dkng.co slash b ball for eligibility and deposit restrictions terms and responsible gaming resources Jordan Love agrees to a four-year, $220 million extension,
becoming the highest-paid quarterback.
The deal includes a record $75 million at the time of signing,
$155 million in new full guarantees.
Congratulations, David Muguleta.
Rep him.
Love's new deal puts him in line with Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow,
all of whom are earning $55 million per year as the top paid quarterback
on an annual basis.
Yeah.
Rightfully so.
Rightfully so.
If you watched him last year, if you watched him close,
even though he's only in his third year,
if you watched him close enough, he's well-deserving.
Oh, yeah.
He's well-deserving.
Yeah, yeah.
His command of the offense, his ability to throw any and every throw
regardless of what halves they're on, his ability to extend plays,
one of the special traits that some of the top quarterbacks have
are being able to make plays off rhythm and make plays off script,
and he can do it all.
He can.
He can do it all. So he can do it all so this contract
is warranted it's good thing they got him now while he has the supporting cast around him that
are all really good at some point those receivers i'm not sure who's going to be the first one up
somebody will have to get that bag yeah for sure somebody will have to get that bag um those
those receivers are the real deal i'm not saying but he reminds you he makes a lot of
throws and his mannerisms are a lot like aaron rogers and rogers if you watch him throw out
that back and you watch that release listen flick of the flick of the wrist i'm not saying the guy's
gonna win for mvps and he's gonna be yada, yada. Because you're talking about Aaron Rodgers. You're talking about one of the transcendent players in the NFL.
Yes, sir.
The guy can make every throw, his ability to throw in the pocket,
out of the pocket, change arm angles,
the platforms in which he can disperse a football,
it's second to none.
But if you watch Jordan Love last year, Green Bay knew they had their guy.
Now, they didn't know he was going to be like this,
but after going through the season
and watching him in the playoffs,
yeah, we got our guy.
It was a no-brainer.
It was a no-brainer.
Think about it, Ocho.
They're going to be in a situation
from 92 into probably 32. They're going to be in a situation from 92 into probably 32.
They're going to have three quarterbacks.
Their quarterback situation is going to be like the Steelers' head coach.
Chuck Norris took over in 1969, and then he went from 69 to 92.
Bill Kyle went from 92 until he, what, 2007, and then now Mike Tomlin took over.
I don't think people
understand how difficult that is it's a quarterback driven league and always has been so the hard part
that's always hard to find is a quarterback that you can lock in for the next 10 years
and you can build around them it's very difficult and for the fact that the packers have had three
back to back to back and far Rogers and now Jordan love is,
I'm not going to say it's unheard of.
It is unheard of.
It's very difficult to do.
It's unheard of.
Yeah.
Go back into history,
go back and look at any situation and try to find a succession of
quarterback.
Because even if you say Montana and young,
when young took over,
he was done by 98 concussions had forced him out, so he already
had five years.
And then, you know, they went to
Jeff Garcia, and then
they went to a lot of... No, they went to
Elvis Gerbach first. They went to
Gerbach, then Garcia,
and then they had a lot of other guys down the line.
But we haven't seen anything like what
Green Bay has been able to trot out.
Not like that.
MVPs back to back yes
Super Bowl champions
go ahead what did you say Ocho
Super Bowl champions
so
you know from 92
I can see a situation where this kid is the quarterback
until 32
maybe beyond but I'm just saying
it's about 40 years
oh joe yeah and you got three quarterbacks yeah think about how many quarterbacks miami has had
since marino oh yeah yeah i mean i mean i do you think they have the one and two because they just
paid two or two just got just got his deal i think what deal. I think it was four for 212, I think, or maybe five for 212.
But that's the thing, though, Joe.
Like, when you're dealing with that guy,
what are your choices?
Go back into the draft and hope
and try to find one better
that's more doable,
have a stronger arm, that's taller?
Right, right, right, right.
I think for Tua,
I think for Tua, what's important for him, and I consider what he's able to do in the Dolphins offense, I think it's perfect for him.
Having Mike McDaniel, having Waddle, now having OBJ, having Cheetah.
All you're having to do is facilitate the ball, hand the ball off.
Yeah. I'm not saying a job is easy, but the supporting cast he has around him, he doesn't have to do much because everyone else around him is so good.
Everyone around him is so good.
A similar situation to that, I can attest to Brock Purdy as well.
Brock Purdy is good.
What they ask of him to do is, but again, supporting cast.
You got Iyuk, you got got debo you had the best left tackle
tackling the game you got christian mccaffrey in the backfield you got kiddo right what you have
to do just facilitate don't turn the ball over and every time if you can do that and not make
mistakes you'll be in contention year in and year out you're right uh the raiders thought it was a
good idea to make fun of patrick mahone Let's take a listen to the sound, Ocho.
Ocho.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like it.
I like it. It's good for the game
even though it's a
the two time
two time
three
two time Super Bowl
three time Super Bowl
winning champ quarterback
it's a division game
two time MVP
two time MVP
let's have some fun
Antonio Pierce is now
the new head coach
it's a new Raiders team
it's a new Raiders team.
It's a new era for them.
Now,
all you have to do now,
you're making fun of the quarterback.
Now,
now you got to show up.
Yeah,
for sure.
Time to play.
That's all you got to do.
And if I'm not mistaken,
the Raiders,
the Raiders,
what they went one in one last year.
Yeah.
They beat on Christmas.
Yep.
They show did.
Yep.
Show did.
But Hey,
I like it. Me as a a player from a competitive standpoint you know we we know we we know how how how good they are over there but hey now if you're gonna
talk and now you gotta walk it i i ain't starting you got you got to back it up you got to back it
up if you notice i ain't i ain't never say nothing about Till Reggie White.
I ain't say nothing about
Bruce Smith.
I know who the ball is.
Yeah, you don't want them problems.
Mainly, mainly
with the D-Tackles, man. Rest in soul, man.
They were in my division, Ocho.
Chester McLaughlin,
rest in soul.
Chess.
I think I played two years with Chet. Joe Chester McLaughlin rest his soul. Yes. I had to play.
I had to play at a couple of,
uh,
I think I played two years with Chet and Cortez.
Cortez and I came out together,
uh,
rest his soul too.
But man,
you talk about going back and forth.
Yeah,
I can imagine me.
Cortez,
Chester McLaughlin and Sam Adams
yeah
Big Sam
hey
fast
first step in the game
fast first step
off the ball
I've stated
I've stated to it
I played with Sam
in Cincinnati
did you
yeah Sam
we're out there
in Cincinnati
oh yeah
with Marvin
yeah
yeah Big Sam
what
Big Sam
was funny man
Charles Barkley calls that NBA a TNT beef he released a statement clearly the NBA Yeah, yeah, Big Sam, bro. Big Sam was funny, man.
Charles Barkley calls our NBA a TNT beef.
He released a statement.
Clearly, the NBA has wanted to break up with us from the beginning.
I'm not sure TNT ever had a chance.
TNT matched the money, but the league knows Amazon and these tech companies are the only ones willing to pay for these rights when they double in the future.
The NBA didn't want to piss them off.
It's a sad day when the
owners and commissioners choose
money over fans, and it sucks.
Well, we know that.
Wait.
Barkley knows that at the end of the day.
The bottom line has always been the same.
When it comes to business, this is a business.
Yes!
We know that. Now, I'm upset.
I'm upset. I'm upset with Chuck.
Hell, the TNT show is phenomenal.
Right.
It's great.
Why?
Because everybody can be themselves.
It's authentic.
It's also teaching why they're allowed to be themselves.
Why did you have to match the offer?
Why didn't you make an offer?
So you don't let Amazon, you don't let them wrap this up.
Oh, we're going to come in at the last minute.
No, Ocho. Ocho, the last minute. No, Ocho.
Ocho, here it is.
Okay, Ocho.
I'm going to put my car up.
Everybody, you got 24 days to be here.
You're going to come in on the 25th day and, oh, okay,
I'm going to match that bid.
No.
TNT knew.
Yeah. And y'all didn't do anything until Amazon came to match that bid. No! TNT knew. Yeah.
And y'all didn't do anything until Amazon came in with their bid?
No, bro, y'all lost out.
Hopefully, ESPN can work out some kind of arrangement,
and that'll be their pre- and post-game show.
Amazon is going to be in the work.
Amazon got a boatload of money.
Yes, sir.
I don't know what NBC, what direction they're going to kind in the work. Amazon got a boatload of money. I don't know what
NBC, what direction they're going to
grow in, but it seems like ESPN
and Amazon
is looking at the crew
as is. Barkley has
he had an out clause.
If TNT lost
basketball, he can become a free
agent unless they guarantee
the remaining nine years
at two at two 190 million which doesn't make sense to me if they don't have basketball why
would you pay someone not enough for nine years 190 million ocho when you don't have what do you
what do you have him do you don't have enough sporting events right okay i get you have those that celebrity
golf classic but you're not gonna pay that kind of money for that money for that yeah but they
they're so good though together and then i i use i use the the the comparison to martin when it
comes to the tnt crew ernie chip i mean ernie kenny shack chuck and chuck is like martin you Ernie, Kenny, Shaq, and Chuck.
It's like Martin.
There's no way.
It's not interchangeable.
Martin, Pam, Gina, Cole, and Tommy.
You can't replace that.
You can't replace it.
It's so well together.
They bounce well off each other.
The chemistry is perfect.
It's not only an informative show about basketball.
It's funny.
Sure.
It's funny.
You can't replace that. You can't replicate that.
No matter how you get, you can't interchange
that four and think you can get the same
show. No, you're not.
They gotta find a way to keep it together.
They gotta find a way to make it work.
Kenny doesn't seem to be
wanting to move.
Now, could they possibly shoot it in Atlanta?
Because that's where TNT normally shot their show.
I don't know where Amazon would shoot their show.
Now, you know the football show, Amazon shoots that on location.
That's very expensive.
I know a lot of you guys don't understand television, Amazon shoots that on location. Right. That's very expensive.
I know a lot of you guys don't understand television,
but to go on location, 19 times.
Listen to me.
Take it from me.
That goes on location from time to time,
and you got to move crews, and you got to pay for flights,
and you got to pay for hotel, and you got gotta give per diem it's very very so you could imagine on the scale of what the tnt crew does i'm just talking about
little stuff that you know that you and i do ocho when you know we we going on tour
that's a big undertaking when we you know when we went to new to New York, we got to have a crew and we got to have
you know, it's a lot.
Yeah.
So, like I said, I don't know
and Chuck,
Kenny, and Shaq
and they're not traveling
every week. That's not happening.
It's not.
Chuck's done got too old.
Ernie done made it abundantly clear
he ain't really trying to move like that.
Shaq have a lot going on. Shaq ain't really
trying to move like that.
Where is going to be the central
location in which you shoot
the show? It's important.
The funny thing about it is
Amazon has the rights
and they ain't short of no goddamn cash over there.
Ocho.
They ain't short of no cash
over there. I've been trying to tell people
this.
Is that if you want to be a network,
you got to get live events.
You need
NFL football.
You need that. What do YouTube
do?
What did Amazon do?
Yes, sir. We want
a Thursday night package. We'll pay you
a billion. We want a
Friday game. We'll give you $110 million
just to have the rights to broadcast that.
Guess what? They're going to have
a Wednesday night game, a Thursday night
game, a Friday night game, a Saturday night
game.
At the end of the day, it comes down to one thing. What are the streaming services doing? A Wednesday night game, a Thursday night game, a Friday night game, a Saturday night game. Yes, sir.
At the end of the day, it comes down to one thing.
What are all these streaming services doing?
What did Peacock do?
Wasn't there a game streamed on Peacock?
Wasn't there a playoff game streamed on Peacock, Coach O?
Yes, sir.
You didn't even know what Fox was. Nobody knew Fox was a network until they got NFL football.
They got the NFC package. Nobody knew what Fox was a network until they got NFL football they got the NFC package
nobody knew what Fox was
they were a news network
yeah
they ain't look back
think about the
think about the networks that had football
gave it up thought they could do without it
NBC had NFL football
gave it up CBS had football gave it up thought they could do without it nbc had nfl football gave it up cbs had football
gave it up abc had it gave it up and they realized one thing they can't live without it you can't
and there's nothing else to replicate it there's nothing else to replicate the viewers the eyes
it's impossible It's impossible. It's impossible.
So,
Charles, I'm sorry, bro, but you know how this thing works.
I mean, don't make it seem, hold on,
don't make it seem like
NBA, the NFL,
the MLB
are the only ones that care about money.
That's how businesses work.
They're not nonprofits.
Everything's going to go to the highest bidder.
Tell me what business is not going to be going to the highest bidder
unless you just ticked off at somebody.
Now, you read the story, you hear the story that Jerry Jones
didn't have the highest bid for the Cowboys,
but
the owner, Bum Bright, sold him to
because Jerry
assured him that he was going to get rid of Tom Landry.
Think about what it's going to take
to come in and fire Tom Landry.
Oh, yeah.
Bum Bright, like, I don't want
nobody to say, I ain't touching nobody. I ain't touching him.
No.
So, but for the most part, you go to the highs better.
Yeah.
Normally a job, if the jobs are comparable, Ocho, and one job is going to pay you $200,000.
The other job is going to pay you $300,000. The other job is going to pay you $300,000.
And you're in the same city.
Yeah.
Who's going to like me?
You know what?
No, that's how it works.
It's so funny.
Listen, and that comes with life as well.
So that's a life lesson.
Not only business, when it comes to women choosing a partner,
correct me if I'm wrong, who are they picking?
Ocho.
Correct me if I'm wrong, when it comes to women picking a partner,
when you have a choice, you got 10 people talking to you,
who are you picking?
Come on now.
My grandfather used to say, boy, it's just as easy for a woman to love a rich man
as it is a poor one.
Come on now.
Hey, if I got to love all the pain, if I got to give you a back massage when you come in here and cook your meals.
You make a hundred thousand.
He made two million.
Yeah.
And you're comparable personality.
You make me laugh.
You got a sense of humor
oh you great with kick
come on now
man y'all better stop playing
it's life
it's life

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.
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 Attorney General.
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.
Oh, Joe, check this out ucla uh head coach deshaun foster had an awkward start to the big 10 conference on media day let's take a listen yeah how you guys doing i'm happy to be here
glad to be a part of this great conference.
Finally putting two great emblems together, UCLA and the Big Ten.
We're a school that's won, what, 123 championships, so this fits us being right in this conference.
Football-wise, we're just excited.
You know, I'm sure you guys don't know too much about UCLA,
but our football program, but we're in L.A.
It's us and USC.
USC. I'm just basically excited, really.
That's it.
Any questions?
Yeah, he's not a speaker.
He's not comfortable in front of the mic. he's not comfortable in front of the mic he's not
comfortable in front of talking to media obviously it's something that you should probably get
training especially when you you in a position of power like that being the face of an entity
like ucla and being their head coach you have to be very very well spoken and being able to talk
like i i like that I like being in front
of camera I would like
not to be in his shoes being a head coach
but I'm really well at
fielding questions I'm really
well at getting a point across based
on something that I'm representing or coaching
and being a leader of men
he was just very uncomfortable in that situation that's all
you can tell it's something he hasn't
worked on or trained to do.
Yes.
Everybody can talk.
Yes.
If you can speak.
There's a difference between the two.
And I don't think people understand that nearly enough.
Right.
That's a gift.
Yes.
Now. You got talkers you got speakers and you got orators right you talk about a dr king or you talk about a churchill or you talk about a jfk
you talk about uh you talk about someone that could command the masses. Obama. Yes. When it's time for him to speak. Yes.
Yes.
Crazy work.
And then you get people that can speak,
that can stand in front of a team,
a Ray Lewis,
a Tom Brady,
a LeBron James.
That's a gift.
Yeah.
And very few
can do it
it's difficult
I don't think people understand
how difficult it is
so Deshaun Foster
being in that
being in that position like that
I can tell
for one nervous
Prime yeah
he didn't know what to say
Prime
Prime oh my goodness
Prime is really good at that
yes
I bet Deshaun Foster
he was
he was brief
he was briefed.
He was told what to talk about.
And he probably went over it a hundred times in his head.
A hundred times.
But when the lights are shining
and those cameras are in front of you
and you're at that podium
and it's just you,
it's in one ear and out the other.
Yeah.
Half of the time,
you don't remember nothing.
I didn't even know.
It's a gift to be able to do that.
I didn't even know UCLA was in LA.
I wonder what that LA was for at the end.
University of California.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah, he going to be all right, though.
He going to be all right.
He going to be all right.
He going to be all right.
Get to a bowl game.
Get to the Rose Bowl.
Get to a. They going to forget that. Forget all going to be alright. You're nervous. Get to a bowl game. Get to the Rose Bowl. Get to a
They're going to forget that.
Forget all about that.
Don't forget all about that.
You remember
what's the coach for the Eagles?
What's the head coach
of the Eagles?
Right now,
Sirianni?
Yeah, Rick Dixon.
Remember how he came out there
with a green track suit on?
Fumbling.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Get to the Super Bowl.
Win the bet.
Yeah.
People forget all about that.
Yeah.
There are very few coaches that are good at that.
Mike Tomlin is good at it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Mike Tomlin is really good.
Really good in front of the camera.
Mike Tomlin is a great speaker.
Yeah, great speaker.
Yeah.
Great.
You know, most other coaches, they're just short, right to the point.
I think Belichick, Belichick ain't give you nothing.
You're like, Bill ain't give you nothing bill ain't give you nothing oh mike you know who's good mike mcdaniel yeah mike mcdaniel's good he's he's he's on he's more of a uh a comedic coach yes he's funny
yeah it's it's uh yeah it's tough oh I said, I think he was just a bit nervous.
You look out there, you see all them people,
cameras going off.
They're there to hear what you have to say.
Everybody's going to remember your first press conference,
your first introduction.
And yeah, it's not easy.
But for us, Ocho, our grandfather made us speak, obviously, like most kids, especially in the black family.
And I don't know if everywhere I can just speak to the South because that's where I grew up.
Right.
Everybody had an Easter speech.
And if you could, like, sing a song, you could say an Easter speech.
And I ain't just talking about no happy Easter.
You know, no happy Easter.
Barney Porter wasn't playing that. And when my grandfather played, my grandmother wasn't playing no, no. Oh, happy Easter feed. And I ain't just talking about no happy Easter. You know, no happy Easter. Barney Porter wasn't playing that.
And when my grandfather, my grandmother wasn't playing
no, no. Oh, happy Easter day. I'm just here to
say happy Easter day. Man, I wish you
would. And
then he come up, hey,
one of you, hey, y'all gonna lead
devotional service today.
So now, hey,
you gotta read from the hymn book.
Hymn 392.
We asked someone for a suitable tune.
Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound.
We got to do that.
Okay.
Yeah.
One of y'all going to pray today.
So we, hey, we seven, eight, nine years old.
We got to go and pray in front of people.
You know, Shayjohn, you know, I got to go.
Maybe last time, Ocho, I got to know. Maybe last time, Ocho.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah.
You know, I don't, for me, obviously, again, just like you, it started in the church.
Me being comfortable speaking in front of crowds, having to read certain verses, certain chapters in the Bible, doing it at a young age.
And then, obviously, when you talk about football,
I got very sad.
I was very media savvy very early.
Yeah.
Being comfortable talking in front of camera.
Then you see me play, right?
You see me play.
You see the fun, the personality,

archery, that arrow is
flying faster than a serve.
A bullet is flying. Hell yeah!

hey they need I'll tell you what
the sport they need to add
what
if them diamonds hit your system who be ready to quick it
I got too much years
I've been training for this a long time
hey man
as a matter of fact
if they have an Olympic sport
where diamonds are involved
I don't even think training would be required
that is something that we just naturally
I'm a child undefeated
but you never know now
I don't
there's a lot of competition out there
they ain't standing like me Ocho
right
I don't put nothing in my system
right
well you already told us about one that made you tap out
now remember
I know the chat
that's why I'm going to get that spot of vitamins so I can spin the block on him.
Yeah.
I know that it worked
because I told you
the first time I had it,
Ocho, I had one.
New one.
Well, I put that
on Ocho.
Yeah.
All I needed was some yellow tape.
It was a crime scene.
Had a small...
Like roadkill.
Yeah, man.
Had a chumped up and everything, Ocho.
Bad, bad change.
Oh, my God.
But they were slim back then.
You know, I had stumbled on one.
Next time I went over to Ocho, it wasn't the same way.
It wasn't the same.
Nah, but you know, round three, she told me, she said, hey.
I said, you don't know what your son, you know, you let your boy come back over there?
Right, right, right, right, right.
She said, bring that dick you had the first time.
Okay.
I swear, people, y'all
saying I'm lying. I swear she
told me that, Ocho.
She said, bring that one you had the first time.
I don't know what they want me to do, Ocho.
I gave you what I had, baby.
Yeah.
Hey.
Hey, boy, you shut up.
You shut up you shut up
I tell
you
my story
my stories
man are
more on
the embarrassing
side man
I told
you
you know
I just
it's
it's hurtful
I ain't got no
good stories
like that man
I told you
man
you know
my shortcomings
in life
so just just one of the worst things fellas in I ain't got no good stories like that, man. I told you mine, you know, my shortcomings in life.
So just one of the worst things, fellas in the chat and women, you can probably attest to this.
And, you know, you know, just hearing, you know, Chad, I want you all to stay with me now.
Just hearing a woman, my mental health is important to me.
And back then I didn't understand it. It's having intercourse with someone that you have feelings
about and
that you love and hearing
her say,
go deeper.
Stay with me, y'all.
Go deeper. And mind you, as she continues
to whisper this in my ear,
I'm already all the way in.
So then, you know, subconsciously, you know, mentally, I'm gone.
My ego, I'm hurt.
And that's something I don't wish on no man.
She already knew Ocho.
She knows you are a shore fisherman.
You ain't no deep sea fisherman.
You ain't got that kind of meat on you.
Yeah, yeah.
She know that.
You ain't got that kind of line.
I don't come with Scooby-Goo. You don't got that kind of meat on you. Yeah, yeah. You ain't got that kind of line. I don't come with scuba gear.
You don't.
Ocho.
I don't come with scuba gear.
I told her.
I ain't really been the same since then.
Yeah, you fished.
This was way back in 87.
You fished with a cane pole.
You got to have a rod and reel to spin it on.
You ain't got that on you.
I'll tell you.
I'll tell you no lie. I lied for you before I lied to you
but I never forget that
to this day
I don't know what she is
but
see here's the thing though Ocho
because you 155
you couldn't put no weight on her and you're like
you hip
your chest
see that's why after that and you're like, you hit. The fuck's gonna hurt? Your chest? Something?
See, that's why after that,
that's why after that I started
doing everything at a faster rate
because
if you're small
and you move fast,
you can do damage.
Man, you ain't doing no damage.
They never know. Well, I guess a thousand paper cuts do hurt. Man, you ain't do no damage. They never know.
Well, I guess a thousand paper cuts do hurt.
There you go.
There you go.
There you go.
Listen, anything at 90 miles an hour,
you're going to feel the pressure.
If you're driving a car and you're driving 90 miles an hour
and you hit the wall,
you're going to feel something.
Nah.
You got an 18-wheeler. You got an 18-wheeler.
You got an 18-wheeler, you ain't got to go fast.
You know what I'm saying?
I come through at 20 miles an hour just running over everything.
Uh.
You know,
we all ain't blessed, man.
Hey.
You get on that
Red Bull and one of the diamonds
yeah
like a trucker all night

yeah I wish I could
I had a testimony
but that right there

that's? I took my time. That's what I took.
That's what I took.
I took my time.
Don't be mad. Oh, you took something.
I know.
You ain't supposed to be able to go this long.
You ain't supposed to.
Whoa.
Why are you trying to put something on my prowess and what I'm supposed to do that. Whoa! Why you trying to
put something on my prowess and what I'm
able to do? Girl,

you took something.
I just took my time.
Hey,
oh man, there's some days, man.
You know, that built
it made me who I am today.
That made me the man I am today.
It built character, you know.
Character, you know.
And I can deal with things like mentally
my mindset is like
sandpaper.
That's why I'm able to withstand so many things
and everything and nothing bothers me.
Nothing bothers you?
Yeah, nothing bothers me. You you know after dealing with something like that
like that is
an ego bruiser
women always
women always gonna do that
look at a woman get mad at you that's why you're done with your

I'm Michael Kasson, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company.
The podcast where I sit down
with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood,
CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world
of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences
with stories that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out
there. And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.
And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the
most crowded of markets.
Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself
at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal
that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Coco St. Laurent.
Do you think the amount of talented international basketball players will grow enough to have a World Cup-like competition?
I don't think so.
Nah.
Nah.
No.
I mean, I guess
FIBA is kind of like the World, you know,
the Olympics is like the World Cup.
The FIBA is the World Cup.
Basically, because World Cup is every
four years and so is the Olympics.
So it's about that. It just so happens that
off years do not coincide with the Olympics.
Right.
Queen of Topics TV

Well, I got the greatest feet of all time.
Dion is the greatest DB of all time.
But in my prime,

Because there's nothing to get through with these feet.
There's one thing about these feet.
Huh?

Prime can't cover me with 10 toes.
He can't cover me with eight. Man, you better leave Prime alone. Prime can't cover me with 10 toes. He can't cover me with eight.

He was our number two at lane.
He was a black joy personified and a wonderful man.
I miss seeing him hop with the cues.
Sending love tonight.
R.I.P.
Jacoby.
Yeah, man.
That was sad.
I didn't play with him.
Yeah, I played against Jacoby.
Man, he was electric.
But CBS was covering the Super Bowl that night in New Orleans
in which he ran the kickoff back 108 yards,
and he had that touchdown where he caught it, got up,
and, you know, yeah, it's sad to hear.
I mean, far too many times, Ochoa players,
they die far too young, man.
What was he, 40, 42?
I'm not even sure how old Jacoby was, man,
but that's unfortunate

how was the Mile High Salute created?
Did you ever do the celebration

That was the running backs.

uh,
TD,
TD,
Derek Lavelle,
Von Hebron.
And,
uh,
what's the fullback name?
Howard Griffin.
That was their thing.
They call themselves no limit.
So,
and just one day that was at practice and they started and, uh, name, Howard Griffin. That was their thing. They called themselves No Limit Soldiers.
And just one day, they were at practice, and they started.
That was just their little thing.
They did it themselves.
But man, they messed around and did it in the game.
Obviously, it was TD.
And I think Vaughn might have
ran on the field, or maybe Grip
was out there, and they did it.
And it took off yeah and now 20 almost
30 years later everybody's still going to buy a high salute but that's that's how it started they
would they called themselves soldiers and they were saluting each other practicing boom
ronnell williams said unclecho, what do y'all think about
Kamala? She has a chance
to win? Of course.
She has a 50% chance to win.
Well, she got a 33 and a third.
I mean, they got Kennedy
and they got ex-President
Trump and they got Madam VP
Kamala Harris.
Yeah, she has a chance.
She has a chance. She has a chance.
I mean, politics is very iffy.
You know, I'm not really into politics.
There are three things I stay away from when it comes to conversion on large platforms like our own, unless I'm well informed.
Politics, race and religion.
Right.
Politics, race and religion.
So when it comes to politics, it's it's it's confusing in a sense.
There's a lot of. Dirt that goes on in politics, stuff I don't want to get into right now.
It's a it's a grimy business is a grimy game, a lot of overpromising and under under delivering by many, you know and I there's a saying
that the best politicians they lie and the
ones that lie the best are normally the ones that
get chosen and those lies
that they do tell before getting
elected they never follow through
never follow through
so
Miss
Miss
she has a good chance to win she has a good chance to win yeah she has a good chance to win so
i'm excited i'm happy for her and made the best person win uh steven bait steven bass

34 Virgo said, yo, shout out to you for going.
Oh, OK. The EYL Fest.
Those boys are on point.
Bro, I just, I mean, for me, Ocho, I think it's like a huge honor
when people want to hear you speak about certain things
and they think enough
of you because i do understand i'm always i always start anytime i go to a an event i always thank
them for inviting me because i do realize they have their choice of entertainers celebrities and
athletes uh and for them to choose me i'm humbled and i'm honored and uh man it's uh
it's a huge
honor for people to like to want to hear
what you have to say that they think enough
of you and your story
your journey who you
are where you are where you came
from and maybe
a few people in the audience
and attendants will be able to take something
from that message that you delivered so
it's a huge honor thank you guys for uh having me i greatly appreciate that we didn't really talk about a
whole lot about the uh the men's game did we oh lebron james had 21 nine assists six rebounds uh
kevin ran had 23 points on eight or nine shooting five or five from the three-point line, two and two from the free-throw line.
Steph had 11 points.
Holiday had 15 points.
Devin Booker had 12.
And Ant-Man had 11.
So everybody that played scored.
I mean, when you think about it, Ochoa.
You had to throw that in there?
Everybody that plays?
They did.
The U.S. shot 62% from the floor, 56% from the three,
but only 60% from the free throw line.
They definitely got to do better than that.
And B was 0 of 3 from the free throw line.
He normally money.
But it didn't come back to bite him.
They out-rebounded him.
Out-assisted him.
But they did
have 17 turnovers.
They're definitely going to have to cut down on the turnover.
Definitely going to have to do that.
That's it.
