This is the struggle.
Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company,
the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi.
We dive into the competitive world of streaming.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
There are so many stories out
there. And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
In the fall of 1986,
Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane,
I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Chad, look, I'm not, look, I mean, two wrongs don't make a right.
They don't make a left either.
But why would that, look, you saying that to that man's wife?
Man.
Bro, you got to be careful, bro.
I don't know, you put yourself in a precarious situation.
Hey, what you put your hair in there, lard?
What you flying, fish?
Damn.
Hey.
Oh, Ocho.
What's up?
I guess he had, Ocho, it said it was footage from a front door cam, not inside.
Oh, the ring, the ring. What you call that thing ring I guess that's what it is I don't know I would be speculating
But they said it was footage from a front door cam
But even still
You can't take your ring camera
And use it as
That's an invasion of privacy
That too and to use it to extort
To do it because he didn't want to pay the 960
Oh yeah
Oh he gonna get that Oh I hope he have more than one property and the user to extort the dude because he didn't want to pay the $960. Oh, yeah. You can't do that.
Oh, they're going to pay him up.
Oh, he's going to get that.
Oh, I hope he has more than one property.
I hope he has like three or four properties.
And I got to get them all.
You're going to get all of them?
All of them.
Damn, aren't you greedy?
You can just take one.
You don't need all of them.
Man, I forget the state it was,
but a woman had won the lottery.
Right.
She didn't tell her husband and she divorced it because she didn't want to give him half.
You could do that.
No.
The husband found out they went.
The judge made her give it all to it.
What?
That's why. Hey, man, look,
you and I done been through a situation
with that child support and they asked for discovery.
There you go.
Hey, this is what I make.
This is how much I got saved.
This is what I got stocks and bonds.
This is what I have such as, no, sir.
Hey, your honor,
this is what we discovered, Mr. Sharp.
Held back $3 million. Oh, no. Oh, no. your number eight your number eight your honor this is what we discovered mr sharp uh held back
three million dollars oh no oh no man they light your butt up hey listen i that's that's that's one
of the reasons i'm i'm thankful i'm thankful for those that i have kids from i ain't really have
to deal with that what i did is i i was able to do child support on my own terms because obviously I was one that
took care of my kids, but none of them, there was no ill intent. And I think one of the things that
I've always did, and I think they made life so easy, not easy, but they made life so much more
smoother. And I think it's very important, very imperative that you have kids from those, or you're choosing wisely because they can make your life a living hell.
Yeah, but Ojo, you know what the thing is.
They can make your life a living hell.
And just throughout the entirety of my adolescent, even here, even now as an adult,, those that I have kids from have been a huge blessing,
a huge blessing, you know,
through my ups, through my downs.
Now, back in my ups,
everybody's been very supportive.
And I probably wouldn't able to...
I probably wouldn't have been able
to get back to where I am now
without their help.
So, it's...
Just hearing that story
and what you said about the discover and
all that stuff fellas have to go
through.
That sucks.
I think, Ocho, but for me
you say that
but you never
know. When people get angry
Yeah.
Man,
it's been a situation. Man, there been a situation.
Mm-hmm.
Man, he's like, man, you know, me and my wife, me and my old lady gonna split.
Right.
When she cool.
I said, bro.
Mm-hmm.
I called a light fire.
Right.
He said, man, why you calling that?
I said, because you gonna light fire to your ass.
Yeah. People get angry. Right. He said, man, why you calling that? I said, because you're going to light fire to your ass.
Yeah.
People get angry because they feel like,
well,
he's not going to be with me.
That means he's going to be with somebody else.
And that means that somebody else might be getting more
than I'm going to get.
And so now, all of a sudden...
See, but again, look at the
type of person
you're having a child with.
Ocho, you never...
What does that tell you it's about?
When people get married.
What does that tell you it's about?
When people get married.
So you think people get married
so you don't think, huh?
Listen to what you just said.
Yes.
The woman is worried about,
oh, this person gonna get more
than what I'm getting.
Ocho, that's...
You already dealing with. You're already
dealing with the wrong kind from the beginning, from the jump.
So let me ask you a question. So there's
a reason why you get a prenup.
Why would you get a prenup if you married this woman?
Because you believe that
woman's going to be with you for the rest of your life, right?
So if it doesn't, I buy
insurance not to go run my car
into somebody, to T-bone somebody
just in case. But but yo you don't
know when people get upset when you get upset hey you would like to think what you would or wouldn't
do but you don't know until you're in that situation yeah right right right right right
well i'm i'm only speaking i'm only speaking from what i just said based on experience you
gotta remember all my all my kids grown so we've had the arguments. We've had the issues, the disagreements, the getting mad and me not being with you and I'm with somebody else.
And then me not being with that when I'm with somebody else.
But it was never.
But you said they didn't get mad about that.
Huh?
You said they didn't get mad about that.
You just said.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
So when you left one to be with the other, nobody got mad.
Everybody was like okay Chad go ahead
I'm happy for you
Well obviously there are disagreements
But not to the point where hell
I gotta make sure I'm getting more
No it wasn't that
No
Your example was I gotta make sure
She ain't getting more than me
We ain't had to deal with that
We ain't had to deal with that bullshit
My thing was I was gonna keep the kids Equal anyway because I didn't love of me. No, no, no, no. We ain't had to deal with that. We ain't had to deal with that bullshit. No. No, sir. But my thing
was I was going to keep the kids equal anyway
because I didn't love any kid more
than I love the other. All of my kids.
Regardless of the circumstance
in which they were conceived,
they're mine. Right.
And I'm going to do, you know,
one get a birthday
party, all three, all the
others going to get a birthday party, spend the same. of them, all the others going to get a birthday party,
spend the same.
It might be a different thing,
the same.
Everybody go to,
one go to private school,
everybody go to private school.
Now, if you choose
not to send them
to the private school,
that's on you.
Right.
But no,
I didn't,
I mean,
I know I would have felt
some type of way.
I mean, think about it.
21 Savage was told a story of how he felt his dad treated one of his brothers better than he treated him.
That he would take his brother to buy stuff.
He later grew up to resent the dad and the brother.
And that's what happens.
And that's natural.
That is natural.
You do for a child, a child,
more for one child,
and that child see it.
That child will resent the child
that's getting everything.
And it's not the child's fault.
That's just human nature.
I do fall the best I can.
I do fall.
Matter of fact,
to the point where
it's almost spoiling.
Oh yeah, for sure sure Over overdue spoiling
I don't
I'm trying to think of the last time
And I'm glad we on this topic
And I know we have a lot of parents in the chat
Everybody's situation is different
I'm trying to think of the last time
I even said no
It would have to be something outrageous
For me to actually say no.
Like I told you, come Christmas time,
I don't know if you remember
the Christmas list my kids had.
It was crazy.
Crazy.
They got every last motherfucking thing on them
because they don't ask me for anything
throughout the remainder,
throughout the year
that is that like,
that's the outlandish
or like crazy purchases
where it's like extremely expensive.
So come Christmas time,
I don't care what,
you're going to put a goddamn giraffe
on your goddamn Christmas list.
I'm going to find a way
to get your ass a giraffe.
Yeah, but you better make sure
you can feed it.
Yeah.
I ain't going to feed that greedy mofo.
Yeah.
But throughout the year,
you guys live a normal life.
You live a normal,
and you don't ask nothing out the blue that you know, like, come on now.
Why even ask me that?
For me to even question it,
and you know I'm going to say no.
Yeah, I think that's how it is, Ocho.
For the most part,
I know if they come to me
and ask me for something,
I'm like, okay.
Because they already know.
I'm last option,
not first choice.
Yeah.
So I said,
so now I'm going to find out,
okay, so what happened?
Well, dad, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.
I said, okay,
so what did we learn from this?
So this is not going to be
a reoccurring theme, right?
Right.
No, dad, okay. Let's make sure are we we clear i mean okay are we crystal clear
yeah dad no are we abundantly clear you know i'm saying don't you i'm going through all the clear
i'm going through all the scenarios i want to be crystal and i want to be abundantly clear
but this is not going to happen again now.
I can honestly say they haven't put themselves in the same
situation twice.
But like
I said, hey, I sent you to
school. Your mom
did a great job of teaching you right from wrong
when you came. I know damn well I taught you
right from wrong because I ain't played.
And so you know right from wrong.
That's all you can do, Ocho.
You try to instill whatever you can in your children
and then when they get out on their own,
hopefully you've done enough
and it triggers like, okay,
this is wrong.
And so I always go back
to my grandfather.
When he told me and my brother, he said, I don't care what you become
in life, you just never have to look at and my brother, he said, I don't care what you become in life.
Just never have to look at me and your grandma and say,
I'm sorry.
That's it.
So every time I think about doing something that might cause,
you know,
granted was like,
I couldn't look,
I couldn't look at my granddad and say, I'm sorry.
Right.
So,
and you know,
they work.
My,
my kids work.
My son works hard.
He has a wife and a kid.
I told him that's what comes along with the territory. A lot of times I like, I call, he already, they work. My kids work. My son works hard. He has a wife and a kid. I told him that's what comes along with the territory.
A lot of times, like, I call, he already in the bed asleep.
But that's the responsibility of having a man, of being a man and having a family.
My daughters, she's in med school.
I mean, you know, hey, I call a lot of times.
My calls are, hey, Dad, I'm sorry.
I'm studying.
I'm doing this.
You know, I was in rotation.
I'm on call for the next, you know, 48 hours, blah, blah, blah.
Okay.
My oldest, it is what it is.
But you got responsibility.
I don't like lazy.
I don't like, I despise, I detest lazy.
And I told my kids the exact same thing what my grandfather told my brother and I.
He says, I don't care what you do.
You just can't do it here. Right. You ain't got to do nothing. He says, I don't care what you do. You just can't do it here.
Right.
You ain't got to do nothing.
He said,
you ain't got to do nothing,
but you can't do it here.
But I have a question.
If your kids,
if you were to say that
and you tell your kids
that you don't have to do nothing,
you despise being lazy,
but do you,
what if they come to you?
They can't get SHIT out of Shannon.
They know that.
They can't get SHIT out of Shannon.
Not if you lazy. Oh, no.
I despise. I detest it.
You serious?
As hard as I work.
Right.
I told you.
I only got room for one lazy sharp.
I'm in.
Kayla, Kaylee,
and Kiari ain't no way in hell you could be
lazy.
You gotta be doing something.
Don't play that Ocho, man.
Boy, you a tough dad, boy.
Shit.
I work my ass off Private school
College
They didn't have to pay a dime
And I gave them tuition
And I bought them cars
Right
There ain't no excuse
No excuse
Right
For you to be lazy
Zero, zilch, none
And they know it
They know what I expect from them
I demand it.
I like that.
I like that.
That's dope.
Hey,
you can change jobs.
I don't care.
Hey, you're not happy?
Find another one.
Right.
But you don't quit that one
until you find another one.
Right.
Because I ain't
I ain't finna take care of you. You grown.
When you say grown,
what age is grown?
When do you stop being...
When they told me they can go and come if they please?
Ain't nobody
ever told you that, man.
Yeah.
No, they don't.
Once my kids went to college, my daughter stayed with me her freshman year.
And then, you know, I just told her, I say, you know, look, you coming in, this ain't gonna work.
I know you're coming in late.
I know you've grown.
Right.
You've grown.
I know you've grown.
You can't come in here like that.
I couldn't come in my grandma's house like that. You can't come in mine like that. I couldn't come in my grandma's house like that.
You can't come in mine.
Damn.
Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
You ain't come to my house like that, though, Joe.
Right.
But she respect.
It was late.
For the most part.
Yeah.
My kids really never like that, like that hang out, hang out tight.
Not that I know of.
Right.
Now what they did in college,
they in college,
they suppose they had to let their hair down.
Right,
right,
right.
You got,
you got to enjoy yourself.
Yeah.
And I made sure my kids,
like my,
uh,
my older two went to the same college,
but I made sure they had their own place.
It's like, well, no, dad, I can listen. No, you can't.
I say, you're a male, you're a female.
You don't need to see who he bringing in and he don't
need to see who you bringing in. Because that's your brother.
He ain't going to be going for that.
You're a college kid.
You're a college female.
You're going to have guys.
Keep your business private.
But I'm also telling them, hey, watch. Keep your business private. Right.
But I'm also telling me,
watch out for your sister now.
He's very protective of his sisters.
Right.
Whistling and stuff.
Hey, bro, that's my sister.
Don't disrespect my sister like that.
Like, okay, damn.
Okay.
That's how you feel about your sister?
Yeah.
Oh, you feel some type of way by the sisters.
But no, I just think, like I said, I just, you know, I expect my kids to be, you know, be respectful.
And that's all I ask is they just, hey, talk to your mom like you would talk to me.
If you wouldn't say that, you know, you're not going to talk to me any kind of way.
Don't talk to your mom like that. Right. Yeah.
So their mom never had to say he had really called me once they got of it, once they got sides, you know, they mom never had to say, had to really call me once they got, once they got sides,
you know,
they grown.
Like I said,
they got 18,
they got 21,
even 25 to this day.
Yeah.
No issues.
They already know.
They mom called me and said,
well,
such a,
oh no,
they got hell to pay.
Right.
I'm on a plane,
I'm coming.
I'm going to be,
hey,
I'm going to be wherever,
wherever they are,
I'm coming.
Quick. Now, I don't rent a private jet often but if they mom say
something happen they talk this or that
I'm on a private jet I'm coming
I'll be there in five hours
yeah see
my older
my older kids
they mama
Nathaniel don't play that
Nathaniel listen you know how we grew up
now for sure you know how we grew up yeah so you already you already know what they mama's
hitting on now we ain't playing we straight out the city ain't none of that talk back to who
in who house but for the even though you even listen even though you grown that talk back to who? In who house? Even though you, even, listen, even though you grown now,
talk back to who?
Shit.
Nah.
And I think they've done
such a good job.
Yeah.
I don't think they would.
I don't think they would.
I think the girls
are at a point now,
they got their own place.
Yeah.
If they feel some type of,
they just like,
you know what,
I'm just going to go
into my place, let this thing die down for a week or two i don't think i don't think it's like you know
because you know they kind of like they got a lot of similarities in them and i can see you know
they butt they butt heads a little bit because they got a lot like you know my mom i'd like
you just like her right that's why y'all ramming it. That's why y'all
butting heads.
They can't be in the same household
now that the kids are older
for too long.
No, no. Grown people
ain't supposed to be like that. And I get it.
A large percent of
the kids
live with their parents. I think, I forgot
the stat, but it's like a huge number. Like 50, 60% of the kids live with their parents. I think I forgot the stat, but it's like a huge number,
like 50,
60% of the kids,
28 and older live at home with their parents.
And I get it.
But,
but if you live with your parents,
you got to be respectful.
You got to like,
you up under their rules.
You're like,
Oh,
I'm grown.
Well,
grown people get their own place.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
you know,
time,
time's tough now, you know,
especially in this economy. So
I think the percentage is so high because
it's so difficult for people to actually
get on their feet and maintain
a healthy lifestyle because of the
goddamn economy. Well, guess what?
The economy don't call you to be disrespectful.
You live in somebody else's house.
Keep your damn mind closed and do
what they ask you to do. They say, clean up your room, clean up your room. They ask you to take out the trash, mind closed and do what they ask you to do.
They say, clean up your room, clean up your room.
They ask you to take out the trash, take out the trash.
They ask you to pick up, pick up.
I mean, there ain't nothing in the economy.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
But it's just difficult when you're of a certain age
and you know things aren't going right in your life
and you need mom or you need daddy
and you wanna be under their roof until you can get yourself right financially.
I'm going to pay for them to get their own roof.
They can't be under my roof.
Nah.
You know, it's funny.
Sometimes parents will actually antagonize a child just because they're older and they still stand with them.
They antagonize them on purpose.
Try to get them out on show?
Yes. They antagonize them on purpose. Try to get them out on top?
Yeah, exactly.
Yes, they antagonize them on purpose and make things even worse
and cause confusion,
which is why they always like this.
Yeah.
But they can look.
I think the thing is,
and I just tell them,
I tell them,
look, your mom just want
what's best for you.
Right.
That's it.
I say at the end of the day,
I understand that you think
she nagging and she getting
on your nerves and I know you wrong. But at the end of the day, you're still your mother's it. I say at the end of the day, I understand that you think she nagging and she getting on your nerves
and I know you wrong.
But at the end of the day,
you're still your mother's daughter.
You the oldest.
Right.
And they're going to be like this
even when you 40.
It's going to be the same way.
So,
hey,
bite your lip.
Just like,
hey,
say,
okay,
mom,
I understand, but just, hey, mom i understand but just hey mom i understand but
keep it moving you all right you you okay go guess what you got your own place you got your
own car everything get back in your head just like man and just i mean when when when you cool
when you cool down, just
have the conversation with your mom. Say, Mom, I don't like
what you said to say, blah, blah, blah.
It's not that difficult. I mean, you still should be.
That's your mom. I get it. You still got to talk to her
a certain way with a certain level of respect
because the dynamic in your relationship won't ever change.
She's always going to be your mom. You're always going to be
your child.
I'm big on respect, Ocho.
I'm big. I'm big on respect, don't you? Yeah. I'm big.
I'm huge on that.
Huge.
Made for this mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise
above their struggles,
break free from the chains of trauma and silence the negative voices that have
kept them small through raw conversations,
real stories,
and actionable guidance.
You can learn to face
the mountain that is in front of you. You will never be able to change or grow through the thing
that you refuse to identify. The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain. This is
the struggle. This is the thing that's in front of me. You can't make that mountain move without
actually diving into that. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to conquer the things
that once felt impossible and step boldly into the best version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all.
So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being, and climb your personal mountain.
Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you.
It's impossible for you to love you fully if all you're doing is living to please people.
Your mountain is that. Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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's so many stories out there. And if you can find a way
to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from
our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology,
entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things
up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal
that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask Attorney General...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal
that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,
but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple
Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Oh, then we got another Daily dumbed-up, Ocho.
A homeowner's association neighbor got upset
because the guy had a pizza party
and had 50 pizzas delivered on Super Bowl Sunday.
Wait a minute.
What's wrong with it?
HOA got upset?
Yes.
He said because he put the boxes in the recycle bin.
Look.
Wait.
On top of the box, Ocho.
Is that the president
of the homeowners association
on his front porch
counting his damn pizza boxes?
Yeah.
Ocho, and what does it say
on top of the boxes?
Recycle.
So where the F do they go?
On top of the box,
it says recycle
What are you doing on my front porch
In the first place
Why are you worried about the recycle bin
That each resident gets on their own
Why are you even worried about
What I put in there
And then he gonna talk about
Oh 50 pieces
That's a lot of money
Why you care
You didn't pay for one of them
Hey listen He mad cause he didn't pay for one of them.
Hey, listen.
He mad because he didn't get invited, Ocho.
This is the problem.
When you put people in a position of power,
they tend to do one thing, abuse it.
I know we've had issues in the past.
Okay, what does that have to do with the pizza boxes,
all 50 of them, and how much I spun on them,
and the fact that on top of the pizza box,
all 50 of them,
it says recycle.
He better than me.
He better than me.
He better than me because I would have
put them in the recycle bin,
all 50 of them,
and wait on the truck
to come by to come pick them up.
Bro,
you come on my porch,
Ocho,
he come on my porch,
get in my camera
and talk about
if you don't get your monkey ass
off my porch,
look at it by camera.
Talk about,
hey,
dumb dumb,
do you see on top,
do you see on top of those boxes?
It says recycle.
Where the hell do you think they go?
What's he supposed to do?
Where is he supposed to put them?
Hey, but that's funny, man.
Man, I'm like, bro.
He going to Ocho.
See, you can already tell he got some kind of
problem because he says I know we've had
our issues in the past
yes
they stay going through it
they stay going through it
you'll get your ass off my front porch
man
I didn't mean to be playing at you but Ocho
so Ocho we call Man, I didn't mean to be playing at you, but JoJo.
So, JoJo,
we call,
so what do we call male,
what do we call male Karens?
What's their name?
Kenny's?
Ken's?
Christopher's?
Wait, male carrier?
You talking about like the male man?
Male Karens.
You know them do right,
like while you're here.
Can I see?
Oh, Karen.
Oh, Karen.
Karen's.
A male?
Yeah.
A Christopher or a Ken?
Probably Ken.
Probably Ken.
Yeah, Ken.
Ken and Karen.
Yeah, that goes right.
They always, listen, they always in somebody's business.
Everybody business.
Always in somebody's business.
Always.
Always.
That hurts me.
It doesn't happen to me often,
but sometimes when I'm doing something
that's really not bothering anybody,
someone just coming along to me and like,
hey, you know you're not supposed to be doing that.
Hey, you know you can't skateboard here.
Hey, you know you can't roller skate here.
Like, hey, you know you can't smoke your cigar here.
I mean, I know that.
Thank you.
I see the sign that says no smoking,
but I want to smoke.
Thug life. That's what it I want to smoke. Thug life.
That's what it's like, man.
Thug life.
I noticed I hadn't seen your car in a while.
Okay, what you looking for my car for?
What?
Nosy?
So I guess you were out of town.
What do I got to do with anything?
Why would I tell you where I be?
Uh-huh. Sometimes it's good to have a neighbor that's nosy like that though. Sometimes it's good
to have a nosy neighbor like that. Until something happened and then they ain't see ish. Yeah. No,
I didn't see a thing. Yeah. Man, I'm like, man, get out of my business. Yeah, but I, I, I'm glad.
I don't, you know what? When I first moved, when I first moved in my home, it was, I was the youngest guy here by probably 20 plus years.
Right.
And I was only here, I was only here six months out of the year, Ocho.
So Miss Pat was to my right.
Mr. Charles and his wife, Mary.
And then we had Leanne and her husband.
Those were really the only
ones that I had a car that I would because
when I'm off season, I'll show everybody going
to work. I'm walking the dogs and they're like
well, who's this 25,
26 year old guy? We going to work
and he walking a dog. Right.
They didn't know who I was at first.
And then all of a sudden, you know, people like
they started figuring out. Obviously, Mr. Charles
he was the first one.
He brought a cake, brought a pound cake over,
said, welcome to the neighborhood.
I saw Miss Pat in the yard.
She had kids, but, you know, I always looked out for her and Mr. Charles that was across the street.
But I really didn't have, you know,
I looked out for them to make sure.
Ain't nothing happened to their property because I was home probably more than they, just as much, if not more than they were.
Hell, I was in my 20s.
But I've never really had neighbors, even when I was in Denver and lived in an apartment.
I ain't have nobody in my business like that.
Because I never went out the front.
They never saw me because I would, you know, I had a garage attached.
So I just pulled in the garage,
let the garage down,
go in the house.
Okay, I see what you mean.
I see what you mean, yeah.
Hey, hey, you know,
hey, hey, hey, how you,
how you...
All right, close.
Right on down.
I'll say, stick your head
on there if you want to.
Man, how gone, Ocho, baby?
Oh, uh-oh, Ocho.
Ocho, you ain't gonna like this, Ocho.
Uh-oh.
The internet says the male counterpart to a Karen is a Chad.
What?
That don't make no sense.
Why would it be a Chad?
Oh, Chad.
Uh-huh. I do it. I do, I'll tell it.
All of everybody's business. Pretend like you don't know nothing. It's everybody's business.
Nah, nah. I don't like that. It ain't even Chad. It's just a kid.
I'm just going by what they're saying, so they're Chads now.
Who is they?
The Chad. The Chad is spoken.
The Chad don't know what they talk about. For one, if a Karen,
if someone is a Karen,
the opposite of Karen would be a Ken.
That's the only thing that makes sense.
You can't go from a K and then have a letter C.
It don't make no sense.
You got to have some continuity.
Ken and Karen.
Talk about a Chad.
You a hater.
No, I'm not hating,
but I'm not a nosy person. You know, I don't be in nobody's business. You a hater. No, I'm not hating, but I'm not a nosy person.
You know, I don't be in nobody's business.
You know, I told you,
the only kind of people
that be in other people's business
are people that don't have nothing going on.
I ain't got no time.
See, I see the food on my plate.
I'm not trying to see what you're eating
because I'm too busy eating mine.
I've always done that.
Too busy.
That, my man, Ocho, you know, people ask like, Shannon, what do you... No, I'm too busy eating mine. I've always... Too busy. That, my man, Ocho,
you know, people ask like,
Shannon, what do you...
No, I'm glad.
I'm glad I was born when I...
I'm glad I was born
to Mary Alice Porter
and Wynton P. Sharp.
Yeah.
And I'm glad I had
Barney and Mary Porter.
I'm glad. Because, you know, when you were a kid, you know, you you kind of your parents and your grandparents will establish the foundation for which you're probably going to govern you for the rest of your life.
And I just remember when I was a little boy, my grandma used to always say, boy, what'd I tell you about talking behind somebody?
And for the longest time, I didn't know
what that meant. She said, what she
was saying, what I told you about repeating
what somebody said.
So when you talk
behind somebody, you repeat what they said.
My grandfather said, boy, hey, don't make
me chew this food twice.
I'm like, what the hell you mean? You're supposed to chew your food about
10, 15 times, actually. He'd admit, what the hell you mean? You're supposed to chew your food probably about 10, 15 times. Actually,
he didn't mean it.
Don't make him repeat himself.
Right.
So,
I'm very big on that.
I take,
hey,
that's it.
I already told him.
But I don't,
I don't repeat what I,
okay,
we good?
Bro,
it's from between me,
you,
and God.
Yeah,
that's it.
And I,
hold on,
I was talking,
I was telling somebody, oh, and God. Yeah, that's it. And hold on. I was talking, I was telling somebody,
oh, Monique.
In the first part,
she was saying that she would tell everything.
She said one of her friends told her
that she was pregnant
and it wasn't from her boyfriend.
It was from another dude.
Monique said she went and told a dude
that it wasn't his baby.
I said, Monique, that wasn't your place.
Or me.
And look, they're with him right now.
Somebody say, hey.
Hey, can I tell you something?
My first, after you tell me, can I tell you?
Oh, so you come to me.
Hey, hey, can I tell you something?
Have you told anybody else?
Because I don't want to get out.
You talk about my uncle.
Have you told anybody else?
Right, right.
Did you kill anybody?
Did you rape anybody?
You molest a child.
Those three things.
I'm going straight.
As soon as you tell me, I'm going straight to the police station.
Right, right.
As soon as you tell me.
As a matter of fact, I say, hey, you know what? Let me run to the store. Finish your story. I'm soon as you tell me, as a matter of fact,
I said, hey, you know what?
Let me run to the store.
Finish your story.
I'm going to call you
on the phone and tell me.
I'm going to the police station
and you're telling me the story.
Right.
Now,
I got a homeboy.
He married.
Homeboy, man,
I done messed up.
What?
Damn.
Homeboy, let me ask you.
Let me, let me,

Man, homeboy, you know I don't trust nobody but you.
Okay.
Man, homeboy, I done messed up.
Okay.
End word.
You keep saying you done messed up.
What the hell did you do?
You ain't kill nobody, did you?
Nah.
Come on, homeboy.
You ain't rape nobody, did you?
Nah.
You ain't molest no kid, right?
Okay.
What'd you do?
Man, I got this I got this chick
pregnant and she said she's keeping it.
Oh! No, I'm just saying
Ocho, I'm using a hypothetical.
I'm not telling you. I like the story. I like where you're going
because you, hey listen, you built up to it.
You in character. Go ahead, now keep going.
You in character. I ain't telling you.
Oh, why'd you let her? Because. You in character. Go ahead, now. Keep going. You in character. I ain't telling. Oh, why you love him? Because
I'm friends with him, not his wife.
I met the wife through him. Right.
Because if I tell her and they mess around and
stay together, now I got two people mad at me.
I'm with you when you're right.
No. I'm with you when you're right.
No, that's him. He's

our last segment of the day is Q

hey
Star and Chris said I know
I know y'all brothers made up
oh look at that we finally got the graphic
hey
Q and
hey Star Chris said hey
I know y'all brothers made up but it must be said
Shannon getting this sensitive over comedians cracking
jokes about him in the
workplace work is truly
sad context is everything
okay Starcrest I get it
moved on
I mean that's what they
that's what they want to do
fine have at it
I'm done but like I said
I gave my sister my word
I'm moving on
but
she told me something
like I said
I told my sister today
I sent her something
and she
she
picked up the phone immediately
yeah
she said
Shannon what did Grady always tell us
she said
boy I'll die
I'll die
yeah
she said Shannon at some point in time you're going to have to learn She said, Shannon, what did Grady always tell us? She said, boy, I'll die. Yeah.
She said, Shannon, at some point in time,
you're going to have to learn you can't fight the devil every day
because you'll fight a never-ending war.
Pick and choose the battles you want to fight.
This ain't one you should want to fight.
People are going to let them say whatever.
You know who you are. You know who you are.
You know what you are.
What they're doing
now is that they found out
that Shannon is the hot thing.
They're using the same joke.
But at some
point in time, it's going to get
old and people are going to get tired of y'all saying
that Shannon gay and Shannon this.
And you're going to have to get back to telling jokes.
Now, please tell me
you're not running out of jokes.
As Colonel Jessup said, please
tell me you ain't pinned these two Marines
on phone calls
and toothbrushes. Please
tell me. Please
tell me you're not going to use Shannon as your punch
line for the next three, four, five
years. You're going to have to start telling jokes. Please tell me you got not going to use Shannon as your punchline for the next three, four, five years. You're going to have to start telling jokes.
Please tell me you got
jokes. Yeah.
So,
Starcrest, I appreciate that.
Hold on,
hold on, hold on, hold on before the next one.
Hold on, hold on. Art, you're up
next. Hey, did you and
Michael Parsons have a conversation about
your criticism on his play? Much love. Oh, did you and Michael Parsons have a conversation about your criticism on his play? Much
love. Oh, much love.
Me and my wife love the show. No,
actually, we didn't, Millennium. We did not have a conversation
about his play because I didn't think that was the time
or the place. I think a more
appropriate time and place would have been the ideal
situation to have a conversation
to discuss his play. Now, if that was
something that, you know, I know his
agent, David Muguleta, if he wanted to have a play. Now, if that was something that, you know, I know his agent, David Muguleta,
if he wanted to have a conversation,
say, man, I need you to talk to Mike,
what the expectations are, yada, yada, yada.
Sure, no problem.
If Micah reached out and said,
hey, let me holler at you about something.
No problem.
But I didn't think that setting,
that environment, that time, that location
warned me to say anything about his play.
He was there to have a good time.
Hopefully he did have a good time.
The NBA treat was great.
It was fun to get
an opportunity to see other guys and meet new
people. It was a great experience for
me. I'm glad I did it,
but no, I did not have any conversation
to Millennium Art.
I did not have any conversation about Micah
to Micah about his play this season.
What do you think?
I like it.

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's 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

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,

Please do.

Upgrade King said,
Nightcap, congratulations on a million subs.
Entertaining, engaging, motivational, inspiring,
award-winning, record-breaking.
We appreciate your hard work and dedication to excellent.
At Nightcap Crew, one love.
Man, we appreciate that.
I know Ocho can chime in,
but I really, really appreciate you guys
for supporting us, for believing in us,
for coming to us.
Originally, like I said,
we were going to probably do,
we were scheduled to do Mondays,
I mean, Sunday, Monday and Thursdays.
And then we ended up adding a day.
And then when the playoffs started, so we started going Sunday, Monday, Monday and Thursdays. And then we ended up adding a day. And then when the playoffs started,
so we started going Sunday, Monday,
Saturdays, Thursdays, Wednesdays.
And so guys, you've been incredible.
You've been unbelievable.
And I want to say thank you
from the bottom of my heart
and appreciate every moment.
Ocho, you can chime in with your words.
I mean, obviously, you know, I appreciate it again. But one, obviously giving me the platform, the opportunity to even do this and I, but the people as well in the topics and the things
that we talk about the authenticity, you and I being organic, the chemistry in which we do have,
it's been dope. It's been dope. I'm excited for what's to come, not just for us, but for the
people as well. And it's only going to get better. It's only going to get better from here, here on out.
Yeah.
I mean, we put this thing together in a little over a week, not knowing.
We just know that we just felt that we had really great chemistry.
We had a great feel.
I needed somebody that obviously played the game,
that was really good at the game, because I didn't want people,
if I have a partner that wasn't good at the game, they're going to say,
well, why are you chiming in? You weren't that
good. You couldn't do what you're asking
those guys to do. So I needed
someone that obviously played the game at a
very, very high level, but I also
needed someone that didn't take himself
too serious, that you could joke
with. Because sometimes people, me,
you know, especially with like
friends, but you joke with me, I, you know, especially with like friends, but
you joke with me, I joke with you,
but we know how far to take it. That's what friends do.
And so that's what, I
think that was the thing that I was looking for most.
Somebody that could, that played
the game at a high level, but didn't take themselves
too serious. That could
make fun of situations,
could make fun of themselves, and
just have fun, that really enjoyed
doing it, and they didn't like, man,
when the season's over,
man, I'm tired of this.
And hopefully, it's been fun.
It's been fun for you.
You've enjoyed it.
We've learned a lot.
We've grown a lot, and I do
believe that
as we go on,
because we're going to continue this through the offseason,
I think by the time we get around next season,
I think it's going to be 100 times better than what it was this year.
Oh, yeah. Most definitely. Most definitely.
Nova said, yes, after you asked her to be my Valentine.
Shout out to my frugal twin.
Ocho said she's better say yes.
That was the icing on the cake.
Appreciate that.
Bro, I'm glad.
Hopefully, you know, that wasn't the only thing that she said yes to.
But congratulations, bro.
And I'm glad we could be of assistance.
Josh Luchero.
Uncle Ocho, I recently broke up with my girlfriend.
We dated for a year, but boundaries were crossed multiple times with her being fully aware of the situation.
Should I stand on business or move on?
Help, please.
It's hard for me to say without saying what boundaries were crossed.
Right.
But if she continuously broke, if you laid out those boundaries.
And she keep crossing them.
Let it go, bro.
Man, you already know what time it is.
Let it go.
Quick.
Let it go.
It's like.
How much disrespect can you tolerate?
Mm hmm. I'm afraid I've kind of lived like this, Ocho.
You don't have to respect me,
but I won't let you disrespect me.
So if we're in an environment
and you constantly disrespect me,
I need to remove myself from the environment
for something to jump off
that you and I are probably going to both regret.
That's how it is.
So, Josh,
only you know the situation,
but if she continuously did it,
I can see if it was a one-off,
but from what you're telling me,
it's a continuous.
So it tells me that she has a blatant disregard
for the boundaries
that you've established.
Or, to make a long story story short she don't give a damn
yeah
I mean I wish I could
I wish I could
put it in simpler terms
you know it's not that complicated
it's really not that
complicated Ocho
yeah it's not
Kirby Asian dog said
I'm so into shoes
But so timid
With women's feet
Gotta eat my feet
And I got pretty feet too
Nightcap after dark
And look at that Ocho
Look at that Ocho
Nightcap
After dark
We gonna give it a spark
I ain't even gonna do it
I ain't gonna rap
Curb Asian Doll I wish I could
I mean
I mean I take care
Of my feet I go get a
Manicure pedicure once a week I have for
30 plus years I take care of my feet my feet don't look like I play I don't have all them
corns and bunions my my my feet my toes aren't deformed anything yes I've lost a couple of
toenails because the weather gets cold and guys stepping on you. Because guys don't really wear seven studs like
they did when you and I played, Ocho.
Guys wear those kind of like molded,
kind of like those tempo bottoms or those soccer
bottoms. But when I played, I
played in seven studs.
Or like the last couple of years,
I played
in tempo bottoms.
You know, those molded, had a bunch of like,
I played in those. But for the, yeah, I played in those.
But for the most part,
I played in seven studs.
That ain't hurt, boy.
Them seven studs hurt, boy.
Yeah, but I did get that,
hey, I did what I,
I did that thing to stop.
Oh, you trying to get
up out of there, huh?
Yeah, man.
Yeah, I had to get up
out of there.
But Ocho,
he tried to work on me,
Kirby Asian Doll,
about getting me in the feet, but I don't know.
We going to get you together, man.
Listen, everything is a process.
Everything is a process.
Baby steps.
We going to start too small.
If you can eat pig feet, just working on humans, it ain't that far off.
We going to get you there.
So you think there's a correlation between pig feet
and another something
would start with feet, huh?
The key word is feet.
Whether it's pig or human,
it don't matter.
The key word is feet.
We need to make sure
they're in vinegar.
We're going to stop there.
Chief 209 said,
Ocho looked like a milk dug
covered with baby powder.
You kind of asked your Ocho.
I was.
I was.
I had just washed my hands.
I forgot to put lotion on. But you know, I'm one... Listen, you know. I would. I would. I had just washed my hands. I forgot to put lotion on.
But, you know, I'm one, listen, you know,
I don't be caring. I'm the same person that
wears the same outfit six days
in a row and post a picture. You know, I don't care.
Xan Master said, Ocho,
I thought you was getting a Brazilian eyebrow lift.
You told the people that, Ocho?
Huh? You told the people
you was getting an eyebrow lift? Nah, I think
he must be talking about, remember I was supposed to get the piece for Vegas?
The lace front, the man piece.
Oh, okay.
I was, but my head didn't grow back enough for me again, so I just cut my hair and said
forget it.
Nah, I can't read your name, but imagine if you and Sterling got into pro wrestling instead of football.
What would your tag team name names be?
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
I don't know.
That's a good one.
You saw The Rock.
You saw The Rock came back.
Yeah.
I think it's going to probably be. He's going to probably fight Roman Reigns.
Yeah.
Yeah, The Rock.
He's really good on that mic, boy.
Oh, yeah.
He turned into a completely different person.
He's an entertainer.
He gets it. He knows how he
has to give up the gab.
He's great at what he does.
But he's a hard-ass worker.
I'm trying to think.
What am I?
Damn.
I mean, you had Mr. Ransom number two.
You had the Super Destroyers.
You had the Road Warriors.
You had the British Bulldogs.
Hey, what you know about the British Bulldogs? You had the Sheep Herders.
I don't know.
Jeez.
The Andersons, Arne and Tully.
Yeah, Greg Valentine and Ric Flair.
I couldn't even think.
I don't know.
I don't even know what our name would be.
Yeah. I couldn't even think I don't know I don't even know What that name would be Yeah
Ocho I got one
This is your wheelhouse Ocho
Cause I think you might have
You might have played against him
But
Who that
My brother and I keep debating
Who is greater all time
Richard Sherman
Or Stephon Gilmore
Hey that's
You know what? Completely
different type of DBs. Both really
good. Obviously, Steph is a little bit shorter.
You know, Richard
Sherman, a little bit longer. Obviously
played with a great
on a great, that great Legion
of Boom team, but he's
great in his own right. I think if he wasn't
with the Legion of Boom, he still would have been
sufficient and played at a high level
because he was really good.
And that's a good one.
That's a good one.
And then, you know,
when it comes down to
the first thing people
are going to look at
is the numbers.
I don't have the numbers
in front of me,
but I just know
watching both of them
throughout the years,
they're both really good.
Steph was really, really good.
People might say Stephon Gilmore because he has the defensive player of the year,
but
would you say Gilly is
better than Rivas?
Rivas doesn't have a defensive player.
No, no, no, no.
And many will argue, say Rivas
was next in his era
to, uh, excuse me.
Yeah.
Sherm was next to Rivas in his era.
Right.
Listen,
we will never ever see
a year like Rivas had in 2009.
Ever.
Ever.
You couldn't replicate it.
You couldn't duplicate that shit on fucking Madden.
That's how great Revis was
in 2009.
We'll never see anything
like that again.
The players,
the caliber of players
he went against
and was able to stop.
Unheard of.
You know,
unheard of.
Tremendous amount of respect
to Revis
and what he was able
to do that year.
Could he play that style
in this system
with the incidental contact?
Probably, probably because he doesn't even have to be handsy because his eyes and his eyes were so good and being able to get get back and look at the ball.
He played a ball, man, like no other. He played a ball like a goddamn receiver.
Play the ball like a goddamn receiver, and a goddamn receiver and he's always in position. He's always in position to make a play. He
was never, never out of position. Never, never out of position.
So who you got, Sherm or Gilmore?
Damn. All right. I'm going to just go with Sherm. I'm going to go with Sherm. Just because
he has my style of play
and he likes to talk.
He likes to talk and walk it.
So, you know, I'm all for it.
If you're going to talk and walk it,
you on my team.
Clips and Scene asks,
which is more unfair,
Shaq that can shoot threes
or Tom Brady that can scramble?
Shaq!
Shaq, man.
Can you imagine Shaq being able
to shoot threes like Embiid
And go down in the post
And post you up
And
Easy
That wouldn't be fair
Yeah when they say well we'll average
50-25 Shaq Dabshaw
Averages 60 he can shoot threes
And he gonna be just
Oh hell no.
That wouldn't be fair.
Because we see Brady, and we see Brady and Patrick Mahomes.
Right.
Can throw the ball just as good as Brady, but he can scramble.
Right.
We ain't see nobody. You got to go back back to wilt to find somebody that was as dominant as
Shaq inside you see Shaq Shaq got three guys on him and he's still muscling through him dunking
the ball what a player they call hacker Shaq yeah Shaq was strong bro Dr. Frank L. Bellamy said, hey, Uncle Nocho, if y'all could create your own NFL team,
what would it be called?
And what would your mascot be?
Obviously, mine is common sense.
If y'all know me, you follow me,
you know the mascot for me
is going to be a killer whale.
Man, that ain't no mascot.
Killer whale is a mascot.
What you talking about?
But I'm saying,

It's going to be the Jags
because the Jags already got a team.
Man, they got all the Jags because the Jags already got a team man they got all the Bears
all the fierce animals
taken

That means that you probably got a habit
and you need to go somewhere
to get that thing cleaned up.

It's a different type of mentality, Ocho.

That's why I'm ready for it.
To stay awake.

Jim Averill said,
watching y'all work in fintech,
I'm currently studying finance.
I want to take a leap
and move on to a new job,
but suffer imposter syndrome.
Any advice for a young 26-year-old?
Much love.
Well, you working at finance.
Well, you good with numbers. Yes.
Well, you, you, were you, are you
right where you want to be? Yes.
Shit, but finance.
No, no, no, Ocho, at the end of the day, you got to go where your heart
leads you. If your heart ain't in it no more,
you got to let it go. Okay, you right.
Ain't nothing worse than being somewhere that
you second guess yourself.
And you don't want to be five, ten years in
and say, I should have.
Right.
Okay, you're right.
But shit,
if you're in finance,
finance pay good now.
Yeah.
If you find something else you want to do
where the pay is equal or better than,
okay, now we talking.
But don't just go do something else
that ain't paying what you should be getting
just because it's fun
or because you like it.
You're going to regret that.
But here's the thing.
You don't want to work.
Because if you love what you do,
you'll never have to work a day in your life.
The worst thing to do
is to go to a job that you hate going to. Like, damn. I mean, Ocho, you do, you'll never have to work a day in your life. The worst thing to do is to go to a job that you hate
going to. Like, damn.
I mean, Ocho, you're like, damn, I got to go to this
ragged ass job again.
What the hell?
And then you pull up at the job, you're in the
parking lot like, damn, I got to go
and talk to
my
funky ass.
Yeah.
But you know the difficulty
of finding the job
that you enjoy
and actually enjoy
getting up and going to
you know how hard that is
I've been blessed Ocho
I've been blessed
once I got
I mean
obviously those manual labor jobs
yeah
excuse me
I didn't enjoy but they let me know what I didn't want to do as an adult because that was backbreaking work as a child.
Right.
And, you know, you got a higher threshold, work longer, work harder.
And as you start to age, it gets harder and harder to sum that up.
I just knew that's not what I wanted to do.
Right. So, but once I started,
you know, playing football and then I
leave the NFL and I go to CBS,
I leave CBS, do my own thing
for a couple of years, go to Fox,
now I'm at ESPN doing my own thing.
I can honestly say ever since
1990, I've loved,
thoroughly enjoyed every job I had.
Right.
Our curvy Asian dog
followed up and said,
it's okay if men's feet
are messed up.
I asked, why are you afraid of women's
feet? Pocho, no one
ever turned down a milk gun
head. Pretty feet gang.
I ain't afraid of no feet.
I just ain't had nothing
in my mouth.
That's what I said.
We're going to get you a little sauce to put on now.
We're going to work you in.
I don't know who.
How about I start with massaging the feet?
Just hold them right here.
You know what?
Baby steps.
We work with that.
Work with that. So you find you a good set of feet
that's done. They got a pedicure.
Yeah.
I got some latex gloves in my drawer at home.
I put my latex gloves on. Now you don't need no gloves.
I got to touch it with my hands.
Use your hands. Yeah, use your hands.
My hands. I mean, you don't
say that with a doctor. When a doctor put them gloves
on, you don't say, doc, take them gloves off and touch me with your bare hands.
You don't tell the doctor that.
This is a completely different situation.
We not going for a checkup.
He give you an exam.
We ain't going for no exam.
We talk about a woman's feet.
Yeah.
Pretty feet.
Nice, subtle, soft, butter.
I ain't going below the ankle.
I ain't going below the ankle. It ain't going below the ankle.
They call me ankle ankle.
That's as far as I'm going, Ocho. That's as far as I'm
going. We're going to work
on you, man. We're going to get you there. Don't worry about it.
Man,
Jonathan, every time I stop at a real lot, I
think of Uncle Ocho. I love the show.

Dane not only was a three-point champion,
three-point contest champion,

Anything else?
Steph Curry beat
Sabrina Inescu

three-point challenge.
Sabrina, you did well.
Very well.
Very, very well.
Matt McClung
won the dunk contest. Matt McClung won the dunk contest.
Matt McClung is
6'2". I think I said he's 5'10", 5'11".
He's listed at 6'2",
which means he's probably more like 6'6".
And Team
Shea beat Team Stephen A.
You owe it to
Stephen A. I don't know who they're going to bring next
year, obviously, so you can get a win.
Maybe they'll let you take a couple of
NBA players to increase your chance of winning.

I already told you I was going to out-coach you.
I knew that. I wasn't even surprised
by that at all.
