0:00.0	Well, the second half, we have a one-on-one with the outspoken Stephen A. Smith, and we'll do that right after this.
0:11.6	Hey, kiddies! You dig hearing the sound of my nasally drone. You dig cars? Good!
0:16.8	I got something called Carcast, and you can get it free on iTunes, or you can listen to it with the free
0:22.8	Adam Corolla app. Also available on Android and iPhone. Go to acecarcast.com for more info. Again,
0:30.8	it is me, it's Matt DeAndre, it is all things cars, it is Carcast.
0:36.8	Stephen A. Smith in Studio Straight Shooter, a memoir, which is a memoir of second chances
0:43.6	and first takes. And it's available as you hear this in bookstores everywhere. Good see
0:51.8	against Stephen A. Smith. Good see you, Matt. How you doing? How's everything? I'm doing good. I'm a

1:26.1	I'll adopt that thing. And I mean, I do have that thinking. I totally appreciate it. But you got

1:42.2	throw facts in their face and they don't give a damn. No, I agree. And you got to give a damn
1:46.7	about the facts. Oh, I agree with that. But I will, I will get you to a baseline of me
1:54.2	appreciating you. If I believe you believe what you're saying, even if it's wrong. Okay.
1:59.5	That's true to that's true to something. In other words, we're both allergic to
2:03.5	alleyers and we have no affection or affinity whatsoever for somebody who's intentionally
2:08.8	dishonest and disingenuous. I can go with that. But you know, you have to earn your way into that
