The pivot better than I am athlete to me

[@LoserCrewL7]

Fred so 100. You know everything coming out of his mouth is real. He also spoke respectfully. You navigated this interview perfectly brotha looking forward to part two and Brandon’s side!

[@christiansmith7164]

Fred is right, you don’t use the partnership business to promote your personal business without partner discussion & splits and breakdowns

[@kris.jo2]

Big props to Loon!! This is the most Freaky Fred done opened up and let it off his chest!!! Can't believe he let you have this instead of putting it on the pivot! You're one hell of an interviewer!!! #teampivot

[@janicepowell813]

It pains Fred to even talk about IAA. It’s sad that it didn’t work out, but I love The Pivot!

[@alanfortune3092]

Me too!

[@craigwilliams5958]

Loon has great potential with this podcast but he interrupts the guest to much with his follow up questions. His questions are valid but the guest does t get a chance to finish answering the initial question or previous follow up question before he shoots off another question. It just throws off the flow of the conversation to the point where he and the guest are talking over each other at times.. I’m still here to support a positive black man in this podcast space. Just a little construct criticism from a fan is all.

[@itsuptherepodcast]

noted

[@drejax8646]

That response is good because I was feeling the same way

[@craigwilliams5958]

@@itsuptherepodcast you doing things like this actually listening and responding to your fans is just another example of how I know your going to be great and successful at this. You can tell you want to learn and grow at your craft. To be honest bro you and a select few are the only hope the culture has left at this point with true and genuine care for the culture in this podcast space. Keep grinding bro, it’s only a matter time before It’s Up There will be Up There (pun intended)

[@outof_mymind]

I think he was just excited. You gotta understand, he is a fan too. He didn’t mean no disrespect. You’ll be alight

[@itsuptherepodcast]

@@craigwilliams5958 i really appreciate that fam thanks

[@toddgoza3522]

Freaky Fred comes off as a down to earth cat, appreciate the authenticity

[@josephcoleman2341]

Fred T should be in H.O.F

[@LikthaDoNN]

First time I ever heard Freddy T talk this much. A silent gem in the game.

[@beeg4788]

Ray Rice interview on the Pivot would be a gamechanger if done right

[@JoeyBeanzLittle]

Fred put his trust in B Marshall and B played him… moral of the story is BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.. Fred should have believed in the show and just invested from the beginning. The Pivot is a dope show much success to Fred.

[@cgbodyauto7635]

One thing I got from the IIA convo is that “none of the same people are around B.” 😮

[@Og23_wave95]

Shout out to bro for getting this interview I can listen to Fred spit that real all day! I LOVE THE PIVOT I WATCH EVERY EPISODE!

[@makingmoves3650]

Brandon Marshall thought he was Eazy E and Fred was Ice cube 😂😂😂 Brandon green asf lil Haiti stand up

[@Davis_Jr]

Fred T a solid dude. B Marsh a snake and the views on his podcast reflect it.

[@ArloCaneCorso]

Coming from a Mexican/American I’ve been following Fred and this is my first time watching your channel. Just got my subscription bro 💯 let’s help all colors together Black & Brown ✊🏽

[@mrderrell79]

Wishing nothing but success to all these black brothas… I like all 3 of these podcasts

[@jonrite813]

BMarsh tried to hit them with the okie..😂😂😂😂

[@Nic_Ohhh]

Fred is like the village elder wiseman

[@teltrickgordon1259]

Great interview Loon! this one got potential to be a big podcast especially how your style is! only constructive criticism is letting them speak after you get your question out or give them a chance to speak fully before you say what you gone say next that way the convo can flow naturally.

[@nickwagner1145]

After Brandon speaks ima need u to tell him how and why he was wrong. There’s no point in this if accountability isn’t taken.

[@mandladludlu8359]

Fred jus sounds so sincere can't help but love this dude.........

[@rondo4]

Love to hear Fredy talk.. my boy 🤞🏾

[@ladyleo7274]

Great interview so far Loon, this is my second time watching I was a little taken back on the first with the Trap guy that did the King Von doc but this makes me understand what you were trying to relay in that interview and relate to you more. I’m anticipating the next interview parts of Fred. I believe what he’s saying but he’s always been very authentic, transparent, consistent and just a really stand up guy in everything I’ve seen or heard him being a part of. And that speaks volumes to those of us who stand on those things while others like the fake and fortune. There’s so much more than that in life and with him having those things he’s going to surpass anything that HOA and IAA could ever become. And I can’t wait to see him, Ryan and Channing get what God has in store for them. Thanks for this part, please don’t make us wait too long for the rest. You’ve gain a new subscriber

[@MsJay0913]

Thanks for this interview! I started watching IAA pretty early on, but dropped it sometime in '21, so I didn't know they had broken up. Fred's name popped up on my FB feed for something else, and this video came up when I Googled him. I really hate things played out that way. I really did enjoy the chemistry between the men.. And I did wonder what happened with Reggie! I missed him on the show.

[@evanmccord5396]

I appreciate the conversation. I learned from the both of y'all, thats powerful.

[@aliciahaulcy4143]

I'm a PIVOT FAMILY MEMBER, THANKS FOR HAVING FRED TAYLOR ON YOUR PODCAST... from area code (662) Clarksdale Mississippi Pride❤❤❤

[@baller45]

Marshall treated his friends wrong yes he may have been the one to put up the money to get everything together but when everything came to get squared straight off the rip he should have got every cent that he put into it..but he was trying to benefit and own there personalities because thats what makes a pod good or bad..and he should have split even pay 3 ways after hr got his investment back...and he treated them as all this business people actually treat these people and pretty much was robbing them of something i personally feel they was owed because i watched i am athlete due to Freddy T he brought everything to a level of calm and tranquility of the purity of a person and the sport ...marshall just a trashy dude that didnt respect his teamates so to speak...and it sums up his football career wanted the praise scoring but want to blame the quarterback when shyt goes south...god bless Freddy T❤❤

[@alanfortune3092]

You're nailed it! Well said....

[@Hartbreakkid904]

I can relate with Fred so much fr

[@richfamilylegacyent.1322]

This is a very informational, and genuine interview!

[@SolarguyAj]

First time on this channel. Love this channel and episode. Mostly definitely subscribed now. Keep doing yo thing brother ✊🏾

[@JRizzle20019]

Came across this podcast and interview due to being on my timeline...Now I'm a new subscriber...#AWESOME interview!!!

[@Blassie.P]

To tell you the truth it worked out for both B got I am athlete popping and Fred T and them bois started there own Pod so the beef was really a blessing in disguise so B really help y'all out so no need to be mad cause Pivot be making big moves.

[@seensay2132]

Trust like respect gotta be earned. Folks can save a LOT of heartache steppin into business with so called friends by nailing down details; documentation, sincere convos with the hard questions answered clearly. And be honest judging the character of those around you. Every brother you love or friend you cut for will NOT be great in business.

[@Djack-py8xr]

Very genuine conversation I can’t wait to hear B tomorrow

[@coreyevans2929]

Yo my boy Fred is a Real solid stand up dude

[@kevinpaulroberson7305]

Brandon Marshall didn’t grow up the hood. He graduated from Lake Howell, which is in the suburbs of Orlando.

[@DT-ol7xp]

Freddy T always seem like a real dude. Met you in Regency(Image) back in the day.

[@brewaters96]

Reggie being cut from IAA is definitely new information for me because i never knew he was apart in the beginning, i always thought it was Chad.

[@kbrock74]

I unsubscribed to that other show. The pivot is much much better. Love Chan, Ryan and Fred. Their chemistry is much better. ❤❤❤

[@jrod3109]

I am athlete needs to stop the hate .. #pivot is what b marsh had and let go period .. shady McCoy need to go sit down somewhere .. Fred is a HOF

[@Bleek904]

THE PIVOT IS BETTER AND I STOPPED WATCHING I AM ATHLETE BECAUSE HE CANT SEEM TO KEEP SOLID PEOPLE AROUND HIM TO CO-HOST. 💯

[@DemetriusOnTheMove]

Great interview. I enjoyed it. You have a new suscriber. Keep hustling

[@MrCleanMississippi]

Just found another great podcast! Fred T should be in the HOF btw

[@kaisongeathers7437]

You can tell Fred is solid

[@renewustretch]

YOOOOOOO this is dope!!!!! Glad to have been referred here!!

[@johncrazy9121]

I salute Fred t he the real deal definitely should be in the half of fame

[@Bkfolson]

Lesson is don't do nothing until everything lines up. Friends aside.

[@beardedfishermanllc]

Best thing I like about Fred he listens first!!!!

[@jamespatterson794]

Great interview champ

[@yardleypetitfrere]

I dead ass fuck with your podcast you ask a lot of questions people will love to know I see your growth in each episode keep up the good work king

[@marvinbryson7950]

As Fred said, ideas are all about integrity. Kind of like you start a rap group with everyone saying we're going to share equally, yet when it blows up, things change. Moral of the story, have your agreements/contracts understood and in place with any enterprise before you do any business. Also learn the basics of accounting e.g., a debit vs. a credit, how to read a balance sheet, and understand a income statement. And lastly, have an annual or semi-annual audit provision in your contracts to keep fools honest in the event they get extra.

[@quentinwatkins4880]

Good interview

[@damienhodges9761]

Fred T a whole LEGEND. WTH the nfl waiting on. Should have been a 1st ballot HOF

[@MoniqueLewisOfficial]
