As the NFL kicks off its first Sunday of the season today, we are getting in on the action too. Throughout this NFL season, we will be adding Sunday morning specials to our line up focusing on conversations with former and current NFL players, league updates, locker room buzz and breaking down key match ups as well as player and team outlooks.
Kicking off our first Sunday morning, we visited the NY Giants facility and had the honor of sitting down with NFL legend and The King of NY, Michael Strahan. This is one of our favorite conversations filled with a lot of gems, funny stories as well as pivotal moments over the years that had Ryan, Fred and Channing intrigued and entertained laughing the entire time.
Strahan, known for his 15-year hall of fame career with the Giants winning a Super Bowl, opens up on the current state of the NFL, the future of Saquon Barkley in NY and shares his thoughts on the type of year the young running back will have. Growing up as a military child bouncing all over the world and choosing to play college ball at a HBCU, Strahan credits his father for instilling core value but also a "when" mentality vs having the "if" perspective.
Transitioning from football into the media and entrepreneurial space, Strahan has set the bar high for current and former players paving the way for them to seek big opportunities in production, business affairs, admitting that the length and duration of his career helped him outlast the mistakes he's made.
Fred talks about Strahan's biggest pivot which he admits overtime has helped further his success off the field and asks about all the ongoing business endeavors he's involved with from the clothing brand, production company to Good Morning America to going into Space to the launch of his new skincare line Daily Defense. Setting an example to athletes globally, Strahan echoes the sentiment his father instilled in him that winning comes through positive relationships and true teamwork.
Ryan tries to wrap the conversation and get Strahan's perspective on life after the NFL while Channing switches it up talking about men's underwear referencing a recent debate Strahan had on Good Morning America about whether men prefer underwear with a pee hole or ones without. As you can imagine, this part of the conversation is one you don't want to miss!
Tap in every Tuesday at noon eastern and Fridays at 330pm eastern to catch some of the best conversations around sports and culture wit creative power

[@vlain16]

Man this show is wild, RC is like the teacher, FT is the straight A student and CC is the goofball perfect combination!

[@chillywilliedfw9093]

This is easily becoming the best podcast around. Ryan is a professional caster at this point, Channing is the flavor and personality and Fred is the level headed thinker. Perfect mix almost like the 96 Bulls.

[@brett444]

Not becoming the best IT IS the best

[@xelaander8429]

Channing delivered as usual 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭 that was a whole nother pivot

[@sandraammons3116]

Only Channing! I love him! 😂

[@localcelebritybolo]

Man I was crying 😭

[@kamauriceterry8224]

What time was the hair flip

[@freetoine7296]

Dude got me in tears 😂

[@kingdomcitizenship5613]

"The 'gap' between football and life"...I see what y'all did there😁

[@amillboi]

I seen it as well. 🤣

[@talltayls21]

Yooo thats dirty as hell 😂

[@MrStacyD1200]

🤣 That sho flew over my head; till u put it out there!

[@aamaker1001]

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the caption 😆 I love it

[@vittiriowashington5211]

Maaannnnn, I wouldn't be surprised if that was Chan's doing..smh/Lmao

[@wyked2000]

Can’t stress enough how much I love that you guys let the guests speak. You all ask great questions mind you, but you guys letting the guests answer and elaborate is huge.

[@TheLamont0914]

Chan is off the chain! He said the pee hole guides you so you cross your arms like an O.G!🤣🤣🤣 I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this interview more so than the one Strahan did w/I Am Athlete. This was more organic and Michael was more comfortable. Fred is consistently asking the timely,thought out questions! Great job!

[@guidedhands5811]

32:03 is potentially one of the greatest timed questions in an interview ever! This show is DIFFERENT.

[@jonduffey4285]

This one with Strahan is without question an instant classic 😅🤣😅. Nicely done Fellas!

[@GlennRoper]

Strahan is an amazing communicator. The elite level interviewee

[@madrsy]

They used "gap" in the title 🤣🤣🤣 This is going to be 🔥

[@erikhopkins9488]

You WRONG fuh dat! 😄😄😄😄😄

[@diegomagellan]

Just saw that too

[@herberthunter5570]

The PiVot is informing and fun to watch. Channing, Taylor, and RC bring such a balance. Channing is hilarious 😂

[@damonpenny5311]

Man y’all are setting the Pivot bar high. Just when I’m like it can’t get any better, y’all come with another great guess. Great show before I even finish watching it. ✊🏾💯

[@benwebster4746]

Word. Can't be said any better.

[@docfrombmore]

I agree...but Ray Lewis is the best defensive player ever🤷🏾‍♂️ijs

[@nomoapass]

I’m not creating no beef, but in my opinion, the Pivot Podcast has more substance and quality to what they’re talking about than other podcasts. My work day goes by quick as hell listening to life events and success stories from all these amazing humans. Much love to you brothas and sisters that push this content out 🤙🏾

[@ranilcurry615]

I would love to see the Pivot get Lawrence Taylor as a guest

[@viewmaster617]

That would be epic

[@Huhwhat9237]

🤣 he gross

[@bigbidnezznunnery5320]

Major 🗣

[@kinggmikee5236]

Neeeed that 😤

[@khwezikunene6837]

Micheal Strahan man. I'm from South Africa. I have never known what this dude does but I know his face. That's a testiment to The Ms brand

[@chosen1m0nt]

I played at an HBCU for baseball. We ate at Cracker Barrel every road trip. The HBCU experience will prepare you for the outside world definitely. I’ve learned to live of 20$ a month and that was for food and laundry

[@jacifrankie9893]

"Why yo big ass go to space?" Somebody put that on a shirt. 🤣

[@laurenp6818]

I love the fact that MStrahan. Donated suits to Coach Prime JSU HBCU football player. That was awesome. Such a nice down to earth guy.

[@waltporter7707]

Y'all going to get some kind of award for this show. I like how you guys interact with the guest and let them express themselves.

[@diegomagellan]

Emmy and podcast award show be in the future

[@justme8233]

Absolutely!

[@dricialovesyou]

The Pivot has transcended to an ELITE platform. Honestly, the Pivot never feels like a podcast or an interview. They make their guest feel like family. It always feels like a backyard kickback. Michael Strahan is such an amazing soul and every person can learn something from him which is always staying true to who you are. And Channing is such a comedian at the end. Keep it going, fellas!

[@jameshughes2560]

Yeah definitely got a Kool 👍 just hanging out with ur boys and talking about Life. Makes everyone feel like they been together for a while and catching up with each other 🙂. And Channing is crazy 😂😂😂😂.

[@orayshineo]

Channing is a National Treasure! He is the definition of Pivot.

[@D_Amayesing1]

You know your show is good when you don’t even watch sports and watch this show faithfully. Love it

[@charlesblack-mdh-3289]

What I love most about The Pivot, which I have been a member since day 1!! I love this show because ALL the guests are smiling.. laughing , feeling comfortable great energy. Whenever I'm having a bad day this is what i come to for relief and LAUGHTER!! THANK Ya'll so much for this. You all have no idea how much this helps folks like myself.. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. -The pivot

[@93tjfresh]

One of my favorite d lineman all time . Michael strahanc, john randle. Warren Sapp . power and rush ability the epitome Michael Strahan !

[@pinswade]

That Channing hair flip 😂😂😂

[@kaylamckay4463]

I have been still watching IAA along with PIVOT. Michael's interview on PIVOT was so much more genuine. The way Ryan, Chan, and Fred can carry a conversation and let the guest express themselves is amazing. This was a great interview.

[@ummof2167]

That little shake question that Freddie Flowers 💐💐 gave Strahan about his pivot in life is what makes the pivot the pivot❤️❤️❤️❤️ shout out to RC , Freddie T and all our favorite cousin Channing for always keeping this show 100 percent authentic

[@dirkantoine1]

Channing had me dying with the OG pee stance 😆😆😆🤣🤣 I ain't laugh so hard in a while..

[@kdthagamer706]

Facts 🤣🤣

[@betabetapsi]

These guys are the best. These aren't interviews. These are conversations with friends. Peace from Texas. Love yall. -cvm

[@phillipmckinnell8564]

This show is amazing. The 3 different personalities are so incredible together. You can not take any of them away or the show would not be the same. IAA was great when Fred and Chan were there. And th guest is IALAYS the focus on this show. You Don have Brandon always trying to make sure the guest knows how cool he thinks he is in every situation.

[@icantbelieveitsnotbutter8851]

Never thought about that part, having three supremely different personalities and they clicking.🔥

[@bladebrown8247]

They blend so well and the conversation is always so open and inviting that the guest is almost like the 4th host. This show is great. Salute to these brother's

[@Harry_Paratesties]

Brandon is a fucking clown. He ruined nearly every segment of first things first that he was included in, and ruined IAA’s entire thing.

[@beu2543]

What is IALAYS?

[@inreallifedoyouactthisway918]

Facts!!💯you can't teach personality and having great chemistry.I watch I am Athlete when it first started an it was great with Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder.I think the Priovt way better!

[@billyblackmon4796]

Strahan smiles when he talks, all the time. What a great thing to combine his personality with the Pivot. It doesn't get any better than this

[@herkyj]

Michael been on All the Smoke, The Pivot, and I Am Athlete all in the last two weeks. That man STAY workin!

[@cocolaru8915]

My friends and I were glued to this episode… One of my top 5’s.. Who’s ever booking your guest needs a bonus/raise!!!!!

[@Tonio_]

Absolutely love the pivot , another great pod with Stratham .. you know Channing always going to make it even more interesting.. great one guys , wished it lasted longer ..

[@starfireprincess]

The pivot podcast will do Strahan some justice unlike I am athlete. ❤️

[@ms.carpenter7793]

Facts

[@oasisfullfilled7617]

And why do you say that? Why every episode people mention I Am Athlete. They are pass that. We can support bot channels

[@RentonThurston1010]

@@oasisfullfilled7617 because IAA got an interview with him as well and dropped a clip and Ryan them dropped the whole episode petty move but I get it especially after what Brandon then just said about them on the Joe Budden Podcast yesterday

[@Toppradd]

@@oasisfullfilled7617 word .. ..can’t we all just get along .. pivot n try it ..

[@txtitan20]

You should like a hater. Just enjoy both programs and shut up

[@leronnspaternalpresencepod5247]

I saw Saquon's episode. And said about time they had a Giant on and now they bring Strahan in. Thanks for making my wish come true ✊🏾💪🏾

[@renziwil453]

Channon just stole the end of the show 🤣🤣🤣.. THE PIVOT

[@MoneyClipsSports]

Ryan, Fred, Channing from the first pivot to this one just keep getting better and better podcast for the culture much love ✊🏽

[@johndoe-tq3jj]

ANOTHER GREAT AT THE TABLE

[@Really.Kayshawn]

Imagine Sundays, wake up to a new episode of the pivot and watch it right before NFL Sunday begins 🙌🏾

[@whodat5492]

🏆🚀🏆🚀

[@domj9446]

Freddy Flowers with the greatest Pivot question was on point. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@spluckstar]

Imagine if the Pivot had Michael Strahan as regular in the Pivot. Watching him laugh at Canning made me cry laughing 😂🤣

[@billbixby3353]

I pray you guys keep this together this is the best podcast interview show I have ever seen. All intelligent black men giving knowledge. Much success to all three of you brothers.

[@kdw8592]

The PIVOT does an excellent job of drawing you in. As someone who never played sports it really takes you beyond the veil into the locker room and shows you how relatable these guys truly are. This it top tier content, we love to see it!

[@ronhouse8121]

Channing is an absolute fucking legend, his energy will never be matched!

[@malcolmx724]

For an unexpected pivot show on Sunday...Strahan was the perfect and only guess you could've had. He was perfect for Sunday morning...his vibe! Fred! What a question!👍🏾...it felt like you guys were having your regular Sunday morning breakfast. Could've watched, listen to all of you for hrs!! Respect 🙏🏾...

[@zacharydavidvbangura9873]

I swear I love this 3 brothers together, all the guests have never disappointe us, I don't know how long this show will last, but it's my prayer a brotherhood has been built for generation to come...

[@lamekoforbes272]

The pivot before football is a great way to spend my Sunday

[@jastallion45]

Yep!!!

[@gavennbey4045]

🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂 Channing Crowder you are a funny dude I swear on my life. Every episode you be on one. Y’all three keep going 💪🏾. Peace and love

[@peterforest3016]

I can truly relate to the HBCU sports traveling experience as spoken by Mike Strahan

[@thepraterkitchen1045]

The Pivot is the best podcast out, hands down! Keep up the great work.

[@kaobiokekeewo6316]

Shout out y’all for continuing to tell stories, teach, and have fun. What a wonder combination. I really admire the work y’all put in to make such good episodes. Pivot gang!!!!

[@patrickvalentine5238]

Channing never lets us down 🤣🤣🤣

[@restEZmo]

When God calls me home, I only have 2 request aside from giving him praise and glory. Seeing my Loved ones (Family) #1 and having Pivot Podcast Friday's #2🙏🏾🙌🏾✊🏾

[@candicesmith1708]

This was a GOOOOD one!!!! Michael S is such a down to earth funny and class act

[@ip4465]

Chan - Crazy Freddy T - Serious Questions Only Ry - The Point Guard This podcast is dope and so well balanced.

[@TheNarissa89]

I Love the 💎 Mike was dropping for the younger generation. Especially shedding light on the HBCU’s.

[@angelconde1478]

This is probably my second fav pod from you guys right under Beasleys. Strahan is different. He has a light about him that I admire. Great human being one of my fav players from his era. God bless him

[@whosashleyg]

The yard at TSU is unmatched. Greatest HBCU in the nation!

[@iAintSayDat]

Strahan image has transcended football. A kid walked into a place I work and said he saw Strahan on GMA and he liked Strahan’s suit. He had no idea Strahan ever played football.

[@swaggydesh4997]

As a kid who like TB12 when he was in NE, I can NEVER FORGET THIS MAN😂😂😂😂. Terrorizing

[@appollosharris6319]

Being a retired servicemen like his dad and serving the country and being stationed in Germany twice it is indeed an excellent way to experience people on every level.

[@JayDaReactor]

Another can’t miss episode Micheal is definitely a great person and has transitioned well from the NFL to National broadcasting. This will open up more ex athletes to try to do that as well. Bring on Nate Burleson next

[@youngKDTy]

Nate Burleson would definitely be a good one 💯

[@TBtheking405216]

Hasn’t be already been on?

[@sammckellar9227]

The chemistry of this show is absolutely amazing! Show after show it gets better. The guests seem so comfortable and the conversations are effortless. Keep up the good work.

[@RobertBrockwell]

This interview was absolutely amazing. Strahan is a true person and the greatest personality. The Pivot once again knocks it out the park with this one. Awesome job !!

[@coreymartin2978]

The Pivot is by far The Best Damn Sports Show on podcast, TV, movie, radio period!! GOAT Already!!!

[@diegotheyorkie1420]

Thats crazy he said his dad always said “when” and not “if” and it reminds me of that clip in the Super Bowl when he said “we’re going to get the ball back and score”

[@kynix3532]

Strahan is just a cut above the rest, a different kind of athlete and business man....True Hall Of Famer! Salute to the 3 Kings on another great one!

[@kynix3532]

@Tony G Not defending Strahan and I respect your opinion, but elaborate more on how he's a sellout?

[@CoachTerrenceDavis]

​@@kynix3532 Because in Tony's eyes he's Black AND successful and should be saving the world instead of going into space. 😂

[@henryphilips6563]

On a Sunday!!! Why it feel so right!!

[@krystalmcafee3488]

Another one! 💪🏽 Channing took me out when he flipped his hair 😂😂😂😂

[@melindaostergren8115]

Every episode has been wonderful-the best one so far. But this one with MS-tops them all for me. Of course, you’ll do the next one and it will be wonderful too. Thank you!

[@codew2467]

Just to echo many of the sentiments here, the Pivot is now my favorite podcast. The guests are amazing, and the personalities of Channing, Fred, and RC mesh perfectly.
