Me too

[@FMD023]

Great way to put it. Channing is not the one to take advice from but he is funny af. Fred always spittin knowledge. Him and B Marsh was that show. You can't be mad at b marsh because it was the one to start up IAA with his own money and IAA was failing before the pandemic. Can't blame anyone but its just unfortunate they all could not come to terms. Like Fred Said B marsh is set on the entrepreneurship while Fred and channing set on different. Hope both podcast succeeds.

Freely Fred. I like that

[@reeb.7742]

Me too!!! I’m so happy this group. They seem more genuine. The old show used to be one sided and they never let my boy Fred speak.

[@EAJ1980]

Glad Channing and Taylor branched out and introduced Ryan Clark to the party. IAA was/is cool but definitely changed. Marshall has a vision of a brand with IAA. Pivot seems to be more about getting back to the basics. Crowder always had me laughing.

[@Miss_Dani_DWhit]

@Edward Jordan III I agree wholeheartedly.

[@jwilks9402]

Exactly, I like what they've gotten back to.

[@KeithLaGrone]

I understand what they are saying, but I’m not sure what the differences are?

[@Miss_Dani_DWhit]

@@KeithLaGrone IAA has transformed into an entire brand regarding sports (fashion, fitness, I believe representation, etc.), beyond a Podcast. Checkout the IAA Instagram page for the details and reference. It's become more commercial than independent.

[@reemcfall]

I have to agree! Their authentic energy is what drew me into IAA even as a women who doesn’t follow football! I got so much more from the podcast then I looked up and it was gone…replaced with I am NASCAR! This lost me because I didn’t see the shift coming and didn’t know it was necessary! Thank you brothers for hopefully bringing back the basic humorous conversations that initially pulled me in.

[@Spacesprocketz]

@Unknown Name The Podcast bag must be INSANE. It seems from the outside looking in, it seems like the same issue that the Joe Budden Podcast guys went through. They kept it way more professional here though.

[@gregordrizzlewing7339]

Did they get money from nascar to push the NASCAR’s agenda to new audiences? Just seems silly if people didn’t wanna watch it after the bubba interview and that was a good interview you should of known they didn’t wanna listen to that shit once a week. Creative control is always a problem when someone is blind he’s got two eyes and can only see half the picture (I’m so glad I got to use that quote shout out Odin) 😂😂

[@millicenthamilton-kakowski8275]

[@calvinfelton4077]

I agree you nailed it. it's what made IAA stand out. It was like therapy.

[@mustysmells817]

From what i've understood, it can be simplified and split into different parts; I AM ATHLETE for BMarsh and the production team, meant having an identity more to than what you were when you played. That there was something more to a person than being a simple athlete and having new ideals that push you past what you were. I AM ATHLETE for Fred and Channing, is the realities of what it means to be an athlete. That there are insights and perspectives on how being an athlete affects who you are as a person and how it cultivated and matures you. It's evident because of the things they talked about, and it mixed in the early days because their conversations shined light between these two dichotomies. As the show got bigger and started to change, these differences became more obvious. I think Ocho was a good bridge because he can be part of both shows, because for him there is Ochocinco and there is Chad Johnson. He understands both the aspect of having an identity greater than yourself, but there is nothing realer than Chad Johnson as the person.

It sounded much more simple than all this from Fred and Channing on other platforms. They were under the impression that they weren't brought in to be talent. Somebody's employee.

Fred already dropping gems and Channing already Turnt!!! I am excited about this!!!

[@BrockwellFarm]

Pivot is a powerful process!! These guys let you know it's ok to pivot and to still remain relevant, respected and respectful. I've watched every episode and have brought away knowledge and a better attitude towards fear and my end game. Don't be afraid to be you and when the time comes for moving on then we must pivot. The pivot covers across the board whether you are black, white, purple or pink it's for the masses. Pivot is and will always be my go-to vids for self help and motivation. You guys are changing lives for sure. For me it's about the life pivot and you guys show people the way.

THE BOYS IS BACK!!! WE BEEN WAITING PATIENTLY FOR RHE OG’s. YALL HEARD US AND DELIVERED, WE LOCKED IN!!!!!

[@nurse_caveman7100]

Damn felt right at home, with everything said. I feel like I'm back in FL living my best life. Let's get this to a million subscribers!

[@frantillman2486]

I feel like I’m dreaming I finally found y’all here and I’m so excited. I wasn’t sure what happened with IAA but really I don’t care. I respect the business decision to pivot and I’m 100 percent onboard. Y’all were my favorites with who I connected with and I’m just so glad I found you here! Thank you for bringing real conversations to this platform. Blessings!👏🏽

[@lanat5775]

I'm with you I would make time in my Monday schedule to watch IAA , bit all of a sudden my faves were gone. I was roaming these youtube streets looking for ya'll. Glad I found them. New subscriber

[@sophierobertson6414]

I love all of them for different things they are so humble. So refreshing Fred is something special I love to hear him talk I swear I tuned in for all but Fred's voice and delivery is I don't know... soothing to me.

[@kishababi4463]

Because he’s an Aquarian 😊😊

[@gifi11]

This is super sad as a fan of IAA. But Fred is 100% right. Pivoting in life can be super hard and sad. Sometimes in the long wrong it's the best for u

[@ricklewis3635]

No disrespect to IAA PODCAST but y'all boys really made the show funny u 2 and of course OCHO mad love and respect to u guys and the pivot

[@johnblake9817]

Ocho need to be with the real ones over here and this just proved Brandon was the problem

[@missthuli6901]

The vibe on IAA really changed, I watched less and less, until I stopped watching. Something was missing. I'm so happy to see that the guys have Pivot now, I'll be tuning in every episode. So excited to see the guys again

[@KiDRiCH305]

RC intelligence on how to direct the conversation is amazing I hope he is part of this cast. CHANGING care free humor is so real wich makes it that more funny. Freaky Fred love how you the Og to make things feel authentic and pure. PIVOT is going to be amazing if you continue giving the people the real much love to ya kings 💯

[@tamekajackson9955]

Please keep this intimate format. I loved it! It’s like on IAA when you guys were on the couch. The intimate conversation (locker room talk). When you get away from that format and try to put it up on a stage like a play is when you lose the personal touch of the show. That’s when it starts to fill like I’m buying tickets to a speaker series. See y’all on Tuesday!

[@CurtisMiami]

I was rocking with IAA until the nascar content. I’m here for Crowder, Fred and Ryan. Support

[@brianenos6072]

Those guys made a mistake letting these 2 walk away they bring a knowledge and presence that those men can't and won't bring and add Ryan and you just can't go wrong. I truly hope that this works out for yall and young men listen there's lessons in this.

[@chocolategirl443]

PERFECT TITLE. Fred I missed you guys on IAA. Glad to see what you and Channing has created. I’m rocking with you all on PIVOT. Let’s go!

[@fahmi5759]

Like many others I’ve been wondering where y’all been. I’m beyond happy that you started your own thing. The vibe on the IAA podcast did change. It wasn’t the good old barbershop talk anymore. I do appreciate B Marsh for introducing you to us so I’ll be always thankful to him for that. However I do believe that his mindset of wanting to branch out will eventually be the demise of the whole project. Why change a winning and consistent formular when that same formular brought you the success and reach you have today? Thank you Ryan for asking the right questions and thank you Fred and Channing for being real with us. I ain’t lying when I say that you always put a smile on my face when I hear you talking. Y’all already became my favorite program to watch. God bless y’all and much love from germany

[@richb27]

I just found this show and watched a few episodes today. I love these guys and their realness. As a black man looking for something out there to inspire me, this surely is one of them. I hope it never ends - fan from the start!

[@LifeWithLex07]

I'm still here for IAA and now I'm also here for The Pivot! I got enough love and support for both platforms. I'm excited to see where this goes.

[@mrflyguy7]

Channing is gold. He’s clearly the least accomplished of the guys as a football player but he brings so much to the podcast that can’t be matched. Happy for these guys. Hope BMarsh do well but he always seemed a bit self centered and always wanted it to be known that it was his show and his company. Fred Channing and Ocho is just as important as him. Reminds me of the Joe Budden podcast. Glad these guys didn’t bash each other tho

[@joshrennie4109]

This is literally what I have been missing from IAA. They lost me with the overkill of Nascar. It was good to see the diversity, but it was too much. Glad to see Channing and Fred keeping this narrative going. So excited for the future of this pod.

[@SmaddyT]

The first couple episodes were awesome then I'm like oh damn they still doing this.... lmao

[@roknox5400]

Right

[@DrankSippaa]

Yea the nascar thing brought new fans but it was an overkill

[@leonidas1794]

It smelled fishy, and i stopped watching it.

[@itsyaaveragegirl]

Also the overkill with the checking in, and trying to push them to talk about their feeling when they didn’t want to. It was like Brandon wanted to push the sensitive, athlete narrative

[@patrickt955]

My guy Ryan did a hella job asking the right questions to OG and Channing👏🏽👏🏽All questions Im sure viewers had.

[@MrJavon712]

Relieved and happy the real talk is back! I love IAA but something bout real talk amongst brothers. The Pivot is what’s needed

[@DR19948]

This show is going to blow up. We all want real authentic, humor, learning stories etc. IAA wish that show nothing but the best, but it started losing steam once we felt like we couldn’t relate. RC is perf for this role

[@DR19948]

@Jazz Warren blow as in do well. “Blow up” lol

[@outqast]

This energy & perseverance to Pivot without animosity, as well as taking care of self by being right by getting right with the internal, & exponging the external toxicity is what's up here. This isn't no accident or phenomenon, it's real ... and so damn refreshing for me personally, as someone who WAS NOT on the wagon prior, due to my own experience, damage, & red flags. & the way things were handled by these fellas is exemplary and Moving Forward without hate in your heart, is way harder to do than just say & you can feel that maturity of heart, spirit & man in every episode. Ain't no Oz behind the curtains no more & that truth creates a environment that is undeniable & palatable ALLIGNMENT. I love what ya'll are doing. Much love. Be free. [ P.S. the merch & branding is on point. Inescapable high cerebral w/ grounded grit! ]

[@jordanallen4443]

Great first episode. Love Channing being Channing still. And y’all sticking with the outline of culture, funnies, and sports. Best wishes to The Pivot and IAA. I’ll continue watching both

I mean if it was on mondays it would be better than the new trash they have been putting out on iaa

IAA was a great podcast and the chemistry was unmatched, but this show has the potential to be better!! Ryan Clark is the new X factor..he's big time, smart, articulate, and ask the best questions. If they get Ocho it's over..

[@IconSince87]

That’s what I was thinking Brandon is a good businessman probably better than the rest of them but that not what makes a great podcast. It’s about the chemistry of the cast.

[@JayJ1091]

OVER!

[@icemanx5085]

RC is the next NFL to Media Rockstar. I don't know why ESPN ain't put the battery in his back already he is that good. He is not a Media guy but he could be Stuart Scott lite. For my money Stew was absolutely the best to ever do it.

[@AYellowSun]

How was it doing too much and getting away from what made it great?

[@TheChamp1_1]

@@AYellowSun started adding other aspects that weren’t needed. And again started getting away from what made this podcast great. It was a period of time where u didn’t t see the guys for damn near a month cause all they episodes were about NASCAR. Which majority of the demographic who watches IAA could careless about. The core fan base wants what brought us here which is that raw, real, authentic conversation about life and other topics. And continuing to get to know these guys and the guess they brought on. Which I believe The Pivot will keep that as the core of the show.

[@yolandadatcher6451]

I was pressed for episodes weekly. But now i read the caption (NASCAR) and move right along. Its definitely not how it started… But it was very much interesting and engaging. It TPP for me now.
