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.
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.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Lakers are reportedly not interested in trading Austin Reeves
unless it's for a top-tier big man per Dan Wokie.
Lakers scouts and executives here in Chicago
have openly spoken about the
team needs at the center position, and
it's obvious priority for Palenka
and Reddick. The team has shown no
interest in using Reeves in a trade that
nets them anything less than a
top-tier big, and there aren't any of those
available. With the two most common
linked in the early stages of offseason
is Brooklyn Knicks' Claxton and dallas daniel gafford reeves is one of the few tradable assets the lakers have
joe what kind of player do you think trading austin reeves would net uh the lakers
gotta be a big they look at nothing but a big mbiid? Nah, they ain't getting no Embiid for no Austin Reed.
That ain't possible.
They ain't doing that, Ocho.
Philly ain't doing that.
The money got to line up, Ocho.
Well, you said, I mean, well, shit.
The money ain't going to line up with nobody if you want Embiid anyway.
Well, you might have to get off Austin Reed and Rui.
Okay.
And what's my man that was starting at the center spot? Anyway, well, you might have to get off Austin Reeves and Rui. Okay. And,
uh,
what was my man that was starting at the center spot?
Uh,
Oh,
Jackson Hayes.
Yeah.
Cause they don't need to be,
they need to be in return.
Right.
Oh,
well,
Jackson Hayes is going to be a friend.
So you're going to let you sign it and package him.
Yeah.
I mean,
you got to make the deal where he might get blessed.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
Cause Joel is about to, I don't know. going to have to make the deal work. He might get blessed from that. Right. Yeah. Because Joel is about to enter.
I don't know.
Is he about to enter?
Does he have another year?
Because he just signed a three-year, $193 million extension.
I know the Lakers want to make a big splash.
They ain't really trying to go out here and just.
The Lakers always do big splash.
They ain't trying to do nothing mediocre.
Yeah, they want to start it with Will, and then it came with Kareem.
And, you know, they got Shaq.
They got LeBron.
They got AD.
Luka.
Luka, yes.
They better not let Joel and B go over there with Luka and Bron.
Let me just start over here.
This is a blackout game for you.
Man.
Yeah, so it kicks in this year, right?
25, 26, 27, yeah.
So the option kicks in this year, right? 25, 26, 27, yeah. So the option kicks in this year.
Next year?
In 26?
Okay.
So what's his base salary for this year?
50?
Gotta be like 55, 56.
52, yeah.
52.
Damn. Boy, getting to the money on, 56. 52, yeah. 52. God damn.
Boy, get to the money on, ain't you?
Base salary?
Man, you see, I told you,
you're about to sign three-year 221.
Yeah, three.
Three-year 221.
Three-year 321.
That's 70.
That's 70 what?
71 mil.
71, 750, however you want to slice it up.
Yeah, he worth it.
What?
Listen, every penny.
Look, he going to play for a long time.
He going to play for a minute.
He going to play for a good minute.
The way he play play below the rim
right
effective
I mean
and when he done
you will never hear
from him again
he be just like Tim Duncan
he might be worse
than Tim Duncan
cause he gonna go back
to Serbia
and you will never hear
from him again
he gonna be on his farm
with his horses
yep
he ain't gonna hear
nothing from him
AR is coming off
his best season yet,
averaging 20 points,
four and a half rebounds,
five and a half,
5.8 assists,
shooting 46% from the floor.
And he's gotten better
and better from an undrafted rookie
to his first year
to his second year
to this year.
He's been sensational.
He's gotten better
and better every single year.
Yeah, man.
He's been unbelievable for the Lakers as a career option,
especially after they got Luka.
Even before they got Luka, I thought he was trending in the right direction,
playing great basketball.
His package as far as offensively has enhanced over the years.
He's gotten better and better off the dribble, catch and shoot.
I don't really think he have,
he don't have much of a weakness to me,
on the Ochoa side of probably defending on the perimeter,
which is-
Yeah, he ain't gonna be able to defend.
That's the way he killed it.
And that, but I mean,
we don't really look at the guy to slide them puppies like that.
He can get to, he can get all the way to the rim.
Can finish.
I agree with you.
I don't think he has a whole lot of weaknesses,
just that he needs to work on his ability to defend.
And it's hard because you don't want to get beat on your first dribble,
first or second, because that way help can't come quick enough.
And if it does get there, they're so far out of position,
ain't nobody being able to get back.
And now you got him and Luka on the court.
So you got two guys that really can't defend off the first dribble.
Yeah.
It's tough.
Yep.
It showed in that T-Wall series.
That was us.
Yeah.
Because Ant kept putting, they put Ant, they put him, Luka in the pick and roll.
And then Ant won't ruin the pick and roll.
Like, Austin Reed. He wasn't even just endo mcdaniels he was he was being aggressive offensively going at who if luca or ar was guarding him he was going at them as well like they didn't let them dudes
off the hook it didn't matter where you was at you can play high and seek all you want to we
gonna find you hey that's what you do you get When you get a fish on the line, what you do?
Hey, you hold him.
Don't let him get off. Don't give
him too much slack. If you give him too much slack,
he's going to jump off there. But you don't want to pull him
too hard because he'll break your line.
Hey, just hold him. Just hold him.
I'm going to get you to the boat, son.
You're going home today.
You're going home. Either you're going to the pen or you're going
on the wall. But you're coming home with me today, bro.
Yeah, that's the only two options.
The pen or the wall.
City council members in San Antonio have filed paperwork to consider renaming their airport
after Spurs president and recently retired head coach Greg Popovich.
The proposed name, the San Antonio Greg Popovich International Airport.
That's all right. Yeah. I International Airport. That's all right.
Yeah.
I like that.
That's all right.
I like that.
Especially with Pop and all he's done.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he means a lot to the organization.
San Antonio, they ain't got nothing else going on in there.
Nah, he running things over there, man.
The Alamo, that's all y'all got going on there.
Oh, you been there before? I man. The Alamo, that's all y'all got going on there. Oh, you been there before?
I have.
It's nice, no?
I asked about the Riverwalk.
That was what I asked from her.
She be hyping it up.
It's okay, Ocho.
It's okay.
They got the rodeo there.
They got the rodeo or something.
Yeah, they got, yeah.
Okay, okay.
So if you're into that kind of thing.
Like Houston?
It ain't
like Houston.
Nah,
San Antonio ain't nothing like Houston.
Nah. Ocho?
It's Texas.
Ocho, please
don't mention Houston. I need you to help me out, bro.
I'm in Houston right now. That's why
I would just. I need you to help me out. Okay, I meant Houston right now. That's why I would just... I need you to help me out.
Okay, I'm sorry.
My bad.
You're right.
Please.
My bad.
My bad.
My bad.
49 of them, Brock Purdy has agreed to terms on a five-year, $265 million contract extension,
including $181 million in total guarantees. The highest
paid quarterbacks in the NFL based on
a year-to-year basis. Dak Prescott
at $60 million. Joe Burrow,
Josh Allen, Jordan Love, and
Trevor Lawrence at $55 million.
Tua
at $53.1 million.
Brock Purdy, $53.
Jerry Goff at $53.
That's a good number.
Right where they have him slotted is a good number for him.
Yeah. I mean,
Ocho, you got to think about it. The man made
$2.9 million over the first three years of his
career. Now he'll get a check every
week for $2.9 million.
I know, yeah.
Listen, he deserved it.
Hey, well-deserved.
Well-deserved. Yes.
I like Brett Purdy.
I just didn't view him at the tier one type quarterback.
No.
He had a superior supporting cast around him.
You got Trent Williams.
You got Deebo.
You got Brandon Ayuk.
You got Christian McCarthy in the backfield.
How did he look once some of those pieces went away?
It wasn't as pretty. It wasn't as pretty.
It wasn't as pretty, huh?
It's all about Ocho.
When real estate, what is it about?
It's about location, location, location.
In the NFL, it's about position, position, position.
He plays a premium.
No, he plays the premium position.
Yes.
And so, you're like, man, that house ain't worth no $40 million.
Maybe if it wasn't in Bel Air, you're right.
But it's in Bel Air.
It's absolutely worth $40 million.
And if you want it, that's what you're going to have to pay to get it. Yeah.
Well, a starting quarterback in the NFL that's gone to a Super Bowl,
he's gone to two NFC championships.
That's what you're going to have to pay to keep him.
It's really that simple, Ochoa.
You know, all that.
Man, he ain't worth that.
You work with somebody to pay for you.
And he plays very well in that offense, in that Shanahan offense.
Yes!
He plays very, very well.
Look, actually,
he's probably worth more
because he saved Kyle Shanahan
and John Lynch's job
because they invested all that money
in Trey Lance.
They gave up all that draft capital
to get Trey Lance.
They took this man as Mr. Irrelevant
in the last pick in the seventh round.
Now, if you don't take him
and you got Trey Lance
and you done moved on from Trey Lance,
you gone.
Yep.
You gone. Yeah. You gone.
Yeah.
Hey, Uncle Ocho.
Are you, didn't he tear his ACL last year?
His first game.
Debo gone, right?
Debo with the commanders.
Okay, so he got Kittles.
Who else he throwing?
Brandon Ayuk will be back.
Juwan Jennings.
Ricky Purcell.
Ricky Purcell.
Ricky Purcell. Am I you going to be back. Juwan Jennings. Ricky Purcell. Ricky Purcell. Ricky Purcell.
Am I, you going to be back already after ACL?
Yeah.
Yeah.
ACL don't take that long.
Medicine different now, Joe.
Medicine different now.
He did it real early, so he'll definitely be back.
So he did it like in September. so October, November, December, January,
February, March, April, May, June, July.
Oh, yeah.
We got a few players coming back.
We got Brandon Ayoub coming back off ACL,
Stephon D coming back off ACL.
And it seems like they're recovering faster
because obviously technology is a lot more advanced,
and the rehab and stuff that they do is a lot more advanced
yes yes more so
players are coming back faster than ever
especially once you get over that mental that mental
block and understanding that you could
trust your knee and then be comfortable
cutting and moving oh man that's
I mean that's that's that's the hardest
part right there in just
three seasons he's passed for
9518 yards, 64
touchdowns, four playoff
wins, NFC Championship, and a
Pro Bowl.
That's the going rate.
CJ Stroud is up
next.
CJ Stroud up next, don't you?
Absolutely.
Listen, he
finna get the bag.
Yeah.
Pretty soon, Listen, he finna get the bag. He had to walk it down.
And, you know, pretty soon you're going to have Jane Daniels and Caleb Williams.
They're going to be coming down the pike.
Them boys, they finna set the mark.
They finna have the quarterback out of control.
Oh, they're going to reset it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's 60 million.
I mean, with Josh Allen Allen got his whole contract guaranteed.
$265, Ocho.
Hey.
Well, no, we're tacked on, so it's like $330.
Hey, was that more than what Deshaun got?
Deshaun got $230 guaranteed.
Yeah.
Damn.
He got the same agent?
No.
Deshaun had David Muguleta.
I don't know who Brock Purdy's agent is.
David Muguleta, and I think all of them are athletes first, right?
Who's Brock?
Oh,
yeah, I've never heard of them.
Deshawn
David Muguleta is his agent.
I think all them are the athletes
first. I thought Todd France, who
has Dak.
Who?
Who?
Look at CEO Todd Fraser
I think he's at Athletes First
yeah
so
but yeah I agree with you Ocho
I think Brock Purdy
he was deserving
had earned this
given what he had done
his resume
a Pro Bowl
a Super Bowl
NFC Championship game
two
he had been
gone to two
NFC Championship games
remember he tore his
his elbow
messed his elbow up
like the first snap
yeah
that was a playoff game
wasn't it
that was a playoff game
yeah
a championship game.
The NFC championship game to the Eagles.
Yeah, sure was.
And so, yeah,
he earned this.
He earned this big payday.
I like to see guys, and I like to see team
reward the players. You play well
and we're going to reward you. Don't do all that
haggling. I hate that they haggle
all other positions except the quarterback position.
They never do the quarterback position like that.
Ever.
I hate that.
Look, man, hey, I understand that he's important, but I've done my job.
I've gone to four Pro Bowls.
I've been two or three times first-team All-Pro.
Right.
And now you want to haggle me?
Hey, they're going to always do it.
They always.
I'm trying to think who.
So CJ is going to be up next year.
As a matter of fact, if I'm the Ravens, I go ahead and do something with Lamar.
What you mean?
Sign him.
I extend him.
Yeah, hell yeah.
You got to do it again.
Probably sometime
In the middle
I bet they do something
In the middle of the season
Watch
In the middle of the season
Or after the season
Next year
How many years
You got left
Shoot he just signed
That big one
He signed a five year
Two something
Yeah
So what he in
This third year
Into that
Second year
This is the second year to it.
Yeah.
But you got certain people that's getting ready to overlap him,
and they ain't got no business.
Yeah, no.
Well, you see, we just named three, six, eight quarterbacks,
and we didn't mention Lamar.
Hey.
I think Lamar is about 50.
They ain't got no business overlapping young Bull.
Yeah. Yeah.
Damn.
Excuse me, hold on.
I got to use the bathroom real quick.
Hold on.
Go ahead.
Well, you better get him before he messes around and win a Super Bowl
because now you have to pay him $70 million.
Lamar?
Yeah.
He has two MVPs.
The only guy on this list that has an MVP is Josh Allen.
So Lamar has two.
Dak doesn't have any.
Joe doesn't have any.
Joe has gone to the Super Bowl,
but he's the only one, he and Brock Purdy,
that's on this list that's gone to the Super Bowl.
None of the other guys have even played in a championship game.
Yeah, that's going to be the separator for Lamar.
If he can get him one, if he can win one,
it's over.
It's definitely over if he can do that.
Well, they got
to back that Brinkstroke up.
Oh, for sure.
But they definitely have the team. You know, they re-signed
they re-signed
they didn't re-sign him. They
extended him. King Henry gave
him $25 million, two-year extension, $25 million.
They extended him.
I like Rashad Bateman.
I like the receiver core they got.
They brought Andrews back.
They brought Lively back.
Likely, I feel likely.
They brought him back.
Look, the defense is going to be solid again.
Offensive line is intact.
Lamar is going to be Lamar.
So you know they're going to be consistently, they're going to be pretty good. Offensive line is intact. Lamar is going to be Lamar. So, you know, they're going to be consistently.
They're going to be pretty good.
Yep.
They just got, you know, the hardest thing is to break it through that wall
the first time.
Mm-hmm.
Once you break through then, all of a sudden, it's just like it happens.
Yeah.
But that's the hardest thing.
You see Josh Allen hadn't broken through yet because seemingly when they had to go
against my homeboy
only a handful of people
have been able to
stare him down
in the playoff game.
Yeah.
And that's been
Joe Burrow did it
and Tom Brady did it.
Brady beat him
in the Super Bowl
once and
Jalen Hurts just got him.
It's tough.
It's tough getting through that first time.

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.

people getting there.
Hey, Joe, you ain't just see the man
with the alligator?
Canoe? He was canoeing with his wife.
Oh, he was running from the cops.
What?
He jumped in the water with the alligator
so the cops couldn't come and get him.
And he sat there arguing with the cops
and the gator right there by him
and the gator came close to him.
He fighting with the gator
and refusing to get out of the water.
You ain't see that?
Nah, the gator ate him up? Nah, man, the gator wasn't big enough out of the water you ain't see that the gator ate him up
nah man the gator wasn't big enough to really hand him like he wanted to but the gator tried
to you know take a little bite of him but he was too small oh no he was too small to do something
with him i don't i listen i don't know how long it took the cops to get him out that water
but he was he was in deep where they couldn't get to him. Boy, that gator was any bigger.
No,
I seen,
I seen,
I seen the story where,
uh,
a man and a woman,
uh,
were canoeing.
Uh,
the gator took his wife.
What?
Yeah.
The gator took his wife,
ate his wife.
And I started thinking,
man,
did,
did that man take his wife out there on a canoe trip to get rid of her?
I'm trying to understand how I get the wife and not, well, okay, they only attack one person at a time.
That was Florida.
That definitely wasn't Florida.
It wasn't Florida.
That canoe, yeah, it was.
It wasn't Florida?
It wasn't Florida. Yeah, they were talking about you need to watch, you need to be aware in Florida. He wasn't in Florida. That canoeing, yeah, that was. He was in Florida? He was in Florida.
Yeah,
they was talking about
you need to watch,
you need to be aware
in Florida.
Oh, yeah.
And keep small pets
because a lot of times
people get their pets smashed
because they're walking
them close to the canal,
won't you?
Yeah.
And you got to realize
the gator's an ambush predator.
Yeah.
So he's going to
lighten his speed.
Yeah.

Oh, absolutely. You jumping
in there to grab the gator, open it.
Yep.

NFL owners plan to vote next week on a new playoff sitting
proposed by the Lions, according to Albert Breer.
If it gets passed, the number seven seeds in each conference
will be decided strictly by their record.
A non-division winning team would be seeded higher
than a division champ if they have more wins.
What did you think about that, Ocho?
Why do you keep messing with the game, Mom?
The whole thing is to win your division.
You can't
see the thing is
you take one isolated incident,
Ocho. You took Minnesota.
Okay, Minnesota was 14-3.
Yeah. Now they're a
lower seed
than say somebody won 10
but you didn't win your division
right
how many times have a 14 win team
hasn't won the division
when it just so happens
you're in the division
with a team that was 15-2
right
damn
hey the chance of that happening again
ain't gonna happen like that again
ain't gonna happen like that for a while.
I just,
just honestly,
me,
leave the game alone.
Leave the game alone.
Leave it how it is.
You know,
I think we're,
well,
the people in position,
they're tinkering too much.
Yeah,
they,
they,
they doing too much.
I feel bad for people that play on the defensive side of the ball.
And I'm an offensive player.
Yeah.
I'm handicapped so much,
they can't even play what we have come to love
and know as a game of football.
And it's true art.
You just can't.
You can't.
You can't.
Leave the game alone, please.
Joe,
you know,
they removed it.
I think in the NBA,
they removed division winners,
right?
Did they remove division winners?
Yeah.
As far as getting higher seed.
Yeah.
I don't think there's an NBA.
Nah.
Cause it used to be like that.
Yeah.
If you want your division.
Yeah.
You get an automatic. Yeah. Yeah. like that. Yeah, if you want your division. Yeah. You get an automatic, yeah.
Yeah, it did.
No, I don't want to do that.
Don't do that.
Ocho, the Steelers are working on a trade for Chris Olave.
They have the assets to give them a bunch of picks.
Are the Saints tanking to get Arch Manning?
What are they doing, Ocho? What are the Saints tanking to get Arch Manning? What are they doing, though, Joe?
What are the Saints doing? What's really going on?
Hold on. Arch Manning ain't...
Wait, he's a sophomore, right?
No, junior.
He'll be a junior. Yeah, he'll be a junior.
Oh, so he coming out this year. He can come out.
He could.
I'm not saying that he will.
He could. Because we know the Mannings,
they normally stay all four years.
Yeah.
Both of his uncles did.
His dad got injured and had to retire.
Right.
Had to give up football.
Can you imagine Archie Manning?
Huh?
And they're from around there?
And they're from New Orleans?
They're from New Orleans, yeah.
New Orleans, yeah.
Archie got drafted by the Saints number two overall.
Imagine if Archie go to the Saints number two overall. Imagine if that, if Vavarji go to the Saints,
boy.
And I like,
and I also like that,
I like Chris Olave to the Steelers.
That gives Aaron Rodgers
a nice target.
Mm-hmm.
That gives Aaron Rodgers
a nice target.
Now, that'd be a good
one-two combo.
Actually, that's a
one-one combo.
Yeah.
Because Chris Olave
ain't no goddamn number two.
And you know DK,
you know what DK
Metcalf can do.
Yeah.
Yeah. That'd be a nice
little setup.
Yeah, Aaron Rodgers is going to like that.
Ocho said Aaron Rodgers
is going to be the quarterback. Yeah, I could.
Come on, man. The writing is on the wall.
You already know. You know how they do.
Ocho, speaking of
New Orleans, Joe, you're going to love this.
Ten New Orleans inmates escaped jail by breaking a hole behind the toilet.
After breaching the wall at the New Orleans Justice Center in New Orleans,
the inmates left through a door used to bring supplies around 1 a.m.,
scaled a wall, and ran across the interstate.
The words, too easy, can be seen written on the wall above the hole
with an arrow pointing towards it,
according to a photo shared by the sheriff's office.
The escape wasn't discovered until hours later, about 8.30 a.m.,
when staff noticed them missing during a routine head count.
Man, that was a cool movie.
What movie that was on for?
Yeah, shoot. It sounded like Law Abiding Citizen a little bit. It movie that was all for? Yeah, I'm sure.
It sounded like Law Abiding Citizen a little bit.
It was just one person and not 10.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was another one.
An older one.
They put it too easy.
Hey, this is too easy.
Where they going to go with no money?
They had a plan, Ocho.
Huh?
Hey.
Go hook.
Hey.
The thing is, look.
They're going to go to where they're familiar.
They're going to go to family and friends instead of getting the hell away from Dodge.
Right. They got to go somewhere they know. You don't have no choice.
You can't go nowhere unless you got that kind of money. You can't go nowhere.
Listen, I'm breaking out, especially depending on how long long How long my time And my sentence was
If you're serving life
Okay I get it
But if you
If you ain't got that long to go
What's the point?
Yeah
Unless you
Unless you in there for a elbow
I mean that's
Man please
Yeah if you in there for a long time
You don't
Hey
If you in there for a quarter or more
Yeah Okay I don't know hey, anything, if you, if you in there for a quarter or more.
Yeah.
Okay.
I don't know,
maybe even a dime.
I'm, I'm,
I'm,

A nick,
I think you can sweat that one out.
You can sweat a nick out.
Shut up.

They give you 54 days off of good
behavior, fair.
If you be good the whole year, they give you 54 days
off.

what it was like, you know,
doing that kind of time.
Didn't talk, didn't tell,
didn't do nothing. He did his time, hard
time, and you say, man, them people,
they think they gave me all
that time, and I was going to be sad, but they gave me
too much time to think.
They gave me too much time to think. They gave me too much time to think.
And I just, listen,
to hear that after all that time
and to still have that positive mindset
and his mindset is completely
different. He's not the same person
he was when he was out.
I'm like, well, damn, who is you now?
They're all completely different.
Damn.
Well, they gave me too much
time to think.
I think better in my own
bedroom.
I don't think
well around a whole bunch of people.
Joe, I don't know.
Man, what?
You got to live like that with a
man sleeping on top
of a box. Oh, no, sir.

Yeah, man.
Spades is what I do now.
I don't play no games.
There's one thing about it.

ain't one of them.
I don't know, Joe. I might
need to see you play. I might need to see you play
a couple of hands.
I got you. And see how well
you can read the board.
Because you need to be able to read
your partner.
Not only can I read my
partner, I already know what's going to happen. Listen, can I read my partner, I already know

Counting cards.
So that way I know you...
Count them and read them
and say it's all the same thing.
Count them and read them.
I can't even go to Vegas no more. I'm banned.

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.
I got to find out from Joe what's a people real name.
Man, you know, you call somebody a nickname so long, Joe, you don't even really know their real name.
It's not their. Man, you know, you call somebody a nickname so long, Joe, you don't even really know their real name. It is not their real name.
Yep.
So, hey, man,
you know such and such.
I said, no,
because when people ask me,
hey, Sharp,
you remember such and such?
I say, from Savannah State.
I said, do you have a nickname?
Right.
Yeah, they call themselves.
Yeah, I know exactly
who you're talking about.
Or a former teammate.
You done called somebody
a nickname for 25, 30 years.
Yeah.
Man, don't ask me
their real name.
Right, because we don't know. I don't know it. No, 30 years. Man, don't ask me their real name because we don't know.
I don't know it.
No, I'll explain.
Look, I've only had a handful of barbers, especially like Joe, who's my barber in Atlanta.
He's been cutting my hair since 94.
So he's been cutting my hair 30 years.
Nobody else has ever cut my hair in Atlanta except him.
Growing up, a guy named Reverend Green and a dude named Bobby Lee Wilkins cut my hair.
Then when I come find him, Luther Maynard cut my hair.
And then I went to college.
You know, you go to college, you find out one of your teammates can cut.
Them $2, two feet haircuts will come in handy.
Yeah.
A dude named Coop and then I had a homeboy named Mud
cut my hair.
Yeah.
I got a young kid out here named Amari.
He's from Little Rock, but when I
met him, I didn't know he was from Little Rock. I'd just seen
his work on IG.
I sent him a letter and I just hit him up.
And I went and got a cut.
And then he started telling me he went to
Parkview High School that's in Little Rock.
The same high school my mom went to.
Is the dude that cut you, is he short?
Nah, this dude I'm talking about ain't
short. But the dude named Dre who used
to cut my hair, he a little shorter
than Amari. Yeah, okay. That's
probably who it is, Dre. Maybe.
Yeah.
Dr. Frank L.
Bellamy said, as my grandma
used to say, Lord, if this
ain't the best podcast, I say glory.
Great show, fam. Doc,
thank you so much. Thank you for your support.
Joe, you don't know Dr. Frank
L. Bellamy, but she probably was one of our first
five subscribers.
Oh, really?
She came to our very first road show that was in Vegas.
She was there.
The Atlanta show, she was there.
The New Orleans show, she was there.
She's probably going to be at the Charlotte show also.
I mean, she's been, I mean, our family, our supporters at Nightcap, they support.
Yeah, they support. They come.
Big time.
So, Doc, and she found out my brother was going to be playing,
I think it's at Myrtle Beach.
And she always goes down there and say, man, look here.
I got one of our listeners on Nightcap.
Her name is Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy.
She's going to come up. Say, what's up?
And sure enough,
he's,
she said she came up.
Pretty grim and said two picks,
ice picks,
quick picks,
Nixon six.
I like it.
Uh,
big Mike said,
go New York.
Oh,
Joe,
talk your talk.
Yeah,
listen,
I'm a heat fan.
I'm a heat fan.
And I'm,
I was only going for the Knicks to piss off my baby. Um, I'm, I'm a Heat fan. I'm a Heat fan, and I was only going for the Knicks
to piss off my baby.
I'm sure she's watching. She's emotionally
unstable right now. She was crying because
obviously Boston went home. I've never
seen someone love a team that much.
You know, when you invested that much time and
that much emotion
into a team.
Crying? Yeah.
What are you doing?
Yeah, if I lose, I might cry. I ain't crying
somebody else lose.
I hope you're okay, mama.
Go Knicks.
Pat Duff
said, I hope fans are understanding
better how this second apron
works. Celtics and the Warriors are
a perfect example of how it affects championship
windows.
They did it so because they want teams to be like
to be able to do what
the Warriors did by getting KD
and have KD and have Steph
and have Klay and have Draymond
they don't want that
they don't want the big three Miami Heat
again they don't want that
you can do it
but you're going to be paying $200 million in luxury tax
and then you jump in that second
apron and become a repeater.
Okay.
Let us
laugh. Ocho Iso,
in your opinion, which NBA
team had the worst finals loss?
The
worst finals loss?
Yeah.
Yeah. loss the worst finals loss yeah probably be somebody who got swept
right that was probably supposed to win
the series and got swept yeah worst
finals loss uh the Lakers have to be up there when they got beat by Detroit
It might be
It might be
It might be the Heat when they got beat by the Mavericks
It might be Houston when they beat Orlando
With Penny and Shaq
Yeah, but Elijah Warren was on a different level
Shaq was on a different level too
Shaq was young
I know he was young, but he was still dominating the league.
They couldn't do nothing with him.
It's just not only was Elijah Warren great, but the guys around him played.
Jaden Smith hit those seven threes in that one game.
But think about it.
They had Shaq and Kobe, and they got gentlemen sweet by Detroit.
It was a great team during that time.
Rasheed Wallace, Rip Hamilton.
Rasheed, Big Ben Wallace, Chauncey, Rip Hamilton, and Tayshaun.
Yeah, Tayshaun Prince.
Okay.
I think McDyess came off the bench.
Didn't they have McDyess coming off the bench?
He might have came off the bench, yeah.
But I don't think that's worse than the Houston. Boy look here before my big mcnyce messed that knee up boy when
he was in denver i was in denver when he was there you were nice yeah and man jump out the gym was
saying yes oh yes mcnyce was like that jump out the gym like shannon brown jump out the gym
yes boy he was six he was six eight and jump like
that yeah i played with uh i played with mcdice and phoenix uh obviously it was later in his career
but yeah man he played in alabama so i'm an sec guy so i always kept up with them dudes man all
them guys from alabama can jump robert or people don't realize robert or used to play above the
rim before he messed his back up and just started shooting threes. But when he first got to the league...
Right.
What Jason Richardson...
Michigan State.
Well, he can jump, too. He was another...
His son can jump, too.
His son, he got a son.
Yeah, he jumped like what?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Antonio McDyess was real nice. I was in Denver when he got there. But McNice, Antonio McNice was real nice.
I was in Denver when he got there.
All them guys, Matumbo, Jalen Rose, Rodney Rogers, McNice, Mello, all of them.
Deshaun Allen, who do you think is the strictest coach in the NBA back in the day?
Chuck Daly, Pat Riley, or Casey Jones?
I mean...
Well, is there somebody more strict than Pat?
Yeah, I'll try this.
I don't know. I don't either.
Pat run a tight
ship over there, man. I think he's been doing that
since the days he coached with the, what,
the Knicks and the Lakers?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Magic said he was like that when Magic got him.
So, and then, you know, he went to the Knicks.
And, boy, they think about it.
They had Mason.
They had Oak.
They had Xavier McDaniel.
Charles Smith.
He coached all of them.
Boy, they had a team full of powerful
boys. That's it.
Hey, that's what they say.
Come to the paint if you want to. You come the first
time, you ain't coming back, I bet you.
No, son.
They put you on that flow for sure.

Whenever it comes to any kind of rankings, boy, I always put everybody before me.
