I enjoyed every minute of this. Dan was masterful as an interviewer, and Skip was open and vulnerable in a way we don't typically see from people of his stature. Thank you both for this incredible conversation and storytelling.
Dan is dope because he's super empathic, in touch with and fascinated by humanity. His goal is to connect and relate. As much or more of an artist as anyone. Love you, Lebotard!
Man, I've always been amazed at how absolutely impeccable Skips memory is.. He remembers who, what, when, where, why & how, dates, locations & names from short, long, small, or big moments in time back to basically 5 years old.
That’s likely because he’s ruminated those details from the time they first happened throughout his life, especially in the following weeks and months after. When you don’t have anyone to process those moments as a young person, you can hyper fixate and relive those moments in your head over and over.
How come he did not remember why Shannon said: "I'm in the hall of fame"? That was a direct response to Skip personally attacking him by saying that he was jealous of Brady. Shannon never said that Brady was not great. He was just arguing that Brady was not playing great at that time.
A legendary troll. the shit talking he receives is mostly justified. Everyone isnt cool with trolls. When he's acting like a normal person, he's perfectly fine.
@@mordecaidrake oh I am not making an excuse. I’m a big Lebron fan so he is pretty insufferable to me. It just helps bring clarity to who he is. Which makes me dislike him less. Which I think is good in general
@TheProphegy nah if that's the case admit when you speak incorrectly, instead of standing on it boarishly. (i.e. Westbrook, Sharpe, Aikman) yet sat on plenty stories about MJ. THATS a fraudulent writer/reporter and a disrespectful person.
This is why Dan is so great. Really good interview. I think it humanizes Skip while also being critical where it's fair to be critical. Skip's commitment to being the LeBron hater is almost admirable because of how hilarious it is😂😂
Admirable? Not at all. To blatantly go after ONE player, especially when NOT holding others to the same standards. Can't be biased or personal as columnist/reporter/writer/analyst. He has been purposely erratic and disrespectful for shock value and has often crossed the line.
This was awesome! As someone who drove to the Clevelander in Miami to watch Skip and SA go at it live in 2014 I really enjoyed hearing Skips life and how he got where he got. Pure hard work and dedication. Not many do what he’s done.
i like how Dan doesn’t let Skips monologues get him off track and he comes right back to the question lol. But as somebody that never thought i’d ever listen nor like Skip again, this was pretty damn good.
it's interesting how "put your glasses back on!" is the battle of gettysburg of sports media...shannon had every right to be offended (temporarily) about the "you're not as great as brady!" line. they should have remained professional and continued the show. i'm happy for shannon that he's thriving.
Dan did a terrible job at pushing back on what happened. He should have presssed skip more on this issue. He allowed skip to set the narrative and control the conversation. He gaslighted the entire situation
This could low key be one of the best interviews of 2024. Dan pushed Skip to be vulnerable about some things that a lot of men Skip's age aren't comfortable with. And Skip genuinely seemed willing to go to some of those uncomfortable places. Judging from the view count, this is missing way too many sports fans
Skip is a King Maker. Pulled Steven A from no man’s land on FOX after leaving ESPN , saved Shannon from the doldrums after being ousted at CBS, gave Jemele Hill a platform to speak truth to power, Cari Champion the first Black Woman to moderate a sports behemoth, and Joy Taylor rescued from local radio in Miami. Skip isn’t the nicest person in the world, but he gave a lot of folks some life changing opportunities. Everyone of these aforementioned individuals have platforms that we can only dream of. Objectively goes a long ways.
That's great but almost all of them relationships ended bad cause he don't like to see pple get big time around him why give pple a shot only to be jealous of they success smh
Respectfully what is your proof he was jealous…? In my opinion Skip was just being Skip. I think it’s pretty clear the man has always been himself and SAS has said this a million times. I think he is so far from jealous it’s it even close lol seriously. If someone truly is a jealous person they won’t help people they know will challenge their position. Even if they know they can help them they won’t even chance it.
@daweeza42 yea I totally disagree I'm just going the things alot of those same pple have sed about working with listen wut jamella hill talks about him saying to her Lol or even Jenny Taft he disrespected her she wnt even mention him...even shannon it was all good until his load came out and he started getting big time Lol...the thing I dnt like the most is he sensitive and a hypocrite it's ok gor him to call guys bish spice and westbrick when they play bad but when jalen called him water pistol Pete they had to discuss if for 3 shows and he got jalen banned Lmaooo how you that butthurt cause he exposed you sucked at sports smh that weak af don't dish it out if you can't take it🤷🏽♂️
@@7thswordsmenofthemist I hear ya and I’m not saying he’s a saint lol we all know Skip can be an A-Hole, but I don’t think he’s a jealous A-Hole. I’ve never heard anyone including all the people you named say once that Skip was jealous.
@@7thswordsmenofthemist 100% correct. Jamelle Hill even mentioned that. While she appreciated Skip giving her an opportunity to debate him on First Take, sometimes Skip expected her to constantly bow down to him.
Fascinating. Love this interview. I'm not sure if Skip realizes he treats the athletes like his father treated him figuratively. The athletes are like his children that he never had. Like how he said he was worried he'd raise his kids like his dad was to him. Dan was trying to get Skip to see this. Skip didn't appreciate his father and Dan wants Skip to see this relationship.
The absolutely saddest thing is that generation of man that Skip is referring to when he talks about his father, someone so "masculine" they are jealous of the love his wife shows his son has generational impacts to this day. You can see it in our politics, culture, and sports.
Somewhere along the timeline, whether that be the Boomers or Gen X, the defined lines of masculinity and femininity were distorted and marred. The stoicism of man, the feeling of but control of emotions by man, the yearning for responsibility & accountability by man, the reluctance to ever give in to emotional anger! The society that raised me implied that masculinity is impulsive aggression, selfishness, propensity for violence, and whimsical altering between disrespectful and egoistic behavior, letting emotions fly etc LOL WHICH IS ALL FEMININE NOT MASCULINE!

Dan is such a cool guy for doing this interview in the gracious way that he did it. I was expecting the Stephen A discussion with, "you destroyed sports journalism" and instead it was a kind and introspective discussion that felt a lot more like a therapy session.
Even though he’s not sports related, Skips brother Rick is an incredible personality and chef. I wish they touched more on the sibling success and relationship.
Skip’s said in the past they really don’t even talk anymore, or something along those lines. Wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t touched on because there is no relationship anymore.
@@patriotsfan122480 Given the really visceral hatred Skip has for their dad, I think it's not hard to see that Rick going into food like their dad is something Skip cannot tolerate or abide.
@@MinisterManDan I agree with that assessment. Overall, from this interview and what I recall from what he previously wrote about his early life, he’s always kept his whole family at a distance. Like he mentions how he would more often be at his grandmothers’ and only occasionally would his brother and sister also go. Once he went to college he left and never looked back, while his siblings stayed behind and dealt with their mother, pretty sure he also mentioned never asking them how they felt about either of their parents. All of this also makes sense to me in the way that he used that separation to protect himself growing up. Once Rick took to the kitchen, it was probably easier for a perceived bond to grow between them, his sister was the only girl but based on how he described his mother growing up (vain and self-absorbed, always wanting the attention), I don’t imagine she was doted on too much by her. Still, only they can speak on their own experiences and perceptions with their family, just as only Skip can speak on his, but it’s clear from Skips’ side he wasn’t very close to them. He built that wall to shield himself, as often happens, and from the other side of it I’m not sure how often Rick has spoken about Skip or their relationship either.
Outstanding interview. I've been a fan of skip for a long time (he pisses me off from time to time) but I've never seen anyone pull out this kind of conversation from skip. I think this will go a long way to humanize skip and understand why he is the way he is in the world of sports and media.
Hat's off to Dan! This was a thought provoking interview. I've only seen Skip talk about any of this stuff on his own Podcast show. I'm not sure if you can teach an old dog new tricks but some gently placed and well thought out food for thought never hurts.
BECAUSE SKIP'S ENTIRE PERSONA LIKE SAS IS BASED ON A LIE THAT THEY WERE THESE EXCELLENT HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES AND SKIP & SAS SUCKED!!!! SKIP & SAS LIED LIED LIED ABOUT THEIR SPORTS CAREERS BUT HAD THE GUALL TO CRITICIZE REAL ATHLETES🤣😂🤣😅😂😅🤣
@@monochrome493No it's not. Not at all. They didn't lie and no one cares, thats not why they were successful. Has nothing to do with high school sports
Not a fan of skip bayless and his takes. But I can appreciate him and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels inspired by his work ethic. Thank you for giving us his perspective, and you have great questions always. Cool stuff
Great interview Dan interesting seeing a different Side of skip and were able to pull things out of him to show why he is the way he is. Makes you understand to a certain point why he is the way he is. Great Job. Love your shows Love how your mind works.

This has been a great interview and insight of who is Skip Bayless especially with the breakdown of his makeup. Respectful school of thought debate between Dan and Skip as well.
the way Dan shifts his view to the camera when Skip says "the real 23 not that fake 23" made me chuckle. I feel you there Dan, it's like when your Grandparents give ya credit but still tell ya you should've took their advice lol. I for one got Jordan as the GOAT but always loved LeBron cus I literally feel like I grew up with dude, same with Kobe. I was still YOUNG YOUNG but the time MJ was on his last three peat but I seen so much of him throughout the years being a ball fan/former player before my right knee went to trash that it was just like "Yeah, Mama there goes that bad man" anytime he was on. Either way Jordan, Kobe, and LeBron all top 5, the real question is the positioning and who everyone's other 2 IMO.
I think that stems from the fact that he always seemed most passionate about the things he was so clearly wrong about, and the only things he was very passionate and right about, were topics that basically everyone universally agreed on. The majority of things he was right about weren’t things he or most people really gave a shit about either way, or that weren’t really debatable or contested in any way.
Skip was the only sports entertainer, who were in the right ballpark predicting how Westbrook would fit into the Lakers' lineup. It took months for Shannon to accept that Skip predicted the scenario correctly, and there must've been multiple debates that Skip won.
Winning is subjective when it comes to discussions. People can be right from their own position, especially when discussing something hypothetical instead of factual.
I really miss Uncle Skip on television in bra💯and as a black male that was born into trauma I see where the bulk and beginning of Skips trauma comes from as far as his parents and the love not being shown until the black woman came into his life and that’s why he is the way he is to a certain degree that he is and how he acts, and that goes to show you that no matter what race you are trauma does not discriminate at all and is widely among us all💯Salute to Uncle Skip man🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️Great interview
Skip should go on club Shay Shay lol 😂

It’s coming for sure… maybe next year but definitely when Skip puts out his book

"No ever said I love you"

Glass has two sides. This is incredible content. Good on Skip for doing this sit down.
@@AK-kw1sk He doesnt have kids so these athletes seem to be where his Dad comes out of him. Good for him to realize he shouldnt have kids.

I didn’t think I’d click play on anything Skip, ever again but here I am

"I've steeled myself from crying about myself or for myself." -- That's deep.
Dan asks Skip a deep and profound question and Skip talks about Tebow’s stats in 2009 😮

That was a direct response to Skip personally attacking him by saying that he was jealous of Brady. Shannon never said that Brady was not great. He was just arguing that Brady was not playing great at that time.

he grew up in a different generation

Also set a reminder to read a book, pal.

Skip was the only sports entertainer, who were in the right ballpark predicting how Westbrook would fit into the Lakers' lineup. It took months for Shannon to accept that Skip predicted the scenario correctly, and there must've been multiple debates that Skip won.
Skip has been right on Brady, LeBron, etc. He's rally knowledgeable on stats
Because thats not what he’s after. He wants to sound ridiculous so people will pay attention to him.
Winning is subjective when it comes to discussions. People can be right from their own position, especially when discussing something hypothetical instead of factual.
I really miss Uncle Skip on television in bra💯and as a black male that was born into trauma I see where the bulk and beginning of Skips trauma comes from as far as his parents and the love not being shown until the black woman came into his life and that’s why he is the way he is to a certain degree that he is and how he acts, and that goes to show you that no matter what race you are trauma does not discriminate at all and is widely among us all💯Salute to Uncle Skip man🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️Great interview
