I don’t understand why networks don’t have political debates with a First Take style format. It would be so popular. Having Will Cain and SAS debate politics would be awesome. I know networks would never do that though bc they like having echo chambers but man I wish SAS and Will Cain created a podcast together. It would be as popular as Joe Rogan.
This was great. Two intelligent people with very different opinions on certain issues, calmly discussing and learning from each other. I learned a lot about where both are coming from. I wish this was the way it always was.
@@jamesscisciani8966 Sadly ppl don’t want this. Ppl want conflict and someone to blame or project their issues onto. Ppl coming together to discuss and have understanding is bad for business and bad for the consumer bc it forces them to confront their own issues.
I love how Will let Stephen A speak out his whole opinions without him interrupting or trying to add another question in the middle of response. They both handled thing’s extremely professional and overall it was a great interview. Well done Will Cain
As someone who is a left leaning moderate, I absolutely loved this interview. THIS is what we need 100xs more of on TV! Well done, gentlemen. Maybe there is hope on the horizon..
@@billymadison4903 I’ve never been a big fan but I have a lot of respect for someone that works hard and overcomes some big hurdles to be successful. The fact that his own dad told him he wasn’t going to amount to anything, and he went on to be a very successful commentator is inspiring. I don’t agree with a lot of stuff he says, but I like that he has the courage to come onto these shows, engage in some healthy debate, and walk away still maintaining civility. We should all strive to debate this way and maybe we can find some common ground.
I'm 2nd generation Mexican American I always watch you on espn. And laugh at the way you debate and articulate your opinions and facts. But you sir ,, have my total respect, as a man . I will be looking for your podcast. Thank you for your genuine sincerity. Much love David 🇲🇽
This really made me understand more about stephen a as a person and he seems like a hard working good man who wants better. He reminds me a lot of my dad
I miss Will Cain on ESPN. I did not always agree with him, but he consistently made compelling points. He was the only one to go against the ESPN status quo and challenge thier thought process. Sports needs him
Wow Stephen really laying it out there, lots of respect for his truth, self awareness, and perspective. He’s so much more than the screaming man on ESPN
Will needs to go back to ESPN and be Stephen As permanent partner on First Take! These two were great together on the show and Will never backed down from anything Stephen A said… always brought the best out of him.
I always thought the same idea but like Stephen A. said in the beginning Will would be getting ripped throughout most segments on the show lol. Always enjoyed Will on ESPN especially after Skip’s departure but since then he’s nothing but exceptional at what he does at Fox
No way ESPN employs or re-employs another outspoken conservative voice on their network. Pigs will grow wings and fly and hell will freeze over before something like that happens again IMO.
@@Clarkbar79 race or personality or whatever you want to call it doesn’t belong to any party. I’m neither republican or democrat and I believe in certain republican beliefs over democratic beliefs. Just depends on the person but Stephen A. Don’t bite his tongue when looking out for his ppl
I agree man will Cain didn't pull any punches with anyone dude would go bonkers every show probably one of the best debaters opposite Stephen A in my book
As much as I can’t stand some of the things that Stephen A says and as annoying as he can be at times, It’s almost impossible to not come away with a level of respect for him as a man and as a personality. He’s one of the very few people left at espn I can appreciate.
Stephen a smith is a real man for this interview he can stand in the fire with his views. To be raised with such control over emotion and an ability to articulate these points with control of his emotions with topics this on the edge is elite. He deserves more than he’s worth. Very powerful man.
One of the best conversations i have ever listen to,all of us can learn a lot from both of these mem.I have much respect for Stephen A after this as he spoke not off the top of his head but he brought facts & truth 👍💯
I often wondered how Stephen A. truly felt about Will Cain back in those First Take days. (If he liked him or not.) So it's good to see them together in this interview.
@@BobbySlickRick i think at the end of the day he did like will more than max but i feel that was also a result of being around max all day and having to hear what he considered max’s idiotic takes. I can see sas getting tired of will pretty quickly if he had to deal with it on a daily basis. My 2 cents
Sas has final say on who comes onto first take so without his permission those debates never would have happened. Shephen a is smart when it comes to who he allows onto his show
This is how we are suppose to be. This is how politics is suppose to be. It's ok to disagree respectively. Same as real life. Hope we can get back to that. Thanks for this podcast Will with Stephen A.
Man I freekin MISS WILL CAIN!!!!! Gosh it’s been too long man!!! I wish he was still on ESPN and stuff but man this is so great for him!! God bless Will Cain!!!
I have full custody of son . I've been the Mom and the Dad a lot of his life . I was raised by my Momma alone . It's better to have two loving parents in the home . Women are special and bring something special to the table ,and so do good men .
I'll keep it a buck. This interview is really good. I didn't like Will Cain on FT, but this interview, the relaxed, not performing version of Stephen A is so much more interesting to me. Will Cain is good here. Very good.
Will’s beef with Max made Will look angry because those two were on two different ends of the spectrum. Max was so liberal it made Will seem extremely biased.
I loved this !!!!!! I use to watch these two on ESPN . It's awesome to hear the honest perspective of these two on there personal relationshipsl with each other and with there family. It's also awesome to hear them speak on there outlook on the industry and social issues.
yeah that was a great discussion. I wasn't sure if it was going to keep my interest but they both spoke very eloquently and I couldn't turn it off. Bravo.
This made me like Stephen A a lot more. He has some things I completely disagree with but coming on here and having a calm discussion about certain issues is something very few people on his side will do
Wow great interview & we need more of this kind of debates & discussion. These two need a show together about everything. This needs to happen, this was awesome
Many/most black Americans are ‘conservative’. Most goto church and espouse conservative views and values. The strong majority of black folks do not vote Republican, because of the GOP’s embrace of division and basic racism since the southern strategy in 1968.
Congrats to you both on being such professionals when it comes to your crafts. This interview was top notch. I've been a fan of you both for years and seeing you guys on this side of the fence (of the sports world) is pleasantly satisfying. I remember you guys going at it on First Take with your heated rivalry. They were by far the best moments of First Take. Dare I say the Ying and Yang of debating. Wish you two could do this more often. Much respect and blessings to you both!
Feels so good seeing these two bros back together again. Missed this.
Why they both suck . But it says a lot about you
just missing max kellerman and the trio is complete

Bravo Will Cain!! Such a wonderful and healing act having you and Stephen demonstrate this level of love and respect for one another!! I applaud you!

Wow, this was actually so good. BRAVO to the two of you 🫡
I'm a black man from the south, but I love both of these guys equally!! They leave no stone unturned!! An Yes, I do think them both are fair.
So great to see these two together again. Will was the best antagonist Stephen A’s ever had on First Take.
Should have given Cain the job over Max. Will knew how to debate, if even we didn't agree
@@harrymic75 Max was the only reason I could watch that show
Max was a liberal though so he's bad
Will knows how to debate.. In which half of the time is Waffle.. Max knows Sports an actual Sports Analyst..
@@harrymic75 Yep. Will Cain had very interesting takes and didn't drone on and on like Max.
Stephen A is the real deal. Love seeing him and Will Cain together again!

I respect you more Stephen A. Thanks for your viewpoint on Father's. Take care of those daughters.
This was great. Two intelligent people with very different opinions on certain issues, calmly discussing and learning from each other. I learned a lot about where both are coming from. I wish this was the way it always was.
And that's not a shot at the network. I'm saying I wish all networks had more of this.
Well stated
will is not of sound mind

Unlike how he was being treated at espn

You're crazy

Stephen A Smith is an amazing story. You’re a hater
Will needs to go back to ESPN and be Stephen As permanent partner on First Take! These two were great together on the show and Will never backed down from anything Stephen A said… always brought the best out of him.
No, Will is right where he belongs at Fox participating in Klan rallies.
No way will goes back to that woke BS sports channel 😂

No way ESPN employs or re-employs another outspoken conservative voice on their network. Pigs will grow wings and fly and hell will freeze over before something like that happens again IMO.
I always believe people can still be real friends even though they are in 2 different parties. Kuddos to these 2 gents
They are both republicans. Stephen is a moderate Republican and will Cain is a maga trump republican.
Stephen A Smith is a republican trust me.
Ehh f*** Republicans and Democrats who cares about these parties talk about the man the character.
@@Clarkbar79 nothing wrong with that

These needs millions of views best convo I’ve ever seen! On god
Stephen A Will Cain respect each other. Happy they did this.
Good to see Will and Stephen A. back together! I really enjoyed Will when he was on First Take on ESPN debating Stephen A.!
Great interview Will Cain, had SA really open up and he was very comfortable answering !
These two used to crack me up...epic debates
I agree man will Cain didn't pull any punches with anyone dude would go bonkers every show probably one of the best debaters opposite Stephen A in my book
I would love to see these get into more debates over political topics. Fox needs a voice like Stephen A.
That one huge blow.up between these two ...unforgettable 😂
I loved will cain on that channel. But I knew they weren’t ready for him
Could never stomach listening to Will Cain until seeing this interview. Well done, Mr Will Cain. Well done on this piece
Could never stomach listening to Steven A. Smith until seeing this interview. Well done, Steven A. well done on this piece.

Kudos Mr. Smith. CLASS act
Might be the best interview of his I've seen in some time.
What I like about Stephen A Smith is he's honest and very genuine. Stephen A ALWAYS speaks his mind and with respect for others.
I wish we could have more civil conversations like this when it comes to politics. Bravo to both men
Why is Stephen A. not leading his own late night show?
Two grown men acting like grown men! Much respect to both of you.
I appreciate the candor, disagreement, and ultimately the respect. Nice conversation

I often wondered how Stephen A. truly felt about Will Cain back in those First Take days. (If he liked him or not.) So it's good to see them together in this interview.
Always thought Stephen A liked Will more than Max Kellerman
First Take is Steven's show. Cain wouldn't be there if SAS ain't like him. Will Cain was needed to balance out Max Kellerman's super liberal wokeness.
@@BobbySlickRick i think at the end of the day he did like will more than max but i feel that was also a result of being around max all day and having to hear what he considered max’s idiotic takes.

Sas has final say on who comes onto first take so without his permission those debates never would have happened. Shephen a is smart when it comes to who he allows onto his show
Almost made me cry Stephen a good answer
This is how we are suppose to be. This is how politics is suppose to be. It's ok to disagree respectively. Same as real life. Hope we can get back to that. Thanks for this podcast Will with Stephen A.
I think S.A.S is little more conservative than you think
@@Nextlevelestl618 I think so too I always thought he was a crazy lefty who was racist but I think ESPN makes him say certain stuff
Stephen A Smith Keep Telling Like It Is Amen
This is definitely Will Cains lane this is some good stuff
Wow wow wow!! This is a conversation that transcends... congrats to Will and Stephen
Stephen A Smith is an inspiration.
Man I freekin MISS WILL CAIN!!!!! Gosh it’s been too long man!!! I wish he was still on ESPN and stuff but man this is so great for him!! God bless Will Cain!!!

Always been a Stephen A fan! This is just icing on the cake.
Steven A had my respect by 4 minute mark. I think some of his personality comes out on TV but I also think a lot of it is for show.
Wow!!! This was a great segment!!! Just what we need!!! Thank you Mr. Stephen
Lol if you are real you are real stupid
U r absolutely beautiful!! ❤❤❤
More of THIS! This is what our country needs 🇺🇸
Great Conversation between you two! I definitely watch again if you bring him back as a guest again!
I didn't like Will on ESPN but i understand and respect his position and how real he is. Salute.

Wow great interview & we need more of this kind of debates & discussion. These two need a show together about everything. This needs to happen, this was awesome
We have plenty of talkers. We need doers and for people to be held accountable for their actions.
Stephan A Smith is awesome .. and always right!
SAS is a conservative but can’t get cancelled thus he sucks up to ESPN. He’s playing it well. Do you blame him.
He's making 15m a year doing what ESPN thinks sportsfans want/need.
