It's the only way 471 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: to live. Yeah, yeah, Like, oh, who put you on 472 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: that Huberman?

And it's great too. 475 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 2: When you're trying to get people information and they're like, 476 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 2: would you get that, and you say Huberman, they just 477 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 2: go okay, yeah, right, absolutely right, automatically agree with you. 478 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 2: There's no argument to me. 479 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: Yeh. There is a culture with Huberman right now. Yeah, 480 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: but I wrote down the benefits of nicotine coming from 481 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: Huberman's mouth, that got me more and more. On top 482 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: of this stuff neuroprotecting, suppress his appetite, don't need it, 483 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: increase his metabolism.

I won't go too much farther beyond that. 486 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: I just got it. I just jotted that note down 487 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: that it relaxes your skeletal muscle and then it increases 488 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 1: motivation and decreases negative emotions. 489 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 2: So is this the answer for depression? Not for us 490 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 2: to say, probably not. 491 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: There there are studies of like an anti of using 492 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: it as like an antidepressant.

Yeah, uh, 1167 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:20,799 Speaker 1: but I didn't realize the tension and the politics and 1168 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 1: the moment that was going on when Drew Bletsoe had 1169 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,000 Speaker 1: gotten hurt. Like I knew he got hurt. Tom came in. 1170 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,399 Speaker 1: It's like the rest is history, right, But I didn't 1171 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,560 Speaker 1: know Drew Bletsoe was like a hundred million that he 1172 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,920 Speaker 1: just got paid as one hundred million dollar quarterback, right.

He was in backyard football, 1209 00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,560 Speaker 1: he was in all the different stuff like probably weedies, yeah, 1210 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,359 Speaker 1: all those things.

We're choosing to go Brady, who's a 1232 00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,400 Speaker 1: six round pick who doesn't have the pedigree, instead of 1233 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,719 Speaker 1: the one hundred million dollars, Like we could easily just 1234 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,160 Speaker 1: go back to this right, and they choose not to do. Like, 1235 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,359 Speaker 1: it's an incredible it's gonna be an incredible docum series. 1236 00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 1: How long is the U of the episodes? Probably forty minutes? 1237 00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 2: Oh, I love that? 1238 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, not not almost, not like fifty seven sixty minutes. 1239 00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,960 Speaker 1: We're talking a good digestible, like you're in it a 1240 00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,920 Speaker 1: good forty minutes, and how they basically bring back and 1241 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 1: build this dynasty. But it gets into like the nitty gritty. 1242 00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 2: God damn that fire that fires me up. 1243 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,359 Speaker 1: And just how competitive Tom was.

They're enough just being them and being the 1812 01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:23,519 Speaker 2: best person they can be, as opposed to all I 1813 01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:25,000 Speaker 2: got to do all these things and I want to 1814 01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:27,200 Speaker 2: be the best at this at all, Like constantly trying 1815 01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,519 Speaker 2: to be the best at whatever category this everyone's the 1816 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:30,680 Speaker 2: subject they're talking about it. 1817 01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:33,880 Speaker 1: Like not allowing the external world to dictate how they're down. 1818 01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:37,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that that would probably be mine because I did. 1819 01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,640 Speaker 2: That happens a lot with me, not as much as 1820 01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,200 Speaker 2: you used to, but still happens quite frequently, but especially 1821 01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:44,080 Speaker 2: with football. It was always like, if I'm not the 1822 01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:46,200 Speaker 2: absolute best, I'm a complete failure.

I will 1920 01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,599 Speaker 2: tell you this, it is a very unique thing doing 1921 01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:10,280 Speaker 2: real TV because it's so fast paced. 1922 01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:11,640 Speaker 4: It is it is. 1923 01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,640 Speaker 3: It's fast paced and in our case is live. So 1924 01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:16,519 Speaker 3: you mess up, you mess up, you know what I mean? 1925 01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:18,280 Speaker 3: And ain't like somebody's gonna say we don't even have 1926 01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:21,000 Speaker 3: to say a seven second delay, so you know, an 1927 01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:23,840 Speaker 3: any kind of hiccup that takes place, you could say 1928 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:25,760 Speaker 3: the wrong word, the wrong thing or whatever. You can 1929 01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:28,000 Speaker 3: gind yourself in trouble. So that's the pressure that comes 1930 01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:30,880 Speaker 3: along with doing live television. But I like it, so 1931 01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:31,760 Speaker 3: it is what it is. 1932 01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:37,360 Speaker 1: How do you manage to keep your level of enthusiasm 1933 01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,559 Speaker 1: work ethic with everything you're doing. You're also now in 1934 01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:42,920 Speaker 1: the podcast space, which is a massive one, by the way, 1935 01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:45,120 Speaker 1: and shout out, shout out your boy Bailey's here. I've 1936 01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:46,960 Speaker 1: followed him a while. I know he kind of does 1937 01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:48,720 Speaker 1: a lot of your stuff, but he does. How do 1938 01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:50,080 Speaker 1: you manage all of that stuff? 1939 01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:51,920 Speaker 3: Well, you gotta do what you love. That's number one. 1940 01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:54,160 Speaker 3: I don't have a job. I have a career. 1941 01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:55,280 Speaker 4: I've often said when I. 1942 01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:57,920 Speaker 3: Give speeches and lectures, I say a job is doing 1943 01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,840 Speaker 3: what you have to do to sustain elevation quality of life. 1944 01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:02,200 Speaker 3: A career is doing what you want to do, and 1945 01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:03,920 Speaker 3: it just so happens to do those things. But I 1946 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:08,240 Speaker 3: also think the pressure of covering sports contributes to that 1947 01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:11,360 Speaker 3: kind of mentality. You know, you guys played in the NFL. 1948 01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:13,599 Speaker 3: You've got guys I'm covering to play in the NBA, 1949 01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:17,680 Speaker 3: Major League Baseball, professional boxes, UFC, fighters, et cetera, et cetera. 1950 01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:20,479 Speaker 3: These are the best in the world. And when you 1951 01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:23,639 Speaker 3: consider the fact that you not only didn't do what 1952 01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:24,679 Speaker 3: they did on. 1953 01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:27,120 Speaker 4: That level, but it was because you couldn't. 1954 01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:32,000 Speaker 3: Yet you get to sit in judgment of how they performed, 1955 01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:35,720 Speaker 3: how receptive folks should be to how they perform, how 1956 01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:40,160 Speaker 3: receptive people should be to your commentary about it, Then 1957 01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,519 Speaker 3: you owe it to everybody to make sure that you 1958 01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:46,400 Speaker 3: put forth a full fledged effort with passion and enthusiasm 1959 01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:48,920 Speaker 3: to let everybody know not only are you not playing around, 1960 01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:51,840 Speaker 3: but you care that much. And so that's the very 1961 01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:53,400 Speaker 3: least that you can do. And that's what I try 1962 01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:54,160 Speaker 3: to bring to the table. 1963 01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:56,320 Speaker 2: When you're fighting through that process of knowing that these 1964 01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:58,120 Speaker 2: guys are playing at the highest level, doing their thing 1965 01:23:58,120 --> 01:23:59,960 Speaker 2: at the highest level, and you are saying there in judgment, 1966 01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:02,600 Speaker 2: how was the process for you as far as I 1967 01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:05,920 Speaker 2: feeling comfortable with putting out of judgment knowing you essentially 1968 01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:06,840 Speaker 2: haven't done what they did. 1969 01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:09,120 Speaker 3: You know, it was easy for me in this regard. 1970 01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:11,880 Speaker 3: I remember when I started out in the business and 1971 01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:16,840 Speaker 3: I had a clerical position at the Winston Salem Journal 1972 01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:19,360 Speaker 3: newspaper in Winstersalem, North Carolina, because I went to Winston 1973 01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:22,959 Speaker 3: Salem State University, which is a historically black college and university. 1974 01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:28,640 Speaker 3: And I went there and the sports editor of my 1975 01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:32,360 Speaker 3: first week on a job sent me to wake Forest 1976 01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:35,840 Speaker 3: University right down the road. Wake Forest was the number 1977 01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:39,880 Speaker 3: three ranked team in the nation in soccer. The only 1978 01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:43,240 Speaker 3: soccer match I had ever watched was Pele in the 1979 01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:46,720 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty Olympics for the you know of I guess right, 1980 01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:50,120 Speaker 3: And so what happened is that I knew nothing about soccer, 1981 01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:52,679 Speaker 3: and I went to the coach who's now. 1982 01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,000 Speaker 4: Deceased, God rest his soul. 1983 01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:57,760 Speaker 3: His name was Walke Chisowich, and I walked up to 1984 01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,920 Speaker 3: him and I say, I know absolutely no thing about soccer. 1985 01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:04,400 Speaker 4: I've never covered it on anything, sir, But the boss. 1986 01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:06,559 Speaker 3: Sent me over here to do a feature on you guys, 1987 01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:09,800 Speaker 3: and I don't know what I'm doing, but I really 1988 01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:10,960 Speaker 3: want to be a sports writer. 1989 01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:12,160 Speaker 4: Could you help me? 1990 01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:16,920 Speaker 3: And he summoned the entire team over and he said, 1991 01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:19,679 Speaker 3: for the next three days, because my piece was doing 1992 01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:22,559 Speaker 3: a week. He said, for the next three days, you 1993 01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:26,719 Speaker 3: guys are to give complete unadulterated access to Stephen. To Stephen, 1994 01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:31,919 Speaker 3: any question he asked you answer and he said you Steven. Meanwhile, 1995 01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:36,240 Speaker 3: every single practice of every day this week, you will 1996 01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:39,200 Speaker 3: be standing right next to me. And he taught me 1997 01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:42,439 Speaker 3: the game of soccer. And then when I finished the piece, 1998 01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:45,360 Speaker 3: which ultimately had the sports that are to called me 1999 01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:47,640 Speaker 3: into this office the next day and say, congratulations, you're 2000 01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:48,280 Speaker 3: the new beat writer. 2001 01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:49,400 Speaker 4: Away for soccer. 2002 01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:53,080 Speaker 3: When I went to the coach after that and let 2003 01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:56,320 Speaker 3: him know, he said to me, what do you think 2004 01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:58,519 Speaker 3: you've learned? What do you think you should have learned? 2005 01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:03,639 Speaker 3: I said, listen and learn. He said, you didn't play soccer, 2006 01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:07,720 Speaker 3: but you learn from those who do. And as long 2007 01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:10,840 Speaker 3: as you do that, then you're in a position to 2008 01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:14,160 Speaker 3: critique any of us because the knowledge that you're getting 2009 01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:17,679 Speaker 3: is not of your own. It's one that was provided 2010 01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:20,240 Speaker 3: to you. And as long as you make sure. 2011 01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:24,160 Speaker 4: You articulate that, you will be respected because. 2012 01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:26,640 Speaker 3: They know the lens that you're looking through is not 2013 01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:30,400 Speaker 3: that of your own, it's of ours. And I carry 2014 01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:31,679 Speaker 3: that with me for the rest of my career. 2015 01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:34,000 Speaker 1: How was it when you started to get those close 2016 01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:37,439 Speaker 1: personal relationships with athletes, like you're obviously covering and now 2017 01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:39,559 Speaker 1: you are. Yeah, I mean you're obviously superstarting out and 2018 01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:42,679 Speaker 1: everybody knows you. But as you're growing and then getting 2019 01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:45,200 Speaker 1: those closer relationships with guys and then having to go 2020 01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:48,559 Speaker 1: on TV and talk about, you know, stuff that as 2021 01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:50,840 Speaker 1: an athlete, you know is like personal to you. How 2022 01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:52,439 Speaker 1: did you start to balance that as your part. 2023 01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:56,880 Speaker 3: The parts about your performance never phazed me, because you 2024 01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:00,439 Speaker 3: perform in a public platform. So the games that themselves 2025 01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:03,000 Speaker 3: speak for themselves. You shoot two for twenty, that's on you. 2026 01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,639 Speaker 3: You throw three interceptions, that's on you. You fumbled three 2027 01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:08,320 Speaker 3: times or whatever. You get burned and you a cornerback 2028 01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:10,960 Speaker 3: and somebody catches to over two hundred yards on you. Okay, 2029 01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:13,200 Speaker 3: that's on you. I mean, there's nothing I can do 2030 01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:14,840 Speaker 3: for you, and that is what it is. And I 2031 01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:16,559 Speaker 3: don't give a damn about how you feel because that 2032 01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:18,360 Speaker 3: was in a public setting and you put yourself on 2033 01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:20,000 Speaker 3: front street, and that's what you have to deal with. 2034 01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:22,600 Speaker 4: It's the behind the scene. 2035 01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:27,080 Speaker 3: Stuff subject to interpretation and perspective, or the personal stuff 2036 01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:30,439 Speaker 3: that I'm very very guarded about because what happens is 2037 01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:33,840 Speaker 3: is that if I have a relationship with you, the 2038 01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:36,000 Speaker 3: assumption is that there's a trust. 2039 01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:37,880 Speaker 4: How do you become friends with people? 2040 01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:38,160 Speaker 1: You do? 2041 01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:39,840 Speaker 3: You become friends with people you have no trust for, 2042 01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:41,800 Speaker 3: you don't believe in at all. You think every word 2043 01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:43,559 Speaker 3: out of their mouth is a damn line. No, that's 2044 01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:46,760 Speaker 3: not what you do. Usually, you cultivate these relationships and 2045 01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:49,200 Speaker 3: there's there's an affinity for one another and a level 2046 01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:52,280 Speaker 3: of trust that's built. So when somebody comes with a 2047 01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:55,160 Speaker 3: different perspective than the person you have a relationship with, 2048 01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:58,160 Speaker 3: and it's an opposition to what they're saying to you, 2049 01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:01,599 Speaker 3: it can get tricky, and at that particular moment in time, 2050 01:28:01,680 --> 01:28:04,120 Speaker 3: you have to remind that friend, that person who's become 2051 01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:06,360 Speaker 3: a friend that you've cultivated. 2052 01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:06,680 Speaker 4: A close relationship with. 2053 01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:09,760 Speaker 3: Look, I've got an obligation to be fair, even if 2054 01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:12,960 Speaker 3: I know or I believe you and I think they 2055 01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:15,920 Speaker 3: may not be telling the truth. They're saying this for 2056 01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:18,880 Speaker 3: the record, now off the record. I ain't gonna do 2057 01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:20,800 Speaker 3: that to you. But if they say to you on 2058 01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:23,920 Speaker 3: the record, you know what, he ain't shit, he's a liar. 2059 01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:25,800 Speaker 3: This is what he did, and blah blah blah. It's 2060 01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:27,120 Speaker 3: not like I can make up a quote. 2061 01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:28,599 Speaker 4: I gotta quote him. 2062 01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:29,559 Speaker 1: That's what he said. 2063 01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:32,479 Speaker 3: I gotta give it to them, okay, and give you 2064 01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:36,000 Speaker 3: an opportunity to respond. So it can get challenging in 2065 01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:39,400 Speaker 3: that regard, but that really calls for you to remind 2066 01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:44,000 Speaker 3: somebody of your professionalism, your ethics, the responsibility that comes 2067 01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:46,479 Speaker 3: along with the job title that you have. And it 2068 01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:49,479 Speaker 3: also serves as a reminder to that person that trusts you, 2069 01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:50,559 Speaker 3: why did you trust me? 2070 01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:53,120 Speaker 4: To begin with, because I exercise those same. 2071 01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:55,880 Speaker 3: Principles and cultivating the relationship I did with you, I 2072 01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:58,200 Speaker 3: can't go against it just because you're a man. 2073 01:28:58,520 --> 01:28:59,320 Speaker 4: I can't do that. 2074 01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:03,280 Speaker 3: Had those situations of my career before, confronted by those 2075 01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:05,519 Speaker 3: kind of things, whether it be Alan Iverson, Kobe Bryant, 2076 01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:07,400 Speaker 3: Shaquille or Neil Michael Jordan himself. 2077 01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:08,680 Speaker 4: The list goes on and on. 2078 01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:11,000 Speaker 3: You certainly have had those things where people have given 2079 01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:14,479 Speaker 3: their different perspectives aside that would be different from something 2080 01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:15,960 Speaker 3: that they said to me or whatever. 2081 01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:17,760 Speaker 4: And that's the challenge that you have to deal with. 2082 01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:19,600 Speaker 3: But when you're known as being straight up and up 2083 01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:22,519 Speaker 3: and up, what you learn to find from professional athletes 2084 01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:24,200 Speaker 3: that they appreciate most. 2085 01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:25,680 Speaker 4: Is not being blindsided. 2086 01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:29,479 Speaker 3: They see you coming, you know, they ain't open the 2087 01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:31,479 Speaker 3: paper or turn on the TV the next day and 2088 01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:34,320 Speaker 3: utterly shocked by what you're doing. And I think the 2089 01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:37,080 Speaker 3: greatest example of that was Isaiah Thomas when he was 2090 01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:40,719 Speaker 3: the head coach of the New York Knicks. They looked 2091 01:29:40,960 --> 01:29:44,559 Speaker 3: horrible and there was a game in which they lost 2092 01:29:44,600 --> 01:29:48,240 Speaker 3: bout forty five to Boston and Boston and it was 2093 01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:50,519 Speaker 3: the most emotional that I had ever been in my career, 2094 01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:53,679 Speaker 3: because I actually called them up and I almost started 2095 01:29:53,720 --> 01:29:56,759 Speaker 3: crying because he's the person that granted me my first 2096 01:29:56,800 --> 01:30:01,000 Speaker 3: ever interview as a reporter, and I had to call 2097 01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:03,040 Speaker 3: him to let him know tomorrow, I'm calling for you. 2098 01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:03,599 Speaker 4: To be fired. 2099 01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:05,920 Speaker 1: Oh damn, because it was that bad. 2100 01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:08,599 Speaker 3: It was that bad, and I knew that he had 2101 01:30:08,640 --> 01:30:12,519 Speaker 3: a lot going on on a personal level. His mom 2102 01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,439 Speaker 3: was dying, and you know, he wasn't all there with 2103 01:30:15,479 --> 01:30:17,800 Speaker 3: the New York Knicks at that particular, so much stuff 2104 01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:19,600 Speaker 3: that was going on in his personal life that he 2105 01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:21,400 Speaker 3: had to deal with that it really didn't give the 2106 01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:24,439 Speaker 3: ideal example of what he was capable of doing as 2107 01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:28,680 Speaker 3: a coach. But the situation had regressed to such a 2108 01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:33,479 Speaker 3: point nobody worth their salt could support him staying on board. 2109 01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:35,439 Speaker 4: And I had to call him to let him know, 2110 01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:39,840 Speaker 4: this is what I'm doing tomorrow. And he said to me, 2111 01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:43,000 Speaker 4: do what you gotta do. Bro, I understand. 2112 01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:46,320 Speaker 2: And is that a common thing for you when do 2113 01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:48,120 Speaker 2: you have a relationship with somebody and that it goes 2114 01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:49,880 Speaker 2: downhill in a certain way where you give them a 2115 01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:51,120 Speaker 2: call and you let them know this is how I'm 2116 01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:51,960 Speaker 2: about to go about business. 2117 01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:53,320 Speaker 3: I'm the kind of person even if I don't have 2118 01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:55,920 Speaker 3: a relationship with you.

If I know you 2120 01:30:57,600 --> 01:30:59,360 Speaker 3: well enough that I can get in touch with you 2121 01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:01,280 Speaker 3: and I have something say about you, I'm gonna call you. 2122 01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:04,200 Speaker 3: I'm that guy. I'm not that guy that's on TV. 2123 01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:05,720 Speaker 3: But never lie when you don't see me in the 2124 01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:08,439 Speaker 3: locker room and stuff anymore. Blame ESPN. You got me 2125 01:31:08,479 --> 01:31:10,320 Speaker 3: doing every damn show, so you know what I'm saying. 2126 01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:13,040 Speaker 3: I'm on the AFI hours. You know I gotta travel 2127 01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:15,439 Speaker 3: to this city that city. I can only do but 2128 01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:19,240 Speaker 3: so much. But everybody that knows me knows I've always 2129 01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:21,799 Speaker 3: had that reputation. I will show up to the games. 2130 01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:24,200 Speaker 3: I will show up to the locker rooms. There are 2131 01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:26,519 Speaker 3: times when people would see me lurking on the basketball 2132 01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:28,240 Speaker 3: court and they'd be like, who does he think he is? 2133 01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:30,840 Speaker 3: Like he's walking around the court before the games when 2134 01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:33,240 Speaker 3: guys are on the layup line. They didn't realize the 2135 01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:35,360 Speaker 3: reason I did that is because I knew I had 2136 01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:38,040 Speaker 3: a national television platform, and I knew that I didn't 2137 01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:39,960 Speaker 3: have to be that beat writer with a bunch of 2138 01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:42,920 Speaker 3: reporters surrounding your locker after a game or something like that, 2139 01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:44,960 Speaker 3: but you might want to holler at me. So I 2140 01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:47,799 Speaker 3: wanted to be in their vicinity so if they wanted 2141 01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:49,400 Speaker 3: to speak to me, they can either come over and 2142 01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:51,479 Speaker 3: speak to me, or come over and say, look, call 2143 01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:53,880 Speaker 3: me later, or plan on meet me at this spot 2144 01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:56,760 Speaker 3: later or whatever so we can talk. It was my 2145 01:31:56,880 --> 01:31:59,080 Speaker 3: way of giving them that kind of access to me 2146 01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:00,760 Speaker 3: in case they will to reach me. 2147 01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:05,400 Speaker 1: In those in those like uh, in those situations like 2148 01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:07,559 Speaker 1: when you're closer guys have there has there been a 2149 01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:10,439 Speaker 1: relationship of years that has been burned because of uh. 2150 01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:13,040 Speaker 3: Alan Iverson or not didn't talked for eight months. And 2151 01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:15,920 Speaker 3: this is when I was the beat writer. Like for 2152 01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:19,040 Speaker 3: those that don't understand, when you're the beat writer, wherever 2153 01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:22,639 Speaker 3: the team goes, you go every single day, every single practice. 2154 01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,560 Speaker 3: You got to cover the team. I was covering the 2155 01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:29,000 Speaker 3: Philadelphia seventy six ers and Alan Iverson and I went 2156 01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:32,759 Speaker 3: eight months without talking. And the only time we talked 2157 01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:34,800 Speaker 3: well a couple of times where he was like fuck 2158 01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:37,439 Speaker 3: you and I like fuck you too, Like literally it 2159 01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:39,240 Speaker 3: was like that you said it back to him, right, 2160 01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:40,040 Speaker 3: Ye're right? 2161 01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:41,840 Speaker 4: I did you know? Because That's how I felt at 2162 01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:43,720 Speaker 4: the time, because I felt he was wrong, you know. 2163 01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:47,439 Speaker 3: But ultimately a friend of his that ultimately was killed 2164 01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:50,479 Speaker 3: the years later, believe it or not, literally got us together. 2165 01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:52,840 Speaker 3: And how do we get together? He had me meet 2166 01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:55,120 Speaker 3: him at the club at two o'clock in the morning. 2167 01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:57,720 Speaker 3: And I met him at the nightclub, and Alon I 2168 01:32:57,840 --> 01:32:59,200 Speaker 3: was looking at me like I was crazy because I 2169 01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:01,840 Speaker 3: showed up by myself. I said, I'm here. I said, 2170 01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:04,720 Speaker 3: I'm here by myself. I said, because I can be. 2171 01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:08,960 Speaker 3: But more importantly, I'm right. I did not do anything wrong. 2172 01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:13,040 Speaker 3: You did, you know? And we had a discussion and 2173 01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:13,679 Speaker 3: we were fine. 2174 01:33:13,800 --> 01:33:15,120 Speaker 1: Bulls claiming that you did wrong. 2175 01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:17,479 Speaker 3: Well, he was writing some articles, some article that I 2176 01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:20,799 Speaker 3: had written. He felt that I should not have written 2177 01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:23,880 Speaker 3: it because I didn't have all the facts. That I 2178 01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:26,320 Speaker 3: didn't get his side, and I was like, you mean 2179 01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:28,920 Speaker 3: after trying to reach you for three days?

But they called him out. 2354 01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:15,559 Speaker 3: And I didn't want to go nuclear at that moment 2355 01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:18,360 Speaker 3: and say that, but that's what I was thinking, like, 2356 01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:21,320 Speaker 3: you know, you got to be pretty damn weak to 2357 01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:25,240 Speaker 3: be instigating this kind of shrapnel against that guy because 2358 01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:26,880 Speaker 3: you didn't handle your business. 2359 01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:28,880 Speaker 4: You know, I'm not fault. 2360 01:42:28,960 --> 01:42:32,000 Speaker 3: I'm not saying she wasn't wrong and he wasn't wrong 2361 01:42:32,080 --> 01:42:32,519 Speaker 3: or whatever. 2362 01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:35,639 Speaker 4: But there was another element to it that came. 2363 01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:38,000 Speaker 3: With it that you saw there was a level of 2364 01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:43,479 Speaker 3: victim of vindictimness and hostility aimed solely at him. 2365 01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:44,240 Speaker 4: Who was not married. 2366 01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:49,200 Speaker 3: And he wasn't involved with you, so why is he 2367 01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:53,040 Speaker 3: the one suffering more than anybody else? That's where I 2368 01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:55,639 Speaker 3: was coming from, And those kind of perspectives you get 2369 01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:59,240 Speaker 3: from seeing a lot and being around a lot and 2370 01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:02,360 Speaker 3: covering and seeing a whole bunch of things that go on. 2371 01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:05,680 Speaker 3: That was the stuff that that noise away at me 2372 01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:09,439 Speaker 3: because I look for consistency.

We could debate, 2374 01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:15,800 Speaker 3: we can debate it or whatever, but consistency needs to 2375 01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:18,679 Speaker 3: be the order of the day when we're doing this. 2376 01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:20,439 Speaker 3: And that's what I try to bring. 2377 01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:22,560 Speaker 1: When you talk about you, you brought the code it. 2378 01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:25,040 Speaker 2: Obviously it's easy sitting as Steven A Smith right now 2379 01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:27,280 Speaker 2: to go.

Your first big break getting into 2512 01:49:28,439 --> 01:49:31,160 Speaker 1: national television? Can you talk about that and then also 2513 01:49:31,479 --> 01:49:34,679 Speaker 1: seeing it transcend into what it's become and obviously the 2514 01:49:34,680 --> 01:49:38,120 Speaker 1: the the the spotlight of stephn A. Smith. But when 2515 01:49:38,200 --> 01:49:39,920 Speaker 1: was your first big break on when you do hit 2516 01:49:39,960 --> 01:49:41,400 Speaker 1: that national television scene. 2517 01:49:41,479 --> 01:49:44,240 Speaker 3: I think when people would say when it was CNNSI, 2518 01:49:44,439 --> 01:49:46,080 Speaker 3: which was a big deal because I was on the 2519 01:49:46,280 --> 01:49:49,760 Speaker 3: NBA show on Sunday mornings. But I would say the 2520 01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:52,479 Speaker 3: real big break was when I went to Fox Sports 2521 01:49:52,520 --> 01:49:57,479 Speaker 3: Television because it was before the formation of the best 2522 01:49:57,560 --> 01:50:01,439 Speaker 3: damn Sports show period and I on their National Sports 2523 01:50:01,800 --> 01:50:05,680 Speaker 3: They had their National Sports Desk. Kevin Frazier, who's now 2524 01:50:05,680 --> 01:50:07,960 Speaker 3: at Entertainment Tonight, was one of the hosts, along with 2525 01:50:08,080 --> 01:50:10,920 Speaker 3: various others. He's a dear friend of mine, and I 2526 01:50:10,960 --> 01:50:15,360 Speaker 3: went there. Jim Rome had Rome is the last word 2527 01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:16,840 Speaker 3: I believe was the name of the show when he 2528 01:50:16,880 --> 01:50:18,680 Speaker 3: came to ESPN. It was Rome as Burning, which is 2529 01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:20,760 Speaker 3: always a great name. I always loved that name. But 2530 01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:23,800 Speaker 3: I was there, and Jim Rome would bring me into 2531 01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:26,439 Speaker 3: his office after shows and talk to me and give 2532 01:50:26,479 --> 01:50:29,479 Speaker 3: me guidance, you know, about some of the minefields to 2533 01:50:29,520 --> 01:50:31,519 Speaker 3: maneuver through and kind of things to watch out for, 2534 01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:34,360 Speaker 3: which I was always greatly appreciative for. And so I 2535 01:50:34,360 --> 01:50:37,920 Speaker 3: would call that my first big break because being in 2536 01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:42,200 Speaker 3: television and making that kind of noise when ESPN was 2537 01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:45,160 Speaker 3: so prolific, that was one thing, But then the creation 2538 01:50:45,320 --> 01:50:48,120 Speaker 3: of the best damn sports show period. They offered me 2539 01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:50,960 Speaker 3: the job full time. I turned it down, which is 2540 01:50:50,960 --> 01:50:54,360 Speaker 3: how John Sally got offered the job. The reason I 2541 01:50:54,400 --> 01:50:57,440 Speaker 3: turned it down is because I knew that my aspirations 2542 01:50:57,439 --> 01:51:00,320 Speaker 3: would end up at ESPN one day. I knew in 2543 01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:02,519 Speaker 3: order to achieve that, I had to be taken seriously 2544 01:51:03,040 --> 01:51:05,320 Speaker 3: and I would never be able to be taken seriously 2545 01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:08,760 Speaker 3: if I was sitting next to a comedian that was 2546 01:51:08,800 --> 01:51:11,560 Speaker 3: Tom Arnold every day. I'm not talking about him specifically, 2547 01:51:11,680 --> 01:51:15,519 Speaker 3: I'm talking about any comedian. It was a comedic show, 2548 01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:17,880 Speaker 3: or at least they aspired for it to be that way, 2549 01:51:18,400 --> 01:51:20,600 Speaker 3: and for me to go there and sit next to 2550 01:51:20,680 --> 01:51:25,559 Speaker 3: him every day. I knew esthetically, optics wise, that would 2551 01:51:25,560 --> 01:51:27,680 Speaker 3: not be a good look if I wanted to be 2552 01:51:27,800 --> 01:51:31,640 Speaker 3: taken seriously. So I declined to play that role on 2553 01:51:31,680 --> 01:51:36,280 Speaker 3: that show and instead elected simply to be an NBA 2554 01:51:36,439 --> 01:51:40,519 Speaker 3: insider for that network, and lo and behold. A year later, 2555 01:51:40,920 --> 01:51:45,080 Speaker 3: ESPN came calling, and two thousand and three I landed 2556 01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:48,000 Speaker 3: at ESPN and everything is taken off since then? 2557 01:51:48,280 --> 01:51:50,519 Speaker 2: How do you get to that conclusion with best day 2558 01:51:50,520 --> 01:51:53,240 Speaker 2: of sports show period, where they're offering you a job, 2559 01:51:53,439 --> 01:51:55,960 Speaker 2: they're offering you probably more money than you've been making before, 2560 01:51:56,240 --> 01:51:58,400 Speaker 2: and to have the wherewithal to sit there and be like, tactically, 2561 01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:01,559 Speaker 2: strategically in this video game of life I'm playing, this 2562 01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:03,280 Speaker 2: is not the move to make, all though it's better 2563 01:52:03,320 --> 01:52:04,200 Speaker 2: right now than it is. 2564 01:52:04,240 --> 01:52:06,400 Speaker 3: Same thing you're doing now. You're playing a long game, 2565 01:52:07,439 --> 01:52:10,519 Speaker 3: you know, clicks would be nice. Views per episode would 2566 01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:14,639 Speaker 3: be nice. A subscriber base that builds is something that 2567 01:52:14,680 --> 01:52:17,760 Speaker 3: you want. We all know what the business entails. But 2568 01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:20,720 Speaker 3: if you want to do something and just be a 2569 01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:25,760 Speaker 3: one off, that's entirely different than building a career that's sustainable. 2570 01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:29,080 Speaker 3: And for me, I always played the long game. I 2571 01:52:29,120 --> 01:52:31,160 Speaker 3: still do. I think ahead. 2572 01:52:31,240 --> 01:52:31,559 Speaker 4: You know. 2573 01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:34,439 Speaker 3: Somebody asked me the other day, they say, yo, man, 2574 01:52:35,160 --> 01:52:38,880 Speaker 3: what did you do when you got your contract in 2575 01:52:39,120 --> 01:52:40,000 Speaker 3: twenty eighteen? 2576 01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:41,880 Speaker 4: I said, I went home. 2577 01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:44,439 Speaker 3: I was a little sad for a little while because 2578 01:52:44,439 --> 01:52:46,519 Speaker 3: I had lost my mom a year earlier. God rest 2579 01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:49,360 Speaker 3: her soul after long battle with cancer. And I said, 2580 01:52:49,360 --> 01:52:52,639 Speaker 3: so I licked my wounds there because I was sad 2581 01:52:53,640 --> 01:52:57,639 Speaker 3: because I knew the kind of money that I was earning, 2582 01:52:57,720 --> 01:52:59,160 Speaker 3: what I was going to be able to do for 2583 01:52:59,200 --> 01:53:01,120 Speaker 3: her if she had been alive, and I had never 2584 01:53:01,160 --> 01:53:04,000 Speaker 3: had a chance to do that, you know, for what 2585 01:53:04,080 --> 01:53:05,599 Speaker 3: I would have been able to do for half. 2586 01:53:05,720 --> 01:53:06,880 Speaker 4: I signed that contract. 2587 01:53:07,240 --> 01:53:09,679 Speaker 3: But then ultimately I spent some time with my sisters 2588 01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:13,479 Speaker 3: and you know, and my family, my daughters and everything 2589 01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:15,160 Speaker 3: like that for the weekend. 2590 01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:18,000 Speaker 4: That Monday morning, I woke up. 2591 01:53:17,880 --> 01:53:20,080 Speaker 3: And they said, what were you thinking about I said 2592 01:53:20,120 --> 01:53:24,360 Speaker 3: my next contract, and I wasn't playing. I knew that 2593 01:53:24,439 --> 01:53:27,479 Speaker 3: I had five and a half years to go, and 2594 01:53:27,600 --> 01:53:30,160 Speaker 3: I was thinking about five and a half years down 2595 01:53:30,160 --> 01:53:32,519 Speaker 3: the road. What am I going to do and where 2596 01:53:32,520 --> 01:53:35,400 Speaker 3: am I going to be in five and a half years. 2597 01:53:35,720 --> 01:53:40,639 Speaker 3: And that is my mentality always to try to maintain three, five, 2598 01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:44,080 Speaker 3: ten steps ahead, to see the forest from the trees, 2599 01:53:44,160 --> 01:53:46,479 Speaker 3: to anticipate the kind of things that are going to happen. 2600 01:53:46,920 --> 01:53:49,000 Speaker 3: So I'm not lost in the shuffle and we're not 2601 01:53:49,080 --> 01:53:51,960 Speaker 3: rewinding the clock back to two thousand and nine where 2602 01:53:51,960 --> 01:53:56,719 Speaker 3: I'm asked out, unemployed, wondering what my prospects are, wondering 2603 01:53:56,720 --> 01:53:59,519 Speaker 3: whether or not I have any living off my savings, 2604 01:53:59,520 --> 01:54:01,559 Speaker 3: and knowing that I had about six to eight months 2605 01:54:01,560 --> 01:54:04,200 Speaker 3: to survive on that. My goal is to never be 2606 01:54:04,240 --> 01:54:07,080 Speaker 3: in that position again. And so I think like that. 2607 01:54:07,280 --> 01:54:10,200 Speaker 1: What is your vision? What are your vision for yourself 2608 01:54:10,240 --> 01:54:12,760 Speaker 1: down the road?

You might think you're building me up, 2613 01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:25,479 Speaker 1: Let me go show you how I can do it 2614 01:54:25,520 --> 01:54:27,880 Speaker 1: on my own as well. What is the north star 2615 01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:29,760 Speaker 1: look like for you five ten years done there? 2616 01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:31,720 Speaker 3: Well, the north star for me is to have that 2617 01:54:31,840 --> 01:54:34,600 Speaker 3: level of independence, to establish it in such a way 2618 01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:36,720 Speaker 3: where I'm there because I want to be there, not 2619 01:54:36,840 --> 01:54:39,920 Speaker 3: because I need to be there. I love working for 2620 01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:43,080 Speaker 3: Disney and ESPN. I love being associated with the world 2621 01:54:43,160 --> 01:54:45,080 Speaker 3: of sports. I think that's one of the five pillars 2622 01:54:45,120 --> 01:54:47,120 Speaker 3: in this nation that you want to attach yourself to 2623 01:54:47,600 --> 01:54:49,480 Speaker 3: if you can pull it off. And I'm certainly not 2624 01:54:49,640 --> 01:54:52,640 Speaker 3: interested in giving that up. But I'm neither going to 2625 01:54:52,760 --> 01:54:56,560 Speaker 3: lie nor be apologetic about what I want for myself. 2626 01:54:57,280 --> 01:55:02,560 Speaker 3: I've done a lot at ESPN. My contract's up in 2627 01:55:02,680 --> 01:55:08,440 Speaker 3: seventeen months. I'm interested in staying if I have the 2628 01:55:08,560 --> 01:55:11,560 Speaker 3: opportunity to do an abundance of other things that I 2629 01:55:11,600 --> 01:55:16,400 Speaker 3: want to do. If that opportunity doesn't present itself, then 2630 01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:20,160 Speaker 3: I'll have decisions to make, and so will they. I 2631 01:55:20,240 --> 01:55:24,480 Speaker 3: own my own production company. I'm producing a docu series. Actually, 2632 01:55:24,520 --> 01:55:26,480 Speaker 3: it comes out later this month as a three part 2633 01:55:26,560 --> 01:55:30,040 Speaker 3: series on the history of sports commentators. I've got another 2634 01:55:30,120 --> 01:55:32,600 Speaker 3: series that has been green lit a drama series that 2635 01:55:32,640 --> 01:55:34,600 Speaker 3: I've created that I'm not at liberty to talk about, 2636 01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:37,240 Speaker 3: but it has nothing to do with Disney or ESPN. 2637 01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:40,560 Speaker 3: I've created a drama series that's coming out. I've got 2638 01:55:40,600 --> 01:55:43,360 Speaker 3: my podcast, which is not really a podcast, it's a show. 2639 01:55:43,760 --> 01:55:47,000 Speaker 3: Why Because I spent my own money and seven figures 2640 01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:50,000 Speaker 3: to build my own television studio. I want people to 2641 01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:53,040 Speaker 3: look at it and think hybrid. It not linear, it's 2642 01:55:53,040 --> 01:55:55,680 Speaker 3: not digital. It could be both. You want a linear 2643 01:55:55,720 --> 01:55:58,960 Speaker 3: sports show, got you? You want a sports digital show? 2644 01:55:59,200 --> 01:56:02,240 Speaker 3: Got you? You want a podcast? Got you? You want 2645 01:56:02,240 --> 01:56:05,960 Speaker 3: a late night show done? You want an afternoon talk show? Fine. 2646 01:56:06,120 --> 01:56:09,800 Speaker 3: You want me to be another version of PTI or 2647 01:56:09,840 --> 01:56:12,520 Speaker 3: something like that, good. You want another creation of First 2648 01:56:12,520 --> 01:56:15,160 Speaker 3: Take Fine? You want me to create a weekly format 2649 01:56:15,160 --> 01:56:18,280 Speaker 3: show that would rival Real Time with Bill Maher or 2650 01:56:18,280 --> 01:56:22,480 Speaker 3: The John Oliver Show or The Daily Show. Fine, whatever 2651 01:56:22,560 --> 01:56:25,600 Speaker 3: it is, I can do it, because I've shown I 2652 01:56:25,640 --> 01:56:28,560 Speaker 3: can do it. And so that's where my mentality is 2653 01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:32,960 Speaker 3: having the doors open, the opportunities available to me, and 2654 01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:35,800 Speaker 3: being in the position to explore things that I may 2655 01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:39,720 Speaker 3: have never imagined because I never knew it was available 2656 01:56:39,760 --> 01:56:42,200 Speaker 3: to me, because all anybody thought about when they saw 2657 01:56:42,280 --> 01:56:45,840 Speaker 3: me with sports. Now they don't think like that anymore. 2658 01:56:46,120 --> 01:56:48,840 Speaker 3: They see my range. So who's to say whether it's 2659 01:56:48,880 --> 01:56:51,360 Speaker 3: me or somebody else that wants to work with me 2660 01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:56,120 Speaker 3: comes forth with a level of creativity and ingenuity necessary 2661 01:56:56,160 --> 01:56:58,400 Speaker 3: to say, stephen A, is what we think we could 2662 01:56:58,440 --> 01:57:00,720 Speaker 3: do with you and for you, is the kind of 2663 01:57:00,760 --> 01:57:02,680 Speaker 3: money that you can make. Because the one thing I 2664 01:57:02,680 --> 01:57:06,720 Speaker 3: will never apologize for I am about my money. I 2665 01:57:06,840 --> 01:57:10,360 Speaker 3: want to get paid. I ain't apologizing for that shit 2666 01:57:10,520 --> 01:57:14,720 Speaker 3: to anybody. I'm not talking about Disney, I'm not talking 2667 01:57:14,760 --> 01:57:21,600 Speaker 3: about ESPN. I'm talking about colleagues, contemporaries, people who have 2668 01:57:21,720 --> 01:57:24,400 Speaker 3: been in this business, who knows what it takes to succeed. 2669 01:57:24,920 --> 01:57:28,640 Speaker 3: Look at my resume, look at what I've accomplished.

I intend to get paid. 2671 01:57:31,680 --> 01:57:35,240 Speaker 2: I can tell you that right now on this on YouTube, 2672 01:57:35,280 --> 01:57:39,120 Speaker 2: when we post this black and white music behind it 2673 01:57:39,160 --> 01:57:41,160 Speaker 2: self titles the whole thing that is going to go. 2674 01:57:41,640 --> 01:57:43,400 Speaker 2: I want to see a breakfast episode to bring you 2675 01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:46,920 Speaker 2: Ashley dude it.

Lets you 2712 01:59:21,760 --> 01:59:23,680 Speaker 3: know exactly where he's staying. That's my kind of dude. 2713 01:59:23,840 --> 01:59:26,520 Speaker 3: That works for me now as he as polished politically 2714 01:59:26,520 --> 01:59:29,440 Speaker 3: as me. Nope, because he has no desire to be 2715 01:59:29,840 --> 01:59:31,200 Speaker 3: number one and number two. 2716 01:59:31,240 --> 01:59:33,200 Speaker 4: If we're being honest. He's white and I'm black. He 2717 01:59:33,200 --> 01:59:33,840 Speaker 4: didn't have to be. 2718 01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:34,880 Speaker 1: I had to be. 2719 01:59:35,360 --> 01:59:37,200 Speaker 3: So I get all of that, and I'm not knocking 2720 01:59:37,240 --> 01:59:40,480 Speaker 3: him for it. I get it. Pat McAfee is a 2721 01:59:40,600 --> 01:59:44,760 Speaker 3: sensational talent, and it would be stupid for me not 2722 01:59:44,880 --> 01:59:48,600 Speaker 3: to root for him because he's one of the pioneers 2723 01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:51,280 Speaker 3: in this business, just like Bill Simmons is just like 2724 01:59:51,400 --> 01:59:55,440 Speaker 3: Joe Rogan is in others what they have done for 2725 01:59:55,640 --> 01:59:59,000 Speaker 3: themselves in the digital stratospy, it speaks for itself. 2726 01:59:59,080 --> 02:00:01,240 Speaker 4: I'm new to this baby I got. 2727 02:00:01,360 --> 02:00:04,360 Speaker 3: I'm approaching five hundred and fifty thousand subscribers in ten 2728 02:00:04,600 --> 02:00:07,040 Speaker 3: ten and a half months. People see me, Oh my god, 2729 02:00:07,080 --> 02:00:09,160 Speaker 3: you're averaging over two thousand subscribers a day. 2730 02:00:09,400 --> 02:00:11,760 Speaker 4: And look at the views forever. So it's just climbing 2731 02:00:11,800 --> 02:00:12,200 Speaker 4: and climbing. 2732 02:00:12,240 --> 02:00:14,640 Speaker 3: And look at the consistency to growth, especially by God Bailey, 2733 02:00:14,720 --> 02:00:17,440 Speaker 3: the social media gurule. I mean these strategies. He's painting 2734 02:00:17,440 --> 02:00:20,480 Speaker 3: this beautiful picture every day. I'm looking at the fact 2735 02:00:20,480 --> 02:00:23,160 Speaker 3: that my numbers pale in comparison to those folks who 2736 02:00:23,160 --> 02:00:25,640 Speaker 3: have been there and have like a four or five, 2737 02:00:25,840 --> 02:00:29,720 Speaker 3: seven eight year head start on me. Why because I'm 2738 02:00:29,720 --> 02:00:30,920 Speaker 3: looking at who's number one? 2739 02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:32,280 Speaker 4: And why? Okay? 2740 02:00:32,520 --> 02:00:35,520 Speaker 3: But in the same breath, don't get it twisted. I 2741 02:00:35,560 --> 02:00:38,400 Speaker 3: love Pat pet knows that I'm rooting for him. I 2742 02:00:38,520 --> 02:00:42,360 Speaker 3: help him anyway. I can't help him. But we know 2743 02:00:42,400 --> 02:00:44,120 Speaker 3: who number one in linear television is. 2744 02:00:44,880 --> 02:00:45,400 Speaker 1: You know, way. 2745 02:00:45,560 --> 02:00:48,240 Speaker 4: Backseat, You've been number one for twelve years. 2746 02:00:48,720 --> 02:00:53,200 Speaker 3: People come, people go, people come, people stay. 2747 02:00:54,000 --> 02:00:55,320 Speaker 1: But there's a top perch. 2748 02:00:56,200 --> 02:00:58,160 Speaker 4: Now you could take it away knock on wood. 2749 02:00:58,160 --> 02:01:00,560 Speaker 3: It could be next year, be next week, it could 2750 02:01:00,560 --> 02:01:03,600 Speaker 3: be two years, five years from now, whatever. But since 2751 02:01:03,640 --> 02:01:08,760 Speaker 3: twenty twelve, it's been me with Skip Payler's, with Adam, 2752 02:01:09,360 --> 02:01:13,360 Speaker 3: with Max Kellerman, with Adam, with a potpourrie of contributes. 2753 02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:14,280 Speaker 4: It don't matter. 2754 02:01:14,720 --> 02:01:17,560 Speaker 3: I come to win, and when it comes to linear television, 2755 02:01:17,560 --> 02:01:20,200 Speaker 3: that's exactly what the fuck I have done. And so 2756 02:01:20,400 --> 02:01:22,520 Speaker 3: my attitude is, as long as I'm doing it, I'm 2757 02:01:22,520 --> 02:01:26,120 Speaker 3: gonna continue to win. McAfee or no McAfee, get up 2758 02:01:26,200 --> 02:01:28,520 Speaker 3: or no get up, It don't matter who it is, 2759 02:01:28,680 --> 02:01:31,800 Speaker 3: FS One, Comcast, whatever you come for me, I'm coming 2760 02:01:31,800 --> 02:01:35,640 Speaker 3: for you. I'm here to win. Digital is different because 2761 02:01:35,640 --> 02:01:39,080 Speaker 3: I'm a baby, I'm crawling. I'm an infant. You understand 2762 02:01:39,080 --> 02:01:40,800 Speaker 3: I'm saying I ain't even learn how to walk yet. 2763 02:01:40,920 --> 02:01:44,720 Speaker 3: You understand them saying let alone run and sprint. But 2764 02:01:45,160 --> 02:01:47,720 Speaker 3: once I get to that point, I'm a comfort folks 2765 02:01:47,760 --> 02:01:50,760 Speaker 3: then too. But in the process of doing so, it 2766 02:01:50,800 --> 02:01:53,440 Speaker 3: will never be to root for them to fail. And 2767 02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:55,720 Speaker 3: that's why I'm very guarded when people sit up there 2768 02:01:55,760 --> 02:01:58,120 Speaker 3: and they try to remember Dan Levata said one time, 2769 02:01:58,360 --> 02:02:00,200 Speaker 3: you know he wants to ruin Skip's career, and he 2770 02:02:00,280 --> 02:02:03,680 Speaker 3: had to retract that statement because that's totally false. I 2771 02:02:03,720 --> 02:02:06,440 Speaker 3: never want Skip to fail. I just don't want him 2772 02:02:06,440 --> 02:02:09,720 Speaker 3: to be number one over me. Same thing with Keith Shawn, 2773 02:02:09,960 --> 02:02:12,560 Speaker 3: Michael IRV and Richard Shermanham. These are my boys. I 2774 02:02:12,560 --> 02:02:15,160 Speaker 3: don't want them to fail, but they know who's trying 2775 02:02:15,200 --> 02:02:18,440 Speaker 3: to be number one.
