The average cost is $26.25. So as the lady was explaining, person by person would pretend like they were getting up to leave, like they were getting ready to go to the bathroom or something like that. And each one they left. Why y'all do that? I wish I see,

man, listen, and see, and you wonder why I tipped the way I do when I go out, when I do happen to go places, see stuff like this. Like that's, that's pointless.

If you don't have, if you don't have the money to eat, if you don't have the money, the tip, you know, at least leave something, man, but don't dine and dash,

you know, these, these, yeah, come on. There are the service. these people rely on these tips man these people rely on these tips because they know you don't go to even if you don't tip pay for the ish that you ate pay for the stuff that you drank okay you don't want to leave a tip but you know hey it's normally on the thing parties of six or more you got it's go charge you 18%, so forth and so on.

Okay, I get that. Let's just say it's two people. Don't do that. If you don't want to tell, and it's two of you guys, three of you guys, that's fine. But don't you take your ass

to these people's restaurant and eat their food and then run up out of there. $26 a piece. Damn. On a piece. Damn. On a $400 tab. Really, people? Really?

Really? See what I mean? See how bad times are? See what I mean? Great story to piggyback. Ocho, that ain't about no time. That's people not being jackass. See?

Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. And that's not something that you decide. You made a con... When you walked into that restaurant, you already know you were going to eat the people's issues and you were going to do what you did. I just hate that. I really do, Ocho. I hate...

I mean, I've been in a situation like, been in the Whole Foods and the guy homeless guy come in there, bro, I'm like, bro. And he all... I said, bro, don't talk. I said, what you need?

What we see, that's who we are as a society. We've got to stop thinking that this is so beneath us as a society. No, this is exactly who we are as a society. It is. It is sad. Yeah.

Times haven't got that hard that 16 people decide to go out to eat, and each one of you guys say, you know what? Nah, I ain't gonna play. Even if I'm with a party, Ocho, and we go out, I'll pay for it before I let somebody do that bull job. But

I used to go out with the guys like, alright, hey, check this out, bro. You did that bull job last time. Yeah. Not this time. Go, check this out, bro. You did that bull job last time. Yeah, not this time. Go in your back pocket, bro, because bring your ass. Right. Every time we go out, all of a sudden,

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. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?

No. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask Attorney General... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.

Please do. to hear the whole story listen to fiasco iran contra on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts a wisconsin man apparently took out a $375,000 life insurance policy, faked his own drowning so he could abandon his family and flee to Europe. Ocho, would you fake your own death? Absolutely not. I mean, he faked his death, tried to get away from his wife, get away from his kids.

For one, I'm not faking my death because I love my kids. I want to be, you know, have too much fun with them. But he must have been miserable. He must have been really miserable. You know how bad it has to be as a family man with kids and a wife to fake your death and want to leave and use insurance money? Like, logically, think about that. It has to be really bad. I'm trying to figure out how long he thought, Ocho, how long he thought $375,000.

Were you going to get another job or something? Well, it depends on his lifestyle. It depends on how he lived. You know, $375,000 could be a fortune to some people, Uncle, especially if you live way below your means or you're not a spender like that. Well, you got to play real. Does he have a place already paid for? Is he going to get a car?

Uncle, you got to understand. Everybody don't move like that. You feel me? Some people could spend... So how are you going to get around? Are you just going to walk? I mean, you're going to be... I mean, you're going to the UK.

What? He in Europe, Uncle. He was moving somewhere in europe like you get your little moped you're good okay but what you're gonna eat where you're gonna live um some of the people only make 375 000 in their lifetime i'm sure he was gonna be straight now come on now yeah somebody that works that works a a minimum wage job yeah if you work at a fast food chain probably maybe not but i'm what i'm just saying i don't know how old i don't know how old how old was he ass he looked like he about it oh so let's just say for the sake of argument he spends 20 000 a year he's in his mid-40s he spent 20 000 a year yeah in 20 years that's gone

that's that's that's just if he just spent 20 000 yeah can you live off 20 000 a year. Yeah. In 20 years it's gone. That's if he just spends $20,000. Yeah. Can you live off $20,000 a year? Who? Ocho Cinco. Yeah. Yeah. I made that big stress. Listen, I can stretch a hundred dollars. You cannot. You want to bet? You cannot.

Did you hear what I just said? You cannot live off $20,000 a year, Ocho. Stop it. I can stretch $100 for a month. How are you going to tell me? So where are you living? So how much is that apartment you got right now?

This ain't my place. The apartment that you've been flashing, all the apartments you're looking at, how much are they going to cost? Oh, that? I can't disclose how much that is. Exactly.

I'm just going to say for the sake, let's just say, I'm going to say, Ocho, I'm concerned, Miami concerned, I'm going to say

it's going to cost you $3,000 a month. That's $36,000 right there. I like that. Without lights, without anything. You got a cell phone? That's got number, huh?

You got a cell phone? Yeah, my cell phone free. I'm with AT&T. Okay. Hey, you have to understand, you thinking from your perspective too, you know? No, I'm thinking from a logical perspective.

Hold on, middle-aged white man, you know, married, three kids, you know, he ain't living like that, man. He ain't living like that. Ocho, $375,000 is not a lot of money for a lifetime, bro. Unc, you comparing these regular folks to you? People going to make $375,000 in their lifetime. How you going to tell them that?

Ocho, the average person makes $50,000 a year. What are you talking about? What? Unc, boy, you out of touch with reality. What's the average salary? What's the average salary for an American? In this economy? The economy doesn't matter.

It costs more, but people are still making $48,000, $50,000 a year. No, they are not. No, they are not. Watch. Tell Ash to look it up real quick. Boy, they are not. No, they are not. Watch. Tell Ash to look it up real quick. Boy, people out here struggling, boy. 50,000 a year will. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

What is it? Man, you tripping. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average... Hold on. Now you don't want to listen. Okay, go ahead of Labor, the average... Hold on. Oh. Now you don't want to listen. Okay, go ahead.

the average U.S. salary in 2023 was fifty nine thousand three hundred and eighty four dollars. That's average. Now, granted, that factors in the LeBron James, the Shohei Ohtani, and that factors in the people that's making twenty thousand. But even if you made twenty thousand a year in 20 years, that's more than $375,000. So everybody, everybody struggling. But because the U.S. Department said, this is what everybody make, this is minimum. Okay. Everybody's great.

Now we got all financial issues in the goddamn economy. But you listen to what that chart got to say. Ocho, listen. Yes, groceries are higher. Draft prices are higher. Rent is higher. That doesn't diminish what you make. Yes, it costs more to live.

Yes. So that means we're not making enough, right? So you agree? Ocho, that's beside the point. You said they're not making it all i'm saying is it costs more to live so yes it's gonna cost more the point the point of the matter was you said 375 wasn't a lot so we don't know we don't know how this man lives he's going to europe well he's going to europe for one right stay with me now yes he's going to europe to live so he's swimming and he's swimming

You're not saying that kind of money in the regular world, huh? Ocho, I'm saying 375 to last you a lifetime. Yes, if he gets a job and live modestly, that's one thing. You said the man can have 375 and he going to be straight.

Where? If you got people that would never see 375, you got somebody that gets a lump sum of 375 that lives below his means and lives the right way. In this economy? He's going to Europe. He's not here.

He left. That economy worse than the other one. What are you talking about? Where? And you... We don't live over there how you know i read oh don't you can't listen you can't listen you can't listen nothing they put out

That's something I would need to see. We need to come back to this topic because this is a great topic.

Let me just say. This is the great topic because. What is the average? What part of Europe? Okay, what part of Europe are you talking about? I don't, we don't know. Eastern Europe. You don't know?

Eastern Europe. We don't know. So that. He's going to Eastern Europe. We don't know. Eastern Europe. We don't know. So hold on. So that's $37,500 a year. Now, you said he can live off that. That means he's not getting a job and he's living off $37,500 a year. Why wouldn't he get a job?

Why wouldn't he have a job? Because that was the argument, Ocho. I said that's not a lot of money. Now, if he's going to get a job, yes. He's going to have a job? Because that was the argument, Ocho. I said that's not a lot of money. Now, if he's going to get a job, yes. He's going to get a job. He ain't going to Europe like he's some damn. He just robbed a goddamn bank. Ocho.

It don't work. Ocho, let me see. The man faked his death. So you think he's going to go get a job? Yes. Do you know how they do that? Yeah. Do you know how they get caught? You don't think you know how to create a new Yeah! Do you know how they get caught?

It's very possible. People do it all. Yes, it's possible. But you got to make it. But Ocho, think about it. Think about all the people that did things and went to countries.

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. 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. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No.

It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask Attorney General... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you. Please do.

To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That's a good topic. I like that. Good topic. One thing about it, we'll never I like that. Good topic. One thing about it, we'll never know. Yeah. Hell nah.

I doubt you don't want to know how to live off... Oh, I already know. I'm not finna have to live off no 375 for the rest of my life. Hell nah. And then, Ocho, what happens

when they freeze that... Well, hopefully he got the check because they put where you gonna catch an american check at in in the uk and listen hey you saw the movie uh he must be the cast he must be the cast to check hey you saw the movie catch me if you can yeah i do frank abagnale. Yeah, I watched the movie. Oh, man. Boy, so many things you can do with that identity, man.

I'm trying to figure out how y'all like, I'm trying to figure out how y'all talk about I moved to Gold Coast. It's $375 for the rest of your life. I'm just trying to figure out how I'm moving the goalpost. So where are you living at? What's your rent? Even the dingiest place

go charge you what? Let's you go get what you're going to get on me. You know somebody that got a section that you're going to pay a five, what's your pay? Let's just say, Ocho, you get one of these thousand dollar a month. Okay. That means you can only spend $37,500, Ocho. Yeah.

You ain't about to have no power. You ain't going to have no air conditioning. You ain't going to have no lights. What you going to eat? Hey, there's a way. Because before you think of that, you already't gonna have no lights. What you gonna eat? There's a way, because before you figure that, you already have a format and a plan out. You got everything already planned out before you do all that.

I don't know what his plan was. I'm not sure if he made it. I'm not sure how he got caught. But it's something that happens all the time. might this just happened to be the one who did get caught man i'm just trying to figure out but look i understand they're like yeah if you lived in miss i'm trying to think if you lived in mississippi but still i mean i

understand the cost of everything is elevated so when you understand the cost of everything is elevated. So when you factor the cost of everything is elevated and you weigh that by making $37,500 a year, that's the problem where people are struggling, Ocho. It's not the fact that, okay, we're not, because they say people that make $150,000 is basically living check to check in America because eggs and bread and everything is elevated. Price of gas is elevated. The cost to buy a home is elevated. The price to rent a home or an apartment is elevated. So if everything is elevated, it's not that people aren't making money. It's just it costs more to live. So if it's costing you $150,000 and to have some people, and I'm not

saying all, obviously, you're probably living in some place like San Francisco or New York or some place like that, Ocho, you know what I'm saying? Where rent, you're paying $3,000, $4,000, $5,000 a month in rent. Yeah. Just imagine if you're paying $5,000 a month in rent. Yeah.

Just imagine if you're paying $5,000 a month in rent. UK ain't cheap, Ocho. It's not. I don't know. I don't know. Is everybody living in the UK ain't living like ****? No. Everybody in America ain't living, Ocho. Why do you think

people complaining? I'm just saying. Ocho, if I made $50,000 a year and gas was $1.33 a gallon and I could get three loaves of bread, that's something entirely different. Think about what it cost to buy a house back in

the 60s. Think about what it cost to buy a house back in the 60s. Think about what it cost to buy a car in the 60s. You could buy a car, you could buy a house. I mean, now a house is a car. Yeah.

Yeah. You ain't buy, you ain't buy no three bedroom, two bath house for no 60 grand. That's what it costs. And your monthly payment

will probably 75 dollars, 80 dollars a month. You got to live grand? That's what it costs. And your monthly payment will probably $75, $80 a month. You got to live within your means. Live within your means and act your wage. I say it all the time. If you got a certain amount coming in, if you have a lump sum

coming in, you have a plan to live within that means and make that bitch rich. All I'm saying is, people, if I gave you guys 300 let's just say somebody gave you 375 000 you retiring because if that's not if that's a lot of money you can retire kick your feet up like i'm good hey people in the chat they rich because everybody said 375 000 ain't no money ocho when you och, you talking about for the rest of your life, Ocho. See, I think you're getting confused talking about $375,000 a year.

I'm talking about for the rest of your life. The rest of your natural life. Somebody told me I'm going to flip it. Bro, you're going to be back to work tomorrow, you're going to be back to work tomorrow. You're going to be back to work tomorrow because if that's all your money you got and you're willing to risk it, I already know what you're about to do.

Somebody said he... We're going to be at tomorrow? Back working. Hey, no. Ocho. Ocho, who taking their last and try to flip it? Man.

Hey, boy. Y'all here, boy. 75% of the people say no, they couldn't live off 375 for the rest of their life. Hey, Ocho, what they gonna do? They gonna play our parlays? They gonna play our draft team parlay like i'm look i mean the thing was ocho if you look at it the way we grew up in the house we had we didn't have to pay rent on it but you know my grandmother living off 197 dollars every two months right you're gonna have to eat you're gonna have to do some because i remember man i ain't no so if your mama your grandma bringing in 197 every two weeks you tell me what what what steak and rims you think you eating right oh man that was funny yeah i put wrong

I know what it's like to make $100 a week. I do. I know that's not a lot of money. And I know with the cost of things now, I'm like, well, damn. And that's what people are having a problem with. It's not that they're not making

more money. It's that the cost of living is going up and it's eating into the money that they're making. So if I'm making this, Ocho, I don't want prices to stuff that I need to do this also. I need my money to go this way

and I need, like, y'all be gradual with bread and gas and food prices. I need to creep. Hell, let's move it up at the same pace. I got to get some tissue. Y'all got me crying, man. Man. Somebody talking about move to Uganda. crying man man somebody
