I enjoy this podcast and has been apart of the Pivot family sense it’s inception. Whenever they have guests I don’t rock withlike SAS, I simply do not watch. We all have that choice. Just Do It! (swoosh)

The problem is I have never heard SAS going at Marjorie Taylor Greene or Lauren Boebert the same way he went at Jasmine Crockett.🤔

You three could never be canceled in my eyes. Platforms like yours are essential for conversations like these. I’ve been here since day one with my mom, and I’ll always stand by you. The catalog, the consistency, the heart — none of that can or will ever be overshadowed by who you choose to feature.

The problem with stephen a smith is that he talks in circles.... He apologizes for certain statements but then go on to regurgitate those same statements.

Fred has well balanced thoughts and talking points. Plus, he gas a great voice and speaks with a soft authority that causes me to really listen. I think you guys are a great balance on almost any topic regardless of the topic.
