"Technology is cool. But being a human is so much cooler. People feel connection. We all understand the financial impacts of AI, but the legal aspects are starting to catch up."
"We like to make fun of tropes like Sports Talk shows that pair two guys from two different cities together. We exaggerate the characters so one is some meathead who played sports but doesn't know what he's doing and the other is super announcer-y."
"There's a time where, whether it was a hip hop, rock song, or even country, people would say that's my jam, and I want to bring the essence of that back,"
"It's in such stark contrast to when I was at ESPN. You weren't even supposed to be mentioning politics. When things were getting too left at ESPN, too liberal, it was because people were speaking up for black athletes. We weren't going to Barack Obama's birthday party."
