Welcome to the sports media podcast.

I'm your host, Richard Dutch.

My producer is Patrick Antonetti.

This is a first look where we give you a little taste of an upcoming interview.

Usually the interview is the next day as the full one, as this one will be. The guests are

Neil Everett and Stan Verrett. If you have watched ESPN, these are very, very familiar names.

They were a long-time hosts, best known for their work together on ESPN SportsCenter out of Los Angeles.

They are now forming, or have formed, I should say, their own show, which will begin on

September 9th, air live on Twitch, and then ultimately be distributed in many different

places. But they have decided to go as many have gone in terms of being their own content creators and owning their own content.

And so the longtime pair now will have a show, I believe it's the Stan and Neil show.

And you'll be able to catch that on Twitch twice a week.

And they were my guests. The, as part of our interview,

and I think obviously this would be something you'd want to know, I asked Stan Verrett how this came

together and what people can expect from the Stan and Neil show.

All right, Stan.

So obviously there's got to be, if nothing else, a bit of a, let's forget about a business plan for a second, but sort of a content plan.

So what's the thought process from your end in terms of, okay, like, I'm going to call up Neil and I'm going to put something together.

Take me, take my listeners through the genesis of how that happened.

So I'll take you back to a show that we did in Bristol long before LA, we, and when we were in Bristol and we were on two-man sports centers, Neil was paired with Scott Van Pelt.

I was with John Bush for us.

So it just so happened one night in Bristol, me and Neil got paired together.
