Summary

The Black Effect Presents... All The Smoke!

Skip Bayless steps into the new ALL THE SMOKE studio with Matt and Stak. The OG sports media provocateur sits down for a two-hour interview, taking us behind the curtain of his wild ride through ESPN and Fox Sports.

Skip keeps it a buck about everything, from his relationship with Stephen A. Smith to his recent split with Shannon Sharpe. The man who turned sports debate into must-see TV opens up about his approach that's had everyone talking for decades. He gets into the real story behind those heated LeBron James takes, his back-and-forth with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, and what it's really like being one of the most loved and hated voices in sports.

But there's more to Skip than just the hot takes — he breaks down his unlikely friendship with Lil Wayne, shares stories about the legends he's covered throughout his career, and takes it back to his Oklahoma City roots.

This is Skip Bayless like you've never heard him — unfiltered and in his bag, telling the stories that never made it to air.
