Pivot Family — you asked, and here we are.

Your favorite trio is back: Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder reunite to break down the real stories behind this summer’s hottest headlines. From sports and culture to relationships and personal growth, the guys tackle life’s toughest pivots—and how one decision can change everything.

As always, it’s raw, honest, and layered with perspective—locker room wisdom served with laughs, truth, pain, and growth. Lists and rankings are just opinions, and you know what the people say about opinions, so this week, the crew reminds us why impact over income is often the better path.

They dive into the cost of fame and the price of trusting the wrong people—like Rams star Puka Nacua’s public relationship fallout, and how young athletes with good hearts often get burned. Tyler Lockett’s story of remaining a virgin until marriage at 30 opens up a powerful conversation on discipline, faith, identity, and resisting the pressure to perform—on and off the field. But you already know—Channing’s take is going to have you in tears laughing, the things he comes up with is just one of a kind!

When it comes to sports and culture no topic’s off limits:

  • Cam Newton’s callout of Jayden Daniels—was it personal? RC says this was a moment Cam should have taken a chance to be wrong instead of go for the sophomore slump chatter.

  • Gillie da Kid’s “young bulls ain’t taking my spot” energy—is that confidence or stuck in old ways?

  • Asante Samuel coming for Chris Carter—what does it say about legends letting go or how OG's treat rising stars?

    Then things get a little more serious....

    Naomi Osaka’s emotional return to the spotlight sparks a vulnerable dialogue on mental health, pressure, and what it means when even greatness doesn’t feel like enough. The guys speak openly about loss, injuries, failure, and the quiet battles no one sees.

    And finally, with Texas devastated by recent flooding, they reflect on how life can shift in an instant—regardless of status or success. Tragedy doesn't discriminate.

    And as always, The Pivot is about more than just moving on—it's about moving forward with intention, purpose, and gratitude. We hope this episode gives you something—a laugh, a new perspective, or the clarity you didn’t know you needed, because that's what family is for!
