In life and sports, we are all judged on who we are in the biggest moments and for NFL players, now is that moment with only a few teams left in the final push to see who plays in the Super Bowl. After a wild first round, we head into the divisional playoffs and Ryan, Channing and Fred are making their picks, talking about the team's still left standing and of course Channing felt vindicated after all year of not believing in Dallas and seeing them upset by the Green Bay Packers.
Before getting into the weekend ahead, the guys reflect on our last conversation with Dez Bryant and being grateful for him opening up, sharing his perspective based on his experiences and how he uses them to create a better life for his children and future generations. The impact from his words touched so many and helped lead the guys into a conversation on discipline and parenting, as they talk about how important it is to set an example for the future generations. Whether it is on TV or in a line at Starbucks, signs of respect go a long way.
With the Dallas Cowboys’ loss during the Wild Card round of the playoffs, the guys speak on Dak’s season and agree that he has simply not performed in the bigger moments. Channing explains it the best way he can, which has the guys laughing in tears as he puts Dallas' post season success in "Channing" terms. Many thought this season was the one for the Cowboys to take the next step, but they are entering the offseason with more confusion than answers. Ryan emphasizes how players like Tom Brady were able to focus on the field when the spotlight was brightest and says that Dak was seeing the world instead.
The conversation shifts to the NFL’s greatest quarterback where they debate the importance Brady and Bill Belichik each had on the Patriots. Ryan opens up what it was like for him to step on the field and understands that as players and humans, we are judged by what we do in the biggest moments as Fred reflects on how much he misses the game and Channing takes Ryan's story and applies it to life off the field, where pressure exists and those who shine are the ones we consider great.
Similar to that competitive foundation, many analysts, like Stephen A. Smith, have been in the news for recent beefs. Channing touches on how social media has created this version of society while Fred says it has exposed it, and Ryan says it's become a world where everyone has a voice and the access to people who use to be in a different category is now easier than ever so it allows for people to feel they can speak more freely and confront situations that in past times would let slide. The guys recognize how it's become easy to judge other people in today's world and discuss some of the current media controversy between outlets, athletes and other personalities.

[@MidwestCincy]

LMAO 🤣 Deeper and you got your whole pelvis inside 😂 Chan crazy as hell

[@equality616]

As an Eagles fan, hearing Chan say the Cowboys can’t get the playoff coochie had me crying! That boy is wild😂😂😂😂 I love when he causes RC and Fred to burst out laughing. I love these shows!

[@miwawilliams1339]

Like they say...Chan g'on Chan.

[@TearfulSlayer]

That’s as far as they go 😂😂😂 here we goooooo!!!!

[@xchxmpagnepxpix]

RC describing his experience playing in a football game snap to snap was so vivid. I could see his experience in my head truly amazing.

[@teedubb71]

30:03 Fred got me CRYING!!!😭😭😭😭

[@dawnwilson3721]

Yall bring something to this podcast individually. This is a Great podcast. I can't wait to see this podcast in person.

[@linettejones]

Dez helped me as a parent it was really deep

[@dwrod24]

Ryan’s hoodie game is always on point ✅

[@johnhall5070]

Facts

[@ZuriJade]

❤I Love Them They Go Back & Forth Like Brothers 😂🤣 The Pivot Is The Best!! 🙌🏾

[@michaelwilson939]

Channing: Fred dont give no body else that money. Give me that money. Make that bet with me😂😂😂

[@d1inonly]

That close out is what makes this podcast so special. Because we love the games so much or because we want to be in the games and lack the physical gifts and/or talent...We as fans forget that athletes are also humans. This podcast has been a reminder for us that you're all more than the sum of the sport that you choose to make a living from playing. Amazing job.

[@brandonbress167]

“I dont feel like we should be using other humans as stairs when we all can be on an elevator” deepppp ish RC I love yall man.. never fail me ❤❤

[@amandahyland9522]

Dez Bryant interview was one of your best👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@davonte118burley3]

From my observation as an Eagle Fan, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick was the perfect fit like Fred Said Bill organized the Hits and Tom Carried out the Kills! Simple as that.. Tom was Bills John Wick 😂😂

[@rickys12]

Could say they were the perfect fit but since Brady won his first year with us. Proves Brady doesn’t need Bill but Bill damn sure needs Brady.

[@thetmad7]

I have never liked the Patriots but I do like Brady. I truly believe that Belichick was set up for failure when he was forced to trade Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo was 14-3 as a starter when Brady was hurt which proves that Belichick had his next QB already that knew his system perfectly. Of all the positions, QB is the hardest to replace especially when the one you had was one of the greatest. The Patriots had a great QB situation similar to Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers but Kraft forced the trade of Garoppolo and they have been suffering the consequences ever since. I’m surprised more people don’t mention that. Most people just say all the success was Brady and Belichick did nothing. Except Belichick had the Patriots defense in the top 10 for 16 of the 20 seasons Brady was there. Belichick and Brady were a perfect combination.

[@christianbodero536]

You all are the best thing going to date. Keep up the hard work. The pivot motivates me to work hard and be a better person.

[@yalindamoore2379]

[@user-pg5my4rf4m]

Thanks Dez definitely needed to hear that

[@sandijeffries]

Great conversation and show!🔥🔥🔥

[@TheUrbanGeekinTECH]

Great Conversation, Blessings!

[@bridgetp3989]

Love this podcast. The conversations are so dope!

[@jholmes7770]

37:27 agreed I know that feeling I don't miss it until I hear Ryan talk he could really be a coach or GM to motivate a team

[@em4160]

This is a great conversation u gentlemen have brought forward to the world as a single Father of 3 young girls living in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 I would discipline my kids in a beaten manner with a belt and I try have tried talking to then and letting them know what they did is wrong and sometimes they hear another time they don't this generation is far different than my days and rightfully so but they have been so caught up in the web of the internet and seeing these things and I have tone down from beaten them and more try talking to them and find other ways of discipling them and I thank you all for having this conversation and as a parent u never told old to learn to be a better parent to your kids ....blessings to the pivot and love watching your shows

[@kendrarichardson1752]

The Pivot should go live in an arena and interact with the audience.

[@justme8233]

I can’t wait!

[@zDoah]

First time watching without a guest on and I loved it. Y'all dont miss fr

[@stowash03]

Great point Channing! We should spend as much time teaching proper behavior than we do reprimanding wrong behavior!

[@S_67F]

Thank you Fred! Everyone wants people to pick a 'best'. You explained it well.

[@charlesleigh153]

Only problem I have about the Dak convo is not speaking on the defense and their inability to stop anything. Did Dak play bad yes but the defense played worse.

[@latonyawalker704]

The defense was hella bad and lost the game. It was their responsibility to hold the line, 3 and out, and not give up 10 yards on man-to-man coverage. They did none of those things.

[@rollinjeudy7878]

Keep it up, this is my Therapy Treatment thanks to The Pivot Podcast!!!!

[@MrBoom-tm4te]

I'm crying😂😂😂 these 3 are fools

[@blessedormessy6336]

Love u guys. sending viral moment blessings

[@CakeBoyCakes]

RC’s description of the game when it goes quiet was cinematic. If a director took that description and made a football film it would be epic!!!

[@jigstars]

55:19 - 55:32 I love how R.C. spoke about the situation with AB. Square up. Win, lose, or draw...we can shake hands and move on. If most of us weren't so afraid of taking an L, more people would be alive or not in prison. Great episode Kings!

[@darryledwin]

Great conversation 🎙🔥🎙🔥🎙🔥‼️

[@rhummons5096]

Keep up the good work guys.

[@seeaaannnn_]

i was just watching another podcast and how they criticized Jonathan and Simone. I left a comment on their channel to watch the full video before making a judgment off a 30 sec clip on Reels or Tiktok.

[@angelreactztostuff1902]

Where can I find that hoodie? 😂 as Freddie is saying this 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@Dragz0]

Y'all are the truth.

[@blackbutmild1]

After watching this interview, I've got a new opinion on Dez. Dez has really opened my eyes. This is a great one. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@arnettadickey2820]

May god keep on blessing y’all one love y’all

[@marcuscleveland9943]

HERE WE GO Fred is hilarious 😂😂😂😂

[@vraf1972]

Well said guy's great show

[@ahmedarfi596]

[@RodGRoy]

[@ayannadaniels6905]

Best podcast out there. I love what you're doing for the culture, the community, for athletes and MOST importantly - black men. As a hoodie lover, RC deff has the best swag and its a few thats on my list to purchase. Much love to yall!

[@rodfitzhugh4770]

RC I GREW UP THE SAME WAY YOU DID. I APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATION 💯🔥. I FEEL LIKE I’M CHILLING WITH THE HOMIES 💯

[@tommclain8893]

Good topic child rearing. I’m 61 I was spanked when needed thankfully I learned fast not to act up. Our children daughter 28 & 25 son y/old kids the same, both ended up with collegiate academic/athletic scholarships. They were faster learners than me. It’s not about pain but delivering a message. Pivot never ceases to interest me keeps me on my toes.

[@tyronemcfall1757]

LET'S GO!! I LOVE YOU GUYS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK LOVING THE VIBE 😂!!!!

[@sirhal91]

[@chipgamesportstv]

Salute to everyone - DC4L here and things gotta change

[@ViewsFromRiah]

Exactly RC!! Dak should’ve put on that HAT!! 😒🫣

[@trentalexander2413]

A scalpel in the hands of butcher is a knife but in the hands of a surgeon ii is a scalpel. It’s the same as corporal punishment (spankings).

[@dawg4life]

Here we go enjoy your weekend

[@amthebear]

[@Dandk88]

Listening to the segment about the baurista and treating them right. I have a habit of saying please and thank you when speaking to service industry workers and one day I was in the drive thru at Starbucks and the lady gave me a free coffee for just being nice because she said most people doesn't do that.

[@philipmeyer8801]

Dallas always a let down. You win most of your reg season games n lose in the playoffs. Typical Dallas. Not surprised. Roll damn tide

[@ebxiii_]

There's levels in life. Everyone and everything hasnt earned being addressed especially publicly. It doesnt matter if the talk is good or bad the fact they even use energy to talk about you at all means you won. Take that free promo and keep it pushin. Ignore the bs, its not at the level to even take time to address. Just point at the scoreboard and smile.

[@Blk_wal_st]

That dope for hoodie designers

[@kidWonder3]

You guys should look to interview RB's : Steven Jackson, Demarrco Murray , Todd Gurley

[@taragorman6351]
