They’re killing that podcast btw. Always great content. Gibson explained that his portrayal of Jody was deeply personal, as it mirrored his own experiences growing up with a single mother.

I don’t like the ni””a to this day.” Look, ya’ll remember the infamous headlock scene, right? We do! It was CLASSIC. So if that triggers Gibson, we get it.his resentment towards Rhames persists even in social settings, years after the film’s release. I run into that ni””a to this day.
