Starting point is 00:02:26 terms, and responsible gaming resources. Simone Biles in Paris Olympics with three goals, one silver. She took silver in the floor exercise, which is her favorite or best event. Jessica Andrade won gold after finishing behind the Americans on three other events during the 2024 game. A picture went viral of Simone and Jordan Childs bowing down to Jessica Andrade, who has overcome three, 17, 18, and 19, three ACL tears that needed to be prepared.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Simone spoke about saying, she's so amazing. She's a queen and she's the first and this is the first all-black podium. So it's super exciting for us. She's such an excitement to watch and then all the fans in the crowd all cheered for her. So it's just the right thing to do.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Marlon Humphrey chimed in and said this is literally disgusting. Yeah, see, listen, I don't think Marlon understood the backstory to why they were praising her. Not only winning gold, but some of the things that she had to overcome to even be back competing.
Starting point is 00:03:36 I don't think Marlon understood that. I think he's seeing it from the standpoint of you guys representing us, and here you are praising someone else and bowing down to them because they won gold, but Marlon didn't understand the context on why they were doing so and so i'm sure you probably understand now huh shouldn't you do that before you press c i know i know i know but you know when you see when you look at it as a competitor marlin is a great competitor at that great db for the ravens when you when you see something like that the first thing you thought like oh man
Starting point is 00:04:03 look what we doing we lost we not we didn't get gold and we sitting there bowing down but he didn't understand the backstory on why they were how many times how many times have we heard great players other great players say tom brady to go we heard lamar jackson say that is that disgusting you you compete against him and he said you to go we've seen players say say that to Aaron Donald. We've seen players say that to Gronk. We've seen other players. Is that disgusting? Yeah. Or do we need to know the backdrop? Yeah, the backstory. Yeah, I think just on the world stage, I think in his lens, he sees it a little different. So I think now I'm sure if if if he ruffled any feathers, he might he probably apologize by now.
Starting point is 00:04:43 And, you know, everybody's going to have their own opinion on the way they dissect things that they do see. And I just... That's a tough one. That's a tough one. That's why you read before you press send. Send, yeah. That's why you study and understand
Starting point is 00:04:59 because he looks foolish with his tweet. Everybody... I'm sure he got two million and ain't nobody say you right, Marlon. I bet you ain't got one person that said that he was right. He had another tweet he sent out. It's where he said, the Brazilians killing me on Instagram. No, I mean, look. Hey, they was on his head, boy.
Starting point is 00:05:22 It's kind of like, look at Thomas Davis. Overcame three ACLs to play 14 years. Carolina Panther legend. Yes. I think he ended his career with, he went to the Chargers too, didn't he? Didn't he play a year with the Chargers? He did. Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:05:36 But anyway, but I'm saying, when someone overcomes something of that magnitude and you make it to the world stage and you win a gold medal how many people would have just given up in sports three acl tears and acl tears with women are a little different because they don't have the bone density and they don't have the muscle mass right men have so a lot of times women have a high rate of retears because they don't have the big quads they don't have to distribute that force right i just did i like i said hey it's him it's his opinion he feels that it's disgusting that's his opinion but uh i i just don't i i just don't get what what he helped what do you hope to accomplish but i just need to say, what was disgusting about it?
Starting point is 00:06:26 I mean, like you said, he needed context. We need context to why he thought it was disgusting. Had you not seen these women competing? Did you not hear Simone Biles say, she's amazing, given what she's overcome, and to be back here? Oh, see, he didn't see that part. He just saw on Twitter them just bowing down.
Starting point is 00:06:46 That's all. And the first thing, the first reaction as a competitor that he is, hey, we didn't even win gold. Why are we bowing down to the person who did win gold without any context? Simone Biles says, hey,
Starting point is 00:07:01 mother had eight kids, took a bunch of jobs just to send her away. She went away without her family. She got ACLs. It's not like Brazil is loaded. We've seen the stories. Even if you don't know, never been to Brazil, we know what the propellers are. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:20 That's the worst of the poor. Yes, sir. And for her to overcome that and to get to this this point she should be commended hopefully she most decorated brazilian male or female uh in gymnastics history hopefully they have a hero's hopefully they have a hero's welcome uh for when when she gets home but like i said i just like you said he needed i don't know i want to know context what were you thinking marlon when you tweeted that what did you hope to accomplish yeah marlon you got to let us know if you don't let us know i'm
Starting point is 00:07:58 gonna make you cover me that ain't what you want michelle obama said i'm still i'm still not over this beautiful moment of sisterhood and sportsmanship. You can just feel the love shining through these ladies. Congrats, Rebecca, Jordan, and Simone. The Olympic Games said, this is everything. Yeah. It was a good moment. It was a great moment.
Starting point is 00:08:17 It was a great moment because not only did I watch it, I understood why they were doing it. And I understood what the young lady had to overcome to be back on the world stage representing her country. So it was really dope. Yeah, it was really dope. It was really, really controversy did not end there. Oh, Joe. Michaela Skinner, the former teammate who's been running, who has to say, ask Simone Biles to call off the alleged bullying she received over the tip or tap. Kayla released the video.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Let's take a look. Let's watch this video jill i am really heartbroken over it but not just heartbroken because it isn't how i feel or even what i previously said but heartbroken because simone's latest post and others that followed it fueled another wave of hateful comments, DMs, articles, and emails. My family and my friends don't deserve to be caught in a crossfire here. They've done nothing. So to Simone, I am asking you directly and publicly to please put a stop to this. Please ask your followers to stop. We playing victim?
Starting point is 00:09:38 We playing victim now? So you came with the same energy. For every action, there's a reaction you understand that you understand what you were doing when you said what you said you understand the consequences that came behind what you were doing and what you said and who you were talking about yes you knew that this is the this is the why the play oh oh, I'm so hurt. Oh, death threat. Like, come on, man. Oh, Joe. What are we doing? The same thing. So dramatic.
Starting point is 00:10:10 So dramatic, Unc. They hit me with that. Women will jump on my timeline, say something insulting. And then when I hit, when I, when you, hey, oh, Joe, cause you know I'm sitting on a thousand jokes. I'm on number nine. So you know what I'm saying? I got nine out of the so when i when i when i when i come back oh that's how you talk
Starting point is 00:10:30 to black women so i just ask were you black before or after you insulted me i just need to know right oh your mom was a black woman yeah but my mom ain't talking to me like that my sister my daughters right you don't okay fine i don't have i don't have any control over your actions just like you don't have control over those consequences that come with what i say to you afterwards see you want to control the actions and the consequences it don't work like that it don't work like that which one do you want to control it don't work like that can you can't you can't throw the stone you can't throw the you can't throw the stone you can't throw the rock and hide your hand now yes you can't do that it don't work like that you you know they love they love they love the the whole i'm so hurt oh everyone around me doesn't deserve
Starting point is 00:11:21 this they don't deserve that i'm getting death death. And Simone Biles, Jordan Childs, Sonny Lee, Jay Carey, they didn't deserve for you to say, ain't nobody ask you that. Just like you went on that, your platform and said what you said. It wasn't like you was commentating for NBC. You weren't commentating for Peacock.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Had you said, you know what? Simone, look, Sonny Lee is the reigning Olympic all-around champ. We know Simone Biles here, she's the greatest gymnast ever. You know, maybe a little bit more experience,
Starting point is 00:11:55 but I trust this team. For you to say they've gotten lazy, you started bringing things into the play nobody even asked you about. Insulting everyone outside of Simone. Yes. And so Simone said, somebody hacked my Twitter.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I'm logged off. I don't know what to tell you. Oh, man. Classic. Roll the rock, hide your hand, and play victim. Yes. Your actions, you control your actions. Ocho,
Starting point is 00:12:30 you don't get, you don't, a lot of times people like, you don't get to hurt me and then tell me how long I get to grieve. Oh, that's a good one. Really? That's a good one, that's a good one. You know, that's what your parents just say
Starting point is 00:12:45 shut up yeah you ain't dang hurt yeah i did i tell you what give me the bill and let me put something on you and let me see let me see how you feel right but i i don't i don't get it now i mean simone can do what she wants to do. Simone wants to say, hey guys, you know, that's not you know, we do, we don't do bullying. But, no. It's not. You ain't finna take your shot at these women. And then what they do.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Go ahead. Hey, people talk about bullying and oh, they talk. Get off Twitter. Get off Instagram. Get off TikTok. That's what got you in trouble to begin with. Because when you put that mess out. Get off. She wasn't on the platform. Log out.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Yes. Log out. Yes. If she was on NBC and she's offering an analysis of what... Okay, she offered an analysis on her own platform. Okay, Simone Biles and the US gymnastics team, their supporters told you what they thought of you.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Oh, don't cry for me Argentina now. Oh, no. Don't cry for me Argentina. That's my jam. What do you know about that? She called him lazy. Do you understand what it takes to be a gymnast?
Starting point is 00:14:08 Yeah. And lazy is the last thing. Lazy is the last thing you are. But hey, neither here nor there. You can speak to something, Ocho, if you're around it. I can tell you what it was like growing up in my home because I was around my brother and sister. I can tell you how it was like to growing up in my home because I was around my brother and sister. I can tell you how my grandmother,
Starting point is 00:14:26 my grandfather raised us, so forth and so on. How do you get to speak to something that you're not around? It's not like, I can see if you've been in that situation, but to say lazy,
Starting point is 00:14:41 why would you even, why would you even say that about your teammates? Yeah. If they're cool, if y'all cool. You know, they're probably not cool.
Starting point is 00:14:49 And it's probably word of mouth. Somebody else hating from the outside that might be in that environment. So you're going to regurgitate based on something you heard that's probably not even true. And it ain't true
Starting point is 00:15:00 by looking at the goddamn results of what everyone has accomplished. Again, how many times, what, the last five Olympics, they won the all-around title? Now we got the last three years, we've got the last three all-around champs. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:15:16 And Simone won, got a gold and got a silver. We got gold. Yeah. Bro, come on now. Oh, and what did we get? We got gold and bronze in the all-around. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:15:33 That was good. Mm-mm. 20-year-old American wrestler, Alor, made history today with the gold medal in the women's 68 kilogram division becoming the youngest US wrestler
Starting point is 00:15:48 male or female to win an Olympic gold medal. You watch it. I watched it. She won 3-0. She's been dominating. Wait, hold on. This is the one. Did she wrestle the Asian that was really bow-legged?
Starting point is 00:16:04 The bow-legged Asian? Yeah, I think so. And at the end, did she wrestle the Asian that was really bow-legged, the bow-legged Asian? Yeah, I think so. And at the end, right before the match was over, she was smiling. She was smiling in her mouth. That might be the one. I couldn't be wrong. I didn't see. I just watched this match, and I watched.
Starting point is 00:16:19 She was sensational. She's great in the clinch. I watched the Cuban, Lopez. Hey, big boy. Five. Five, yeah. 41. Greco wrestling, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Ocho. Cuban great. I mean, the last, I mean, he got penalty points. Mm-hmm. But I think the last Olympics, they, he got penalty points. Mm-hmm. But I think the last Olympics, they said nobody scored on him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Strong. Ocho, like, I like wrestling. I like weightlifting. And so I follow it. I like freestyle a little better than I like Greco-Roman. But I thought Alexander Carrillo was the greatest Greco-Roman wrestler ever he lost to Rulon Gardner

Everything is one motion. I'm just showing you in slow motion right now. I'm trying to tell you, Ocho, when you go into the clinch like that, he's going to control your left arm. He's not going to let you get that kind of
Starting point is 00:19:15 separation. Now, see, he's not going to be able to do that. You got to think this back in 92. They wasn't that experienced back then.

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.
Starting point is 00:24:13 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, 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.

Starting point is 00:24:59 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 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,
Starting point is 00:25:24 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
Starting point is 00:25:53 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. American teenager Sam Watson set the world record in speed climbing, the fastest sport in the past Olympics. In speed climbing, athletes scale a 15-meter wall in around five seconds, scampering up a series of holes towards a red buzzer at the top of the route. Watson set the previous speed climbing world record of 4.79 seconds at the World Cup event in China earlier this year.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Today, the 18-year-old from Texas set a new speed climbing world record of 4.75 seconds. And Sam has already DM'd me looking for his money. Yes, yes. Well, God damn, Sam. Matter of fact, there we go. Hold on. That's another one. Tell him let's race.

Starting point is 00:31:02 We ain't Phelps. Their wingspan is bigger. That's not, listen, I'm aerodynamic. He got wide shoulders. My shoulders ain't wide, a decade. They like knifing through the water. We ain't felt. Their wingspan is bigger. That's not... Listen, I'm aerodynamic. He got wide shoulders. My shoulders ain't wide, so I need to be... I need to be cutting through
Starting point is 00:31:10 that goddamn water, boy, like an AK. You hear me? First of all... I'm telling you, when them thing... Listen, when them thing chop... You know why it's gonna be hard for you to swim, Mojo?
Starting point is 00:31:18 Why? Because you got low body fat. So you got to keep your suit... You, you got low body fat. So to keep yourself above the water that's why they outlawed those urethane suits because it took a lot of the buoyancy
Starting point is 00:31:32 you having to keep yourself up now that suit kept you above the water so now they don't let you wear the all over body suits like they did before yeah but I don't need no body suit you got to understand you got to know how to breathe and relax
Starting point is 00:31:44 you got to know how to breathe and relax. You got to know how to breathe and relax. That's all it is. That's all it comes down to. Breathing and relaxing. Sometimes I peek to my left or my right to see where my competition is, but most of the time, I'm always in such a deep... You back there by yourself. Ain't no competition where you at. Not about
Starting point is 00:31:59 when I used to race. Oh, okay. Yeah, when I used to race. The USA has opened up in a commanding lead. We have 29 more total medals than the people of the Republic of China. We have 86 total medals, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:32:15 We're number one in gold medals, two above China. We have 31 silver medals, which is 10 more than China. And we have 31 bronze medals, which is 10 more than China. And we have 31 bronze medals, which is 15 more than China. No, what do you call it? France. France is second.
Starting point is 00:32:35 And France and Great Britain are tied for second with 19 bronze medals. We have 31. China has 16. So right now We have 31. China has 16. Right now, we have 86. China has 59. They went by gold medal total, Ocho. Australia is third with 14. France is fourth
Starting point is 00:32:56 with 13. Great Britain has 12. South Korea, 11. Japan, 11. Italy, 9. But we opened up a commanding lead with, we still have the women's hurdles, the men hurdles,
Starting point is 00:33:12 both set, 4 and the 110. We still have, what, the 400 meter dash. We still have men's. 200 meter final. We have both relays. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:33:27 So, we, there's an outside chance we could get 100 medals. Oh, yeah. We could get 100 medals. Yeah, it's doable. It's doable.
Starting point is 00:33:36 But, damn, I'm about to have to get some more money, Ocho. Huh? Because, I think the world record is going to fall in the,
Starting point is 00:33:43 in the, the 400meter women's hurdle. Oh, when she's going to push her. She's going to push Sid to do it. She's going to push her. Sid ran easy today. And that 52-13 before Sid broke it, the world record was 52-16. And Sid just ran that in the semifinals.
Starting point is 00:34:06 And crew. Relaxing. Relaxing. Yeah. So, yeah, my, I got a, I called my accountant. Right. And they, they's like, well, is shelly coming in i was like nah she ain't gonna want to travel she ain't gonna want to travel with a million dollars cash so yeah
Starting point is 00:34:32 so we're gonna uh we're gonna uh we're gonna we reached out uh we're gonna reach out to uh all the athletes that were part of the mixed relay, uh, the men's, uh, mixed relay, um, uh, the women, um, that set the world record in the, uh, the final event.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Um, who else set a world record? Well, obviously we old Noah, uh, Bobby. Oh, he got a race me too,
Starting point is 00:34:59 man. Yeah. See, that's the, that's the fact. Matter of fact, let me tell you, it's a different kind of pressure. This is what we should do with it. Matter of fact, let me tell you it's a different kind of pressure.
Starting point is 00:35:06 This is what we should do. Would it? Now, before we pay these folk, right? Based on their field events whether it be field events or whether it be something track they have to compete one more time before receiving it.
Starting point is 00:35:16 They got to beat you? You can't tell me that's not a good idea. In order to get your money you got to compete with me. So, Noah, if you win the 102 then you got to compete with me and run the 102 in order to get your money you got to compete with me so noah if you win 102 then you got to compete with me and run 102 in order to get your money think if you want to win your money you got to compete with me in the 1500 those who had the um the with the 4x4 right yeah the mix relay they get they mix relay i got my i get i get rail and i get my homeboy i get my homeboy

Starting point is 00:37:24 Not an American record. I said world record. I thought I was clear. For me, I changed it. I said anybody. At first, it was just track and field. I said Noah Lyles. I said Sha'Carri.
Starting point is 00:37:38 I said Sid. I said Rye. I said Grant right. I said, uh, uh, uh, Grant Holloway. And, uh, and, and now Ochoa and I agreed 12, five a piece to give Gabby. That was it. We didn't put nothing else on anybody else with no gold medals, nothing else. No, no fencing, no gymnastics, no karate, no wrestling, no nothing. Yeah. And people don't listen, man.
Starting point is 00:38:04 They don't listen. Y'all, he's a... Oh, Hocker broke the world record. First of all, the world record in the 1,500 meters is 326 flat set by Hocker Mel Garouch, who's the greatest middle distance runner ever. That is the world record. They used to see how they be talking, too.
Starting point is 00:38:20 You see how they be talking in the tweets about, oh, yeah, you better, you better pay... Wait, bitch, what? Bro. Wait, who I'd be talking in the tweets about, oh yeah, you better, you better pay. Wait, bitch, what? Bro. Wait, who y'all talking to? Thank you.

Starting point is 00:45:05 Conference USA. Pitbull, who's from South Miami, has purchased naming rights to Florida International Football Stadium in a multi-year deal. He will pay the school $1.2 million annually for the next five years for the opportunity to re-up for another five years. The stadium also houses
Starting point is 00:45:21 Miami FC. FIU Board of Trustees approved the name to Pitbull Stadium in a vote on Tuesday. The stadium also houses Miami FC. FIU Board of Trustees approved the name to Pitbull Stadium in a vote on Tuesday. The stadium should rename. What stadium should re-rename Nightcap Stadium, Ocho? Hey, I like that. Nightcap Stadium. Who? Damn.
Starting point is 00:45:41 And they would only have night games, too. Savannah State nah what you mean nah nah okay alright yeah Savannah State but this is it's Unk and Ocho
Starting point is 00:46:03 so Savannah State gets first dibs you right I should name rename the field because the stadium is already Ted Wright is the name of the stadium who is
Starting point is 00:46:23 Ted Wright I think he's the first president of something or a president of savannah state i just i just played in the stadium i don't know who it was uh and after an off season full of back and forth the 49ers are now willing to listen to trade offers for brandon iuk give him the star wire huh? Man ain't playing with my dog, man. Hold on. What? Ted Wright was Savannah State's head football coach from
Starting point is 00:46:53 1947 to 1949. How you ain't know that? For three years? Nah, I want my name. That's gonna be Shannon Sharp Stadium. Shannon Sharp? Hey, I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I mean, I mean, for all of you done, you
Starting point is 00:47:09 know, might as well. No. I didn't say, Miss President, we need to talk. Who's the president? Who's the president now? I don't know. I think the interim, she stepped down. So I don't know who the, I think it's the lady though. I think it's, she stepped down. So I don't know who the... I think it's the lady, though.
Starting point is 00:47:25 I think it's the lady. Okay. She's still there? Okay. Oh, yeah. Yeah. After an off-season full of back and forth, the 49ers are now willing to listen to trade offers
Starting point is 00:47:42 from Brandon Aiyuk and have given the star wide receiver permission to negotiate a contract with other teams. That's a big change for the 49ers are not willing to listen to trade offers for Brandon. I you, and have given the star wire receiver permission to negotiate a contract with other teams. That's a big change for the 49ers. Do not have the same willingness to listen to trade offers at the start of camp. The Patriots, the Brown,
Starting point is 00:47:54 the Steelers have been in contact with the Niners are interested in trading for Brandon. I you. Oh, Joe, what's the best fit for Brandon? I you. And do you like the timing of this deal?
Starting point is 00:48:05 I know. I don't like the timing of this deal. The 49ers knew they didn't want to pay him. They think he's replaceable, for one, especially with the offense and the weapons that they do have. Offensive coordinator, head coach feels that they can put someone else in the same position and get the same type of production that Ayuk did because if he was what we consider special players, you don't let anybody walk and he would have been
Starting point is 00:48:31 paid. The best ideal fit for him, I wouldn't say the Patriots because I'm unsure about the quarterback position. I'm unsure about the quarterback position. I like the thought of him on the opposite side of George Pickens. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:48:49 Oh, I like that. I like the thought of giving Russell Wilson another weapon, another weapon that is consistent aside from George Pickens with the great run game that takes some of the pressure off of Russell Wilson where he doesn't have to put the ball in his hands and win through the air. But you do have two viable options that are very good. Ayuk is a very, very, very good route runner. So he's one of those.
Starting point is 00:49:15 I don't know about getting it off the muscle, but he can move the sticks, short routes, intermediate routes, long ball, deep balls. He can play on the inside. He can play on the outside. He can do a lot. So I'm excited for him. I don't like the timing of it.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Why make him wait? He's missing too much valuable time. Too much valuable time. You knew you didn't want to pay him. You knew you guys weren't going to see the eye-to-eye based on what he wanted and what I think he deserved. And you should have just got this done a long time ago, probably before, maybe during the draft, or maybe after.
Starting point is 00:49:46 I'm surprised that Cleveland's interested, considering that they gave Jerry Judy a lot of money. So can you imagine him opposite of Amari? Judy in the slot? But that's not fair. That's not fair. Now, that wouldn't be fair. That's three elite route runners on the field at the same time.
Starting point is 00:50:14 That goddamn Jerry Judy boy and Amari Cooper. You know where Amari Cooper and Jerry Judy from, huh? Yeah, from Florida. We're in Alabama. Okay, I just want to make sure. I just want to hear you say it. I just want to make sure you know. I just want to make sure you know. Yeah, them boys can cut a rug now boy can cut a rug
Starting point is 00:50:27 superbowl window 49ers still open close close no it's still it's still there no it's still there okay it's still there you got to think that they they're losing one individual that is i'm not saying it's in a disrespectful way it's a position that is replaceable if you think about the nfl in general receivers are a dime a dozen the special ones are not the top five the top three special but everyone outside of that is replaceable you can find and get that production from so many other players especially maybe the ones that they're going to have fill that spot. The way their
Starting point is 00:51:07 offenses run, they'll be fine. The way Shanahan calls plays, they'll be fine. Yeah, I think the thing is... That window is definitely still there. Jerry Judy's going to have to prove himself. He has a lot to prove. Yeah. Because he went in front of CD. He went in front of
Starting point is 00:51:23 Jefferson. He went in front of a lot of went from a just jefferson he went in front a lot of guys that's been all pro that's been multiple time pro bowl players he's gonna have to step up there's no excuse as well they weren't using me right i didn't have no quarterback you're in a system you have a quarterback now so now it's time to produce yeah i mean he's capable too he's capable i think the only thing or only issue with my guy, Judy, is with confidence. Once that confidence kicks in and you let that that that that it factor that I know you possess, you know, you're going to be fine. Let that Florida, Florida swag and Florida attitude and aura. Let it let it show in your game. And I think he'll be all right. Yeah, I agree with you, Ocho. I just like, look, y'all know y'all weren't going to sign IU because you got Brock Purdy coming up next year. You're going to have to give him $40, $50 million.
Starting point is 00:52:14 So how are you going to have him? I mean, Deebo, you got Big Trent. Big Trent wanted to be the highest paid tackle. He's thought of as the best tackle in football. He wants a new deal. You just made Christian McCaffrey the highest paid. You He's thought of as the best tackle in football. He won some New Deal. You just made Christian McCaffrey the highest paid. You got Debo on a big contract. George Kittle is the highest paid tight end in football.
Starting point is 00:52:32 You got Nick Bosa. Yeah! I thought Kelsey was the highest paid tight end. What you call it? You got Nick Bosa, one of the top paid defensive linemen. You got Fred Warner, one of the highest paid Hey linemen. You got Fred Warner, one of the highest paid. Hey, well, Fred good, boy.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Yeah. Hey, well, Fred good. Out of Fred and is it Zaire? What's the linebacker from the Colts? Is it Zaire Franklin? Yeah. I might be saying his name wrong. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:59 Boy, you know, smaller, undersized, sideline to sideline. Man, them boys nasty, boy. Mm-hmm. I wish I could have played in this era, man. What do you think about it? How do you think you would fare in this era? Huh? I'm just asking, how do you think you would fare in this era if you was in your prime?
Starting point is 00:53:19 Bad stop, boy. I'm just asking. I'm just asking. What do you think? Put it to you like this here I would have more catches than I had if I played 14 years
Starting point is 00:53:28 in this era right I would have more catches than what I had in the 14 years in the era that I played in I bet you that and touchdown
Starting point is 00:53:36 I don't know a whole lot else but I know that yeah hey listen they pass the ball like it ain't it ain't like the cows
Starting point is 00:53:43 like the cows coming home I mean it's crazy who led the league in Russia last year who led the league in Russia Christian McCaffrey Hey, listen, they pass the ball like it ain't – Yes! Like the cow's coming home. I mean – It's crazy. Who led the league in Russia last year? Who led the league in Russia? Christian McCaffrey? Yeah, McCaffrey, I think. I might be wrong, but I'm assuming he did.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Bro, I had – Yeah, he had rushing yards and touchdowns. McCaffrey had, what, 50 on the yards? How many yards did McCaffrey have last year? He was first with 14.59. Bro, I blocked with four guys that had that td had 2017 50 1500 uh porters had 1500 1500 jamal had 1400 so how many balls you think i'm gonna catch it we running the ball like that we didn't It wasn't no passing error.
Starting point is 00:54:26 And see, that's what I tell people. People look at Jerry. Jerry played in a running error and got 1,500 catches and 22,000 yards. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, he had a great quarterback, but they ran the ball. Yeah. They won't get Jerry that ball now.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Oh, yeah, Jerry going to get the rock now. He should. They're going to get in that ball. And nobody have to think about it. They won't get Jerry that ball now. Oh, yeah, Jerry going to get the rock now. He should. They're going to get him that ball. And nobody have to think about it. They're throwing the ball. It's hard. It's hard.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood,
Starting point is 00:56:30 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.
Starting point is 00:57:08 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.

I mean, we won the gold in 84 and 88 and 90 in 2000, 2004. The women won the gold in 84 and 88 and 92 and 96 and in 2000. Bro, we've been dominating. I don't think they understand that. They just think about the run-in. The Olympics just started in 2008,
Starting point is 01:06:12 guys. I do know that, right? The Olympics just didn't start when you guys started winning the 100 and 200 in the men's and women's. The Olympics been going on since 1896.

Starting point is 01:08:14 We dominated the 400. We dominated... Like I said, if you want to talk about dominant, you go back and look at our 4x4. Yeah, we've lost a couple. But if you go back to 1960s our 4x4. Yeah, we've lost a couple. But if you go back to 1960, Wilma Rudolph. Did they forget about Wilma Rudolph?
Starting point is 01:08:31 You know they don't know about them people, man. If you go back to 1960, the Tennessee, the Bales, I think Tennessee won the Tennessee State, right? Because I think they really, the Tennessee, the Bales, I think Tennessee won the Tennessee State, right? Because I think they really, the Tennessee, the Bales, they won the Olympics.
Starting point is 01:08:51 But that would be great to talk to, to talk about Michael about that. Mm-hmm. To talk about that, the 400 and how dominant we've been in that event. Our quarter miles, I mean, we go back. The Southern girls. Yeah, we had Gayle Devers, Valerie Briscoe, Hooks. If Gayle Devers doesn't hit that hurdle
Starting point is 01:09:15 in 92, she hit the last hurdle, Ocho. She was glad to win the 100 and the 110 hurdles in the Olympics. And she hit the hurdle she did exactly what uh lolo lolo jones did yeah yeah but she won the hundred and she won the hundred and the two she won the hundred and 92 and 96. but we we dominant i mean then then Flojo was in 88. And then Evelyn Asher was in 84.

Starting point is 01:10:26 who would it be on the team and which team would win? And ain't no NBA player going to be able to run NFL. NBA? NBA? NBA? Man, them boys slow, man. I mean, if you take Bob Hayes, you take Dada, you take James Jett, that's three guys right now. And Willie Gault is over.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Willie Gault, Ron Brown. I mean, you had guys that actually ran in the Olympics and won medals. Yeah. How the hell? Ain't no NBA player can run track that fast. I mean, what you want, Russell? You take Russell Westbrook, okay, he's fast. You take Ant-Man. Who else you got?
Starting point is 01:11:17 I can't even think. I'll take some defensive linemen. I'll take Miles Garrett. I'll take some defensive linemen. I'll take Miles Garrett. I'll take – Micah Parson because he fast. I'm going to take D. Lyman. What's the guy that went number one overall to Houston? Oh, from Alabama.

Starting point is 01:11:48 and I'll run any NBA players in any era. Yeah, them boys. And Miles Garrett, 275. Mario was like 290. Remember Davion was fast. He ran full fast. Davion Clowney, yeah.

Starting point is 01:12:39 I would like to see something like that yeah that'd be dope no something like that yeah but that'd be dope no i don't think people realize like how fast like like really really fast nfl players are i don't think they just realize it and how they don't because most of the guys that size because you're watching it from tv so it doesn't give you a good idea on how fast people are really moving
Starting point is 01:13:08 it does you no justice watching it from TV even if you're at the game sitting in the stands it does you no justice unless you feel level you gotta be on the sidelines so you can actually see it up close and be like oh my goodness on how fast some boys be moving well hold on Jadavion Clowney
