Klein called while driving himself to work, wondering if Stephen A. He’ll get used to listening to his new project while sitting in traffic. “I’ll definitely listen to every podcast before I publish it, and let you know. I’m excited about it because it’s proprietary, you know I’m in complete control of it – 100% control of the content, 100% ownership. I work alongside Aucacy and Cadence13, but it’s a big deal For me because I’ve always wanted to spread my wings and expand beyond the standards of sports.

Klein was already known for his intense style and provocative analysis, and he wondered if fans should expect him to ditch any section of the podcast. “Yeah, but I’m pretty close to doing it anyway,” he says. “I say ‘fuck’ and ‘hell’, but sometimes I’ll go a little further.

Klein, sneaks a math question towards the end, although Learn about mercy The podcast won’t focus on this, it just opened up the topic of Pickleball, much to the chagrin of every Pickleballer – including his friend and early investor LeBron James. “I never cared for him, I never saw him. I heard about him because of LeBron, but I never cared about him and I’m not about to do it.” Well, does that mean he will refuse to cover it? “Hell, yeah,” Stephen A says without losing his breath.
