In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood,
Starting point is 00:01:30 CEO of Tubi. We dive into the competitive world of streaming. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. 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. 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. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Please do. To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Check this out, Gil. ESPN released a list of 20 players, the most to gain or lose this postseason. If you had, okay, here are some of the players. Jason Tatum, Nikola Jokic, Zion Williamson, Joel Embiid, Jimmy Butler, Shea Gildress. If I said, Gil, name the five players that have the most to gain this postseason,
Starting point is 00:03:03 who's number one on your list? The most to gain this postseason, who's number one on your list? The most to gain? Yes. I'll say is this just winning or just playing? He has the most to gain this postseason. So if he...
Starting point is 00:03:18 Obviously, a championship helps everybody, but who do you think would gain the most? Gain the most? I'll say somebody who needs it, probably Shea, Zion, Ant-Man, Tatum, right? Tatum would be first on my list because he's the guy that's been to the NBA finals
Starting point is 00:03:50 and he didn't play well. He's been to the conference finals a couple of times. So now if he gets there, Gil, at his age, what's he, 25, 26? Now he gets the exhale. But he has to, see the problem with tatum is the reason i didn't rank him number one is because he's been there he's been there lost he went to the championship he went to the eastern conference finals he scored he's we done seen him do it all besides yes so
Starting point is 00:04:22 if he gets to the first and second round and he averaged 50 the whole time, we don't care. No, because we go say, yeah, we for the very reason that you just say it. We just saw him go to the NBA finals. We see him go to the Eastern Conference finals. So him getting to the first round of averaging 50. We don't care when you go when you go add 18 to the to the box to sell. I said he has nothing that he he don, he can't be number one in gaining something because the only way he gains is if he wins it.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Zion doesn't have to win. See, Zion has scored 44 rounds and he's back. Right. Shea with 22, if he wins the first round, Shea is boom. Same thing with Emmitt. See, everybody else, if they get out of the first round or have a great first round, Shea is boom. Same thing with Emmitt. See, everybody else, if they get out of the first round or have a great first round,
Starting point is 00:05:08 their stock rises. Yes, but just imagine if Tatum, what it would say. I think Kevin Durant has a lot to prove. A game by a championship. Because guess what, Gil? Y'all said I ain't won nothing outside of Golden State.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Y'all make it seem like I wasn't Kevin. He's like, I'm Kevin Durant. Y'all know who I am, Gil? Y'all said I ain't won nothing outside of Golden State. Y'all make it seem like I wasn't Kevin. He's like, I'm Kevin Durant. Y'all know who I am, right? You know I'm KD. So just imagine him winning outside of Golden State. I think he has to have a lot to gain this postseason because it hadn't gone well for him since he's been out of Golden State. That's what I said.
Starting point is 00:05:44 For him to get any recognition or go into the next level, he actually has to win a championship. Yes, yes, yes. That's why I believe he has the most to gain because if he wins, nobody else, even if the guy you mentioned, if Shea wins a championship, it won't be as big as Kevin Durant because Kevin Durant has to. He doesn't have to,
Starting point is 00:06:07 but they're not going to let him forget. Bro, you ain't won nothing outside of Golden State. As a matter of fact, you ain't even been back. You ain't even been back to a finals since Golden State. You remember that playoff series with, see, this can happen for Shea, Zion, or Ant-Man,
Starting point is 00:06:23 or mostly Zion. You remember when Rose went up against Boston? Yeah. And Rose was the triple-double. Him and Rondo was going back and forth. Both those names elevated, and they didn't do much after the first round. Right. Because how they played,
Starting point is 00:06:45 it put them into another level. That's what I'm saying. He has the highest, he can gain a lot because he can become the face of the NBA. That. The championship. So wouldn't that be the most to gain?
Starting point is 00:07:03 Because if he don't, but that's what I'm saying, it's either championship or none. Even everybody says, if he don't, but that's what I'm saying. It's either a championship or none. Even everybody says, if you don't win a championship, it's a bust. So that's where he is now. That's where he is now in his career. That's where Kevin, I mean, there are certain guys like Jason Tatum, KD, LeBron, Steph Curry. It's championship or bust.
Starting point is 00:07:20 What good is it going a couple of rounds? It don't do anything, especially Steph, LeBron, and KD, because they've all won championships. They've all won titles. So winning the first round or winning a couple of rounds, it doesn't do anything for them. Now, I mean, for Shea Gilgis, yeah, he wins a round. Hey, nobody really expected him to be where they are.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Ant-Man, nobody expected him to be where they are. So that's really, really good. But Jason Tatum, he can gain not only a championship, but now he gets to stake a claim. Hey, when Steph and LeBron leave, your boy got first dibs on facing the league. But now look at this. Now let's say Ant-Man goes to the second round,
Starting point is 00:08:00 and that first round he averaged 35, and that second round he averaged 35, and they lost. Going into next season, he going to be the face coming in. He don't got to win a championship. If Jason Tatum wins, Jason Tatum going to be wins a championship, yeah. But Tatum don't, but you see what I mean? Ant-Man don't need a championship.
Starting point is 00:08:18 No. Tatum has so much success. Not full success, but had enough success so early that we are demanding results like he's the age of Kevin Durant, LeBron James,
Starting point is 00:08:35 and he's only 26 years old. I tell you another guy that got something to gain. I gained a whole lot. Dame Dollar. Yes. Dame Dollar. Yes. Dame Dollar. Yes. He has a lot. A championship
Starting point is 00:08:49 would go a long way because he got Giannis. He's the best player he's ever played with. I would put him, yes. Because he's never been far in the playoffs, and if he gets to the Eastern Conference Finals or just ball out, get to the second round or the championship, he goes into another dimension too.
Starting point is 00:09:13 No, he can't. He can't. Because he's been to the Western Conference Finals with less. He wanted to go to a team that gives him an opportunity to compete for a title. He went to the Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis is a top three player. No matter who you poll, Giannis is going to be one of the top three players. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:34 That's where Dame is. So he has a guy that most of the time he had guys that were guards like him. CJ was a guard. Anthony Simons was a guard. Jeremy Grant was a two, but Simons was a guard. Jeremy Grant was a two, but he mainly played small forward. You got the total opposite of what
Starting point is 00:09:52 you are. You got a team that can compete for a title. He has to go all the way. Yeah, I mean, you know, just for him personally, but when you're talking about that next step, it's unfortunate that Tatum has had success as a young dude, but when you're talking about that next step, it's unfortunate that Tatum has had success as a young dude,
Starting point is 00:10:08 but it's weird to have a 26-year-old and you're saying bust or chip. Yeah. Because we've seen, at some point in time, Gil, man, you gotta stop teasing us, because you're still teasing us.
Starting point is 00:10:24 And I understand, and I think LeBron said something about this. He's like, look, Jordan was how old when he won. I was at a certain age when I won. Everybody's going to be like magic. Well, we ain't going to ever see a magic again. Ain't nobody coming out their rookie year
Starting point is 00:10:39 and winning finals MVP. That ain't happening. And the likelihood of you getting with Kobe and winning finals MVP. That ain't happening. And the likelihood of you getting with Kobe and winning at that age, because who else is going to go to a team that has a guy as dominant as Shaq was? Shaq was in his absolute prime. He was dominating.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Give Kobe a chance. Kobe could do what he was doing. Now, at the tail end, Kobe had caught up. He's like, okay, yeah, I'm the Kobe Bean Brian that I believe that I could always be. But what guy, Ant-Man, look, I like Cat,
Starting point is 00:11:12 but Cat and Rudy go better together, ain't Shaq. No, no, no. So, as great as Ant-Man is, he doesn't have what Kobe had, which is a prime Shaq. And nobody has a prime. There ain't going to ever be another Shaq.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Never. You're never going to see a guy that big, that athletic. And I know Joel Embiid, but people don't realize how athletic Shaq was. Shaq could run. Shaq was mobile. Shaq was agile. Yeah, he had skill. And we're not
Starting point is 00:11:44 going to see that. So, to be able to pair somebody like Ant-Man, like you said, he has skill. And we're not going to see that. So to be able to pair somebody like an Ant-Man, like you said, he's 22. Okay, well, you would have to put him with like a Joel Embiid because Joel Embiid can play on the block. Cat don't really try to play on the block. Cat tries to say
Starting point is 00:11:59 I'm the best shooting big man. I'm the best shooting big man ever. And Ant-Man said, get your big ass out of there and let me dump you the ball to the post but he said well Rudy hogging it up too though yeah
Starting point is 00:12:09 but if I had to rank I would say if he was healthy I would say Joel Embiid Joel Embiid he has a lot to prove Payne Jason Tatum
Starting point is 00:12:25 Luka I don't even know what and Kevin Durant I don't even know why they got Giannis on here why first of all why they got Nikola Jokic
Starting point is 00:12:37 on here why they gonna the man about to win his third MVP you know what I'm saying so guys like him Jokic right
Starting point is 00:12:44 and this is the sad part like he didn't have no pressure about to win his third MVP. So guys like him, Jokic, right? And this is the sad part. He didn't have no pressure when he won the one. Nobody put him in there. If you win, you win. He won one. There's no pressure on him winning it again. If he doesn't win, no one's going to say anything
Starting point is 00:12:59 about his legacy. Same thing with Giannis. He won one, so no one is really putting him in that category. It's like he gets to go unnoticed. No one really cares about Jimmy Butler winning or not. How'd they get Tobias Harris over here?
Starting point is 00:13:17 Luka? No one cares if Luka wins the championship because you know, he's going to be right there. But here's the thing, we've seen him. He got to the Western Conference Finals championship because, you know, it's, you know what I mean? But here's the thing, O'Gill, we've seen him. He got to the Western Conference Finals, what, a year and a half, not just last season, but the year before.
Starting point is 00:13:38 And we've seen him give the Clippers a much more dominant team, give them all they can stomach with just him by himself. So, and he's actually going to lead the league in scoring. At some point in time, he's going to have to turn that. It's kind of like Mike. Mike was averaging 32 and 33. Yeah, that's fun to watch, but
Starting point is 00:13:57 when we go hear some clinging, that's rings in your pocket. We don't hear that yet. Luka's going to get there. Because at some point in time, he's going to have to turn those stats into a title. That's what I said with these guys. When we're talking about it,
Starting point is 00:14:13 when you're talking about Tatum and Luka, these guys are so young. What is the pressure so high on these guys when everybody else was 29, 30, 31, 32 when he was winning. With Luka, Tatum,
Starting point is 00:14:30 I just think Tatum set the bar so high that he needs a chip to go into another atmosphere when the other younger guys, they just need to have great playoff games and they're going to get a lot of recognition. Let's say the Pelicans upset them and Zion's averaging 28 in it.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Zion is back. Yeah. They're going to be playing. He looks good. Zion's going to get all his momentum back going into the summer. Pelicans going to get TV games next year because Zion did his thing in the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Right. But they put some guys on the list. They just put some guys on the list. They just put some guys on the list. Kawhi don't have no pressure. Jokic don't have no pressure. Giannis really don't have no pressure. But now, hey Gil, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Let's just say for the sake of argument, Jokic wins his third MVP in a four-year span. He wins the finals MVP where you ranking it as in as in as for what overall totality
Starting point is 00:15:34 behind Tim Duncan oh yeah for sure you know what I mean so I mean is he a top 10 player? But he gonna be, hey, he inside the top 15?
Starting point is 00:15:50 Yeah, no, of course. Yeah. Hell yeah. He inside the top 15. Yeah. I mean, three MVPs, regular season, two finals MVPs,
Starting point is 00:16:01 and he 28. Yeah, I mean, yeah. You mess around to get a fourth MVP, Gil, you gotta put him in the top 10. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah. He was ready to get a fourth MVP. Uh, uh, Gil, you got to put him in the top 10. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:16:10 You know what I mean? Like, like Larry Bird got three MVPs back to back to back. And he, you can't convince everybody. He's a top 10 player. I don't know why they leave it. I'm out.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Yeah. So, you know what I mean? It's Hey, but I, but here's the thing. Now, if we give him prepared people credit for? Hey, but here's the thing. Now, if we give people credit for three people championships,
Starting point is 00:16:29 he's the last man to do it. And he did it in the era with Michael, with Kareem, with Moses Malone, with Magic Johnson. Look at Karl Malone. Who? Bird. When he got those finals, yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Dr. J. Yep. And all those guys, with the exception of, I wouldn't say Doc was in his prime. Kareem really wasn't in his prime. He wasn't in his prime, yeah. No. But everybody else was. You can't get a real nice 55% that he's top 10 player.
Starting point is 00:17:02 So that's, you know. And that lets you know how much they really do care about that, that the maculades in a sense. Yeah, because he got three. He got me three titles, three MVPs, two finals MVPs. Well, we just OK, check this out. Speaking of Luca, Luca held Kyrie as Batman of the Mavericks, while calling himself Robin of the team after their 138-96 win over Sacramento in Sacramento.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Luka said, he's Batman, I'm Robin. It's just amazing. Everything on our team is amazing. Outside of basketball, he's just a great person. We get along so well. The chemistry is really good right now. Both Kyrie and Luka put on the show on the road and back-to-back. Kyrie ended the game with 24 points, 8 assists. Luka had 28 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, threw three quarters, didn't play in the fourth. Do you agree?
Starting point is 00:17:58 Or do you even think that he meant that Kyrie is Batman and he's Robin? Hell no. Because after he said it, I think his next word was... He didn't say on another note or, okay, seriously. And then he went there and said that. So you can see he was just, oh, yeah, he's Batman, I'm Robin. But anyway, and then he, you know, I think they're playing. They're figuring each other out right now.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I think they're playing very, very well. They're still adjusting to what each other can do. And the fact that both players are so dominant, both players are great finishers, which that is hard to have. You got two finishers who can hit shots at the end of the game.
Starting point is 00:18:56 That just benefits Dallas, right? Yes. Guys who can do the same thing when you're trying to... They shut Luka off, Kyrie gets the ball, hits you with a game winner. They shut Luka off, Kyrie gets the ball, hits you with a game winner. You shut double Kyrie,
Starting point is 00:19:08 Luka gets the ball, he'll hit you with a game winner. So the fact that they got those two, now it's building an offense or a team around the two guys. That's what a lot of teams aren't good at, right? A lot of teams aren't good of,
Starting point is 00:19:23 okay, I got these two guys, let's build the team around them. What do they need to be great? And most teams just get pieces. So the fact that your team is still undersized when your point guard is 6'9", 6'10", and you got another guard who can't play defense, you need taller guys on your team.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Right. Like if they had Porzingis, oh my God, that'd be perfect. But if they had Porzingis, Porzingis, like I'm tired of standing in the corner and Luka dribbling the ball. While he's sitting in the corner. Right. But what's amazing, Gil,
Starting point is 00:20:00 is that normally when we think of finishers, we think of guys that are above the rim, or we think of bigs. We think of LeBron. We think of Gianers, we think of guys that are above the rim, or we think of bigs. We think of LeBron. We think of Giannis. We think of big guys. Luka can barely dunk. Yep.
Starting point is 00:20:12 I think Kyrie got about five dunks in his career. Three came this year. And three of them came this year. Exactly right. Three of them came this year. But you talk about finishing at the rim with either hand. It's amazing what they can do. Yeah, these guys are very, very good at what they can do.

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,
Starting point is 00:21:45 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.
Starting point is 00:22:19 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...
Starting point is 00:23:07 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.
Starting point is 00:23:37 To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Jason Williams says Tracy McGrady would have been the greatest ever if he had Kobe Bryant's work ethic. Do you agree with him, Gil? McGrady was a seven-time All-Star who won back-to-back scoring titles in 2003 and 2004. And the 2002-03 season might have been his best. 2003 and four and the two 20, 2003, 2002,
Starting point is 00:24:07 Oh three season might've been his best. He averaged 32 points, six and a half rebounds, five and a half assists, one, one point seven steals and almost a block of game for the magic. Do you believe had he had Colby's work ethic, he would have been the greatest.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Now this, listen, this was a big, big, big argument back when they were playing. This was a big argument. Who was better? And I remember our
Starting point is 00:24:37 strength coach said this. See, this is when dog wasn't used how it's used today. Dog back then was considered lazy, right? Yeah, he dogged it. Right? And someone said, when it's all said and done, Kobe's going to be on another planet than T-Mac.
Starting point is 00:24:58 T-Mac. Right now, T-Mac is better, but he's like a dog player, right? He don't have that it of what Kobe has. So when time goes on, the laziness is gonna stop one while the work ethic is gonna go. This is when they were both, they were 21, one had a kid, the other had, and they were just, they were playing. And when he said it and you started looking at him over and over and like, damn, he was right. What did you see?
Starting point is 00:25:28 Just, you know, Tracy was smooth. Tracy was chill. Tracy was like Kawhi Leonard style, right? If he had the mamba mentality, I mean, shit. I mean, he was taller, more athletic, shot the ball better. I mean, those were the debates. I mean, you know, and Kobe, I'm pretty sure there'd be record where Kobe said he probably wish he had, you know, T-Max attributes because to him. Yeah, he wish he was 6'9". Yeah, if I had his attributes.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Yeah. Why can't guys see what others see in real time? Because it's self-awareness, right? You know, Vince Carter, you know, heard he's mad and he's mad at me because I said he was lazy. But he has to understand that, you know, this is coming from a place of just,
Starting point is 00:26:41 I admired who he was or who he is. And I'm like, man, if you would have had this mind said oh my god you you there wouldn't be no conversation on who the goat is because there's no one that had the capabilities in the engine that you had you was the you was the carbon copy of what mj was you was the 2.0 that was supposed to be coming in. The game was so easy to you, but you was a nice guy. That was it.
Starting point is 00:27:13 He was a nice guy. You didn't have the selfish bone inside your body. Same thing. He didn't have that selfish bone that he needed that MJ has, that Kobe has. There's just certain players like, let me take this Kobe bone and this Michael Jordan bone and then put into certain players. If you take Jimmy Butler's mentality and put it in some of these players, they're all new players.
Starting point is 00:27:45 It just happens. When you're talking about sometimes we can see something like with Jonah B, when I was going at him and I said, man, you score so easy. If you got in shape, man, you average fucking 35. If you got in shape just a little bit, dog, you average 35 because how you're scoring and how much you're playing, no one can stop you. If you actually took the game serious and took care of your body, you average 35.
Starting point is 00:28:17 I said it about James Harden. seven dribbles, just take out seven dribbles every time you get ready to do your thing and get to like a two, three combo, you'll average 35, 36 the way you can put the ball in the basket. You know, sometimes I think they have to really step outside themselves
Starting point is 00:28:37 and then look. A lot of people don't want to step out of themselves when they have success. It's hard to tell a guy who won MVPvp who score had a scoring title that they can do more right it's like what have you done you ain't done nothing like no no but you but if you take my mentality and i give it to you trust me bro you
Starting point is 00:28:59 see what i'm seeing right juju walk- Watkins leads USC to his first Sweet 16 since 1994. Gil, what's the most impressive thing about most impressive thing about Juju game? That when you, she loves this game.
Starting point is 00:29:19 She loves the process. She loves the work ethic, right? I remember this was after after we won the state championship. And she wanted to go on vacation. She wanted to go to go to vacation for the first time. She had to do a spreadsheet. She had to do a spreadsheet on why she needed a vacation. She went back from
Starting point is 00:29:48 sixth grade to seventh grade. I've only missed four days in the last eight years of my life. And she did this whole thing to present to her parents that she needed a vacation because that's how dedicated she was to the sport. I mean, if you ever watch her workout, you wouldn't know she was a girl. She has no mannerisms. She works out with Kyrie, Kevin Durant, and Booker.
Starting point is 00:30:15 She can mimic all of them. When she's going for a layup, you think she can dunk because she's going with so much power, so much swag. I've seen this girl do some amazing things. Like during big games, she has the Kobe and Jordan gene. There's only a few people that I've seen with it, meaning Jimmy Butler.
Starting point is 00:30:41 When it's a big game and there's big moments, they never fail you. She's one of those. Kaitlyn Clark, too. Yes. You need Kaitlyn to do something special, she never fails. Right. And that's what I've seen Juju, watching Juju for two years. Anytime there was big moments, big games, and we needed her to perform,
Starting point is 00:31:01 she never failed. Her games kind of remind me of Maya Moore's. Yeah. Maya Moore was tremendous off the bounce. She could get to the rim. She could shoot the three. Had the mid-range game. She could pull up.
Starting point is 00:31:17 I mean, and that's why I think Kaitlyn Clark, you look at Paige Beckers, you look at Juju, all those young ladies can get their own shot. They don't need you. Give me the ball and I can get to my spot. Be it the mid-range, do I get to the lane, do I get all the way to the rim?
Starting point is 00:31:38 It's a joy watching them and because the talent is spread out, because normally UConn had all the talent. Stop it. Tennessee had all the talent. You know what I'm saying? And there were some girls here and there. Stanford had a time in the early
Starting point is 00:31:54 90s that they got, you know, Tara Vanderveer, I think it was Jennifer Azee. They won a couple titles in the early 90s and they had some titles. And then, you know, the Baylors came along. The Notre Dames came along. And now you see South Carolina. But for the most part,
Starting point is 00:32:09 UConn, Tennessee hoarded all the talent. Now, you get a Kaitlyn Clark who's the number one player in the country and she doesn't go to one of those three schools. She goes to Iowa. Juju, who's the number one player in the country, doesn't go to one of those schools. She goes to USC. Paige,
Starting point is 00:32:26 who's number one, she ended up going. You see what I'm saying? Now, they're kind of spread out. We got Cameron Brink, the young lady out of Stanford, but she's more of a post player. She's not really getting the ball like those other three ladies that I mentioned. Can shoot the three, can get to the mid-range,
Starting point is 00:32:41 can get to the paint, finish at the rim. So I just enjoy watching these young ladies play because I love seeing... Their game reminds me of a guy's game because the mid-range, the three, getting into the paint, finishing at the rim. You know what's funny?
Starting point is 00:33:03 As much as if this... If Juju was allowed to come out in a draft. Yeah. It'd be, you, Fever will be, they will regret that they took Kaitlyn Clark number one. These, Kaitlyn is great, right? But she's not Juju, right? If you go back and look at Kaitlyn as a freshman, what Juju does, they're not even on the same planet. If they match up in a
Starting point is 00:33:45 tournament, 1,000% Juju's going to pick her up full court. Juju's got a woman's body. You look at the way she's built and you look at the way Kaitlyn Clark is built,
Starting point is 00:34:01 she can take contact. She can play through contact. She has an through contact. She has an adult body. She's like an 18-year-old. That's what I'm saying. She's built like Booker. She played like her fast twitch muscles. She's super athletic.
Starting point is 00:34:17 She will pick her up full court. They're going to have to set a whole bunch of screens to get Juju off her. And if she ever tries to guard Juju it's lunch meat they don't have the same body no they don't even Beckers they're thin
Starting point is 00:34:33 and Juju like I said she feel like Maya more if you look she feel like Maya like that's what I'm saying she's going to come straight down here run right here like it's like and I'm sure Juju's like, just let me match up so I can show the world who is really that girl. Right. And I know that's one of those things.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Juju wants to see Caitlyn because she's going to pick her up full court. She's going to hound her full court and Caitlyn's not going to be able to get past her like that. She's going to pick her up full court. She's going to hound her full court, and Caitlyn's not going to be able to get past her like that. She's going to need a lot of picks. One's just faster, stronger, meaner. They're both going to compete, but Caitlyn's not going to be able to guard her whatsoever. So that's the real matchup you want to see, is you want to see those two,
Starting point is 00:35:22 and it's not going to end the way they would think. Now, Gil, it's time for our last segment of the night and it's called Q&A. Ryan asked, Gil, why was Steph actually crying after Draymond was ejected? Is Steph at his wits end with Dray?
Starting point is 00:35:46 And what do you think? What do you think about Dray did to Patty Mills last night? I think, you know, Steph, it's more of the frustration. Like, it's four minutes in a game. We trying to win this game, and you're getting yourself kicked out. That's more of just frustration as a player, right? It's like, you know, this is the dude we need you to do. Why are you even this amped up at the beginning of the game
Starting point is 00:36:10 to get yourself kicked out? That's one of those frustration things right there. Yeah. I know they were looking for that wrap around his neck, and they just didn't he didn't get the neck but he almost got it he could have been kicked out of that game too but they
Starting point is 00:36:32 called it a common foul so lucky for him man Dre be getting man Dre be getting away with all this stuff man I like Dre man I mean I've had a conversation with him a couple of times. I like him. But, man, I sure wish that sometimes I could have played basketball.
Starting point is 00:36:55 You know, that's the same thing he out there doing. He played football. He's like, yeah, I'm glad I played basketball. And you see, he went right on back to the basketball court. That's a whole different mindset, Gil, to play that. Now, Oakley could have played. Mason, I believe they could have played.
Starting point is 00:37:14 I think Oakley played in high school, but Oak has the mentality. Oak had the mentality. Actually, when I was early in my career, Oak used to work out with us Oak used to come to the track, run he would come to the gym and lift Oak was like, Oak's mentality is a football mentality
Starting point is 00:37:36 he really has a football mentality Kimber Norwood Jr. do you have a favorite shirt to wear and will the Lakers make it past the play-in tournament oh yeah, we can't pass the play-in do you have a favorite shirt to wear and will the Lakers make it past the play-in tournament? Oh, yeah. We can't pass the play-in. Do I have a favorite shirt? Nah, not really. Not no shirt.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Yeah, I ain't really got no favorite shirt. Hell nah. I just got a... Do I... Man, I'm just into the athleisure, man. I, you know, I dress, I mean, I dress up for when I do. I mean, think about it.
Starting point is 00:38:13 I wore a shirt and tie pretty much for seven straight years, 240 days a year. That's what you, you know, you saw me in a jacket, you know, kind of towards the tail end. I kind of stopped wearing the ties, wore a tie, handful of tie on the first take. Man, when I'm out and about, man,
Starting point is 00:38:32 I'm trying to be, I'm trying to be, and I know people don't think, man, that's, but I'm comfortable. Okay, you think, but I'm comfortable. I'm comfortable in my skin. I always have been. And you know, people like, man, man, Offset told you. I said, look. I said, I really
Starting point is 00:38:47 enjoyed the conversation with Offset because he a homie from the Creole. But unless Offset wear a thong or got some lace, I ain't listen to him. Offset ain't fine ass and feed no fucking shanna. Why am I listening to another guy talking about how I dress?
Starting point is 00:39:04 And I can be, hey, cool, but I dress for Shannon. There was once upon a time, Gil, I dressed to try to impress other people. Now I dress to impress me. Man, I'm 55.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Man, you can't lace up your Air Force 1s. Yeah, I can. I am. Yeah, I can. And I ain't got time to be worried about all that other stuff, man. People, if people worry about the right things, who cares how your shoes are laced up?
Starting point is 00:39:35 So, if they're going to put some money in my pocket and give my shoes being laced up right? No. I mean, I just, now, if somebody came and said, hey, Mr. Sharp, we want to outfit you. We want to put you in this. Okay. I got it. But as long as I'm buying these clothes, I'm going to buy
Starting point is 00:39:52 what I like. And just because y'all body messed up, y'all got them BMWs, body made wrong, y'all mad at me because my body tight. I go to restaurants with sandals on. I ain't no sandal guy. Yeah, I go to restaurants with sandals on. I ain't no sandal guy.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Yeah, I go to, hey, listen, I go to sandals with my feet. I need my feet to feel good. If I do have shoes on up, I'm taking my shoes off in the restaurant. If you see me in the restaurant up, my shoes is
Starting point is 00:40:23 off under the table. So, moving forward, if you ain't got no lace and you ain't got no thong underwear on, y'all better shut the hell up. Try to tell your uncle how bad your clothes type made up. Hey,
Starting point is 00:40:39 y'all preparing a meal? I need some financial statements and I need... So other than that, I ain some financial statements. And I need, hey. So other than that, I ain't listening to you. I'm aware of the hell I want to wear. Yep, yep. So I don't know what to tell you. But I appreciate any of you, though, Offset.
Starting point is 00:40:56 I appreciate you coming down, sitting down with your aunt. We had a great time. It's up right now. It's doing really, really well. We had a great conversation. But I love, hey, I love having conversation, but I ain't listening to a
Starting point is 00:41:07 damn thing Offense say. Kashawn Thomas said, what's up, Uncle Gil? Man, why people don't listen and follow rules like today at the bottle signing? Dude know he heard them say no merch is getting signed, but he still tried.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Anyways, thanks thankful the bottles for me and my wife got one bro i i don't know i mean people and people get mad oh you could have signed say bro it's not my event the store says okay he signed with the purchase of a bottle shannon will sign it No other merchandise gets signed. People come in and want to take pictures. People just bringing their hats, bringing their jersey. That's not what this was about. And then they get upset.
Starting point is 00:41:56 So what you want me to do? This is not my store. We try to use the guilt on your aunt. Listen, listen. I'm going to come with your rookie jersey, and I know you're supposed to sound like, and I'm going to throw it up right there. Oh, oh, oh, come on. That's exactly.
Starting point is 00:42:14 You be like, ah. I'm like, come on, bro. I say, bro, work with me. They're like, you can take a picture, but you can't go beside it because we got to keep the line moving. So what they do? No, ma'am. Sir, you can't.
Starting point is 00:42:33 I just give up. I just give up. It's no different than at the airport. We hear them yelling the same thing for the 10 minutes we in line. Have your ID out, right? minutes we in line. Have your ID out, right? Take your shoes off, take your laptops out.
Starting point is 00:42:51 We hear you, but we're not listening. When we get there, what we have on? We got our laptops still in our bag, shoes still on. No ID. The shit they got going on. Until they get up there.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Yeah. Glow the Strode. What's up? One of my uncles got caught in 4K on Freak Nick Doc. Gil, are you going? Hey, Calpain Magic. He said his uncle got caught. He was at Freak Nick and he got caught on camera. I saw somebody say, man, I just saw he was at Freak Neck and he got caught on camera
Starting point is 00:43:26 I saw somebody say man I just saw my past at Freak Neck man look like I said I was there I moved to Atlanta because of Freak Neck and me and my brother we went I think me and my brother went 92-93 I moved to Atlanta
Starting point is 00:43:46 in 94, and I participated in 94, 95, 96. But what they didn't tell you is how they closed the malls down. Lenox Mall, Phil's Plaza, they had to shut them down because they were running up in there, running out the people's store
Starting point is 00:44:01 with their ish in their hands. They had to close them down. Yes, they blocked off the exit. So once you got on the interstate, man, you had to go down near the Clayco to turn around. Oh, wow. Oh, man. Man, the traffic was so...
Starting point is 00:44:17 Man, the traffic was so bad, Piedmont Park, because that's where all the events were. They used to have some events at Lakewood. I don't know if people remember back in like 92, They used to have some events at Lakewood. I don't know if people remember back in like 92, 93, they had some events at Lakewood. Obviously, the AU Center where it kind of originated from. But yeah, that thing was...
Starting point is 00:44:33 If they should have put... You know what? Maybe I should have sought that one. I said, what y'all think about it? Because they had JD, they had Luke, they had Killer Mike, all those. But JD was probably real young. Hell, J.D. might not could have even got in at the beginning.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Because, you know, I was 20. I was 20. Hold on. So I was 24, 25, 26, 27, 28. At the heart of it. But then I'm like, okay, you know what? I say, you know what? I'm a little bit too old.
Starting point is 00:45:04 28-year-old. Most of them did college. They night somewhere between 18 and 21. Yeah. Man, dude, grandpa, dude, started coming out there with real socks on. Man, y'all don't get y'all little ass out here and leave these kids alone.
Starting point is 00:45:23 My last club, the last club I went to, I was 27. Yeah. I was 27 years old, the last club I went to. It was just one of those days this one, the sparklers started to really start hitting the scene.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Yeah. You know, we can sneak in the club and sneak out. When they start bringing the sparklers and start lighting up the section, I was like, yeah. It's time to go.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Time to go, man. Yeah, but that freaknick, man, they closed. That was the first time I had it, but I knew it was coming, Gil. I knew because it kept getting bigger and bigger. All of a sudden it was coming, Gil. I knew because it kept getting bigger and bigger. All of a sudden it was 50,000, then 75,000,
Starting point is 00:46:08 then 100,000, and then a quarter of a, I said, ain't no way. And then it started to get reckless. They started to taking the girls' tops off and started doing the songs and they started breaking into cars. I said, yeah, they're about to end this. And when they had the Olympics,
Starting point is 00:46:24 you know, Olympics came in 96. So now Atlanta is an international city because they got 100 plus countries that's going to be coming in and they say, you know, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. But you know what? Some things have
Starting point is 00:46:40 a shelf life. Some things are not meant to be, this is the 100th annual, like Alabama-Auburn or Michigan-Ohio State. Some things are not meant to have a 100-year run. Some things are meant to have the run in which they had, and
Starting point is 00:46:55 then they go away, and they hopefully, if you had a good enough time like your boy did, they're burnt in your memory. Freak Nick, anything that has to do with freaky right now should be off the table with all the stuff that's going on.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Lord of the Sky Night Ad, can Gil show us shoes in the back? The shoes that you got in there. Oh, I got pants on with sandals. I'm going to eat right after this.

Starting point is 00:48:14 I read the rule book and the rule book in the NBA was you can't wear non team colors for a game oh okay yeah so I wore it for a quarter or I wore it. Yeah, so I wore it for a quarter or I wore it for a half so I couldn't get fined.
Starting point is 00:48:30 So what happened is I was breaking the color barriers and I ended up doing 20 different colorways one year. My second shoe, I did 20 colorways. Right now, people don't know that I'm number one and two for the most colorways for a shoot in that same year.
