Stephen A. Smith welcomes Channing, Fred and Ryan into his home for a special edition of The Pivot.
Working together at ESPN, Ryan and Stephen A. talk about how their relationship got off to a rocky start and how the two men were able to eventually figure it out and come to good terms.
Never one to hold back his opinion, Stephen A. shares his thoughts on topics ranging from his personal life to Kyrie to James Harden partying to the Iverson days to taking over "First Take" from Skip Bayless. The former college athlete details his journey into sports media and growing up in a household of women who were his toughest critics.
"I never dreamed in my wildest dreams that I would be in a position where I'd walk into an arena and be more popular than 90% of the players," Stephen A. tells the guys as he opens up about his current stardom.
Ryan talks about some of the more controversial stories Stephen A has sounded off on over the years including Colin Kaepernick, race issues and being suspended from ESPN.
Rounding out the conversation, Fred talks about making mistakes along the way and relationships with athletes as Stephen A says: I don't try to protect players from being accountable, I try to protect players from being character assassinated for who they are,".
Prying about the mysterious personal life of Stephen A. and why that is something he chooses not to share with the world, Channing says, "Why not talk about it, I mean I've seen your house, I'd date you". The First Take host jokingly responds, "I never ask anyone about their personal life, ever, So I don't answer questions about mine."
New Episodes of The Pivot release every Tuesday at Noon eastern with special shows on Fridays.

Channing and Fred are genuinely made for PODCASTS. Ryan is just smooth as silk. They are all terrific
-
"My wife nasty" LMFAOO Channing is absolutely incredible
-
This was a phenomenal pod. Stephen A. gave us some great insight into his thought process and as always Ryan, Channing, and Fred were excellent at steering the discussion where it needed to go. Thank you for this.

SAS is a top tier orator, this comes from repetition and pure craft mastery. RESPECT! Lots of people undermine that and write him off as just a loud mouth talking head but you can really learn a lot from this brother. You don’t have to agree with everything he says or does but you have to respect the work he put in to get where he is 💯
-
You already know the pivot is gonna let Stephen A. be himself. Conversation will be.🔥🔥🔥
-
I’m actually really glad to see Stephen A living a lavish lifestyle like this. Great example of choosing a different angle to still be around your sports dreams.
-
I've watched this interview three times already and every single thing that Stephen A said is a gem, especially when he talked about the media industry. As someone who works in media in my own country, I aspire to get to the level SAS is in terms of sports commentary, being connected, articulation, trust from sports players, managers, executives and owners. I'm glad that First Take is now being shown in Africa because I could listen to this man's commentary everyday.

This was one of the best episodes. Been a fan of Stephen A for a long time. Stuart Scott is definitely the God Father and Stephen A had taken it to the next level! Really appreciated his candor during this. The guys do phenomenal work with this show!

When they mentioned Mr Stuart Scott man I bout teared up. I’m sure he’s so proud of Steven A Smith’s success that was a heavy moment to hear
-
I got to introduce my dad to Stephen A and he was so friendly with my dad. Talked to him like they were old friends, trashed the Cowboys, and took a photo with us. I’ll always love him for making my dad’s day. He’s good people, and this podcast proves (again) how intelligent he is.
-
These dudes are killing the game! Make every guest so likable. I couldn’t be happier.

Man, I could have watched another hour of that. Stephen A is pure box office. The Pivot just keeps on getting better. Brilliant episode. Can’t wait for the next one!

Don’t agree with SAS on a lot of stuff but I can give him credit for staying true to himself. Great episode once again
