Summary

Deebo Samuel and Joe Burrow discuss the 2026 NFL Combine's record-breaking speed metrics, engage in playful banter about their own combine performances and athletic abilities, and shift into a substantive discussion about FDA approval processes, pharmaceutical industry influence, and food safety standards in the United States versus other countries.

Insights
  • Modern athletic training has fundamentally changed combine preparation—athletes now train for 40-yard dashes from elementary school, resulting in measurably faster draft classes across all positions
  • Professional athletes often lack financial literacy regarding tax obligations on large contracts, with many surprised to learn that gross income differs significantly from take-home pay after federal withholding
  • The FDA's funding structure creates potential conflicts of interest, as pharmaceutical and medical device companies that fund the agency also benefit from its approval decisions
  • Food and product safety standards vary dramatically between the US and other developed nations, with many items banned internationally remaining legal and marketed in America
  • Athlete compensation structures in the NFL (automatic tax withholding) provide better financial protection than entertainment industry contracts (gross payments with deferred tax liability)
Trends
Athletic performance optimization starting at youth level driving generational improvements in combine metricsIncreased athlete awareness of financial literacy gaps and tax planning complexity in professional sportsGrowing consumer scrutiny of FDA approval processes and pharmaceutical industry influence on regulatory bodiesInternational regulatory divergence creating consumer confusion about product safety standards across marketsShift toward farm-to-consumer transparency and direct sourcing as response to industrial food safety concerns

Get on over here to the 2026 Combine, bro. Listen, they said the 2026 NFL Combine prospects were the fastest draft class of all time. Everybody was all time number one, except for the quarterbacks, who was number two. Joe, I'm not going to lie to you. I saw something as I was looking through the post where you were talking about your speed. And in this post, someone wrote down that you were actually not as fast as you said you were. They marked you as a 4-6-2. I remember Mike Mayock marked you as a 462. And he said, he's got to study a little more tape on you, Joe. And then, I ain't going to say the rest because it's in favor of you. No, what did he say? Go ahead. What did he say? I can't read that good. So he said, and then he said, I'm very worried about him. I'm watching the tape. I don't know what I'm seeing. The speed is not perfect. He can run a little bit, but everyone, but he can't run good enough. That's what it said. I might be lying. Why are you looking at me like that? Why are you looking at me like that? Because. I might have changed it up a little bit. I might have got the words mixed up and added a couple other words and said some other things. Let me see. Let me see. Let me look at it again, Joe. Look at it. Bump that, D-Bo. It's not about me right now. It's not about me. It's not about me. Joe, it is about you. It's about these kids. It's about these kids. Hold up, Joe. Don't you try and deflect and all that when I'm talking junk. Why are you talking junk? I remember let me tell you this I was a cornerback I was a cornerback Mike Mayer hey listen listen go ahead Jared said that played 12 years in the league man you know I played 12 years in the league man on the island man I played 12 years on the island man Joe is it a real time Joe?

Can I tell you something? For one thing, I'm fast. For sure, I'm fast. And for another thing, I went seventh overall, regardless of running that bull at that combine with the blowback, because they went to my pro day and they saw I'm 4-3. I am 4-3. 4-3-4. 4-3-7. 4-3-4. One of the two. But that's neither here nor there. You know what's official? You can look at how many interceptions I got. in the league. How many is that? 29. At running a 4-6, you say? Get out of here, kids. They said you was playing against Cincinnati twice. Nope. I was playing against... They was throwing you the ball, they said. I was playing against Matthew Stafford was trying to throw the ball to A.J. Green and I'm booking that shit. Mm-hmm. You played him one time, what, every five years, Joe. Nope.

What was you weighing, Joe? I think I was weighing 190. Like 190. Probably 190. Hey, Joe. Hmm? This man ain't nothing but 180, Joe. Twanky. He threw up Twanky, Joe. I never said I was the strongest man in the world. Hey, Joe. He ran a 4-2-1, Joe. He ran a 4-2-1 for real? No, I'm just talking. I'm making up numbers right now. Okay. God. I was about to say. Oh, my God. Okay, he's for sure way faster than me. I'm not. Okay, T-Bone, I can't. I'm not messing with him. Them dudes, the D-backs that ran the 4-4, like, the combine numbers, bro, are ridiculous. The combine numbers are ridiculous. I think now the one that they're doing, I mean, everybody's getting bigger, stronger, faster. Like, it's not. More advancements in technology. More advancements. Training. Training. These dudes are preparing for these 40-yard dashes. They've been running 40s electric time since they've been in the seventh grade, sixth grade. Like, vertical jumps, all of this stuff. They're not new to this. They're true to this. They know exactly how they're going to get their starts. They know their times. They know they're locked in. So, like, this is just the evolution. We see these kids now when I'm watching my Instagram. The basketball, the eighth grade dudes just literally look behind the head. Boom. Dunking it. I'm like, oh, my goodness. When I was in eighth grade, me and my boys, we would be so happy. We were trying to run, slap the backboard when we did our layup. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, slap glass. Now dudes is coming through behind the head, dunking. I'm like, okay, there was only one dude I knew that could dunk in middle school around my way. And that man was Navarro Bowman. Do you know Navarro Bowman? The linebacker? He played for San Francisco 49ers. Yeah, I know. He was in Vegas for the arm wrestling thing. Him and Patrick Willis were sitting right next to each other looking like the twins, looking like the twin linebackers, smashing shit. That dude, Navarro Bowman, I was in the seventh grade. He's one year older than me. He was the only eighth grade dude around the way that he was dunking. We played middle school basketball against his team, Drew Freeman, against my team, Eugene Burroughs. And that was the first time I seen the dude in the eighth grade come down the floor with two hands. Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe. Yes. Joe, let me interrupt you for a minute. You know Covenant Life, right? Yes. Covenant Life said NFL combine, 40-yard dash, 4.57 to a 4.62. So it's official combine numbers. She looked it up on you. You ran a 4.62. Damn. She said that's your pro day You ran a 4-4-3 But But I'll take it Hey, Covenant Life, we appreciate you For being our official statistician We appreciate you Thank you for coming to Covenant Life That 4-4-3 was hand time Joe, tell the truth, shame the devil Was it hand time, Joe? It was I don't care And the man that you had during the hand time, he had a trick finger that didn't work all the time. See? See, that's why. That's crazy. That's, I heard through the grapevine. It's all good. That's what I'm saying, Joe. I ain't saying it. That's what they said. But you know me. I said you ran a 4-4-3, Joe. No. You know what? I don't even care. I don't even care anymore. It's irrelevant. It's irrelevant. Damn, Joe. It's irrelevant. It's okay. Hey, Joe. Joe. It's okay. I'm going to the Hall of Fame, Joe, but you're still holding on to this 40 times for the rookie year, Joe. All I know is- It's in your heart. It's there. Hey, Joe. Hey. I'm literally- Listen. Talk to our Lord and say it, Joe. Oh, no. For sure. Remove that from your heart. Joe. Remove that from your heart. We got to let it go. Love. Love heals all, Joe. I just am so, I know, I do. Love heals all. I am a lover. I am a lover. I am a lover. Oh, man. But that, it's something about that. It's something about that for you. Oh, Joe, it's still there, Joe. It's still there. It's never going to go. Every time I think about it, my back starts to hurt. Pride, Joe, let it go. Pride. Every time I think about it, my back starts to hurt. You better man for less. Come on, Joe, let it go. All right. You know what? It's over. I'm over it. I'm over it. Yo, look here, man. They saying Floyd Mayweather might be broke. See, that means- The money done booked three fights in 2026. And- I don't know. Paul Logan said he still owe him a million and a half. My man, 49, he got three fights lined up in the next what? Logan Paul, a million- How you owe Logan Paul a million and a half? That's crazy. You got three fights lined up in the next eight months. We got Mike Tyson, April, Mike Zem something in June, and Manny Pacquiao in September. Yes. Look, 2017, wasn't they saying that, yeah, 2017, they were saying he needed that money, the Conor McGregor fight in 2017 to pay off the IRS He backed that down though and denied it showing what was it a million check from 2015 that he I guess got the cash Bro ain no way I'm forgetting the cash. $100 million check, bro. No. No. No. No. This is what I'm going to tell you. I'm not going to be out here counting that man's pockets, but I will say this. Some people's broke is different than other people's broke. So he could be like... He say he ain't broke at all. I don't think he's broke at all. If Floyd Mayweather has $20 million, it's depending on what your lifestyle is. He's spending $2 million a month. That's going to go out. You know what I'm saying? Unless you got your money, making money for yourself and doing things. It's easy to spend money. You taking private jets and you living and moving and shaking. I've seen just talking about things like watches. $20 million watches. $30 million watches. It's easy to spend money, huh, Joe? Blue. You spend it. You spend it. Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe, I'm just. It's the new me. And it's the old them. Everybody's on their journey. And your journey is different to theirs. This Woman's History Month, the podcast, If You Knew Better with Amber Grimes, spotlights women who turn missteps into momentum and lessons into power. I think coming out of where I came from, I'm from the Bronx. I think I grew up really poor. I didn't know that then because I very much used my creativity to romanticize life. And I'm like, my mom did a really good job of like, you step back and you're like, whoa, we, I don't know how we made it. So a lot of my life was like built out of like survival to get to the next place. Like my drive, my like tunnel vision of like, I got to be better. I got to achieve this was off the strengths of like, I want to make a better life for us. If You Knew Better brings real talk from women who've lived it, unpacking career pivots, relationship lessons, and the mindset shifts that changed everything. Listen to If You Knew Better with Amber Grimes on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Usually on This Podcast Will Kill You, we talk about the diseases, infections, and biological threats that can make us really sick. But right now, we're doing something a little different. We're stepping back and looking at what the human body needs to keep going. When you consider what we know about sleep in humans, there's one rule that comes out. We are predictably unpredictable sleepers. We're talking about why sleep works the way it does, why our bodies don't follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by. The second half of our series takes us to the digestive system with a multi-part series on what happens after we eat. Okay, I just have to say that all of my favorite words apparently are digestive words. sphincter, peristalsis, duodenum. It's fascinating. It's funny. And it matters so much more than you think. Episodes of our new series run from January 20th through February 17th with new episodes every Tuesday on the Exactly Right Network. Listen to this podcast will kill you as part of the Exactly Right Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Danielle Robay, host of Bookmarked, the podcast by Reese's Book Club. And this week on bookmarked, we're basically hosting the ultimate girls night. Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Garner, Judy Greer, Rita Wilson, and Gauri Rice and author Laura Dave. These are the women behind season two of the Apple TV series, The Last Thing He Told Me. We're talking about turning a book into a hit show and what it really takes to bring a story to life. The most important metric for me is do I want to share this book with somebody? That's what creates community. And that's the main thesis of our book club and why we started it was just to connect people together. Listen to The Bookmarked by Risa's Book Club podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. I was like, hi, dad. And just when I said that, my mom comes out of the kitchen and she says, I have some cookies and milk. This is badass convict me. Just finished five years.

When segregation was the law, one mysterious Black club owner had his own rules. We didn't worry about what went on outside. It was like stepping in another world. Inside Charlie's place, black and white people danced together. But not everyone was happy about it. You saw the KKK? Yeah, they were dressed up in their uniform. The KKK set out to raid Charlie, take him away from here. Charlie was an example of power. They had to crush him. From Atlas Obscura, Rococo Punch, and Visit Myrtle Beach comes Charlie's Place, a story that was nearly lost to time. Until now.

You just spend it out like it's water out of a faucet. But to me, it looked like it's, you know, to me, I mean, if I was to take the faucet water that you pour out, I'd be broken. No, that's what I'm saying. You did different. He could be. That's why I'm not counting as cheap. But, yeah, you never know how people are managing their money, how people managing their dough. Because I'm telling you, it's easy to it's easy to spend it. It's hard to save it. It's easy to spend it. Listen, when you get it. But it was said that my man did fly commercial to Calgary. It wasn't private. Who? See? No, never. No, I'm messing with you. I know you're messing with me. Floyd got a plane, and that's what I'm saying. When you start messing with the pyroresses, that blew. This is the other part that you blew. You just did that because you wanted to be with the boys, huh? That's why you just flew regular, huh? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Or you just wanted to get out of there. I'm chilling now. I go first class, but you know what I'm saying? I'm going too crazy. I'm not. Oh, you sold your jet. Joe sold his jet, man. I never had a jet. Why you doing that? Nope, nope, nope. But look, this is what I'm telling you too. Joe saw this yet, y'all. Listen, listen, listen, Debo. I got you. This is what I can tell you though. This is what I can tell you. This is what to make you go broke. This is what to make a man go broke real fast. And it don't matter what kind of checks you get. If you get a $100 million check and they don't take the taxes out of it, the way they take the taxes out of our checks. Oh, Lord. Do you hear what I'm saying? When you get the whole thing and you will get that whole check and then you have to give it to the Fed. Then you have to give their piece to this and this, that, that. And Debo, you get a million dollars. You know, when you're in the league and you get that million dollars and it looks and then it says you get 555,000. You're like, where did the 450 go? That 450 is the money that will get you locked up quick because my people that we know is like this. Oh, no, you gave me, you gave Floyd, say, a million dollar check. Okay, that's a million dollars. but 55 of it is yours? Just saying, just giving numbers. Say 60. 60 of it is yours, but I need 40 on this side. And if you don't give me my 40 at the end of the month when we're doing them taxes, we're running back. Oh yeah, you had the 100 million. Where's my 40? Oh, I spent 100. Now you need 40. So that's how, I think it's looking crazy. Oh no, how could you do that? You had a 100 million dollar check that I owe 42, but I spent that 100 And now Uncle Sam's knocking on my door. When you have your taxes, oh, no, I owe taxes. I owe you like $6,000. No, Floyd had to write a check for $150 million that he already spent. And now niggas looking like, oh, how did he go broke? What do you mean how did he go broke? You just made that $150 million to pay him, and you still owe taxes off that. That's what I'm telling you. Joe, listen, listen. That's where the nuggets get. So that's why I tell you the NFL players, the best thing that could have ever happened to anybody. Take my money out. Take the taxes. Give me what's mine. Okay? Give me what's mine. And that don't, that ain't necessarily true all the time either. But still, but still, it don't work all the time. But D-Bo, it's way better, it's way fucking better than not, goddamn, you still might get hit a little bit, but like, oh man, what you mean? You might have a little, owe a little something. I'm like, hey, I thought y'all took it off. You know, you might owe a little something. But you might get it. Listen to me, but that right there, with that hundred, you dropped that hundred ball And you spend you $100 million? I got my first $1 million check, Joe. Joe, I got my first ever $1 million check. It was like my second or third contract, right? Yeah, yeah. This was like 2000. No, it was my second or third. It was like 2005 after we won the first Super Bowl, right? So they signed me to like the biggest exclusive rights non-starter deal. I'm like, yo, I am rich. I'm not about to have to ever work again, right? because I grew up my whole life believing rich people didn't pay taxes. That's what I was told. That's what I was told my whole life. Rich people didn't pay taxes. So, Joe, I'm going down there to get this million-dollar check. I'm getting a million-dollar check, Joe. Joe, I'll never forget it. I get down there, Joe. I grab this check. I'm thinking I'm about to go put a million in the bank. Now, I know I got taxes, but I didn't totally forgot about the taxes because I'm getting a million dollars. Yeah. I'm rich, bitch, right? Joe. Joe. I opened that check. That motherfucker said 590... Here we go. 6,000 dollars. I knew I had a five in front of it. I said, what? Who stole my bread? Where is my paper at? Yes. Yes. Oh. And hold up, Joe. The end of the year... They wanted another 60. Yeah, that's how it be. They're going to, yeah, that's how it be. When you don't, you're not aware, you don't know, but, yep, that's what happens. They're going to get there, Steve-O. You got to come learn. Come aware. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. That's the way the world turns, man. Everybody find out when they got a job because my worst part was I never had a job. That was my first job ever was in the league. Oh, well, I had a job since I was 12. I was working since I was 12. Were you getting hit on taxes with that? Or were you just doing some stuff? Were you going? So I didn't get taxed off that. It was like I was getting paid out of like petty cash. You know what I'm saying? You don't know what it feel like. Well, I was, hold up, hold up, Joe. I was getting money, though. Let me tell you how much money I was getting, Joe. I was getting $5.25 an hour. You couldn't tell me shit, Joe. Oh, yeah. You need to hold on that. When waves were 400 quota then, I was getting paid. Oh, you was up. Listen, bro. You was up. Joe, now listen, all the way up until I think I was in seventh grade, bro. I'm wearing the hard bottoms. You know, the top guns, you sliding across the gym floor and all that. Yes. I'll never forget it. I got my, I was able to afford to get my first pair of British Knights, bro. I got these British Knights, bro. Listen, man, I got these BKs, brother. and I went to go put them on. You don't even know what British Knights is, do you? No. Okay. Okay. Y'all, hey, make sure y'all put this up when y'all post. Put the British Knight up. But, Joe, I don't know what it was. I just couldn't take the smell of money or the smell of expensive things, but the smell of this shoe, bro, actually made me nauseous the first time I actually opened the box, bro, because I was used to that old top gun smell, you know, The hard bottoms. Joe, I was, I had, you ain't never heard, you heard of Stacey Adams? Yes, I heard of Stacey. It's a dress shoe, right? Yes. No. That was my gym shoe, brother. No, D-Bo. They made tennis shoes. Come on. Joe, on my daddy, Joe. Joe, you was rich before you ever got rich. You just got rich. Wow, D-Bo. They had you on the Stacey Adams sneaker jumps. It's crazy. Hey, hold up, Joe. That was an upgrade from the Top Gun. What you talking about? See, I got to see the Top Gun first. I got to see the Top Gun first. Oh, bro. Damn. Okay. Bro, when I say the hard bottoms, bro, I mean, you can break rocks on them motherfuckers, man. And it ain't going to damage this shoe. Okay. I'm going to look. The BK Knights? British Knights. British Knights. No. British Knights, brother. British Knights. I'm trying to tell you, bro. It's something. something different look it up man tell you once you look it up man all right matter of fact you got you got cheering right yes yes what do you feed your kids man oh we got we got 10 foods man that i guess a lot of folks eat man but it's banned in other countries dude like what is this list right here so this is something i can really get into joe you know what i'm saying because a lot of people, Americans, they just unaware of what's in this stuff, man. Like, you look at this right here, you got Coffee Mate, like the actual, like that creamer, I guess it has an increase, because of the chemicals that's in there, dude. Got an increase of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hell, even Alzheimer's, dude. But, the drug company's got something for that, so it don't matter. Man. Then you got the Fruit Loops. With the OOT, it used to be fruit, but they probably took that out because they just started adding all them food colors you got you got a red 40 you got yellow five and six um but like in other countries that banned they actually make it without that in other countries because they know it makes your kids sick causes neurological issues behavior issues you name it bro like it does a little bit everything it even damages like dna inflammation like hyperactivity in kids like but hey the drug companies got something for that too right i tell you deep look gatorade Mountain Dew, Ritz crackers, Skittles, Twix, instant mashed potatoes, bro. Stove top stuffies. Even our meats in the USA. Dude, they banned over there. Beef, chicken, pork, farm-raised salmon. Like, you can go on and on, dude. Like, why? So why does the FDA even allow this? Yo, Joe, why did the FDA even allow this? Why do you think they allow this, dude? Do you know why? You know why. I know why. Why everything's loud. Dude, FDA is funded by the pharmaceutical, medical device, and drug companies. Hence, the FDA is very accommodating. I'll say accommodating. I won't say the other word. I'll just say they're accommodating. Okay? The hoots. They, listen, they regularly approve medicines that you hear on the commercials, bro. You hear on the commercials. the side effects. It's this, this, that. This, Mike O'Blind. Mike O'Blind can't see the kids ever again. It's approved. It's crazy. But look. That makes sense now. Why? They might be in the backflips and then you might not be able to see ever again. Thank you. Saying it real quiet real fast. Then you might not be able to see ever again in your whole entire life. I'm like, damn. But it makes sense. Why? Because they are being funded by the actual businesses that they're approving, dude. Like, they don't really care. We don't, they don't really care about American health. They looking at the numbers, bro. And when it come down to it, if this product can make billions of dollars and we lose a few lives in the process and end up having to pay, I don't know, maybe two, three, four million, $100 million, it's cool because we're going to make like 50, 60 billion. Yeah. When you start talking about bees, they don't give a dang. Bro, tell me about it. What? Bro, people have gone missing for less. So when we start talking about real stuff like, brother, come on, man. The biggest guy in cartel is government. They running all this. Trillions and trillions. You can send trillions in dollars somewhere. What are we talking about? I'm spooked. You can do anything. Fuck out of here. But listen, this is the crazy thing. Like, you can say, well, Deebo, honestly, though, it's the people that I talk to that's like, oh, that's saying that that's a possible side effect. Like, it could possibly happen. They're just saying that to, you know, to just cover themselves. And it pisses me off so bad because it's not like a possible side effect. They're not just covering their ass. They had to put it on there because the side effects actually happened to somebody. That means somebody actually died from it. When they run the trials, they have to put it in there. Somebody went blind. Somebody went deaf. Somebody passed away. Like. Got to. They got to. Here's a crazy thing. So. Water. Prime example. Oh. D-Bow went water. Listen, I want to go real simple. You went real simple. Water. Real simple. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. So water can actually kill you. Too much water can kill you. Yes. That's facts. Yes. Yes. It's called acute, acute delusional. something is called hyponeutropia whatever it is so basically what it does is it throws off your sodium levels your concentration of sodium which affects your muscles your nerves your brain all that and it can kill you but the reason listen to me people the reason there is no warning on water is because when water is used as it should normally be used there is no risk of death you're seeing these side effects of these issues because if the medicine is used as it's normally supposed to be used you could possibly have all of those so you're telling me something that i use as you prescribe me to use it can actually get me up out of here as normally yes yep yep I'm here with you, D-Bo. But you know what we said with Summershut. What the hell we going to do about it? Hey, I make sure I get all my... I go to the farm that I get my stuff from. I see it. I've been there. I went through the whole process. I see all that. I try to do everything I can. I ain't going to lie. I mess up sometimes. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? I like to smoke me a little cigar here and there. But here's the thing. Listen, yes, cigarettes and all that other stuff got a whole bunch of chemicals in it. Cigars is tobacco. You know why cigars is tobacco? It's just straight tobacco because they rate cigars. You start putting a chemical in the cigar, a true connoisseur is going to taste that. It's going to drop the rating. These cigarettes, they don't care. It's the new me and it's the old them. Everybody's on their journey and your journey is different to theirs. This Woman's History Month, the podcast, If You Knew Better with Amber Grimes, spotlights women who turn missteps into momentum and lessons into power. I think coming out of where I came from, I'm from the Bronx. I think I grew up really poor. I didn't know that then because I very much use my creativity to romanticize life. And I'm like, my mom did a really good job of like, you step back and you're like, whoa, we, I don't know how we made it. So a lot of my life was like built out of like survival to get to the next place. Like my drive, my like tunnel vision of like, I got to be better. I got to achieve this was off the strengths of like, I want to make a better life for us. If You Knew Better brings real talk from women who've lived it, unpacking career pivots, relationship lessons, and the mindset shifts that changed everything. Listen to If You Knew Better with Amber Grimes on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Usually on this podcast, we'll kill you. We talk about the diseases, infections, and biological threats that can make us really sick. But right now we're doing something a little different. We're stepping back and looking at what the human body needs to keep going. When you consider what we know about sleep in humans, there's one rule that comes out. We are predictably unpredictable sleepers. We're talking about why sleep works the way it does, why our bodies don't follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by. The second half of our series takes us to the digestive system with a multi-part series on what happens after we eat. Okay, I just have to say that all of my favorite words apparently are digestive words. Sphincter, peristalsis, duodenum. It's fascinating, it's funny, and it matters so much more than you think. Episodes of our new series run from January 20th through February 17th, with new episodes every Tuesday on the Exactly Right Network. Listen to This Podcast Will Kill You as part of the Exactly Right Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Garner, Judy Greer, Rita Wilson, and Gauri Rice, and author Laura Dave. These are the women behind season two of the Apple TV series, The Last Thing He Told Me. We're talking about turning a book into a hit show and what it really takes to bring a story to life. The most important metric for me is, do I want to share this book with somebody? That's what creates community. And that's the main thesis of our book club and why we started it was just to connect people together. Listen to The Bookmarked by Risa's Book Club podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. I said, hi, dad.

When segregation was the law, one mysterious Black club owner had his own rules. We didn't worry about what went on outside. It was like stepping in another world. Inside Charlie's place, black and white people danced together. But not everyone was happy about it. You saw the KKK? Yeah, they were dressed up in their uniform. The KKK set out to raid Charlie, take him away from here. Charlie was an example of power. They had to crush him. From Atlas Obscura, Rococo Punch, and Visit Myrtle Beach comes Charlie's Place, a story that was nearly lost to time. Until now. Listen to Charlie's Place on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm going to get you addicted. They don't rate no cigarette, bruh. Think about it.

You smoke that many cigarettes? not even cigarettes, bro. A cigar, one cigar is probably equivalent to a whole pack. I don't know those people. But I don't inhale. I got some people on my mom's side of the family. My man, please bless, everything's still good. He's smoking most cigarettes I've ever seen and he's still chilling. So it could be, some people who smoke one cigarette probably get it. You know what I'm saying? What you got? Different, different, different. That's the drug warnings. Everybody's different. That's the drug warning. For sure, everybody's different. Yep. It's not meant, like, because I know some people that smoking right now to the day that still ain't got no cancer. I'm like, you are fighting. So all them drug warnings on them things, y'all listen, it's there because it happened to somebody. Okay? That means it could happen to you. I don't want to get rid of whatever it is so bad that I'm willing to risk my life for it. I'm sorry. I can't do it. Joe! What's up, coach? You know what time it is.

Oh you mads Said shout out guys Which receiver do you want us to take Tate Lemon Cooper Jr and Ted Hurst I personally want, Carnell Tate, what are your thoughts? Who do you want them to take? It's about, you can want them to take whoever you want them to take. It's about who will be available. And who do you see on this list being available? and who do you see as being not maybe worth going at that position that we're at? Who you like? I don't know. I think it really depends on how they fit into what we're doing, what we're building. Um... Anywhere If it's anywhere All of them I can take any one of them I'm going to go with Let me see What my man say Thompson I like I like Tate Obviously I think Tate's the best But I like Jordan Tyson I like Jordan Tyson And then third I like Lemon I think all of All three of them dudes will be amazing on the squad. So first take, obviously, but I think Tate's going to be the first one taking. So if either one, Tyson or Lemon are there, I like them. Okay. Okay. Moving on, moving on. Covenant Life, $10. She said, Joe, I saw a clip of you saying, I lift weights. Oh, damn. See. Then someone's hit you and you said, damn, what was that about? Joe. Cover the life. It was mic'd up. I was mic'd up. I say I lift weights because I hit somebody first. They weren't, you got to watch the whole thing. You can chop and screw everything and make it look crazy. So I didn't go straight from I lift weights to when he pushed me on the ground. That was a whole different play. I was guarding the receiver. But you wasn't lifting weights after that. You didn't even think about them weights when they pushed you down, huh? He lifts weights too. That's what I do. That's what I do. He lifts weights also. Both of us. It could be two things that one's right. I lift weights and you lift weights too. Two things can be correct. So, Debo, I'm backpedaling. I'm playing corner. I'm backpedaling and I'm thinking it's a pass play and it's a receiver. He running like he about to run a fly and then he gets up close to me and then starts blocking and pushes me. So, I wasn't ready. I'm thinking I'm about to guard him for a pass and he gets up on me and then push me. And I fall down and stand up and it's right in front of their sideline and I'm embarrassed. I look over. Damn! And everybody sees me and starts laughing on their bench. So I was like, it was all good. But they caught me. I was mic'd up and that's what the video she's seeing. Okay. But I did hit somebody in that video. She said your speed was a 22. She said, I love it, sir. Thank you. I was, thank you because I'm fast. Listen, Joe. All right. You didn't get to 22 fast. You just ran 22. It took you about 40, let's say 55 yards to get to 22. No. 22 miles per hour. I was floating. We're back with Covenant Life, $10. She said, let me hear you sing it. Oh, mama, I'm in fear of my life from the long arm of the law. Lawman, she wants you to sing Renegade. See? Oh, how's she going to throw me on the spot to sing the Renegade? Joe, do you know it? Joe, prove you a stealer. She wanted to prove you a stealer. I do. Do it. She after you today. Man, cover the life. Did she get my package that I sent? She ain't get her jersey. See, oh no. Latest is arriving no later than Tuesday. Hey man, y'all talking about my shirt teal. It is teal. The man's shirt is teal. Look at that, 83% teal. I'll give you teal. If teal is more blue than green, I'll give you teal. Teal is blue and green. together. And that's what your shirt is. You keep saying, if it's more blue than green, it's 50-50. No, it's not. No, it's not. No. Look at this, Joe. Look, bruh, look. Give me something else that's blue. I'm telling you. Let me show you my shirt. Joe, you're going to say it or not. What color is this? You want me to lie to you to tell the truth? Tell me the truth. That's more of a tealish green. Now, Joe, you keep deflecting. Do you know the words? You know what I'm going to start bringing up at the beginning of the show for you? Come to send in $10 and say, I want to hear Joe. Joe, if he know, is he a still or is he a brown? Old Mama. Old Mama. Sing it. Old Mama, I'm in fear for my life. I'm the long arm of the low. Okay, you know it. I got you. I got you. And I'm so far from my home. All right, I got you, Joe. I'm in fear. Okay. I got you, Joe. I got you, Joe. Okay. Okay. Covenant Light back at it again, Joe. Covenant Light, did you get your jersey from Joe Covenant Light? Did you get your jersey? Joe, I don't see her. I don't see her. She said nothing right here, Joe. I don't see her. She said nothing right here, Joe. Joe, Covenant Light back $10. She said, Joe, which was the toughest matchup for you? A.J. Green Julio Jones Antonio Brown Odell Beckham that's not even in the conversation it was yes it was Prime Odell yes he was Calvin you telling me Odell over A.B. I'm telling you he's in this conversation I'm seeing the names dude I'm distracting go ahead from okay matter of fact I'm gonna let you talk about all of them and explain why or Calvin Johnson and explain why Omar said The Browns will get the loudest boo during the draft. Yes, they will. You probably will. In Pittsburgh. In Pittsburgh. It's going to be real. Give me AJ. Give me AJ Green. Over all of them. No, I'm saying. I'm asking you. AJ Green. Okay, overall, give me who you got as the toughest matchup overall. For me, it was Antonio Brown. Exactly. For me, it was Antonio Brown. Why? because it was a little bit of both. When I was there too, he was quick. He was going to catch everything. Speedy as a mug. And same time, don't let Big Ben was the quarterback and make him scramble. And now I covered the comeback. Oh, he's going to turn that into a go real fast. And now I'm hit regardless. So I think it was AB being able to run routes, everything he could do, his hands, his feet, being able to be quick off the line. He's quicker than fast, but he's both. But he's super duper quick. You couldn't get hands on him off the line. And then on top of him having Big Ben there, if I was able to cover the route, he'll pump that joint, make him have a little bit more time, turn it to a different route. I'm like, oh, I can't cover this long. So then being able to ad-lib was the craziest thing ever. So I'll go AB for show because it was him and it was a little bit of Ben that was putting me in the blender. Who you got next? Next, I would probably go... I only played Calvin one time. So I would go... I'm going to have to probably go Julio Jones. Julio Jones? Julio Jones. Okay. Because he's probably the big... He's the probably fastest, big... Him and Calvin were kind of the same. Strong, big, fast, could jump high, could do everything. So I just had to basically just try to get in position to stay in front. And then I'm going to go with AJ and Odell kind of the same. Odell, when he was prime Odell, the Giants, he was one of the quickest dudes off the line. He was catching everything, taking those slants to the house. So he was very, very tough to card. And then AJ, I don't know how, him and Andy, I just had to cover him twice a year. And flukishly, he done caught the game winner on me one time on a post. I don't know how. he could just go up and get a little bit of everything. Damn, you called it a fluke. That's crazy. It wasn't fluke, but it was... You said flukish. Flukish because I would be right there. And then he would sometimes be able to still catch it. So I felt like that was fluke, but no, it's just because he was nice. I ain't about to diminish my skills. That was fluke. That was fluke, man. Took a penis off my head. God. We got... we got uh ten dollars from mikhail randall 8843 he said where do y'all think aj brown going this season could pit be on the list and if y'all sending jerseys where do i send the money to collect me and adebo and joe pit jersey listen you got to be as dedicated as covenant life is to love. That's what you got to do. That's it, baby. Checking the cover. That's it, baby. Look here. Where is A.J. Brown going? I don't know, but it damn sure ain't going to be pit. It damn sure ain't going to be pit. Because I don't need, we don't need, we don't need no disgruntledness. We ain't got time for disgruntledness. We talking about the studying of the receivers. A.J. Brown will be the study. We be like, he's very good, but we don't need him here right now. We're not good enough yet. We're not, we're not, We don't have the foundation set. Not having the camp. Can't do it. Won't do it. Won't do it. But he's going to be good. He's going to be somewhere. For sure, he got to go to a squad that got a solid quarterback and a solid foundation. Uh-uh. Foxy, we got another one. $5 from Foxy Mama. Four, three, two, one. Said the Falcons will get the loudest boot for hiring Stefanski. in Pittsburgh no in Pittsburgh I understand what you said if that was in nah it don't matter if it was in Cleveland if it was in Cleveland maybe but I don't even see that happening in Cleveland because they go they go be happy they got rid of me so I don't they might just start laughing yeah ain't nobody tripping on the Falcons how long we see them once every 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 years something I don't know not too often not too often not too often at all that's it right there Joe look here man being real Debo we want to thank you for joining us on this episode of Debo and Joe please make sure you like subscribe and download where you get your podcast Joe yo you heard Debo make sure you like subscribe download where you get your podcast and we will see you on Friday same place same time we out This Women's History Month, the podcast Keep It Positive, sweetie, celebrates the power of women choosing healing, purpose, and faith, even when life gets messy.

Hi, I'm Danielle Robay, host of Bookmarked, the podcast by Reese's Book Club. And this week, we are talking about a monster. Or maybe the woman who refused to be one. I'm sitting down with Maggie Gyllenhaal to unpack her new film, The Bride. And trust me, this isn't your grandmother's bride of Frankenstein. What I was more interested in was the monstrousness inside of each of us. You can spend your life running from those things, or you can turn around and shake hands with them.
