Pazimski Brandon Miller Jaime Jaquez Jr. That was the first team So That's it. Yeah, I think the way Gigi played,

they could have put him in first team, and nobody would have argued, but he didn't play that many games. He came in at the end of the season. So, he played well. Second team, that's good. I mean, for the most part, they seem to get it right. Right. There's really no surprises you know on the list right we rarely get an opportunity to hear referees talking candidly about their opinion of players but former nba official bill spooner

recently opened up about chris paul who has a well-known feud with uh scott foster i get asked all the time what are some of your tough guys, some of the bad guys? When I tell them Chris Paul in my 32 year in the league was one of the biggest a-holes I ever dealt with. They say not Rasheed Wallace. Nah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah. Nope. Nothing like Paul. And they're like, oh, he seems like such a nice guy. And I say, yeah, he's a great image cultivator. Wow. That man said in his 32 years in the league, he's one of the biggest buttholes he's ever dealt with. Not even Rasheed Wallace,

who led the NBA in ejections, can measure up to Chris Paul. That doesn't make sense. I wonder why is that? No, because that makes sense. Okay, so somebody like Rasheed, right? When he doesn't get a call, he's just getting a tech and then moving on. Right?

Right. Someone like Chris Paul and like a Luka. You know how Luka cries all game? Yes, yes, yes. In their head all game long. Yeah. And enough to them so the fans don't hear him to give him a technical. So he's pissing them off.

So there's those guys. Some guys just get their tech and get on moving. And keep it moving. Nagged them the whole game. LaMelo Ball is allegedly being sued for running over a kid's foot. LaMelo and the Hornets are being sued by a mother who says he drove over her 11-year-old son's foot last October.

But a video surfaced of LaMelo leaving the stadium Ashley's typing very slow, I might add. Wait. He ain't run over nobody's foot? He ain't run over nobody's foot? He ain't run over nobody's foot, but he sure running some red lights. I'm conflicted

with this, right? You know, I don't have empathy on the kid because if it did happen, he getting paid, right? This probably is the job of his future. Whatever he get from here, two, three, three million at that kid, he's going to be a great entrepreneur. So I can't feel sorry for a kid who all he had to do was break his foot and then get millions. Great, great job.

How does, we've seen how fast he gets out of here, right? Right. All the people are placed, right? Right. How you run over somebody's foot. Run over somebody's foot because the run over an 11-year-old foot, you damn near hit him with the car.

I mean, this ain't no shack foot. This ain't no stick it out. There's a little bitty foot, so how are you not hitting him with your... Your bumper, the front of the bumper. The bumper, the mirror. Like, that mirror gonna hit him before that tire do. So we need footage of Speed Racer hitting his before that tire, dude. We need footage of

Speed Racer hitting his foot. No, we're going to need footage of him actually running over the foot. Something ain't right. Listen, I think he was probably close. That's about it. He was probably close. The fans, obviously now,

they're going to have to do something in keeping the fans away from the area where the players are coming out. Put some type of barricade where they can't be close. Yeah. Yeah, because it's tough, Ocho. If you try to sign some, I mean, people are not paying attention. Because a lot of times you start to sign autographs

and the adults are rushing. You got kids up against the rail. I'm like, man, right, y'all. Get your grown ass back. This is for the kids. Because they're going to rush and the kids right there to bury you. And then I got the kids all pressed up against the barriers. And if you roll down the window and try to sign some autographs, Ocho,

they're not paying attention. They're just trying to get the autograph. And then, you know, people like you're like, okay, watch yourself. Watch yourself. But, you know, kids, you know, they just want the autograph and they're not paying attention. And I'm not saying any of this happened but we've all been in situations all of us are ex-athletes all of us

have gone to the railing to sign autographs for some kids or some people and it gets to be where people are rushing and the kids are getting pressed up against the railing or we're trying to sign you're like okay watch out now be careful be careful

don't, don't want to run over anybody. Um, I just hope everything, I hope everything just works out. I feel, you know, this is last October, right? Not during the end of the season. This is last October. And there's no, there was no report of this when it happened last October. Then you said, You said last October. Yeah.

Where was this all season? Where was this when it happened? We're in an era where media is everything. Everybody has a phone. Obviously, you done videotaped this man running every red light. And the fact that that is... You're using...

He ran over my foot. And then you put out him being Mr. Red, red light. It puts the image of, oh, shit, he did this. Well, we know if the kid's foot is there. Right. He probably came up to the door. Right. And he's writing it.

This is how he signed an autograph outside of his car. He put the and then he's leaving and he rolls and the kid's foot is there but he wouldn't be in this type of speed that he did but they used it to paint the picture right but at some point in time

it just gets to the point that and I hate one bad situation sports and for everybody, Ocho, but pretty soon it's going to get to the point where an athlete, the only assurances that you have that nothing goes wrong is that

an autograph signing. Because I can't win because if I sign 15 autographs and I don't sign one, Shannon Sharpe's a jerk, Ocho Cinco's a jerk, Gilbert's a jerk, he wouldn't even sign my kid autograph. But I don't sign one. Shannon Sharp's a jerk. Ocho Cinco's a jerk. Gilbert's a jerk. He wouldn't even sign my kid autograph. But I saw Shannon, he was signing 25. But why

couldn't he sign 26? Well, you took a picture with two people. Why didn't you take a picture with 200? See, because it's never going to be enough. And then people have this thing, well, that's your job. I mean, if I was making X amount of money, I love how people, I go to the gym. People will wait till they're finished

their workout, and they come up to me and talk about can they take a picture? I say, why'd you wait till you finish your workout? Why did you come ask to take the picture while you was working out? Now I'm working out, you finish yours, I watch them, I watch them. Because they keep looking

over there. I'm saying to myself, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm- myself, they're pretty soon shown up. They take their gloves off and they take the headphones off and put them in their bag. I watch Nightcap. I love the interview. Hey, I love the interview with Cat.

You mind if I get a picture? I said, my man, why you wait till you finish your workout to come ask for a picture? Why don't you interrupt your workout to come take one? Right. You right. You right. You right.

Yeah. I'm just saying. It's like people, when you're at home, one of the things, and most people test this, you hate when the phone rings. You hate when someone come into the door when you're about to eat. I sit down to eat. They wait till they finish their meal. They get

ready to go. They're about to pay. They pay the check. They get ready to leave. You mind if I get a picture? Why do you interrupt your food? Why did you let your food get cold and come get a picture? That's true. I said, boy, y'all be... I said, come on, man. I said, but bro, I'm with

my family. I'm with my kids. And you know, I don't get an opportunity to be with the kids much. I don't get an opportunity to be with them much. But it's going to get to the point, Ocho. I mean, I hope this is like a situation that it

didn't happen. I mean, I see the kid. I mean, we got it posted. We're going to have it posted up. The kid got his foot in the cast. He's on crutches. But I hope this didn't happen. I really do.

I really do. I'm sorry the kid got a broken foot. But damn. I mean, trying to do a good deed and potentially ended up injuring the kid. So I just... Yeah. I just hate that situation happening. I just want to see the doctor report when it happened, what game it was. I need, I'm sorry. I don't just go, I need to see what...

Gil said he need a tie trade. He said, let me see your foot. Let me see if that's a Pirelli. If that's a Pirelli 295 Because you know how sometimes This works right They know the bad media Forces him to settle anyway

Right It's one of those things It's easier to say here's 100, 200,000 Shut up Versus like what happened That's what I said. Because this happened in October, where was the noise then?

Right. How do you hold it off to this long? Were you blackmailing this whole time, trying to get some money? Trying to get stuff. Did he pay you? You said, hey, can you give me a suite of something and it didn't happen? Now you want to

sue? What made you hold this story this long? If I'm not correct me if I'm wrong, I heard that I was reading a little bit about it and it says the kid went to get an autograph and

LaMelo, I guess, pulled off, ran over his foot and the mom said he ain't even signed no autographelo, I guess, pulled off, ran over his foot. And the mom said he ain't even signed no autograph. So I guess that's what happened. He went to the car to get an autograph and I don't know if LaMelo didn't see him or whatever the case happened, but he said

somehow, she said somehow LaMelo ended up running over his foot. Yeah, you probably didn't see him. That's all. You know how kids are in that environment when it's a star player. They're excited, and Melo probably didn't see him and had no idea. That means there's other people out there. So that means there's other people.

Somebody saw something, Hagia. Yeah, somebody saw something. If he did it, why are you suing the Hornets? Oh. They're trying to get a life-changing bag. Hopefully, see, there's just so many Hornets don't want that press. So they'll say, here, here's $300,000, $400,000.

Sometimes it's called a nuisance fee. Just for it to go away. It's kind of like, you know, a lot of things. When I was growing up, we had mosquitoes in the house. You know that screen, though. The screen had a hole in it. So the mosquitoes coming in the house.

Sometimes, instead of just, we get up and spray the whole room with rug spray. Because he was a nuisance. I just wanted him to go away. I ain't trying to kill him, but I want you to leave the room and stop my damn hair. Aggravating his hair.

So, the police report did not include Ball's name or his insurance detail. Damn! So how'd you know it was Mello? And it looked like it's always I know it wasn't

it couldn't have been that culling it because the wind was so black hell that thing might have been driverless they said the police said

the Mello Ball name was not put into the the filing oh come on now so you're just gonna go back and add a name after the fact was not put into the foul lane. Oh, come on now. So you're just going to go back and add a name after the fact?

Yeah. Like, yeah, you got to have physical, I mean, at this point, I need to see a video of this happening because you can just say he did it. Like, how does he prove he didn't? Just like you can't prove he didn't. Like, Is there film? Is there video

of this happening? Because I'm pretty sure if it's outside the arena, they had the arena cameras. Oh, there are cameras everywhere. Oh, yeah. I mean, Gil, y'all guys know now. It ain't no innocent until proven guilty.

It's guilty until proven innocent now. And now, all I got to do is innocent until proven guilty. Oh, no, that's not. It's guilty until proven innocent. Now, it's been the case. Yeah. And now, and all I got to do is put it out there. Because here's the thing. Let's just say for the sake of argument, you can put, somebody can say,

well, I'm going to sue such and such. And they go and they drop the charges. Oh, you know they paid them on the hush. Yeah. So, all I got to do is put it out there. If I put something out there somebody is going to believe it I don't care people like well don't worry

the internet ain't real there's a reason why people keep posting it on the internet because they know people are gullible enough to believe anything they post on the internet they told a story that you know the story of the white elephant came from? They actually had an elephant. That

was an albino. The pigmentation was gone. Ain't nobody believed it. So guess what they did? They went and got an elephant and painted it white with house paint. Everybody believed it was a white elephant. You see how that see?

And that's the way it is in our society now. Somebody can say something. Oh, it happened. I totally believe that happened. I can see it happening. And you know, Ocho got money. Oh, he paid. He done stuck his agent

or what his boy done gave a little something to make it go away. Oh, man, all that money Gil got? Yeah, Gil paid. Oh go away. Oh, man, all that money Gil got? Yeah, Gil paid. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's the society that we live in now. Yeah. Is that people want to believe.

Not that it is true or not, but I want to believe that that happened. Yeah. 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. The WNBA players are being petty about Caitlin Clark. We got some. Oh, LeBron said. What's the name of the podcast? Mind the Game. LeBron said on his Mind the Game podcast with JJ Reddick,

he says that a lot of the WNBA players, and I agree, Charles Barkley also summed it up. Now, Gil, prior to Caitlin Clark, how many private flights did the WNBA teams take? Zero. I think it was all the... Hey, Gil, prior to Caitlin Clark, how many games

was on TV? I'm still trying to find the rest of them games. Okay. You know what I mean? So, I'm trying now also Gil proud of Kaitlyn Clark what chamber of commerce offered their

team a hundred thousand per player before Kaitlyn Clark and y'all mad do y'all realize the attention that she's bringing now I don't know if it's true or not but I heard like that the ESPN

was thinking about having a WNBA today all these great players I don't need to name them y'all know who the WNBA great players were and y'all didn't fly charter now you got charter now you see.

Go ahead. Go ahead. It's that old thing, man. I want to I want to cut my nose off to despite my face. Right. Yes. And that's what this is. She is moving the needle for y'all.

Yes. Yeah. Benefiting the most. But compared to what y'all were doing before, y'all are benefiting also. She signs $100 million. You think you're better than her? And you signed $50?

God damn it, that was $50 more than you had before she got here. And you guys were MVPs. All the awards that you guys were getting, y'all wasn't rewarded for. She got rewarded without any stats. Now y'all get to go back and negotiate. Well, she got paid this. She get a signature shoe. Hey, I'm a two-time MVP.

I'm a champion in this. Hey, how can I get you? You know what? You're right. Let me sign it in. So the fact that there's this much animosity about the person that's feeding you, and I'm going to say it just like she's feeding y'all. Angel Reese is feeding y'all.

Feeding y'all, yes, yes, yes. There's so many doors that y'all didn't do. So to be honest, shut the fuck up because y'all couldn't do it. Just accept it and benefit. Be happy. Skims, this, shoes, lip gloss. It's because someone broke down some walls that were put

in front of y'all. And y'all should be like Caesar. I appreciate you, Kaylin. Thank you. I can eat a little bit better. Hey, Kaylin, thank you for whatever you did. We don't know,

but this goddamn, this man, this white man gave me $100,000. We don't know, but this goddamn this man, this white man, gave me $100,000. I don't know who he was, but he came in here and said, y'all get $100,000 each. Thank you. I appreciate it. Go ahead, Ocho. I think it's dope. I think it's dope what Caitlin Clark

and Angel Reese and all the others that have come into the WNBA have done for the game. To that point, obviously, now I'm curious. Obviously, you know, I wasn't even watching NBA games. Now I'm watching WNBA games. And I happened to have the opportunity to go watch the Atlanta Dream and the Dallas Wings play last night. And I didn't know what to expect.

I didn't know what to expect because, you know, listening to Twitter, they'd tell you the games were horrible. Why are you going to the game? Why are you going to the... And so I don't know what to expect, and I don't know what the experience is going to be like. Man, listen, I had the time of my goddamn life. That's awesome.

I had the time of my life. The energy, the passion, the aura in that goddamn stadium at that Wings and Dream game was unbelievable. I don't go to the club. I don't go to clubs. But if I had to have an idea on what it was like, it's like being at the club. The fans engage with the DJ, but they having a basketball game going on. That's the only that's the only. They stay crunk up in there.

The whole four quarters. Halftime crunk. Man, listen. So after that. Renee Montgomery. Thank you again. Yeah. Miss Montgomery. Thank you for having me, sis. I appreciate Renee. Montgomery. Thank you again. Yeah, Ms. Montgomery, thank you for having me, sis. I appreciate you.

I love you. That was a great experience. I got to take real. So they played a Fever June 21st, if I'm not mistaken, at the State Farm Arena. I told Ms. Montgomery, I said, sis, I'm coming back because this environment and what I was able to experience here is nothing like what people on Twitter be talking about and had me thinking it would be like. Nothing like that.

That shit was amazing. And I got to go back. I got to go back. It's the same thing. You think anybody hated on Magic and Mike for what they did? Because now the revenue increased exponentially. Because I'm old enough to remember when the game, playoff

game, the NBA Finals was on tape delay. They changed that. Michael and Larry. They did that. And then there was another guy came along five years later. Now, how y'all think

everybody getting these shoe deals? In fact, who y'all think everybody getting these shoe deals? In fact, who y'all think these brands, who y'all think that's from? Even if you don't like him, you gotta respect and appreciate what he's done. Ladies, do you understand you're getting attention? And if you're smart,

I'll put ass on that plane going to Paris. I don't care if you don't put in the game because I'm taking it she going to Paris because guess what every big brand in America every sponsor advertising in America want to be attached to Caitlin Clark that's the same thing I said when it was like oh she

has a tryout well tryout that's to drive my ass and then I might ask her who would you like to play with because right now the money is following you And then I might ask her, who would you like to play with? Because right now the money is following you. So who do you play with? Thank you.

Who do you like? Right? Right. And I'm sorry. She doesn't have the accolades to have that much power. But them companies that we're looking for says she does. So that means she does. You ask us, you complained every goddamn year.

We need more money. We want more money. Why nobody want to watch us? God gave you a person and now you're rejecting it. Hey, they didn't lower the rim like we asked. They didn't put you in

bathing suits like I asked. Right? That was a personal thing. Cameron Brink was on the other side. She was on the other side of the bathing suit. But they gave you somebody for us to watch it so y'all should embrace us. Enjoy it. Hey, benefit from it.

Benefit. Y'all got some personalities. Benefit from it. All this dirty playing yall got some personalities. Benefit from it. All this dirty playing y'all trying to do, I'm going to tell you this. They're going to remove your ass. Because she got a little power now. Trust me. It's only going to get bigger.

Hey, y'all remember when young Kobe got that two-piece? Nobody noticed he wasn't in the league after his contract was over. Charles, he was done. They put his ass over in Toronto, sent him to another country. Yeah, you ain't going to be in this country no more. Once

young fella got his power, shit changed. You want to be on the good side of this person. She be my best friend. Hell yeah. I'm a friend of her. I'm a friend of her. Man, you see all these

state farms, you see all these... Ocho, you see all these deals that she's getting? That's good. That's good for the but everybody everybody get to eat because here's the thing if you're hungry i don't care how much it is it's better than what i had i had nothing before so even if i'm just getting crumbs there's enough of the pie to go around. You might not get the slice. You know what?

Hey, guys, I don't know if y'all, I'm old enough to remember. I used to have friends that their mom was a school teacher. Yeah, their mom gave them special treatment. But when they had birthday, we got cookies and cupcakes. We had birthday parties. So why y'all? Hey. Everybody benefited. I'm benefiting. I'm and cupcakes. We had birthday parties. So why y'all? Everybody benefited. I'm benefiting. I'm getting cupcakes. I'm getting cookies.

I'm getting punch. We getting pencils. You know what I'm saying? We getting crayons. We getting coloring books. Yeah. Why I'm gonna be mad at that man? Oh, no. Hey, that's my friend. Hey, Johnny, my friend.

Make sure Shannon get one. You, no. Hey, that's my friend. Hey, Johnny, my friend. Make sure Shannon get one. You damn right. This is a society thing itself, right? It's a whole thing where it's, and I ask people this, I say, all right, would you rather be number two

and you make a million dollars, but somebody's in front of you, right? Somebody's in front of you. He's the lead, but you make, yeah, you make a million dollars. He makes more than you. He makes five. You make one.

Or would you rather be the lead dog and you make 500 million? I mean, 500,000, and you have somebody below you. Do you know more than 50%? Yeah. 500,000 just to say I got more than you? Yes.

I told Ocho, we at Ocho had that study. They did a study. You could make more, but somebody else would make more than you. Or you could make less, and that person would make less. They took less.

Because I just don't want them to make more than me. Yeah, right. Yeah, no, you can't pocket watch. You got to ride. I don't care. Hey, that ain't got nothing to do with me. I'm going to do my thing. What Ocho and Gil, what Ocho and I do,

and we appreciate you coming on and giving us some basketball insight on Wednesday but what Ocho and I do what everybody else do ain't got nothing to do with us but I tell you what my team do we go out and we find out who's spending the money in podcast that's what we do we don't hate on

nobody we don't say this my team says okay Shannon this team spends in podcast and digitally. This is what they do. This is where they distribute the money. Okay. So I just need to, let me know where. And then my part is, is to say, okay, this is what Ocho and I do.

This is what, okay. Because they want to see, they're going to want to see the rate card. Okay, how many views? How many impressions? How many times on your auto week? Do you do mid? Do you do pre? Do you do end rolls?

They want to know that. This is what we do. Will he read it live or will it need to be recorded? That's what they want to be. So when I see other guys getting, when I see Joe Rogan, I'm like, oh, so that means somebody got some money.

Yeah, somebody got some. Oh, I see they've got, oh, somebody got some money. Okay, now how can we get some of it? I ain't saying we got to get, how can we get some of it? Because it's not all, not all, just a little bit. How can we get a little bit? I ain't saying we got to get, how can we get some of it? Because it's not all, not all, not all love, just a little bit. How can we

get a little bit, just a little taste. So, and that's what I, and I told Ocho, Ocho said, oh, we got to do that. I said, Ocho, what we're going to do is that we're going to be so great, they got to come advertise on us. They got to sponsor us. Yeah.

Because we're going to have too many eyes. We're going to have too many people talking about night. Because we're going to have too many eyes. We're going to have too many people talking about nightcap. We're going to have too many people talking about Club Shake Shake that they got to come see us. That's how I look at it. I don't begrudge nobody. You get what you get. They got what they

but what we do, what Ocho and I do, and we thank you that's right. When we win an award, Gil gets an award. Yeah. So you got a Webby coming. You got a synopsis award coming. I mean, it's like cheesy. Yeah.

So that's how we do it. I see what's going on, and I see the money that's in the space and I congratulate the guy oh P-Mac, oh P-Mac one of my heroes because I saw he started out digitally parlayed that into a big time show so it tells

me it can be done instead of being envious of P-Mac hey P-Mac how you do that okay we can do it done instead of being envious of PMAC. Hey, PMAC, how you do that? Okay. We can do it. And that's it. Someone has to break the mold. Someone has to

open the lane. And, you know, just like with the NBA, they were doing charter flights, and I read that Detroit Pistons was the first team with their own private jet which said they said we had John Sally today he said when they got they playing

it stopped this he said it stopped fighting because they had to stay over go to the club they used to get in a lot of fights it stopped the drug usage it stopped divorces because the guys wasn't cheating as much because they got to the next city, right? Right.

And once they won championships, what do you think the other teams did? Well, shit, they got to play. We need to play. Detroit opened up planes. This is what Kaitlyn Clark is doing. She's opening it up for everybody else. Sit back, sit back and enjoy. And when it's your time to shine, shine.

Again, I'm not sure. Maybe the women are looking at it maybe differently than us, and we would have to be able to ask them, why do you think some of the WNBA players feel the way they do about her?

And I would need to hear their answer. Obviously, I haven't heard anyone speak out publicly. I think just in comparison about her... You wouldn't speak out publicly against her. You're suicidal. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It don't matter what they say. Someone

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.
