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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
She was sensational.
She's great in the clinch.
I watched
the Cuban, Lopez.
Hey, big boy.
Five.
Five, yeah.
41. Greco wrestling, yeah.
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.
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
he was going for four medals
he had been unbeaten
unscored on in a
decade
unbeaten
unscored on he was blanking folks
this young
he ain't young 41 years of age
yeah he took his boots off wrestling shoes off
set them in the middle of the floor that's it yeah what else you got to prove you got five
goals you got five olympic goals you're a world champ you're the greatest greco-roman wrestler
regardless of the vision yeah in the history yeah I remember
them days man
did you wrestle?
yeah my brothers and cousins
oh nah nah
I wrestled in high school I wrestled at beach
I was state champ in 1993
I'll never forget man
damn

Yeah.
So what'd you wrestle?
You wrestled in the 60 kilo?

Look at my technique.
What you talking about, man?
Look at my technique.
State champ.
Man, you too far away, man, they finna scoop your ass.
You see how I get up under there?
See how I get up under there?
Ocho, you think that guy gonna let you have that kind of distance?
Oh, he, no, wait.

Okay.
Boom.
I locked and I dip.
When I go down, I come up under him.
First of all, he's not going to let you do that because he's going to control your left
arm.
He's not going to let you do that.
No, no, he's not.
Now he ain't going to be able to control it.
He ain't going to be able to control it because you got to remember,
I'm all in one motion. 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
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. They wasn't
that experienced back then.
92. Hey, 92. State
wrestling champ, boy.
Look me up. Google it. I bet
you'll see it. I want to see that.
Yeah, it's there. The Florida boys,
y'all different. Oh, yeah. We do

Hey, guys. Y'all believe Ocho was a state
wrestling champ? Yeah, it's
on Google
Tell Ash to Google it

God damn, I'm out of breath

I'm joking.

Crazy.
You know,
I would like back then too.
So I would like,
I would be back there.
You still are.
Oh,
don't make me come up by this shirt,
but I told you,
I told you before I first show.
Listen to me.
Listen,
our first show is August 22nd,
right?
Yes.
And Atlanta, right? Yes. In Atlanta, right?
Yes.
I guarantee you,
now we can make
a little smaller bet,
say like $100,
$100 wager.
Okay.
I guarantee you
when I see you in Atlanta,
I start,
remember the show
where I had on the tank top?
Yeah.
And you say I look like
a praying mantis?
I didn't say that,
the chat said that,
but okay, yeah, I got you.
Okay, well the chat said that. But okay, yeah, I got you. Okay.
Well, the chat said that.
I weighed myself the next morning.
I was 178 pounds.
Because you remember, I was playing soccer.
I played soccer every Saturday in the Jamaican League out there in Fort Lauderdale.
I guarantee you by August 22nd, when I see you, I'm going to be 200 pounds. 200 pounds or better.
All muscle. All right, listen. I'm going to be 200 pounds. 200 pounds or better. All muscle.
Alright, listen.
I'm going to get a scale. I'm going to bring the scale
with me so we don't have no excuses.
I'm going to weigh myself on stage right before the show starts.
That gave me
a little short-term goal to strive for.
Let me show on.
I can build myself. I can push my body
to a point to where i can just
i can do whatever i want i can i can i can fluctuate i could be skinny and play soccer
i could i could i could i could i could bulk up and look like the Hulk i could do whatever that's
that's like a giraffe saying i can do anything i want to be i can be short i can be tall no you
can't you're a giraffe but this this is different, though. This is different.
Listen, I've already bulked up.
I've already got the 215 before, just seeing how far I can push the body.
And I let myself go because I wanted to play soccer and I need to be able to run up and down the field and be fluid.
Now I'm trying to prove a point to you where, listen, I could bulk back up and then just lose it right again, which I'm going to have to do when soccer season starts back up anyway. Man, y'all start putting that
on me. I didn't say that. The chat said,
Ocho looked like a praying mantis. I did not say that.
You did say that.
Oh, I
said that or the chat said that?
Nah, you said I look like a praying mantis.
And Rell got there and
she piggybacking off you
talking about, yeah, you do need to get in the gym.
You getting kind of small.
I say, say less.
And it's really her saying it.
Like, okay, boom.
Matter of fact, and when I get my size back,
I'm finna start posting thirst traps.
Yeah, now what?
And I know she watching.
Now what?
I'm Michael Kasson, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company. Now what? 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 fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions.
In just a second, I'm going to ask...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
Your hands can't hit what your eyes can't see. Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me,
an eight-part Audible original.
Guided by his own words,
this series explores Ali's life and legacy
through never-before-heard audio recordings
and discussions with those who knew him best.
Muhammad had this real sense
of his own personal values and principles,
things he believed in, his own sense of conviction,
those convictions never wavered.
Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali,
and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey,
Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring
to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life
through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez,
Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas. It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the
world, you know. As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity. There's no debate
that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime.
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.
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.
Let's line that up.
Oh, you want to rock

You can do it.
No, I can do it.
Tell him, tell him, line it up.

I go to Texas.
Matter of fact, we're going to be into.
Listen, we're going to Dallas.
Yeah, right.
We're going to Houston.

He think he could climb because he ain't got...
Well, I'm out the city, boy.

Yeah.

Jumping over things.
You ain't climbing no trees.

It's a different kind of pressure outside the Olympics.
You think there's going to be more
pressure outside the Olympics than in the Olympics?
Yeah, with me?
Having to compete against me? You got to think
about it. I'm going to talk you off your game
before we even start.
That ain't got nothing to do.

See, you doing me this.
How my teachers did me in high school.
Do you know how far 1,500 meters swimming is?
Yes, I know because I used to swim the 1,500 when I was in junior high.
I know.
First of all, they just brought that.
That's just been to the Olympics in the last two years, the last two Olympics.
Yeah, in the Olympics the last two years. I'm telling you what I did in training to prepare for football.
I was you doing the 1500.
Oh, Lord have mercy.
How do you think
I got my lungs the way they are now?
Talking.
That too.
No lie. Liberty City. Check it out.
That's a hundred, 1500
meters is a hundred, it's basically
a hundred meters less than a mile. Yeah, that ain't nothing. Swimming a mile, 1500 meters is a hundred. It's basically a hundred meters less than a mile.
Yeah.
That ain't nothing.
Swimming a mile,
running a mile.
No swimming.
Oh,
I'm where you are.
Boy,

Opelika,

You know,
I used to swim the whole canal from one end to the other.
Oh,
I tell you no lie.
I,
and his gators in there his gait is in there.
His gait is in snapping turtles.
Hey, as a matter of fact, Ocho,
you can issue the challenge because we're going to have Body Fink on later this week.
Yeah, Bobby!
Yeah, Bobby! I'm in your chest,
Bobby. He might be watching. I know he's
watching. I know he's watching. I'm sure
he wouldn't mind putting up the 50 grand that
he won from me against you to try to get another 50. 50 hey well listen he gonna be out of 50 i know that
okay he gonna be out of 50 he come playing with me and we got a race to charles hadley pool i need
home field advantage man look here you can race in your bath tub and that bad gonna beat you
hey look at my technique look at my technique no ocho my technique. No, Ocho. No, Ocho.
No, it's here.
Nah, Unc.
Unc, see?
That's why I know you slow.
You can't even,
see, you too big.
You can't even get your shoulders around, Unc.
You got to come on back here, man.
No, you can't go back. That's too long.
Ocho, go watch it.
Hey.
Look at Phelps.
Look at Phelps and Ledecky.
They like knifing through the water.
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
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
Um,
who else set a world record?
Well,
obviously we old Noah,
uh,
Bobby.
Oh,
he got a race me too,
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.
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.
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

I'm here to procreate now.
I need to see your athletic abilities.
Well, she can go, boy.
We went to the gym one time and we raced
just playing around
about 50 meters,
50 yards, 50 yards.
We raced.
I didn't open up,
but when I looked to my left,
she was on my hip.
I said, you know what?
Yeah, you the one. That's all I need to see.
That's all I need to see.
That was it. After that,
nine months later, here we go. We got another superstar in the family.
So,
uh,

Nah.
We, hey, we are down.
Okay.
Hey, listen.
Hold on.
First of all, time out.
I think I was very specific.
Right.
World record.
Yeah, people, they don't listen.
They don't listen.
They don't listen.
World record.
Not Olympic record.
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.
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.
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.
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. I know, first of all,

Okay.
God's been good to me.
Not just, and see, I don't want people to say, well, God, no, God's been good to me
my entire life.
You look at where I came from to where I am.
I mean, a lot of people think, well, no, no, no, no.
This is not 23 leading to 24 lead going to 25.
Now this goes back from 1980s 1968
yes sir when god put it in my mom and put it in my mom's heart to say hey my kids would be better
if they were raised by my mom and dad on a farm in rural south georgia instead of being with her
me in south side of chicago so god's been great to me and so he's put me in a situation where I can bless a few people now.
Yeah.
Normally that's not how I operate.
Oh,
Joe,
you know,
you and I got caught up in the moment.
We normally like when I do things you don't know about.
That's how I like to operate.
Yes,

ocho and i ain't gonna miss no meals the kids not gonna miss no meals we're gonna be a we're gonna
be like i say god god put put us in a situation that ocho and i are very fortunate enough we'll
be able to bless some of the athletes that competed to show that nightcap really appreciate the effort that you displayed.
The sportsmanship, the fight that you displayed, we appreciate that.
And we wanted you to know that nightcap, we appreciate that.
And we're in a situation that we can bless some of you guys. Now, what I would like to do is get with sponsors for 2028 to definitely increase that 37.5 to maybe be gold medal you
in 100,000, 50,000 for silver, and 25 for bronze.
So that's what I would like to do.
But guys, we good.

I didn't say anything about American records.

let me say a prayer real quick
yeah boy you said

as soon as you let you get your foot in the door
why you talking about it
Mr. Worldwide is headed to
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
I mean, Christian McCaffrey led with 1,400.
That's the lowest win total in a long time. When's the last somebody led the league with that few yards rushing?
Because normally, you know, D. Henry,

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.

In the fall of 1986,
Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal
that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,
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.

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, things he believed in, his own sense of conviction, those convictions never wavered. Hosted by Muhammad's
wife, Lani Ali, and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey, Ali and Me goes beyond
the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life through conversations with
Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas. It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know.
As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity.
There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime.
Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible.

All right.
All right.
Hold that thought.
But, Ocho, Jamaica, you guys have been sensational from 2008 until 2020.
But do you know the stretch that the Americans were on?
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,
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.
They don't understand that.
They don't understand that. They don't understand that.
Y'all got the fastest man
to ever breathe.
There ain't no taking that away from him. He is
that.
And the bigger
the meat, the more the
expectation, the better he ran.
And you guys had
Shelly Ann and Elaine Thompson-Hara
and Sharika Jackson
Sharon Stewart
y'all have had some, come on now
y'all talk about
25 years, y'all do know the Olympics
started in 1896
so
y'all do know we had Flojo right we had evelyn ashford
we're on the tires what's the other one what's the other one name um uh that went to texas southern
the southern bell we were so bad oh joe we took we took our college track team, the Southern Bell with Tennessee State and one. And what was that? 60 and 64?
68?
What's a she had she had braces
on. what's the name
because we used to dominate the Sprint
so Joe we dominated
yeah yeah but you know I think
all they remember is the run that
Usain had yes
they don't realize
before that
that we dominated.
They had a nice run.
We were on the run like that.
In the 60s, we dominated the 100.
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?
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.
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
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.
So we dominant.
We dominant.
Not just friends, too.
Hurdles.
I mean, but hey, the Jamaicans has had a run.
Omar McLeod won the gold, I think, in Rio.
Hanson Parchment won it in Tokyo.
But my... Grant Holloway got this.
Yeah.
But you look at the match.
Goddamn right.
You look at us all.
Lanny Ray asks,
if you could pick four NFL players
and four NBA players from any era
to be on the four-by-one relay teams,
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.
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?
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.
No, no.
He went from North Carolina State.
The year Reggie Bush came out.
Remember when Reggie came out, he went number one?
Oh, Mario –
Mario Williams.
I'll take Mario Williams. I'll take Mario Williams.
I'll take Miles Garrett. I'll take two other linemen
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.
Duran
4'6 at 300 pounds.
Boy,
that's unreal.
VD, Vernon Davis ran 4'3
at 250.
Look at Ingram.
Ingram ran like 4'4
at 4'4.
No.
No. Now, I would like to see you remember
ABC used to have the world the fastest
man when they had Daryl Green
Rod Woodson, Herschel Walker
all those guys
Daryl Green back in the day
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
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
ran he ran ankle leg on his 4x1 on how fast some boys be moving. Well, hold on. Jadavion Clowney ran.
He ran ankle leg on his 4x1.
Dude, 260.
Yeah.
Fast.
Jordan Davis.
Dude ran.
Didn't he run like a sub-five second flat at 355, 360?
Yeah.
Come on, man.
Man, come on now.
Boy's big, bro.
Yeah, and they moving.
Guys not supposed to move that fast, Ocho.
When we coming out, Ocho, we ain't have no guys.
I mean, it was-
Not that size.
No, no.
Not a that size.
Hell no.
South Carolina got a guy on the football team that qualified.
He ran like a 20.2.
Dude, like 250.
Big boy.
I forgot his name.
Yeah.
Nah, I don't think the NBA players could outrun.
Chad, y'all really think
if you took four NBA players from
any era, they could outrun
four NFL players? Do y'all really
think that? No.
They just talking.
They just talking.
Niggas say, they out here calling
Ocho Gump.
You really fake that you did.
They say you like Forrest Gump.
You know Forrest do everything.
He play table tennis.
He did it all.
Listen, but I do do all that stuff.
Listen, when I talk about things
and we talk about the Olympics and stuff like this,
I'm giving you my life experiences
on what I've done throughout the entirety of my life
before football came along.
These are all real events.
I play ping pong.
I play table tennis.
In Overtown, I'm known for table tennis in Overtown.
That's what I do.
Ask my homeboy Buckwheat.
Ask my homeboy Buckwheat out of Overtown, man.

It's not even close.
Not even close.
I mean, y'all just saw Xavier Worthy
run 4-2-1.
That boy is getting out, bro.
Yes!
And plus, they don't run like that.
So there's never a reason
for them to open up.
Because the court's only 94 feet. Where they gonna run?
Out the tunnel?
Run to the locker room?
They ain't got no reason to build up no speed
like that, so they don't train like that.
Yeah.
Ocho, can you cook?
Who?
You.
Man, come on, man.
Listen, when you hired me as a co-host, you were supposed to do your homework.
I did.
You were supposed to do your homework on some of the things I did to see if we fit,
if the chemistry would be great, you know,

you know,
some of my life experiences.
Now, you know I went
to culinary art school
at La Cordon Bleu now.
Come on, man.
You're supposed to know this stuff, man.
One of the reasons
why I was able to get real,

I have the quality
of being able to cook.
That's it.
I thought they called you,
I thought you got a call, they called you Lizard.
Huh? Nah, they ain't, nah, nah, nah.
