.
And I remember she called me
and she said, how you doing?
I said, I'm all right. I said, I'm all right, but she said how you doing I said I'm alright
I said I'm alright
but
she said Shannon
it was quiet
she said
she said how long you been Shannon
I said all my life she said how long you been Shannon I said all my life
she said you been
big you been strong
you been resilient you been
loving you been caring
cause this woman
exited your life
you still gonna be Shannon
don't let this situation change you
you're still gonna be my baby brother
and I'm still gonna love you
and it was
obviously my homeboys Bucket and Burns
they called and they checked on me
but it was my brother and sister because
they're like my mother and father even though we
brothers and sisters is the
relationship that we have.
I remember, and this
when it really dawned on me, Ocho, that I was really
in a dark place. Yes, sir. And my brother
has never said this before, and he's never said
this to me since. Take your time.
He said, if you need me, I'll come out there.
I'm a...
At the time, how old am I? I'm a at the time how old am I
2006
so I'm
48
yeah
48, 49
about to be 40, I was 49
he said if you need me I'll come out there
that's when it really dawned on me i was like damn he really worried yeah my brother really
he had never shown me now i know later after talking to him he's been other situations that
he's been worried about me but he never but he never let me know that he was worried
that was the first time in 49 years that i could see i could tell that he was worried. That was the first time in 49 years
that I could see, I could
tell that he was worried.
Man, I remember as I was thinking, I was like, man,
what the heck?
Oh, you snapped up at her?
Called my sister.
I said, hey, I'm good. Told my brother, I say hey I'm good
told my brother
I said I'm good
how long it took though
how long it took Mark
it took me a while Ocho
this happened
uh
we were talking about
November, December, January, February, March
it took me about 6-7 months though
god damn
it did Ocho.
It did.
It did.
But.
Hey.
Sunshine follows rain, Ocho.
I'm better for it.
As I look back, there are some things that
I could, I wouldn't have
had I not had I not, did that relationship not dissolve?
I'm not here because I turned away a lot of things.
Right.
Because I didn't want to be away from home because I didn't want to be away from her because, you know, she.
Well, I need to go make, you know, I'm turning down 50, 75 thousand dollar gig because he's not comfortable.
People have what he's why does he want to be with you?
She started to believe like, yeah, why do you want to be with me?
You're this and you can have this, that, that.
I factored all that in when I decided to be with you.
Come on, man.
Did you not think about that then?
Why is it an issue now?
What is the appreciation?
Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,
break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small.
Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance,
you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month,
a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible
and step boldly into the best version of yourself
to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all.
So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being,
and climb your personal mountain.
Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you.
It's impossible for you to love you fully
if all you're doing is living to
please people. Your mountain is that. Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. We'll be right back. 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.
Stop worrying about why i chose you i did why is unimportant right because in this situation situation, Ocho, yeah, I'm who I am and you are
who you are, but
should I not love you
just the same? Should I feel differently
because you don't have this name,
you don't have this title?
I was confused
about why she felt that way.
Why? I hate when women ask me,
you can have anybody, why
me? you know what
now that I think about it I probably should go try to find
one of them antibodies and leave you to F alone
because you're unsure of yourself
which is going to make you unsure
of us and then
long as there's doubt in your mind
you're never going to be able to fully
give yourself to me
but like you just said earlier God don't make no mistakes.
Hey, 1987, Chad, will you grow your hair back?
Love you guys, man.
Thanks for all the relationship and financial advice.
I mean, what I will do as far as growing my hair back,
if I go into campus,
I'll be on campus
about three months.
I'm looking forward to
beating the shit out of Keith Lee.
I'm not sure we can schedule that fight,
but when I do go into a fight camp,
I will grow my hair out.
Won't cut it.
Looks scruffy.
I won't cut it till fight night.
So at whatever point
this comes into fruition,
because he done wrote a he done
wrote a check his ass can't cash yeah but you know sometimes oh joe when you're dealing with
when you're dealing with situations and we'll get back to this yeah those shoes is that a lot of
times it's the outside because when i was in college all her girlfriends was in her ear right
oh he ain't i was like do you understand right why are you over Oh, he ain't. I was like, do you understand?
Right.
Why are you over there?
And I ain't round him out.
I said, but you know your girl's trying to holler at me, right?
Hey, what?
Hey, what?
Why they telling you you shouldn't be with him?
I don't know what you see in him.
They the same ones.
When they catch me and you not around, they asking the same. I'm saying to myself, they asking the same ones when they catch me and you not around they asking the same i'm saying to myself
they asking the same questions why you with her you can do so much better hey but okay i said you
gonna let them talk you right out of relationship yeah and matter of fact and you know what you know
you know what's funny is the one doing all the talking or why you with him you ever noticed they
always single yes or notice they don't never have nobody
or they bounce
from pillar to post
or they bouncing
from dick to dick
but they want you
in the same situation
they in?
Yes.
No consistency.
Nobody you can depend on
consistently.
Come hell or high water,
you know,
well, you know what?
I know he always
going to be there for me
no matter what.
And guess what? While they talk about I don't know why, I guarantee you know what? I know he always going to be there for me no matter what. And guess what?
While they talk about, I don't know why,
I guarantee you right now they'll switch positions with you.
But they don't know why
you want to be with
him, but they'll switch positions with
you and be with him.
I don't know
why women like that. I ain't never
been in no situation. Hey, bro,
that's who you want to be with? Take off. Yeah. Yeah. Enjoy it. Enjoy it. Enjoy it. Enjoy it. I ain't never been in no situation. Hey, bro, that's who you want to be with?
Take off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Enjoy it.
Enjoy it.
Enjoy it.
Enjoy it.
I ain't going to let you.
I ain't going to let you.
I ain't going to let you, you know, mess over my boy.
Now, if I see something, oh, I'm telling.
You got to say something.
You got to say something.
You can't.
Don't do it.
Don't be talking about it.
It ain't what you think.
It's exactly what I think.
So whatever you think, I think I'm thinking. That's what I'm thinking. I'm going to tell him. That's what I think. It's exactly what I think. So whatever you think I think I'm thinking,
that's what I'm thinking and I'm going to tell him that's what I thought.
Yeah.
Don't leave me blind.
Don't leave me blind.
Don't do that.
Yeah.
I never.
Switching shoes regularly.
Those straight tracks.
Look, I bought a pair of the big ballers because I'm a support.
I'm a LeVar fan.
I bought a pair too.
I love the fact that the way he...
I love the way the fact that he came for his boys.
I love the fact that he and his wife, Tina,
he's been rock solid.
She went through her medical issue.
He was right there by her side.
He never wavered.
And he loves his family.
And I can respect that and I can appreciate
that.
At the end of the day, Ocho,
the mind of...
Lonzo,
I think Zo really feel that that might
have had an impact on his career.
It might have prohibited him from becoming
what he could have become.
Because Ocho, three years is a long
time away from especially a professional sport
that's a long long time
hey um we know
you're a busy man you too Ocho but
on your days off from first take do
you stay tuned in
to some of the hot debates or watch any
no I don't
I don't watch it I don't watch I don't watch it. I don't watch.
I don't watch any of that.
I do not.
Because you got to think about it.
We,
Ocho and I,
we go five days a week.
I'm doing two days a week of first take.
And sometimes I take two episodes of club.
Shay,
Shay,
the days that I'm off,
I'm looking at stuff that we could possibly talk about.
Right. Oh, nightcap. I'm looking at stuff that we could possibly talk about on nightcap.
I'm trying to find out,
okay,
who do I think my listening audience,
my viewing audience would like to see me sit down and have a conversation with.
So I don't know.
I don't watch.
I don't watch.
I don't watch any.
If it's not a sporting events.
No,
I don't watch any debate.
I don't watch first take when I'm not old. I don't watch first take when I'm not old I don't watch
anything else when I'm not old
I'm just trying to be the best I possibly can
I know what's expected of me
when I show up
I know what Stephen A you know gave me
the opportunity I'll
I'm forever indebted to him for that
but I know what they expect to get from me
and I'm not going to disappoint
them but that's how I am even when my time was But I know what they expect to get from me. And I'm not going to disappoint them.
But that's how I am.
Even when my time was... Because when we first started,
they used to have somebody to fill in us
undisputed.
And then we just went totally dark.
I didn't watch.
I didn't watch.
But...
Darkmore said,
Detroit probably has the best team in the NFC,
if not the NFL.
How scary could it have been
if Hutchinson hadn't gotten hurt?
Yeah.
Hutch was good.
Very good.
Very, yeah.
But he's on his way to being, you know...
He was, you know...
He had, what, six sacks in the first four or five games?
He was on his way to being a serious defensive player of the year candidate.
And hopefully he can come back next year 100% healthy and pick up where he left off.
But they're getting great production from Z, Z'Darrius Smith.
Z'Darrius is a professional go-get-the-quarterback guy.
That's what he is.
He can rush from either side.
He got great moves.
He got great tenacity. I's what he is. He can rush from either side. He's got great moves. He's got great tenacity.
I like
Z a lot.
Hopefully, they can
put it together, but that back
end is going to have to get a little better,
Ojo, because you don't want...
Here's the thing with it.
You can't
let it come down to a call
one way or another and have it impact the
game.
Right.
When you leave it,
when you,
a,
when you leave it,
it's a three point game or it's a five point game or you down and you try to
get the ball back.
The last thing you want to do is to do something dumb.
That's the last thing that you want to do,
but they look good right now they look really good
Kipper Norwood Jr. said if the Bears
need a coach I think
it should be Ben Johnson because he's a great
one
you like Ben going into the
division? Yeah I like
Ben you know listen if you
can't get Ben Shanahan is
the next big
thing you know I think Ben can do wonders for Caleb Williams.
He can do wonders for DJ Moore and Keenan Allen.
And again, with his creativity and having DeAndre Swift.
I'm not saying DeAndre is Jameer Gibbs in Montgomery, but he's good.
He's good at what he does at the running back position.
He can catch out the backfield as well.
So with Ben Johnson's creativity, I think they will be just fine.
Or Shanahan, either one.
You can't go wrong either way.
Right.
NFL Matchup Highlights said,
What's up, Uncle Nocho?
Just want to say thanks for the shout out.
I made the video edit of Sterling versus Deion,
and I saw you guys posted on Nightcap IG story.
I feel like I made it.
Appreciate that, bro.
Did a great job of that.
My brother obviously
has the ultimate respect.
He's a year old.
He got into the league at 89.
Time came in at 90.
They had some great matchups.
Time has always had a fondness
for my brother.
He's always appreciated
his work ethic
and how he played,
how he approached the game.
My brother feels
the exact same way.
It's always great when I see those guys get together
and reminisce about the battles that they had.
But it's great.
That's one thing I can say about Tom.
Like, I know him on a different level.
And it's funny how people perceive him.
And then when you know him on a different level, it's funny.
But, yeah, I appreciate that man
we appreciate that and
thanks for letting us use it

And so when we have this conversation next year
or five years from now,
I want you to be able to tell me
how you've improved as a man,
both professionally and individually
and that
you're exactly where you thought
you would be. No, as a matter of fact, you're
further than you thought you would be because
that's what progress
is about.
Congratulations. Happy birthday. Happy 31st
birthday, man.
That's it, O Ocho that is it what's that conclude that concludes this episode of nightcap thank you guys for watching us after Thursday night football game as you watch the Detroit
Lions beat the Green Bay Packers their division rivals by the score of 34-31. The Lions are now
12-1. The Packers fall
to 9-4. But it was a very good
ballgame. I think everybody
got something out of this ballgame.
