Bronny was removed from ESPN's 2024 mock draft and has been projected to be picked in 2025. He tweeted and later deleted, Can y'all please just let the kid be a kid and enjoy college basketball? The work and the results will ultimately do the talking no matter what he decides to do. If y'all don't know, he doesn't care

what a mock draft says. He just works, earned, not given. That's reported. And to all the other kids out there striving to be great, just keep your head down, blinders on, and keep grinding. These mock drafts doesn't matter one bit. I

promise you, only the work matters. Let's talk real basketball, people. What's your take? I mean, listen, I like what LeBron is saying. Obviously, at times, it's not fair. A lot of us, Marvin Harrison, myself,

Jerry Rice, you have kids, LeBron, the pressures that come behind with having to live up to the expectations and doing what the fathers did. Yes. All you have to do is work. That's it. Forget the naysayers. Forget all the people. Forget all the noise on the outside. Just continue to grind at your own pace. And when it's your time to shine, you will shine.

Because if you put the work in, no matter what, the results will show up. You don't need to look, I tell my son all the time, you don't need to look like me. You don't need to go out there and be like me. You need to create your own identity and create your own lane in the way you like to do. Whether it be football, even if you don't want to play football, whatever it is you want to do in life, I support you 100%.

But you got to do your best at it. Again, in LeBron's case, with Bronny, it's even different. Everybody's watching. Everybody expecting, well, you're LeBron's son, so you got to play to the standard. You got to have these kind of stats.

You got to do this. You got to do that. But again, don't rush him. Allow him to enjoy. Allow him to grow and groom and enjoy the game of basketball. I think, look, God wasn't going to double bless you. He was not going to give you that talent and turn around and give it to your son.

Right. I mean, one or two things happened. I mean, look, we've seen a lot of players play to have a father-son. Ken Griffey Sr., Ken Griffey Jr. Bobby Barnes, Barry Barnes. Felipe Alou, Moises Alou. I mean, Vlad Guerrero and his son, Vlad Jr. So we've seen a lot of that.

We've seen Archie Manning. He has Peyton and Eli. But Archie, as good as he was, he wasn't Peyton. And my son didn't want that because he didn't want because every time your dad would have caught that. Man, your dad made that play. He just got your uncle. Man, you know how good, man. And so he just did like, no, dad, I don't. play. He just got that. Your uncle. Man, you know how good. Man, you're.

Woo. And so he just did like, no, dad, I don't. And I'm cool with it. I never forced my kids in any direction. Whatever you choose, because I didn't want them to get 25, 30. It says I only did this because of you. Right, right. No, no, no. You did that because of you.

That's what you wanted to do. Right. But I think the thing is, look, the comparison was going to be there. But LeBron has to be careful is that when LeBron, when Junior, Bronny plays well, and then you say, well, he's better than some players in the NBA. Because people are going to remember you said that. Right.

And so that's what you have to be careful. And I understand that's his son. What's he supposed to say? He's supposed to believe that his son what's he supposed to say he's supposed to believe that is that his son is as good as some current NBA players but you have to be careful of that because they're like hold on wait a minute a high school kid is as good as players in the NBA it's not very LeBron you could have said that about LeBron that LeBron as a high school senior was as good as some players in the NBA,

and you would have been absolutely right. Right, yeah. I don't believe you could have, maybe, but if you look at Kobe's rookie year, could you have said that in high school? Maybe. But there was the definitive that LeBron James was better than some current NBA players when he was a senior in high school. No question.

He was 6'9", probably 200 pounds, could jump out, could play all five positions. He was a guard, but he could play the two, the three, the four, the five. He could do it all. But because Bronny doesn't possess his dad's athleticism or size is different and so and plus lebron has to understand bro he gonna get he gonna get strays because of you yeah that's what you have to understand you know the funny thing? When LeBron, even if LeBron didn't say anything,

he going to cast a straight, just in general, just because of who your father is, in general. Yes! Just because. But I think Bronny knows that, and Bronny has the type of temperament,

well, he doesn't really care. He doesn't really care. It's like water, it's like water off a duck's back. You can't. Unless, there have only been a handful of, I think the holes,

Brett Bobby Hall played hockey and the father and the son is in the Hall of Fame. But it doesn't happen. Maybe there's maybe there's like a situation in baseball. I don't know. It's not as Felipe. I know Felipe. He had a brother named maddie and his son moises they all play but i don't know if felipe i don't think moises in the hall of fame i don't think felipe is in the hall of fame or maddie but it's a rarity that you look at kareem you look at magic you look

at jordan you look at jordan yeah i mean mean, come on, bro. You actually think God will give you all of that and give your sons that ability too? Did his son hoop too? I think he ended up playing at UCF. Wait, hold on. It's cold. Let me turn this air down, man. She got me in

the freezing here. Hold on. Baby. Baby. But he's in high school. Let. Baby. Come on, man. But he's in high school. Let him play. He'll develop. He's going to be what he's going to be.

Right, right. He's going to be what he's going to be. But let him be that. Yeah. Because, like I said, it's tough. I don't envy either one because I don't know what they expected LeBron. I mean, my son, I mean, if I had a son that was playing sports and wanted to go to the next level, hell yeah, I'm going to hype him up.

I'll give you an example. My brother said the same thing. My brother used to tell his college teammates, like, my brother is good enough. My brother can start here in South Carolina. He said he could. He would always say, oh, yeah, he's going to play. I mean, it's going to take him a while because he's not advanced because he didn't get the coaching that i got right but

give him a couple years so i don't begrudge lebron for hyping his from hyping his son hell my brother hyped me but obviously our relationship is very similar even though he's not my dad he was he was my role model so everything that he did i wanted to do but i but i get it but people people are looking to i mean i i don't get no i don't get a reason why you want to beat beat a kid up because at the end of the day he's still a kid regardless of who his dad is he's a 19 year old kid i think he's 19 i think he's a 19 year old kid yeah you know some of these people that some of the people that want to beat him up some some of the people that want to pounce are the ones

that really can't find, they're not happy with themselves for one. Yeah. They're not in a position to be able to do what he's doing. Then you have,

you have personal gripes with LeBron himself and now you have another week because LeBron is doing so well there's really nothing you can say about him. So what's the first thing you do? What's the first angle you take?

Take a shot at the kids. Take a shot at the kids. Yeah. So, and I, I never, the first thing you do what's the first angle you take take a shot at the kids take a shot at the kid yeah so and i i never i never understood that why you know it's hard for me ocho to like dislike someone that i didn't i've never met right i mean it's not a lot of people a lot of people like this there's a lot of people like, I ask people all the time. I just, somebody just tweeted me that the other day. It was a tweet. Talk about us. It was just a, it was a nightcap, a night, nightcap clip.

And somebody said, you know what? I like Uncle, but I don't like Ocho. And I tweeted it back like, Miss, you know what? I don't even know you, but I love you. And the fact that, how could you not like me? Like some people that even if you haven't met me, I'm really likable. Right. Like sometimes I might have a punchable face, but I'm a really likable individual.

If you met me before and I greeted you with that hug and fucking bringing in here, acting like I've known you for 30 years and I never met you a day in your life. How could you not like me? I'm so cool. Yeah. And LeBron has to understand it's the same thing that he was saying about Lonzo,

that Lonzo was better than Steph Curry. And people are like, bro, are you serious? The man is an MVP. The man is a champion. And you try to say your son that's in college

is better than him. He's better than Russ. He's better than this. Come on, LeVar. I understand. Hype your kid up. But you're talking about, first of all, there's only 400 players in the world that says I'm an NBA player. 400.

There's 8 billion people. 400 can call themselves NBA players. Now, current NBA players, now you might have been a retired player or you might have played in the NBA and now you're overseas, but I'm saying current. There's only 400 men can say that.

So you saying your son that's in college is better than one of the at the time, Steph Curry was arguably one of the two best players in all the world. but your son in college is better so people like come on LeVar now I understand that you believe your son can play in the NBA but damn

why you had to go to Steph and so that's the approach that people took with LeBron they're like LeBron okay I get it you love your son and we're glad that you're the last but come on bro in the NBA he better than NBA players in high school

that's how you gotta feel about your kids sometimes sometimes you gotta put them up on that pedestal because that's how you feel you know and listen look how they turn they did turn out pretty good obviously he ain't better than Steph yeah he's not better than Steph but them boys

but yeah but Lonzo hopefully Lonzo the one that's hurt ain't better than Steph. Yeah, he's not better than Steph, but them boys do it all. But Alonzo, hopefully, Alonzo's the one that's hurt right now. He's the one that's been dealing with knee issues over the last couple years. But Mello? Mello. Well, young boy, nice with it, boy. He nice with it.

So, that's that. Beyonce's Texas Hold'em has soared to the top of the billboard hot 100 this week prior Texas Hold'em was the first single by a black woman, I said female earlier was the first by a black woman

to reach number one on the hot country song charts an achievement celebrated by notable country music artists and songwriters. Dolly Parton praised Beyonce for topping the country chart. And black country songwriter Alice Randall said that she could retire now after seeing Beyonce's triumph. Beyonce is also the first woman of color. Oh, she isn't the first woman of color in country music other other artists like mickey

guyton and britney spencer have found success in recent years while linda martrick martel blazed the trail as the first black female solo artist to find success in the genre 50 years ago many believe beyonce success could lead to more attention on other black country artists who paved the way at this genre for years. Yep. I knew I knew it was going to happen. I knew it was going to happen. I knew it. I knew it.

Beyonce is one of those artists that can lock in and go into any genre of music and be successful because she has range. She has range. I told you, I've worked, like I told you, I know you don't believe me sometimes. When I was a backup dancer with Beyonce, when I went on tour with Beyonce, when I worked with Beyonce on Lemonade, and we filmed and I was a choreographer for some of the moves that she did, some of the stuff you saw on her tour, on the Renaissance tour, some of that was my shit. Some of the stuff, some of the choreography was my shit. So I already know the type of work she put in and I understood what was coming once she

came out with this album. I knew it was going to happen and you're seeing it right beforehand. This is greatness. You are witnessing true greatness. Once in a lifetime stuff. It takes a special type of person to leave what you're great at and to branch out and do something else. It still be great.

Michael, no. It still be great. No, yeah. But like Michael Jordan says, okay, I'm going to try baseball. He wasn't good at it. But for him to say, I'm going to try it.

Do you know how... For me, I like to stay in my comfort zone. Like what I't good at it but for him to say i'm gonna try it do you know how i like for me i like to stay in my comfort zone like what i'm good at i'm good at talking i can play sports i was good at my hand eye coordination was really good i'm good at talking so no matter the format debate conversation uh uh interview whatever you want to call it i I'm good at that. But you try to get me into something like, nah, that ain't me. So for Beyonce, to whatever R&B, pop, whatever classification you want to list her music as, for her to

branch out and do something totally different, man, ain't very many willing to do that. Ain't many willing to do that. So I commend her. Right. You know, they always say to stay in your lane.

They always tell you to stay in your lane. They stay in your lane. They always tell you to stick to what you're good at. Yeah. But that's the thing when it comes to Beyonce and anything that she touches, it turns to gold. Because she has the range. She has the skill set. She has the artistic impression to do any and everything that

most artists can't do. Which is why she's going to be successful regardless to what angle she chooses to go to. Right. And this is what you're seeing. Now, I'm not supposed to be saying this, but I'm going to say it anyway. I'm going to say it anyway. My team,

Beyonce's team, at some point, we're going to have a tour. You know, we taking the show on the road now. So get your cowboy boots, get your cowboy hats ready. And I got a call with Jay-Z tomorrow. So we're going to see how this thing play out. I'm hoping, I'm hoping I can get some work again with them and do some of the choreography. Oh, you want to do that?

I mean, I was there for the Own the Renaissance tour, so why not bring me back? I thought you was on the Lemonade tour. I was on all of them. I do great work. What you mean? That's what I do, baby. But Ocho, there's like many believe

Beyonce's success could lead to more attention on other Black artists. You know, we really the only community that are asked. Everybody else has gotten a hand, has gotten a hand from someone that wasn't in their community, but only us. We're asked to come up.

Okay, come up with something that can help us how to talk to you and how to treat you. And how can, you know, how can you help your community? Huh? Right. Damn.

So that's Beyonce. Now, I'm happy for Beyonce. And some people do take it upon themselves. Like, you know what? I'm here. I'm going to give back. But we're really the only ones that's tasked to do that. Right.

I mean, it's unfortunate. And it's always been that way. It's been that way for a long time. It's been that way for a long time. It's been that way for a very, very long time. And I just, I think we need to... Y'all still have y'all feelings

about that, uh, about that Taylor Swift, about that Taylor Swift and Beyonce. Oh, they, oh, they, oh, they... They're still in their feelings about that. Yeah.

Y'all will be over it. Y'all will find something else to talk about. But go ahead, Ocho. What were you saying? No, I just, we need to enjoy it. We need to bask in the greatness that is Beyonce. Oh, yeah.

She's a phenomenal talent. But Ocho, who said she wasn't talented? Nobody. Nobody did. Nobody did. But obviously, you know, when it comes to the public and you say certain things, when compared to her and Taylor Swift, people are going to take what you say and twist your words.

And that's unfortunate. And me being me being a high B, I've been a high B for a minute. You know, I support her. I support all their music. Yeah. And I'm just excited for her. I'm excited for her and all she's done. So, man, I still can't believe I mean, I'm one of the greatest of all time. For sure. Look, a lot of a lot of first of all, a lot of

like Beyonce and Aretha and Whitney, they started out singing church in the church. And obviously you have range. You got the voice. But for her, this is, and I look, there've been black people saying in country and maybe the roots in country and black have roots in country, but it's not very many of them because I don't know how many blacks. I mean, I'm sure there's some,

but that's not a, probably a heavy black demographic that tracks in country. I'm sure there are some. Darius Rucker branched out and did what he's singing and then he did country. Charlie Pryde is the one that we all remember. My grandfather loved Charlie

Pryde, but for her to be here in her genre and say, you know what? She probably laid in the bed and say, hey, babe. Like, what up, B? You know what? You like what, baby?

I think I'm going to do a country album. You know what Jay-Z said? What? Baby's going to be number one. Every time. Every time. They say that the chat said they can't hear me. Chat, y'all can hear me now? Yeah, I hear you. Every time. Every time. They say that...

The chat said they can't hear me. Chat, y'all can hear me now? Yeah, I hear you. No, I'm saying... They were saying... Ocho, turn your mic up. Oh. You do realize it's the beehive,

not hive bee. Huh? It's the beehive. That's what I said. I said beehive. You the beehive, not hive bee. Huh? It's the beehive. That's what I said. I said beehive. You said beehive. I did? Yeah.

It's all good. Hold on. Hey, can y'all. They're putting the emoji up. They're putting the bee emoji. Everybody know what you're talking about. Hello, hello, hello. Mic check, mic check.

One, two, one, two. Okay, they can hear me now. Okay, we good, we good. We're good. I saw it multiple times. Someone saying, turn your mic up, I can't hear you. Yeah, they hear you.

Oh, they got me, they got me. Yeah, we back, we back. They heard you been capping. They heard you been capping from the start. What did I lie about? I ain't lie about nothing. Abraham Sawant said,

Ocho put the cap in nightcap. Well, hold on, Abraham. Abraham, tell me something. I didn't lie about nothing. Everything I've said is through experience and you can Google this shit. What y'all talking about?

Look at Beyonce's album and look at the goddamn credits. You'll see my name. Y'all don't be knowing, man. You do realize that Beyonce keep an NDA effect and so you've been doing too much talking, so I don't know if you're going't be knowing, man. You do realize that Beyonce keep an NDA effect, and so you've been doing too much talking, so I don't know if you're going to be on the team. Listen, the talking that I'm doing is nothing bad in reference to the work that she's done.

You do know how NDA work, bro. That's a non-disclosure. Listen, not what I'm talking about. There's certain things I can discuss or talk about, and I haven't said anything. You can't talk about anything. Yes, you can. I don't think you're going to say anything. How you going to tell me and I work you can. How you going to tell me and I work with Beyonce? How you going to tell me, yo? Because I know people that have NDAs that's like her.

They don't even talk about that they work for them. They don't even mention that they work. We already know. Listen, if you went to the show, you would have saw me at the Renaissance Tour and warm-ups. You would have saw me in rehearsal.

So how you going to tell me? Because, and guess what? It's like I saw you dancing for Beyonce. They're going to say that wasn't me. I'm just telling you, like I said,

I know, but I'm just telling you with people that I know, people that have worked for people. I don't know what people you know, but I'm just telling you what people that I know, people that have worked for people. I don't know. I don't I don't know what people, you know, but I'm not sure if they're as high up the food chain as I am, where I can say the things that I'm saying. Maybe that's maybe that's the difference. You can't say that. Maybe that's the difference. Beyonce, Beyonce lawyers don't tell you they work for Beyonce.

They're not supposed to. Exactly. You you're not supposed to. But we all know who our lawyers are. I mean, you don't have to say it. You just know. Wendy are preparing to test the Uber-style

surge pricing model where prices will fluctuate throughout the day based on demand. Wendy's CEO said the company will invest $20 million in high-tech menu boards

that will be available to update prices in real time. So, you know, like with Uber, like at times of the day that the prices go up or down or there's an event, something going on. So Wendy said, we're going to do our pricing like that. So lunchtime, dinnertime, the price is going to fluctuate. Hell nah. That double junior, that thing better be $1.50 like it normally is.

The Baconator? Yeah. I only know about the Baconator because my little brother got me hooked to it one time. One time I went with him to Wendy's. Obviously, really not my thing. I did it one time. But that junior, is it Son of the Baconator? Is that what you call it?

Yeah. I don't know what kind of sauce they put on the Son of the Baconator, Unc. But man, listen here. They got something with that sandwich there. You eat that double Baconator? Yeah, I did it one time. I ain't been back since. I ain't been to Wendy's in a minute, though.

For real? I can give credit where credit is due. The Son of a Baconator was so goddamn good. I don't know what kind of sauce they had on that burger. I don't know what it was, but it was phenomenal. Now, I don't really like this idea that they're doing... The price goes up or down. I ain't with that either, Ocho.

Set your prices like everybody else doing. Set your prices like everybody else doing so I know how much money I need right set your prices I don't don't play don't don't flip flop don't don't play I don't want no surge I understand supply and demand set your goddamn price and leave it where it's at I don't know

um what the price of a Baconator or Frosty or whatever that is but I'm expecting if I go in there and I order it and it's like Frosty, fries, drink, it's $5, $6, $7, $8, $10.

Let's just say $10. $10. Man, let me call between $12 and $1 and you talk about $14. I was just in there yesterday. I see stuff like that with turning people away. It causes people not to go to your franchise anymore.

One thing, don't play with people's food and don't play with people's money. Them two different things you can't play with. Now, you play with both of them, one more strike you out. People ain't going to show up to Wendy's no more. Play if you want to.

Yeah, but I figured, like I said, I'm like, okay, I'm just doing the pricing because when I was in Atlanta, I stopped through Chick-fil-A, and I was like, okay. So I was about to say $5. I was like, man, $5, $5, probably about 10, 15 years ago that you get a burger, fries, and a drink for $5.

You ain't getting that no more for that. Shows how much I go in there and get, buy food for fast food. Check this out, Ocho. A woman is planning to marry an AI hologram that's trained using data from a previous romantic partner. Oh, no, no, no.

Not partner, partners. So she got an AI hologram that she's going to marry that took trained data from some of her previous partners. So she wanted a perfect man and she created it. So basically, she going to bill a bear. Yeah. She going to bill a bear using AI, using technology based on something where she can't get no penetration, no physical touch, a hologram. Yeah. This makes no sense. And you will still be left empty and lonely just like those that left you in your past.

What are we doing? What are we doing? Like, what are we doing? Continue to find the man you're looking for. We all come with problems. We all come with bad... I ain't got no problem.

I'm on a solution. I come with solutions. Okay. I understand what you're saying. I understand what you're saying. But, like, come on, man. Marriott, hologram, technology. Like, that makes no sense.

That makes no sense. At some point, you're going to get tired of him, too. You're going to get tired of the Build-A-Bebear hologram of all the partners you've been with and you're gonna get sick of that too and you're still not gonna be happy and then you're gonna look in the mirror and you're gonna realize well maybe i'm the problem because you are the common denominator yeah yeah it's about self-reflecting. Take accountability. I'm the problem. Thank you.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. Man, I... Man, people... What you think about that? Man, I think she out of damn mind. Man, you know what I think about that. Man, I don't... All that foolishness.

How you gonna marry... How you gonna marry Hollywood? You know what it is, Ocho? Everybody's looking for protection. Excuse me. Perfection. So she's going to take traits from different partners. Okay?

Maybe he had the perfect height. Maybe he had the right personality. Maybe he had a great sense of humor. Maybe he was loving. Come on, man. God dang. It's still a hologram. I know, but I'm saying she wants the perfect because she said, I'm never going to find perfection in one man.

And you're not. And you're not going to find perfection in one woman. You're not. No. You just. The thing is, when you're looking for a mate, a wife, other significant other. You're never going to find someone with all the qualities that you want.

Hopefully, you find someone that has enough of the qualities that the ones that they don't have, you're willing to overlook those. If you got 10 qualities that you're looking for in a person, the likelihood of you finding all 10 are not very good. If you could get the 7...

You might get 7. You get the 7? You might get 7. Now, hopefully, the ones that they don't possess are the major ones that you're looking for. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But if you're going out there and you're going by 10 or 10, you're a damn liar. Ah, please.

That's not even realistic. No, exactly. I think that's one of the issues for us growing up. We're fed, I like to call them lies, we're fed a fairy tale, movie endings, always happy,

and thinking life is going to be perfect in relationships, and thinking the things that we watch on TV, sitcoms, that's not real life. That's not reality at times. Now, can you get those normally? Yeah, in the beginning, it's always like that. In the beginning of everything, it's beautiful. It's peaches and cream. Oh my God, I love him. We're going to be happily ever after. Do you know how

long forever is? Let me take my glasses after. Do you know how long forever is? Let me take my glasses off. Do you know how long forever is? Yeah. You ever thought about that? Yeah. Well, it takes a lot of discipline, man. It takes a lot of work, man.

And it's the kind of work that many people don't want to put in, especially these days, because when something don't work out with one person you're with, oh, you know, we quick, we on to the next. And then the cycle continues to repeat itself over and over and over again. Yeah. Expectations will always steal your joy every time. Yeah. Every time.

But see, it's the way you get the comparisons. Where you start comparison this one to that one or the one before that one. Comparison is the thief of joy. Every time, especially with social media. Oh yeah. You're looking at these pages and you- Oh man, punch your Bible, Joey. ... this nice and she got these bags and she got this house and she got this car and he

got this jewelry and everybody looking this car and he got this jewelry. Everybody looking. Ocho, they be in my town. That's my own shallow. I am. Yeah. I'm like the kiddie pool. I'm shallow like that.

I had one at college, Ocho. You put that spoon in the window to hold it up. I had to put that spoon up on the stomach to hold it up. Yeah. Yeah, I had to hold it up.

There's a certain appreciation that men don't have for that because now all the technology, the enhancements, the procedures that so many are getting done. Yeah, they got to jade it.

Like, yeah, the art of the organic, authentic, strict smarts and some of the things that I am accustomed to loving. Well, used to be accustomed to loving because now it's a little different. It's gone. It's gone. Huh? Jordan over here laughed at my bald man. Yeah.

Man, he over here, he crack it up, man. But that wasn't for the time. That wasn't for the time, Ocho. Wasn't for the time. Yeah, yeah. Long time ago. Long time ago. Yeah, man.

Long time ago. I'm trying to keep it cute now. Trying to keep it cute. Yeah, yeah. Long time ago. Long time ago. Yeah, man. Long time ago. I'm trying to keep it cute now. Trying to keep it cute. I don't want no problems tomorrow. Damn. Check this out, Ocho. A kilt-wearing shoplifter stuck antiques up his butt

and put them back on the shelves. At an antique gallery in Spring, I don't know where that is, it's Texas, a man was filmed concealing items in a manner described as police in his rectum before placing them back on the shelves.

Reportedly, the items involved an incident of a makeup brush, an antique bottle opener, damn, okay, a piece from a restoration hardware store, hardware, and tobacco tin can. Damn! Another store experienced a similar incident piece from a restoration hardware store, hardware, and tobacco tin can. Damn. Another store experienced a similar incident

with the same guy. The effective merchandise was either thrown away or thoroughly cleaned following the incident. Oh, Cho, that's why I don't buy nothing. I always reach to the back. I never get the first thing there. I go way to the back and pull it out.

Help me understand what's the point. What are we doing? What are we doing? What are we doing? What are we trying to accomplish by this? For one, this is an antique store so I would never be in an antique store anyway buying anything that is antique because it sounds like it's expensive.

If it's antique, that means the price tag completely out of my range. Completely out of my price range. Sometimes they just have stuff that's not available anymore, that doesn't make it anymore. And sometimes people just want, yeah, antique. See, people call them estate sales. When I was growing up, we called them rummage sales.

Because you put stuff out in the yard, and people just come rummage through it. So that's what we call it. We call them rummage sales. Now they call them estate sales, where people come and steal the same thing. It's something that they have. Yeah, you're laughing because they know exactly what

I'm talking about. But yeah, that's what it was, Ocho. But now, obviously, people like, people that have really, really high-end valuables, you know, they'll put them up, they'll take them to a consignment shop. Right. You know, and they sell them on consignment, where, you know, the store sells it. It's going to get X and they're going to give you

X. But, man, man, these people, man, people, God, I ain't realize. Ocho, you didn't realize how. The world is crazy, y'all. Yes, you took the words right out of my mouth. Like, no end goal, just out here, just doing stuff.

I guarantee you, I bet it was content guarantee you I bet it was for content purposes. I bet it was for some content. I guarantee you he doing that craziness for some goddamn content. I mean, why he stick a bottle opener up his boogie? You know, I'm sure you can buy a bottle opener. I mean, you can find one of those. I mean, come on, bro. I mean, he trying to be like, that's incredible. He can open a bottle opener I mean you can find one of those I mean come on bro I mean he tried to be like

That's incredible He can open a bottle cap with a booty Bro Listen I guarantee whoever was doing this Trying to create some content Trying to go viral Trying to get some engagement

You get paid for it From my understanding I didn't even know you get paid for TikTok Ain't nobody told me about that Oh yeah for sure So I guarantee he was trying to get paid. Ocho, why you think they be doing this? Remember I told you all these pranks?

And then people be playing, and I said, everybody don't play like you play. You play like that, yeah, yeah, yeah. You throwing water, you in the hardware store, and you throwing stuff over the top of each other, and you look it up.

Man, y'all better stop playing with people. You all at the gas station and all. Man, stop playing. Y'all play too much. You know what's funny is the fact that people are creating stories that aren't organic, that aren't true, just for engagement, just to get paid. Yeah. That's why I don't know. Half the time, I don't think nothing is ever real because it's all made up.

Everybody got a story. Everybody got some type of something that's happening. Or I'm on this date. She didn't want to pay half with me. Or I went out with eight girls and everybody want to spit the bill yeah everything is fabricated yeah everything is fabricated because they trying to get a goddamn check well i'm but i'm saying okay you want to fabricate stuff but don't bring people into your fabrication right now if you got your girlfriends and the guy's like, oh, okay, say you showed up with eight girls

and you trying to get me to pay. That's one thing. But you playing these pranks and you pouring water on me and you, uh-uh, hell nah. You trying to steal my car? I don't play like that.

Right, right, right, right, right. Right. Yeah. Don't, don't, don't, don't play with, don't play with the car. But I'm just trying to figure out, what?

Hell nah, you got to throw all that away. But see, Ocho, that's why I don't buy... The first thing, like, they got a lot of stuff. I always reach to the back. Reach to the back. I ain't getting the first... If it's the last one,

I thought you was going to the stars. Nah, they wouldn't have but one. Why did you get it? Hell nah. It was left up for a reason. Hell to the nah. When you're growing up, you go try on clothes,

my own socks. Man, you know how many damn feet done been in them little footy socks? Hey, this is another thing. Think about when we go to hotels. You know how many people done had them washcloths and had them towels? I could, hold on. I can't remember the last time I even tried on a pair of shoes. As a matter of fact, I can't

remember the last time I tried tried on a pair of shoes. As a matter of fact, I can't remember the last time I tried on something in a store. Damn, you don't go shopping? Shelly ordered it. They sent it to the house. I like it. I keep it. If not, I send it back. I can't remember the last time. I can't remember the last time.

I think it's probably been about seven, eight years I've been to the store trying on a pair of shoes. God damn. Go nowhere. Listen, I'm going to hit H&M. I'm going to hit Zara. I'm going to hit Urban Outfitters. I'm going to hit Express Men.

I got to try stuff on. I can't have you send me stuff without me trying it on because if you send it to me and it don't fit, now I got to send it back. I need to make sure everything is in place so when it's time to wear... You know, people...

I don't sit on that comforter on the bed. I pull that thing back. Man, people that did all kinds of things on top of that comforter. They don't wash that comforter every day.

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.

like rated G. Rated G, but I understand what he... No, that song there, the song says, I touch myself when no one's around me, that ain't me. That ain't me. Wait. So, that mean you would have to have someone else

to partake in that activity? There it is. But I thought you was single, huh? I don't know. That man ain't dead. Oh, so you so, why you ain't tell me you had somebody oh Joe hello

what I got to do with it so only people that's in a relationship can have sex so ain't nobody so ain't no single people out there can have no sex on well I thought you was like I thought you wanted I thought you was waiting to find somebody first before you so you just be giving yourself

away I charge for this I just be giving yourself away? I charge for this. I ain't giving it away. I charge. I was going to say. They got to pay to play. I hope so. Don't give it away free. Ain't nothing free but salvation. Y'all didn't know? Joel Osteen,

I really don't. I really don't know. I don't want, I don't understand why it's so hard for people to understand that's not going to happen. I'm never, I'm not, I don't want to say never, but I'm, I don't believe that I'm going to meet somebody that I'm going to be okay with that. Now that has to happen in 55 years. Now, that happened in 55 years and I've been in relationship for 10 years. I've been in relationship for 8 years and 7 years. That's not going to happen. I like what you said, though.

The fact that you just said, I'm not going to say never leads me to believe that there's a possibility even though it's a non-negotiable for you. The fact that you said never, that means there's a special woman that can come along that can sweep you off your feet

and knock you off your socks that, you know what, she might be the one that could actually possibly be the one to use the bathroom in front of you and pass gas in front of you. Let me ask you a question. Name one of the two women

you think I've loved the most in my life. The two women you love the most? My mom and my grandma. Your mom and grandma. I mean, my sister, my grandma and my mom, but that ain't happening.

And, oh, Shannon, everybody do it. You can get your ass up and go to the bathroom. I don't know what, that ain't cool to me.

Oh, that shows how much you're not, bro. That show you nasty. Lady Ray said, butt cap hold on butt cap fart cap foot cap oh nah these people they be
