Ocho, a video went viral of a plane full of Lions fans hushing the flight attendant during the game-winning field goal. Ocho, has your viewing experience during a big game ever been ruined? Wait, hold on. Bring that to me one more time. They were on the plane. Right. And, you know, they're watching the game. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:49 And, you know, she's trying to make her announcement about, you know, fasten your seatbelt. In case of allegedly, you know, drop from the ceiling. Right, right. Place yours on before you assist someone else. Right. And she... Yes. Stop talking. Y'all see us watching this. Oh, they... The plane shifts the flight attendant? Yes. Trying to. Y'all see us watching this. Oh, the plane shifts the flight attendant?
Starting point is 00:04:08 Yes. I made an announcement. That's funny. That's funny. For one, no disrespect. Everybody on the plane has been flying for years, I'm sure. They know, they understand the regulations. I know she has to do that because it's protocol. It's part of the FAA. Yes. Yeah. You know, but understanding, she got to read the room, honey. Honey, you got to read the
Starting point is 00:04:29 room. You know, if you know people are watching the game, and when you make an announcement, you know what it does to the TVs? They stop working. Yes. They stop working, and people are watching the goddamn game. Man, you're lucky ain't nobody cut your ass out. And you watch yourself, Mocho, and then
Starting point is 00:04:46 they come on the flank. You know, we're going to start coming Oh, man, stop! Just come around! You ain't got to tell us you finna come around with the car. Damn! When we see you in the aisle with the car, we'll know you coming around. Damn! Man, I be watching
Starting point is 00:05:04 somebody. Man, man please come on man hey that's funny that's funny can I tell you something I don't mean to do this when you get on the plane right and they come around they tell you
Starting point is 00:05:22 can you fasten your seatbelt on the plane? Yeah. For safety precaution. And I always think to myself, like, if I'm not sure what the seatbelt going to do, if anything was to happen. So, you know, I don't be wanting to augur, but I always thought about that. They'd be so hell bent on that goddamn seatbelt. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:47 And they talk about that seat cushion as a flotation. Hey, if that plane go down, I ain't gonna be able to use my seat cushion. I don't poop in it. I ain't about to put it next to my face. I'm about to throw that kid out the window. What good is a seat cushion gonna do me until that plane go down?
Starting point is 00:06:04 I done messed up everybody's cushions. Hey, man, listen, man. Boy, I, yeah, no, I ain't, I ain't, I ain't, I ain't finna talk about that. But you know what, Ocho? I go ahead and fasten mine because they make it seem like it's life or death if you
Starting point is 00:06:19 don't have that seat belt and that seat back to the full upright and locked position, like the plane won't start. I'm like, man, will the plane start if I don't have this seatbelt, that seat back to the full upright and locked position like the plane won't start. I'm like, man, will the plane start if I don't have this seatbelt up? Damn! What the hell? But they be on it, boy. They be on it. Listen, I don't
Starting point is 00:06:35 argue with them. I just fastened it up. I always bring my seat up right. Obviously, it's protocol. They have guidelines and rules that they have to follow. Yeah. I'm saying it, but in hindsight, when you really think about it,
Starting point is 00:06:52 this thing ain't gonna help if anything happens. Yeah, they make it seem like the plane won't crack if my seat belt ain't fast enough, my seat belt ain't up. Or your phone, if your phone, like your phone is gonna mess up with the electronic stuff up front if you on your goddamn phone
Starting point is 00:07:07 well we don't need to be flying if that's the case I don't argue with them people yeah I don't argue either I don't want to talk about this man hey if they ain't broke they spend I said ma'am it's broke
Starting point is 00:07:23 boom boom I said ma'am'am, it's broke. Look. Boom. Boom. Boom. I said, ma'am, I told you it's broke. You think I'm lying? Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:07:34 I said, man, it is. Hell no. Bad up that fly. Ocho, here it is. A woman is going viral for having to cancel her honeymoon after 270 guests wedding
Starting point is 00:07:43 only gave $3,000 in cash including one person who gave $10. Hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. She mad because she only got $3,000? $3,000. Also, she's trying to recoup her money from what she paid for the wedding.
Starting point is 00:07:57 I guess so. That's what it sounds like to me. Ocho, we just got... This is what she's saying. Here's her story. We just got married yesterday and we spent 60 K on our wedding with our guest count of 270. We worked our butt off and push so many bills, rent, et cetera,
Starting point is 00:08:13 only taking out a loan of 4,000 from my mom and demanding it back. By the end of the month, we received 3000 in cash checks, total and cards only. We're like freaking out, really devastated because we thought we'd get at least $10,000. The lowest card amount was $10. Has this happened to anyone else?
Starting point is 00:08:32 How do you move past this? It's really eating at both of us. Our lives just really disappointed about it. We were supposed to leave Monday for our honeymoon, but we canceled it instantly after opening everything. We literally couldn't buy a plane ticket. You're supposed to have already got that.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Okay, let me finish, JoJo. We couldn't buy a plane ticket, and we're going to buy them this morning because we booked the hotel for free with points. Hey, do me a favor, man. Help me understand that. What is the average cost of us regular folks? Not you. I think the average cost of us regular folks? Not you.
Starting point is 00:09:05 I think the average cost of a wedding is about $50,000. It's about $30,000 to $50,000. In this economy, what are you talking about? People can't afford that? Clearly. The average cost of a wedding is $35,000. Okay, that makes a little bit more sense.
Starting point is 00:09:24 So, I mean, when you think about it, if you really can't afford to have a wedding, why? I think people today are more caught up with the aesthetics.
Starting point is 00:09:33 I agree. The aesthetics of it and the look and just saying, oh, I got married. Not what marriage actually entails. You know?
Starting point is 00:09:42 Yeah. And $35,000, $40,000, $50,000. But who gets married who gets married ocho right and plans a wedding right gonna go through it with the hopes of recouping their money from gifts from family and friends i ain't buying no damn house and hope i win the lottery to pay for it i should already have that lined up how i'm going to pay for the home I like that, that sounds good, I like that I like that, I like that
Starting point is 00:10:07 they playing around, they couldn't afford that they couldn't afford that that's their fault that's their fault you got to stay within your budget too people in the chat, yo, listen to me, yo, we got to learn to act our wage
Starting point is 00:10:23 we need to learn to act our wage. We need to learn to act our wage. Many of us are living way above our means. And any little money we get, we trying to look a certain way, trying to dress a certain way, and just trying to cater to people that don't even care about us to live this way.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Yes. And look a certain way. I mean, it's just... The wedding is for the guests. Yeah. I ain't trying to impress y'all. Baby, we good? Yeah, you good?

Starting point is 00:25:19 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

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.

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.
Starting point is 00:28:16 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. Dwayne Rod Johnson is coming clean about some recent reports of his behavior on the set. The report alleges he pees in a bottle to save time. Yeah, that happens, he told GQ, referring to how he sometimes relieves himself at work. Ocho, have you ever had an emergency bathroom situation and had to pee in a bottle?
Starting point is 00:29:01 Huh. There's footage of me peeing on the sideline on all my highlights. I just forget. Cedric Benson is sitting on one side of me. Reggie Kelly, who was a tight end at the time, sitting on the right side of me. Hey, y'all, close in. Let me use the bathroom real quick. On the middle of the
Starting point is 00:29:17 field, in the middle of the game, so I didn't have to run to the locker room. I am not missing time. We normally go on the sideline. We go in a plastic bag.

Starting point is 00:30:00 Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes you got to do number three. You got to do one and two. So you definitely got to go inside for that. But oh yeah, for sure. Most,
Starting point is 00:30:07 I mean, you'd be surprised how many times guys go to the bathroom on the sidelines. Formula one, that teller, he both decided he could do an Ironman at home during his off week, 11 hours, 7,000 calories burned. He did swim portion in his pool and then use the Peloton,

Starting point is 00:33:17 I appreciate you. Hey, let me ask you a question in all seriousness. You know, I love a challenge. I love challenging everyone from whatever respective craft that they've done. though they succeeded your accolades your resume it speaks volumes for what you've done when you played in the nba but you really think you could beat me one-on-one in basketball yeah nigga basketball you really i'm just i'm just saying I'm really like that so if at any point
Starting point is 00:33:47 first of all you don't weigh enough that's the first thing I'm 240 what you talking about I don't weigh enough yes I'm 240 you don't weigh enough thank you so what you telling me is you could be able to play one on one
Starting point is 00:34:04 I would destroy you put some money up Thank you. So what you're telling me is you could be able to play one-on-one? I would destroy you. Put some money up. I'm not putting no money up. I'm just telling you I would destroy you on the court. You don't have a chance. Just like if I played you in football, I don't have a chance guarding you on no route. You can't.
Starting point is 00:34:19 You don't have no chance to guard me. But I'm just saying I could come off the bench for any team right now as a six-man. That's what I'm trying to tell you. You can't. You can't. I love you love you though but you can't Dwight tell our fans where they can find your podcast Dwight have a little podcast I have my own podcast it's called Above the Rim
Starting point is 00:34:38 the greatest podcast ever we hear no evil see no evil and speak no evil only thing we want to do on this show is spread positivity and love and give people an outlet, a chance to speak their truth and speak on their life and whatever they've been going through and just have a good
Starting point is 00:34:53 time. We've been doing this show for a couple months now and it's been booming. Well, thank you. Let's get to some hoops. Dwight, the Bucs. What's your panic meter for the Bucs, the Sixers, and the Knicks? Who should we be more panicked about? Well, we should have been panicked
Starting point is 00:35:11 about the Sixers when the season started when Joel said he was not going to play back-to-backs. That's when we should have hit the panic button. They should have hit the panic button when they got Paul George. What are they getting Paul George for? It just don't make sense.
Starting point is 00:35:28 So I think they already did. Minnesota, they should have stayed over there in Portland. Or they should have went somewhere else. He wanted to come to Miami. I don't know if it's purposely. I would think after
Starting point is 00:35:44 he gave you the years of service there and they didn't get it done, I would think you would want to send them somewhere we wanted to play. I mean, they shouldn't have got them. That ain't how the business works. That ain't how the business works. They're not going to send you where you want to play. They're going to send where they're going to get the best options for what they want. It ain't going to be about you at that point.
Starting point is 00:36:01 You trying to get up out of there. They ain't thinking about you. They trying to think about what they can get in return. So I get it, but I just don't know about Milwaukee and Giannis and Damien. I don't know. Maybe they need to switch up how they're playing. Maybe they might need another center. I know one.
Starting point is 00:36:18 He in L.A. dancing right now. Are you surprised that the Bucs and the Knicks are struggling as much as they are? I am. I thought the big bodega was going to come out here and start serving us food. He ain't doing nothing right now.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Knicks ain't up for it right now. They might need to add Ocho. I got like 357 jobs right now, man. I can't do nothing right now. They might need to add Ocho. I can't. I got like 357 jobs right now, man. I can't do nothing right now with them. Well, you might get help with him.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Dwight, check this out for a stat. Per Tim Bontemp, Cat has allowed opponents to shoot 32 of 35, which is 91.4% in the restricted area this season. He got to change his name. Cat ain't working.
Starting point is 00:37:10 What do you want to be called? Carl Anthony? Hey, come on, man. I thought it was Gobert, but come on, Cat. Come on, Cat. Come on, Cat. He got to get right. I know it's early. I know it's a lot of expectations on him.
Starting point is 00:37:25 But New York is the center, too. And I know one. You be dancing with the stars right now. So tell us about that experience, Dwight. Tell us about the dancing with the stars. How did that come about? Well, I've been trying to do it for the last three years. And this year I had an opportunity to actually,
Starting point is 00:37:46 I didn't have basketball going on. And I had an opportunity. I hit up Dina Katz, who's the talent coordinator for the Goats. You know Dina? Yeah. She the GOAT. She the GOAT. But I hit her up.
Starting point is 00:38:00 And she said she's going to try to do her best to get me on the season. And I'm glad she did, man. It's the best decision I made, you know, to come on the show. It's really helped me with so many things and not just my weight, not just being in shape, my mental, you know, having a partner, you know, in the dance floor is similar to how you got to have a partner in real life, you know, how you got to move through life. So it's really helping me in a lot of areas that, you know, maybe before I wasn't as best in like
Starting point is 00:38:31 communication and stuff like that. But having this like one-on-one with your dance partner every single day, we go on eight, nine hours a day, every day, like this is every day. So, you know, I'm learning so much so fast. And it's the best thing that's happened, man. Is it more difficult than you thought it would be? It is, but it's difficult because we're really dancing eight, nine hours a day. Like, how could you dance that much? And ain't that much music seem like sometimes to be dancing to.
Starting point is 00:39:02 But we be dancing all day, and it's really got me in shape. Like, I'm in basketball shape, but I haven't run no sprints. I haven't done no – well, I've been doing a lot of jumping. She had me jump over her almost every day just to get my legs and everything moving. So it's pretty good. Oh, yeah. OKC's Chet Holmgren has a pelvic fracture.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Ouch. My only concern with him, Dwight, is that his height, and he was so thin. And when you're a shot blocker, you know you're going to hit the, you know, you're going to hit the court a lot. He got to gain some weight. Is it possible? Do you think he can gain some weight? He got to lay off the gas, man. Oh, Lord have mercy. No, I'm just kidding. Yeah, he can yeah he can gaze away it's gonna take him a minute
Starting point is 00:39:48 this is what third third year in the league it's gonna take some time but I think I don't think it's the weight that he gotta he gotta worry about it's how he's falling like sometimes you gotta learn how to fall just as you're going up to block a shot or you gotta have your body
Starting point is 00:40:04 stroking up to where you being the one that make the other people fall. So, I think another team that need a big, that need a big. I ain't got no hip fractures. My hips actually loose as hell from doing all this dancing.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Okay, see. So, Dwight, you mentioned you wanted the Lakers. You're like, Lakers, you need a big AD. You're better at the four. I can come in and give you 15, 20 minutes a night if needed. You talk about the Sixers. You say the Knicks.
Starting point is 00:40:35 How many more seasons would you like to play? I think you're what, at 17, 18? I'm at 18. Okay. Would you like to get one or two? You like to try to get that nice 20. 20 got a nice ring to it. 20 would be amazing.
Starting point is 00:40:49 That's how long I want to play. That was my dream when I first started. My goal was to play 20 years. Longevity is something that people don't even really talk about with a lot of athletes like they should. You know, it's a lot of players that don't play for a long time. And it takes a lot. It takes a lot of athletes like they should. You know, it's a lot of players that have played for a long time and it takes a lot. It takes a lot of discipline, sacrifice to play as long as
Starting point is 00:41:10 you know, I've been playing and guys like Brian, KD, 17, 18 years is a lot, man. So I still got a couple more years in the tank and I think from doing the Dancing with the Stars, it really done boosted that, you know, for me because I'm in great shape
Starting point is 00:41:26 and I feel real good. So if a team need a big, count me in. Dwight, what is the one thing? Because look, we've had a lot of conversations and I've told you this personally that I believe you should have been on the 75th anniversary team. What
Starting point is 00:41:43 is it that the media gets wrong about Dwight Howard? What is it? Because they voted on this. You know who voted on this for real? It ain't got nothing to do with the real media. You know the people that voted on this. I think the whole voting thing was not right from the beginning. Who voted on it? Okay, Giannis was the person that voted.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Players. Giannis was a part of the list. Shaq. Who else? It's a lot of people that I don't think should have been voting for these top 75. That should be on there. First of all, no offense to none of those players that are on there. I think everyone is a great player,
Starting point is 00:42:27 but I really think it's disrespectful that I was not on that list, you know, and I've, you know, played about not being upset and not, you know, but I feel like it's real disrespectful, you know, so, you know, I would, if I had that opportunity, you know, want to come back and put some respect on my name in that manner. Because I'm looking at it, Dwight, you're an eight-time All-Star, a two-time block champ, eight-time All-NBA, five-time All-Defensive, you're a five-time rebounding champ, 2020 champion,
Starting point is 00:42:58 All-Rookie team, three-time Defensive Player of the Year. A dog. And you were the de facto number one. You got a team to the championship. Some of these guys didn't take a team to the championship. You took a team to the championship and you were the best player. I think one year you finished
Starting point is 00:43:16 second in the MVP voting, but you were perennial a top five in your prime, your first seven, eight years in the league before you started having back issues, you were thought of as many at the top. I think that too. I think people just keep using that stuff as an excuse to try to
Starting point is 00:43:31 say, I didn't play good and stuff like that. He got hurt, so this happened. I had back issues, came to the Lakers and at the end of the season, I was 22 and 14 with back issues, with a torn label and still played the whole season with
Starting point is 00:43:48 that. I think it was just how the story was conveyed to everyone else. Oh, Dwight ain't taking the game serious because look, he's smiling on the court. Oh, Dwight ain't serious because Kobe playing like this and this how he playing. So he ain't trying to be like Kobe or none of the greats.
Starting point is 00:44:04 That's what they putting in people's minds. And so people looking at that stuff and they going off that, then how can you be an eight-time or nine-time All-Star, three-time defensive player of the year, all those accolades and not take the game seriously?
Starting point is 00:44:19 It doesn't make sense. But if people hear the story over and over and over again, they're more apt to believe a lie than the truth you know what I'm saying and I ain't the person that's gonna get out there and be like man I did this I did that I deserve that the truth always gonna outlast
Starting point is 00:44:34 a lie so I know what I done did on the floor I probably didn't get the respect and all that the past couple years but it's coming I like it is there anything Dwightight, you wish, if there's anything, if there's one thing or a couple of things you wish you could
Starting point is 00:44:50 change about your career thus far, what would you do? What are some of the things you would do over, Dwight? I probably, with the situation with Orlando, I probably would have, you know, spoke out on it a little bit more instead of just being quiet about it, just trying to, again, allow other people to speak
Starting point is 00:45:05 for me you know what I'm saying and you know the situation in Orlando oh he wanted to leave to go to a bigger team that had nothing to do with why I wanted to leave Orlando you know what I'm saying and they made it seem like it was about the fans I wanted to leave because the fans
Starting point is 00:45:20 no I did my time there we had some you know I felt like i wanted to go someone else and play and that's what i did you know and it just turned into a big it just turned into something that it shouldn't have been and you know i ain't like that and i should have stood up myself stood up for myself back then instead of just letting the media and people just say whatever they had to say and go with that little narrative.
Starting point is 00:45:50 The Cavs are 12-0. How serious should we take the Cavs, Dwight? That's a good question. A lot of teams start off hot, but 12-0 is tough. Who the coach is he? That's a good question. Because a lot of teams start off hot, but 12-0 is tough. Yes. Who the coach is he?
Starting point is 00:46:09 I'm trying to think. Who the coach for the Cavs? You know, they got Mitchell. They got Garland. They got… They got scorers. Yeah, they got Jared Allen. They got defenders.
Starting point is 00:46:19 Kenny Atkinson. Kenny Atkinson. Okay. You got to watch out for them they got a good team I like the bigs I like the nucleus that they have Darius Garland is like a mini Kyrie
Starting point is 00:46:31 he ain't Kyrie but if Kyrie had a little brother that watched him play his whole life and tried to be like him that's Garland and Mitch ain't gotta score 50 a night now he He got other guys that can score and stuff like that. So, they legit.
Starting point is 00:46:51 What do you think the Lakers ceiling is? AD went out with an eye injury. He got hit in the eye again. I think Dwight, honestly, I think he's going to have to put the goggles on like Kareem and James. Yeah. Man, I think he's going to have to put the goggles on, goggles on like Kareem and James. Yeah. Man, I think he just got to, he got to switch his whole, his energy.
Starting point is 00:47:10 He got to change. He got to bring that, you know, like star short. Like he got it. You know, AD got it. You know, it's like sometimes he bring that AD, that championship AD, and then sometimes it's just the regular Anthony Davis. When he playing, when he on point,
Starting point is 00:47:29 he's unstoppable. And the rest of the team flow after that. You know what I'm saying? He's been unstoppable this year. This is the best I've seen him play. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. When he's at this pace all year, nobody can stop the Lakers. He's got to be, I think, the number one.
Starting point is 00:47:47 I think he got to be number one. Would you recommend he got hit in the eye? He went to block the shot. He blocked the shot by Yaka Portal. And he got hit in the eye. And I think this is the third time that he got hit in the eye. And he's made it known
Starting point is 00:48:00 he doesn't like wearing the goggles. He said it bothers him. I understand him not wanting to wear the goggles. He got to at least don't let nobody come and duck, put them on the ground one time. Ain't nobody coming in there and hitting him in the face no more. He just probably got to change up a little bit of that. But other than that, put the goggles on,
Starting point is 00:48:18 be Kareem for a couple games, hit a couple hook shots. Get to work. Come on, AD. We need you. What do you think the Lakers ceiling is this year? Well, they can get, what's the boy from Japan
Starting point is 00:48:32 to Konnichiwa? What's his name? Rui. Rui. Oh, Rui Hachimura. Yeah, Hachimura got a Hachimura. Come on. He got a, hey. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:46 I like the move, put D-Lo on the bench, have him come off the bench, give them some points off the bench because their bench was horrible, Dwight. They were averaging like, they were like almost last to next to last in bench production. Who's coming off the bench for the Lakers?
Starting point is 00:49:01 Who was the 6, 7, 8 man? Well, they had Cam Reddish. Cam is in the starting lineup now. They had Max Christie. They had Don Connect. They need a dog. They need another dog. What you think, Ocho?
Starting point is 00:49:21 Ocho in the bathroom right now. They need a dog, not Ocho. Ocho but they need a dog not Ocho Ocho they need a dog though who need a dog? the Lakers need a dog man oh yeah Dwight they got Jackson Hayes
Starting point is 00:49:36 coming up they got Jackson Hayes they got Sam they got Gabe Benson he's an awesome player I love him but I'm talking about somebody that's going to bring some force, like some fear. So when people coming down the lane, they ain't coming down the lane, they stopping to shoot jump shots
Starting point is 00:49:52 or just some energy. I'm watching the games. I need more energy out of the bench. I need them up. I need them going. So yeah, Jackson going, he got to be a dog. He playing that five for AD. so if he gonna be that player he gotta go give me some
Starting point is 00:50:08 more blocks he gotta get mean I like it I seen him do it I ain't gonna even make no jokes I seen him do it I know he can get mean out there Victor Wiminyama produced his 12th career 30 point game in his first one of the season
Starting point is 00:50:24 what's his feeling his first 30 point game of the season. What's his ceiling? His first 30-point game of the season. He has 12 of them now. What's his ceiling? How good can Wimmy be? As good as his height, hell. Hey, for real. Now, Wimmy, the thing is, he's 7'5".
Starting point is 00:50:42 He can do everything. What I need him to do though is get to the basket more. He need to put everybody in the basket. He's 7'5". It don't need to be no punk faking in the paint. Who going to block his shot but God? For real. If he get in the paint,
Starting point is 00:50:58 what is he doing? He should put everybody in the basket. That's going to send a message to the league. Don't play with Wendy. Put them in the basket. Send them home. Dunk on everybody. Break somebody's face. Dunk him. Chris Paul, let me run somebody over real quick. Go into the basket to dunk. I bet nobody else
Starting point is 00:51:14 will get up under there again. Wendy got to put some fear on some people. I know it's his third year, but it's time. He got a high ceiling, man. He got a chance to be one of the ones. RJ Barrett recognizes Jamie Anester at the Game of Thrones in the crowd.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Dwight, have you ever been playing and recognized somebody like, damn, you at the game? You watching? Yeah, a lot of people didn't say I started acting like him. We got a ref that look like Gucci, man, so I'll always be messing with him. James Williams, I think that's his name. a ref that look like Gucci, man. So I'll always be messing with him. James Williams, I think that's his name.
Starting point is 00:51:47 The ref that look like Gucci? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But no, at the games, man, I done seen so... I remember Tashina Arnold. I was a big fan of watching Mark. And I remember watching... Yeah, watching Pam at the game.
Starting point is 00:52:01 I said, yo, Pam is at the game. Yeah, so that at the game? I said, yo, Pam is at the game. Yeah, so that was probably right. This summer you announced you became part owner of a Taiwanese basketball league as well as one of his teams. What's the experience like playing overseas? It's really one of the most amazing experiences that I've had playing basketball. These fans don't get an opportunity to see us live and in action.
Starting point is 00:52:28 In America, the fans are blessed to be able to go to these games. When you go overseas, my first game overseas, we sold out this arena that had never been sold out until Michael Jackson came. Wow.
Starting point is 00:52:44 My first season there, every game we had, they're sold out, 18,000 plus. Just coming to the games, they don't care if I score one point. They don't care about none of the points.
Starting point is 00:52:55 What they care about is the fact that I'm out there having a good time smiling and putting smiles on their faces because they got, they done seen me do the Superman dunk and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:53:05 But just to be there in person, just to see all of us there in person, it's better than anything they could imagine because they never see that. So they would spend, they like,
Starting point is 00:53:14 we got 90-year-olds coming to the games. Like, I'm probably the most photographed person in Taiwan. I done took a picture with everybody. Wow. You know, it's fun, man. It just gives
Starting point is 00:53:26 you wings. It makes you, it humbles you. It lets you see a whole other side of the world, the culture, the love that they exude, you know, how they live their life, you know, all those good things. And that's why I really love to travel. We started this league for that. So people in America, people in
Starting point is 00:53:41 different countries get a chance to go play overseas. They don't make it to the NBA. Guess what? It ain't the end-all, be-all. There's still leagues out there. There's still people out there who will be your fans, who will enjoy you. Just come hoop. DeMarcus came. We get more players. The tallest
Starting point is 00:53:58 player in our league is taller than Wimby. He's 7'7". Wow. Guess where he from? Build-A-Nigga. Have you ever heard of that place? No. Yeah, me neither, but they got a place called Build-A-Nigga.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Where he from? He's 7'7". He's the tallest player that's playing basketball right now. He's from Malta actually. He's from Malta, Italy. We plan on doing an episode of our podcast there to kind of highlight his life. This dude was seven foot five, 13 years old. Damn. Wow.

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

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,

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,
Starting point is 00:57:24 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. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Your hands can't hit what your eyes can't see. Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part audible original. Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy
Starting point is 00:58:06 through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best. 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.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible. The guy from the Game of Thrones is Jamie Lannister. I know Jamie. It was misspelled. That's one of my favorite shows. Have you seen Game of Thrones? I have not, Dwight. I have not. Come on, man.

The Old Testament. They don't say that in the doggone book of Job. Job ain't throwing nothing in Mass to come back.
Starting point is 01:04:24 Yeah, he did. I promise you. D. Talley said we was talking about a couple, Dwight, that they're not going to go on their honeymoon. They spent $60,000 on the wedding. They were expecting to get gifts from family, friends, and loved ones as far as monetary.
Starting point is 01:04:40 But they only got $3,000 so they had to cancel their honeymoon because they didn't have enough money to book the tickets to fly to wherever they were going. So this couple said they could have spent that $60,000 on the honeymoon and flew around the world. Yeah, and they shouldn't even did all that. They could have went to the courthouse. They had one of them judges do that. Take the $60,000 and go on a trip.
Starting point is 01:05:01 Now they tripping. They ain't got no money. Start a GoFundMe account or make OnlyFans get y'all wet money. No, I'm just talking. First of all, who the hell you think gonna give y'all money in a GoFundMe account so y'all can go on a damn honeymoon?
Starting point is 01:05:15 Well, who they thought was gonna bring gifts to the wedding? That was their fault. I agree, but you know, they were thinking that, you know, oh, they're gonna come in here, they're gonna see this, and they're gonna give us $1,000 or $500. They say somebody gave them $10, Dwight. Good, because that's what they should have gave them. Why you going to go to a Yolanda and thank the people for the brand y'all gives?
Starting point is 01:05:34 For the break you off. Exactly. Stupid. They deserve not to have no honeymoon. They don't even need a nightcap. They need to go to sleep.

Starting point is 01:07:17 So, here we go with that. Jamie said, Dwight Ocho, which current player, players reminds you most of yourself on and off the field? In your case, Dwight, the court. That's a good question. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:07:35 I don't know what they be doing off the court. I mean, I don't look both. That's an old joke question. He got 365 jobs. Yeah, for me, in the NFL, nobody is quite as flamboyant or boisterous or in your face. But my NBA comparison would probably be Anthony Edwards. I can see that. Y'all kind of looking like two.
Starting point is 01:08:07 You kind of look like KG right now, mixed with Anthony Edwards. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the tight ends don't really talk no smack. They don't really talk like I did, Ocho.
