You know how you hit a candle and you drip that candle on the back? I like that. I like that. See, simply because, listen, I use a candle wax.

I used to use this as a part of foreplay. You know, when you meet somebody for the first time, I only use a candle wax. I used to use ice well. You hear me? You just told me. You told me. I was ancient when I told you about the ice dripping.

Yeah. Yeah, you talk about tracing ice. Oh, that's back in the 80s. Ain't nobody doing that no more. I'm talking about using the candle wax while in the act of already. I mean, the act already. No, no, no. You got to put that on.

You got to put that on. Dim the lights. You got to cut the lights down. Oh. No. Dim the lights. Yeah, dim the light. Dim the light.

Ocho, I just want to see a little bit. I don't want to see the whole. I just want to see a little. No. I got it. I got it. I got it. Less is more. Less is more.

You got to learn to use the ice trick, man. Crush ice. Toes to your mouth, right? You hear me? No. Listen to me now. Listen to me. Stay with me.

You're already in the act of engaging. Then you use the candle wax right depending on her her on her flesh for pain on how much pain she can tolerate you take the wax and allow it to drip on the nip on the on the nipples you feel me there's a phenomenal sensation for those that haven't tried in the chat you should try that like i listen i used to come in when i was in high school and college, I came with a package, and women used to come and be able to pick out what package they wanted me to do. I'm serious.

You laugh. I'm serious. I had to make money some kind of way. But for me, I don't know if you've seen them. Y'all ever seen them big old ice cubes? It'd be round ball. I got a square one in Atlanta.

It got my number and everything in it. You know what I'm saying? Don't you want to get that thing? Like a cue ball. Yeah. I'm just rolling. You know, I'm just rolling. With ice.

But I'm a candle. Spark it. I'm sparking it. You got to try that. You got to try that. You got to try that. Yeah. Listen. All right, Ocho.

Handcuffs. Skip. Yeah, I'm going to skip it. I'm going to skip it because that's triggering. That's traumatizing. I don't even like. You don't even like. I can't give her that kind of control.

Yeah. No, no. Especially if you give it up to the wrong person. You know, what if she puts you in handcuffs And she knows the pass goes to your phone I come up out in the face I come up out in the handcuffs Nah

Nah I can't I can't I can't give her that kind of control man what you said if you in handcuffs and she pick up your phone and go through it yeah yeah oh yeah for sure

yes do you think y'all think I'm Houdini? Uh-uh. No. Hey, and I know people, hey look, some people, some people like to be bound, some people like to be restrained and all that stuff. I ain't into that. I mean, yeah, people about, hey, you know, no stuff i ain't into that i just do i mean

yeah people about hey hey you know you know i don't want to do none of that hey nope hey listen i used to be oh man i had i had a wild life when i was younger man bondage oh man highing up dominating this that's that's the old me man i've listened i i didn't got baptized now so i guess i guess the handcuffs are for for her yeah yeah yeah it could be or vice versa depending on it depending on if you have a woman that's aggressive and likes to take over but she need to be flexible because she needs to be flexible. Because she needs to be able to put her hands behind her back and still be able to, you know what I'm saying? Oh, I'm with you when you're right.

I'm with you when you're right. All right. Last but not least, in the car. Spark it. Yes. Spark it. Spark it. Spark it.

You French for what? Right, right, right. Come on with it now. Yeah, I like that. That was some days. Nah, I'm a little more cautious,

because there's really not too many places you can go where you can be comfortable and be able to get away with it. You know, always have to look over your shoulder. And you know, if you get caught, you're going to hit that no-hoos. I don't want no part of that. I don't want no part of that either, Ocho.

But, you know, mall parking lot seems to work. Gym parking lot seems to work Ocho froze but see that's why you got that 5% when you got that 5% you gotta worry about it it uh man nobody care about no stick I'm in there

It makes it 10 years. I get it in. Huh? I don't need no excitement. I'm excited. I'm about to do it. Oh, okay. Somebody, somebody just knew.

You know what I mean? You know what I mean? I'm just all the variables. That's all I have. Listen, I haven't done that in a while. I haven't done it in a very, very long done in a very very long time so but i just know that feeling hey it ain't nothing like it the movie theater i i thought like because you know they got the movie theater where the chairs lay all the way back on show yeah yeah i i i we call it i pick yeah i think that we got i thought about

renting it out renting one out just me and her. Yeah! Hey, it's so funny you said that. Oh, I almost woke the baby up. It's so funny you said that. I'm going, no, she's right here laying in front of me. When the last time you been to a drive-in theater? I ain't been to a drive-in theater in 1996. Yeah, at least. A drive-in? Yeah. Ain't nothing like it. Yeah, at least. Six. A drive-in?

Yeah. Ain't nothing like it. Yeah. What? I ain't watching no movies. I'm just saying that. Listen, I'm thinking about it. I thought about it while I was here.

I was talking with a very, very good friend of mine. We talked about drive-in theaters. And the last time you've been to a drive-in theater and thought about how that experience would be in 2025. So I looked up, you know... Y'all got some in Miami? They say there's one in Fort Lauderdale.

Say there's one in Fort Lauderdale. I think that would be a great experience, especially if they have old movies they're showing, you know, like Grease. Yeah. You know, stuff like that. I'll give it that one they're showing. Hey, they could have a doc. Nat Geo could be talking about the great migration. you know, the stuff like that. I'll give it that one day show. They can,

Hey, they can have a doc. They can, Nat Geo could be talking about the great migration. That ain't got nothing to do with what I got going on. Oh, you're not going to watch the show. No,

I am not. It's all about the experience. If you happen to go to a drive-in theater, I think the people I'm going to, I'm wondering what the age group is for the people in the chat. And anybody, anybody think the people, I'm wondering what the age group is for the people in the chat. Oh, what age group is it? Anybody in the chat, y'all been to drive-in theater? Do you have drive-in theaters in your city where you're from?

I'm just curious. Yep. There's one in Atlanta on Moreland. It's right across from the federal prison. If anybody live in Atlanta on Moreland Avenue, there's one right down, I'm talking about right across from the federal prison on Moreland Avenue. I don't know what it I'm talking about like right across from the theater of a prison on Moreland Avenue. I don't know what it's called,

but that was the one I went to. And as a matter of fact, she had a truck, she had a truck and let the gate down. You know what I'm saying, Ocho? Oh, yeah, okay. They got nothing to do with me.

But see, here's the thing, Ocho. It was dark and they couldn't see in there. I can see they mind their business. I was handling mine. That's not what you do. Y'all don't be no, ooh, ooh, ooh, mind your business. Hold on, you was on a flatbed outside?

No, she had a forerunner. Okay. The seats lay down, the gate lay down, and the other part comes up. Oh, okay, okay. I got you, I got you, I got you. Boy, you go, wow, huh? Once upon you, I got you, I got you. Boy, you go wild, huh? Once upon a time, Mocho. Once upon a time.

Now, you know, Mocho, they be trying your boy. See, they look at me, you know, you ain't gonna do, huh? I won't do what? All them super days, boy. But, you know, back in the day, Mocho, we wild out there. We wilding now? Man, please. All them super days, boy.

But, you know, back in the day, we were wild out there. We were wild in that. Yeah, yeah. And it wasn't no thing. You know, now, I mean, you know, hey, front of your homeboys, one on the car, one in the backseat,

one in the front seat, one on the trunk. Yeah. Oh, shake. It was the days, Ocho. Like Stevie said, I wish those days would come back once more. That's what it's called, Starlight? But they know what I'm talking about.

It's on Moreland. It's right across from the federal prison.

I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company. The podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything

but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask...

I'm Leon Nafak, 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.

But joining us, I know it's late. I don't know if he's here in the A or he died in Miami. That's the biggest boss you ever saw. That's the homie, Ricky Rose. What it do? What it do, family? What it do, fam? What's happening? My two brothers, what it do? Bro, what it do, baby?

Everything good? Man, everything good, baby. You know we shining on this side. Yeah, I hear you. Man, it's late. I'm sorry we kept you up this late, boss, but we had to get y'all here, man. Tell us going on i know the car show is in june but you got something happening before june tell us all about it most definitely the car show june 7th but what we kicking off tomorrow in louisville is the millennium tour you better believe it the millennium tour you know it's a lot of stars on the tour but what made it exciting to me

is me coming back out, bringing my new artist, Nino Breeze, back out to hit the stage. Trey Songz or Marion, Bow Wow, Plyce, Boosie. The list goes on. Chucky, y'all better rock with us. It's going to be special now. Ron, let me ask you this. When you go on, okay, you want to go on tour.

Right. How do you decide the artist that you want to go on tour with you? How do you come, how do you like, okay, I want him, I want her, I want this, I want that. How do you decide that, boss? Well, whenever I call the shots in this, my tour is usually somebody that I got a relationship with, gel with. And on a third act, you might want to throw something else out there just for the crowd

that would be a different vibe. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, so this right here, this is the Millennium Tour. This has been a legendary tour that's been going on for many years now. And I felt it'd be good for me to come hit the stage. Nino Breeze hit the stage. We do

it big, close it out, put our jewels on, put our gear on. Five-way. You know how weze hit the stage. We do it big, close it out, put our jewels on, put our gear on. Five-way. You know how we do that thing? Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? So it's going crazy, city to city. Listen, boss, man, we've been friends, man.

We got to be going on 20 years by now, boy. We got to be 20 years, man. Listen, you've always been known. I've been known to talk to you, though, in our own personal conversations, in your interviews, you've always been known. I've been known to talk to you, you know, in our own personal conversations, in your interviews, you're always dropping wisdom. For the people that are listening, what's the best financial advice

you've ever received? Because you're one of the most savvy businessmen and you're very, very good with your money. Because as an artist, I don't think people understand how difficult it is and what you've been able to do and accomplish is maintaining longevity. it's not just getting it but maintaining it long term man please tell the

people man how you've been able to do it because not very many as long as rap has been around everybody hasn't been able to maintain longevity well for rose it's really it's the consistency you know i got my hands in 20 different things everything may not win uh as much as others and some may not win at all but when you win make sure you win big when you repping something you hold it up high everywhere you go that's why i love staying on tour love going across the the country, because when I go, my brands go, my teams go, and we rep all around the world, wherever we go. And that's how we do it. You know what I mean?

Then when you come back home, buy you a little piece of land. They can make that car, but they can't buy that corner. They got to come see you to get that corner if you're on that corner. That's what we're talking about. But, boss, if you think about it boss music might have got you started that might be your foundation right i need where you make the most of your money at boss and that's what look at hove hove might have got started in music but hove got a whole lot he a billionaire because of something else

it's definitely that's what it is. The music introduced us to the world. Now you got to take it to where you want to take it to. And you got to earn it, but you got to turn it all the way up. And as long as you stay solid, keep your face clean, and you mean what you say. Yeah.

Bones, when I look at you and I hear you talk, man, and I like brothers that get in paper, but don't talk down about somebody else. Because a lot of times we have the propensity, Ross, that we make a little paper or somebody make a little paper more than us, that we start to feel some type of way and we try to be negative towards that paper when we got there's an opportunity. And I told I was telling I was telling Ocho this the other day, 80% of the money that's in circulation has been printed since

2020. So what that tell me, Ross, if they run out of money, they'll print some more. So if he, if your boy getting all of it, don't worry about it. Just wait a couple of days. They're going to go back to the factory. They're going to print some more for you. You already know, and we're going to make sure they keep printing us some.

And when they come to us getting paper, we ain't talking down on nobody. This is motivational purposes only. Whenever you see that jet fly in, you see that yacht pull up, that's the hard work. You see the fun times, you see the rewards,

but you got to see the grind. When you come to my story every morning, you're going to hear Rose preaching, let's go get it. Let's do something new. You got to see the grind. When you come to my story every morning, you're going to hear Rosé preaching, let's go get it. Let's do something new. You got to get that piss out the back of that toilet. You got to get the rust off the side of mama house. It's 2025.

We can't be bullshit, man. We're going all the way up, man. Right. Hey, listen, a lot of rappers now, a lot of rappers, athletes, and general athletes as well that are retired have gotten into sports ownership. You're a huge advocate for our Miami Dolphins, obviously. If the Dolphins never came up for sale, would you be interested in buying the Dolphins? Without a doubt. That's without a doubt. That's without a doubt.

That's without a doubt. And, and, if we make that happen, I'll throw in there me being a water boy. You know what I mean? I'll throw that in.

Listen, check it. If you were able to be the takeover for Stephen Ross and you were able to be the GM, what's the first movie you'd make for your dogs? You'll be honest. I'll spend some money.

We're going to spend on somebody. We got to get somebody else to back up Tua. We love Tua. He's an amazing person, amazing quarterback. But we just got to make sure we get somebody behind him. We're going to do a few things on the defense. It's a few things we got to do for us to have

that run, like y'all was just discussing. That Lakers run. We got to have the Lakers run. We need us some wins down here, and we really deserve it. As a true Dolph fan, we really frustrated, homie. Listen, it's been a long time, boy. It's been

a long time. And I'm talking about this past season. We was all thinking and dreaming Super Bowl. Yeah. Expectations behind based on what we did last year. And for those in the chat, they're going to say, oh, you played for the bad. I'm from Dade County. I'm from Liberty

City first. I was with the Dol County. I'm from Liberty City first. I was with the Golden Family before I got drafted. You better believe it. Bo, let me ask you this. I hope you remember that song you did at the house. I may have to leak that. I may have to leak that. Man, let me know. Let me know.

Let me know. I'm ready. Bo, let me ask you this. You were talking about the grind, how you get up. But it seems like people forget to grind. I'm not talking about you because you know what you went through. But when they see the yards, they see the private jets, they see the whips, they're like, oh, he did something.

But they forget what Ross did. This is the byproduct. This is the finished product. But what about that 10, 15-year period that y'all didn't see Ross grinding, that y'all didn't see that struggle, that y'all didn't see me cleaning the cars, making $20 and do a little extra when I go get gas and put the fresh scent inside of it?

You didn't see that. All you see is the after, but nobody sees the struggle or wants to believe that there was a struggle in order to get to the other side. Without a doubt, it most definitely was a struggle for Ricky Rosado's 20 years before I got old. Nobody, you know, they did. They don't want to recognize that all of the records I wrote for others. Imagine having records that never work yet. And you walk in the club and you hear something that you wrote, and it's going crazy.

But guess what? You stay down. We stay down. It's like, yo, there's so many potential MVP players that's riding the band. There's so many people who's sitting down mad at themselves. Oh, man, I ain't going to even go in. No, I got to get in the game, and I got to show everybody my value. And once I get in the game, I ain't going to look back.

And that's what we did. I tell Ocho this all the time. I said, Ocho, you don't realize how much success you can have as long as you don't care who gets the credit. A lot of times, if it can't be done my way, Rose, then hell with it. I'll blow it up. If you won't let me drive the boat, I'll sink the whole ship. It's so funny.

And now that you mentioned it too, you talk about when it comes to athletes, anyone that has any type of success, a lot of people are looking for instant gratification, not understanding the process that goes into it. Anything that you get right away, it never lasts. Ross, you probably remember, you told a story a long time ago. I had no idea how long it took, how long you was in the game before you even saw real money. How long you had to grind and get it together and actually get it before. I don't know.

You might have been maybe eight, nine, ten years in the game until you actually saw some real money as an artist and was like, okay. Okay, it's paying off. And not everybody see the finished product, you know, the jewelry, the houses, the car, and not understanding how long it even took to get to that point. Oh, believe that. It most definitely took a long time. And it's like when you're doing it for love, you're doing it out of passion, that it won't allow you to quit. Right. You got to find a way to love whatever it is you're doing.

Even if you're getting up and you're shooting your content two, three in the morning, you got to get up and love it. They're going to feel it in you. They're going to see it in you. And that's what it was. It wouldn't allow me to quit. So after I got old, as soon as I could do my first show for $200, $300, $500, that wasn't much, but that was progress for me. And it was more than enough to feed my love. So I wouldn't stop.

And here we are right now. And that's what happened. When people ask me, Ross, man, give me some advice. I say find something that you're passionate about because that's what's going to get you out of bed. That's going to what's going to make you focus and lock in to do what you need to do in order to get done what you need to get done. Find your passion. Don't, well, I think I want to do this. Well, see, the minute you tell me you think you want to do something, you're not passionate about it.

Because what you're passionate about, you're going to do. Absolutely. And, you know, you're going to win, and you're going to win big when you're passionate about it. Absolutely. Don't look're passionate about it. Absolutely. Don't look forward to doing it. It's just like laying that outfit out that night before school. You got to lay the outfit out. If you don't put it on the night before, you might be rushing.

You might wake up a little late, bro, and you might not have the outfit. But that night before, I lay that thing out. Them Lee jeans was crispy. Stars that Niagara Stars, you know. You put the socks in the shoes. You make sure they right. So just in case, don't nothing get me. Hey, man, I'm ready. I'm ready. And when you get to school

that next day, trust me, you're a different individual. That kid's going to be priceless. Man, look here. I'll be so clean the first day of school if a fly light on me i'll cut his throat you ain't got no business on me now you know i'm too clean to you putting you laying your ass on me hey yeah hey ross let me ask you uh uh like when you when you started this thing obviously everybody knew you from the music but you weren't satisfied with that because you felt that okay that's my foundation my foundation. People know me for this.

But you know what? Since y'all know me, let me see if y'all want to do business with the boss. Hey, Wingstop, get at your boy. Get at your boy. Get at your boy. And I'm going to tell you, that's what Luka been doing. Luka got around some white homies. He been eating the payment peppers with that ranch dressing. I'm telling you right now.

I'm telling you, that's what it is, man. And once I went out, I did business. Once Wingstop seen it, Checker seen it, all the other brands, Bugatti luggage, everybody else started falling in place. I ain't dropping the ball. We doing potato chips. Let's do noodles.

Okay, we did an amazing thing with wing stop let's take it to the next level let's create our own chicken that's coming next hey how difficult how difficult is it for obviously you have to have some type of foundation some type of background have to have some type of success behind you but when it comes to to working with brands of that magnitude is it difficult to get involved with them? Well, after you sustain, after you establish a certain amount of success, they can't see your vision when you go down and lay out. Look, this is the idea I got. This is what I want to do.

I mean it. I love it. And besides, like me, I bought bought my first franchise went to my second my third you know they sitting back watching damn when he gonna stop he had 20 he had 25 hey man you understand so they understand my book you know my passion how hard we went and how amazing my team was yeah Yeah. Understand? So once they understand and know you got the team, they're going to let you run with it, especially if

you really get money. That's what it's going to come down to. Who's going to repack the brand and get some money? I did them both well. That's the color that people be looking at. You know what I mean? Yeah, black and white and all that other stuff, but they count green. People can see green. People

might be colorblind, Rose. No, they are colorblind. They are colorblind, but once that thing start coming, everybody get on the same page. When that buttercow start blue. That's all they come. They like, hey, here's another one.

Hey, where you want your next wing star, man, boss? one. Hey, where you want your next Wingstop at, boss? Matter of fact, where you want your next 10 at, boss? Let's go to L.A. Texas, baby. Hey, boss, look, we know you love cars. Let me ask you a question. How did you decide to come up with a car show? Because I know you love cars. You were telling me when I did the interview with you a couple of years ago,

you told me cars have always been your passion right they always been my passion i looked up one day realized i was at close to 60 70 cars damn yeah i'm at the promised land that was then yeah i'm at the promised land we at 250 plus acres and I find myself looking around thing. Let's do this. Yeah. We came off the very first one. And when I say the culture came out, the streets came out,

the cars, the bikes, the trucks, the ladies, the hustlers, the athletes, Chad Ocho was out there riding horses all day. I'm talking about horseback ride. the athletes. Chad Ocho was out there riding horses all day.

I'm talking about horseback riding. That's what made me think of doing a rodeo next. I'm like, yo, if you do a rodeo, I'm riding a bull. 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.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there,

and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide and hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

Intent. Made. Man. Man. Brought been a real deal, man. Since day one. He ain't changed. And always been the same.

Chad Johnson, Bengals, 2006, New Year's Eve game. The shoes were laid aside at training camp that was attended. I've tried searching for familiar items of light and haven't found anything. Ojo, you signed on? I'm one-on-one. You want your cleats back, Ojo?

Yeah, nah, nah, I don't want them back. I want that, uh, that Hall of Fame jacket I made back. That's one-on-one. I need that. The cleats is cool. Listen, that's 2006. I was doing, you know, you see how they have cleats today? My cleat, my cause, my cleat, or my, how you say it?

Yeah. Yeah, my cause, my cleats. I mean, I've been doing my cause way back then in 2006, but I was getting fine for mine. You know, create my own bangle cleats, you know, having a little fun, a little creativity. Yeah, you could only have two colors. You couldn't have three.

But look, the NFL has laxed a lot of rules. And I think, look, I like this, my calls, my cleats. For a worthy cause, you auction the shoes off, and the money goes to the charity that you're trying to raise awareness for. And hopefully, you know, you sell the shoes shoes and it goes for a large amount. So I like that. I like guys getting an opportunity to give back for a very worthy cause. But damn, y'all didn't give me my money back and I donated.

Give me the money y'all took up off me for having shoes. Talking about the shoes got three colors. That's funny. Y'all, these kids, they are, these men, now they're worse. First of all, I mean,

guys, now, Ocho, guys coming to the league, guys play special teams. They might not even be active and got a cause. Nice.

Got cleats. How you get, how you get, how you going to the shoe surgeon? Or how you going to this guy getting cleats made for $5,000 and you playing four plays a game?

I'm like, damn. I'm just saying, don't joke. You messed up, man. Man, these dudes here, I want my money back. I want to donate it. I got a worthy cause that I want to donate for. So give me the money back that y'all took from me over the years. It's six figures.

Trust me. Absolutely. I sure wish I was buying money back. The volume.
