About this episode

Sage Steele and Stephen A. Smith discuss the complexities of being Black and conservative in the media landscape.

It has been three years since Stephen A. Smith and I sat face-to-face, and today, he is finally sitting in my living room in Florida! We have been teammates, rivals, and friends through some of the most turbulent years in media history, but this is a conversation you will never see on a sports network. Stephen A. Smith is more than just a "performer"—he is a brand built on a foundation of early failure and a refusal to be silenced. This is a masterclass in authenticity, resilience, and the power of a human connection that transcends politics.
